maintains russia is aiding the local militia in eastern ukraine and was involved in the crash but refuses to specify the source of its information. and a humanitarian truce struggles to hold him garza a massive israeli forces failed to reach a cease fire deal with israel vowing more naval and ground attacks in retaliation to rocket fire. welcome my name is the harvey and you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international. kira's army is continuing its crackdown on anti-government forces in the restive east with urban areas being caught in its deadly fire we're getting reports from the opposition held city of goal of care where the latest artillery

attack on the city center has reportedly killed at least thirteen civilians with some media suggesting that death toll could be higher the following pictures be warned contains some graphic images a family of three including a one year old child have reportedly been killed and these unverified images could just 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 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 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 ganske the latest bombardment there has reportedly claimed at least six lives that's after

yesterday's shelling killed nineteen most of the two dozen damaged buildings were residential and a school and a kindergarten also hit although what you're seeing here is the aftermath of one of the bloodiest scenes this is where a bus stopped full of people came under fire this is our one of the witnesses described what baseball's are all that off the ball very often religious version of the whole. look ok what do you the favor. would be your top priority for you before you do this or the over. the floor of your residence or move to the other where you move the other level and you can hear that what you would use what you heard was a little bit of those do a lot of intervals. this week human rights watch lashed out at the ukrainian army for using unguided grad rockets launched into populated areas in the restive east the group says that the opposition controlled city have done yet scame under such missile attacks four times in mid july the group warns the grad rocket systems

cannot carry out precise attacks and their use in residential areas come because if i was a war crime human rights watchers appeal to both sides of the conflict to stop using this kind of weaponry as more lives are put at risk of the authors of the report warm said 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 see these kinds of weapons in populated areas it's a really high risk for civilians to be 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 buy in looking at the creator's 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 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 ukrainian 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 credit records in populated areas. that are evidence is quite clear and the ukrainian government

should investigate and should be stopped the use of these weapons in populated areas. also this week more than forty ukrainian troops abandoned their positions and crossed the border into russia some of them have reportedly asked for russian citizenship the soldiers say they are fed up with waging war against their own people 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 the fighting is preventing international teams from reaching the scene the army's believed to be storming the town of torres right now and as you can see on our map it is located right next to the site of the tragedy that's despite the 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 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 and hoping to get to the crash site on monday journalist patrick lang caster managed to visit the scene a couple of hours ago. right. around. where we could hear explosions in the distance there's really went forward probably very far ukrainian military tanks growing grama road and now we are very close to. the action. of heavy gun fire and it was. now the netherlands from

where the ill fated m.h. seven hundred flight departed was the hardest hit nation by the tragedy the planes carrying the. bodies recovered from the scene of been arriving there throughout the week the first victim from the just as we've identified a citizen team of two hundred forensic experts say that it could take months for all the victims to be identified on the speed of the reports now from a country in grief. and outpouring of public so. the people of iraq today pay tribute to a family that's restored was part of the very fabric of the community this family is so within the whole community would need a whole city so everybody knows someone here and has been coming you know for years so you're quite shocked restaurant owners before fun in jenny low died in the crash along with ms lois mother and sweet 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 it outside the asian doors restaurant floral tributes iowa those who knew the family that concerned more with laying the dead to rest than 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 piece for all of our party rotterdam. an australian couple who lost their daughter in the m a seventeen crash to 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 twenty five

year old daughter fastener was an aerospace engineering student you'd hope to become a pilot. bit first thing when we heard this he said how we should survive it's he said how do we survive if we promise our we have promised our doctor 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 with a probe easier to establish the cause of the disaster but it's widely thought the m eight seventeen flight was shot down by a missile 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 at what they're gathered moscow says it 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 at 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 that was released we haven't received any from ukraine or from the police come into it on forcible causes for the disaster with more still there cormorants based on what you will from social media. the u.s. says that the malaysian airliner was downed by a surface to air missile launched from territory controlled by local militia it's also blaming russia for aging and to care for says that washington has yet to reveal the evidence it claims it has 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 any heavier equipment home 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 could point to that i mean you know engines and i'm just wondering if you would what it is i just said i wasn't going to give you the underlined for story me did you cited a loved one it really was you it's not because you're right i don't give you more information just saying that 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 theory i think 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. but washington's accusations were picked up by many news outlets laying the blame for the crash directly at the russian president store parties going to church account has been mulching 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 and 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 i 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 mh 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 say that claim is brushed off as propaganda 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. intelligence analysts have reportedly suggested the missile that

brought down flight seventeen was fired by ukrainian troops citing u.s. satellite images but that version has been silenced by the mainstream media as investigative journalist robert perry now explains. this sort of prejudging of a case had can have serious consequences toward the the overall conclusion if for instance that i was told by one source that there are cia cia analysts in the us government who have been reviewing some of the satellite imagery and they and their inclination was that the missile battery was under the control of the ukrainian military but if you're those analysts and the secretary of state has come out with a conclusion which goes counter to that you might be more likely to not reach the conclusion that you were headed to because it would affect your career. if you stay with us if you count here and i'll say still to come this hour israel and hamas trade ceasefire. and palestinian militant groups 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 sprayed bringing the full story after this short break. this is the media leave us so we leave the. potions to. the party there's a bill. that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all politics only one of our. 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 too long shot can do that shit and we have all forced to live show.

welcome back to the weekly here on r.t. truth surface between hamas and israel seem to be falling apart with both sides failing to reach an agreement and continuing to trade accusations the previous u.n. broken humanitarian trees ended when a barrage of rockets were fired by hamas into israeli territory and us then said that no humanitarian ceasefire would be valid without israeli tanks withdrawing billions is being able to freely move around gaza but israel still insists it will

you finish its operation until it's demolished the underground tunnel networks which we have wall from jerusalem they were barrages 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 of zero on saturday by both sides that ceasefire was a u.n. brokered can manage tarion 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 yet had

any official reaction from israel as to this latest cease fire put forward by him that's 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 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 would. try to hold on to the remaining arsenal and extend the fighting in the gaza strip for quite some time so it certainly doesn't look as if the feeling on the ground is if we're going to see a station of hostilities in time soon our correspondents video taken from the heart of one of the worst hit areas in the strip be warned though it contains some graphic images. of what we're doing now. we're going to move. on we're going. these pictures apparently sure man among the

ruins of destroyed residential homes is thought to be the target of the israeli government come for the man appears to be searching for cover when a bullet hits him while he stretched out on the ground we spoke to an eyewitness of the incident this is. with respect to the death all together there were four shots fired the first one missed him but remained it three were 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 area we had wanted to do was find is that me resulted in his day there was supposed to be a cease fire as well however as reset into division there was bombing nearby there was shelling nearby and snipers shooting this. israel says that incessant

rocket fire from gaza during the trees caused it to relaunch its offensive by calling paul scott spoke to paul person a spokesman for the israeli foreign ministry who 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 the 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. 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 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 positions they were firing heavily from that was being fired on i was kept in a cell 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 are going to want to account my e-mail account my youtube account which is obviously money in livelihood so many 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 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 an effect of your eye 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. at the time when phyllis one 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 is what the spokesman of ukraine security services had to say. i know he's been sick you know hostage there's no information orders were boats or whether 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 his life was actually threatened is what he claimed was part of a conversation he had with a ukrainian security officer. so yes because our little plan design glue. not into this. is if you wouldn't do me what you will carry you really don't you can reveal to them you knew all. the more just because i thought they wanted you to just be happy you got caught in the or you thirdly new guy that you can go on you. go you go with he did you. would you what he. did. i still believe he was in the region. but not for me knew. ok up next stakes floor the all bearing sands of canada

and the ecological price the country pays to satisfy its neighbors thirst for black gold stay with us here on r.t. . 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 ever 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 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 of 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.

my grandmother had told me that we could. see who were coming at the time i didn't understand. what he worked out and that. imo. i'm sure the four years will. be. in my life when i travel by board or by air it did. destroy don't recall the last. mega billion dollars every day. if you ever watched a nuclear. night you would argue with. it john real you don't understand. beautiful the miami. larson's

land was once vast northern forest it has now become the biggest industrial project in the world the extraction of oil sands in canada. trees have been replaced with giant chimneys. oversized machines and scraped this browned land overflowing with beecham and an extremely polluting oil derivative. it's the last giant rush for black gold on a global scale. and the oil companies have come together here in the state of. the sandman's eldorado. us that is a very interesting story because it has been there for ages that resource is so large today it represents the amount that can be recovered both economically as well as technically so is the right technology one hundred seventy three or one hundred sixty nine just counting the oil sands billion barrels so that hundred sixty nine billion barrels makes it the third largest resource of oil anywhere in the world.
