deadly fire as ukraine's army launched a crackdown on government forces in the eastern city of some viewers may find the following images disturbing. martin. is no liberal do just reviewing the. morning. at least thirteen people including two children were killed in court off in the latest phase of kiev so-called terrorist operation some media sources suggest the death toll could be even higher medical teams are said to be working to their limits due to the continuous shelling which is left burnt bodies stoddard all across the city center and several buildings in ruins and here is what one local

resident told us. it was a strike on the city it most likely from a grad rocket systems there is a very popular supermarket in the city center when the shelf and on to it there were a lot of customers then 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. in lugansk that latest bombardment house reportedly claimed at least six lives after yesterday's shelling killed nineteen most of the two dozen damaged buildings were residential on a school and kindergarten were also hit this is the aftermath of one of the bloodiest scenes where a crowded bus stop came on fire and this is how one of the witnesses described what they saw. along with all. the both religious burden off the hook. but it looks like it would be the favorite. would be you don't perform or you're just

bothering to do this or the other. or your residence or the other where you live or the other neighbor and you can hear what you want to get what you're going to still get out of those cute. this week human rights watch the ukrainian army for launching on guided grodd markets into populated areas and the rest of the group says the opposition controlled city of donetsk came under such missile attacks four times in mid july the group warns the grad rocket system cannot carry out precise attacks on the up their use in residential areas can 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 are at risk one of the authors of the report says 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 needs 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 we 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 a 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 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 our evidence is quite clear and the ukrainian government should investigate and should immediately stop the use of these weapons in populated areas. also this week more than forty ukrainian troops abandoned their posts and crossed the border into russia some of them have reportedly asked for russian citizenship the soldiers say they refused to fight a war against their own people many of the injured are being treated in russian hospitals. the ukrainian military has launched

a toxin local militia bases near the malaysian plane crash site the fighting is preventing international teams from reaching the scene the army is believed to be storming the ton of torres as you can see right next to the site all of the tragedy another despite ukrainian president petro poroshenko ordering a no combat zone forty kilometers around the area earlier this week now a team of a stream dutch police and experts as well as european security monitors are staying in the regional capital the net's been able to reach the site of the crush your local militia for an international police presence on the scene but so far teams have had to abandon their plans to be escalating violence in the area european security moncrief reported the situation on the ground appeared on safe and are hoping to get across side on monday journalist contraband castor mom used to visit the scene. we had left the inmates there and crashed right.

there while we were very very many jets flying around overhead or we could hear explosions in the dirt and. we went forward local television our ukrainian military tanks going down the road and now we're very close to the separatists and torres and i can see. from the very very heavy gunfire and explosions. today nothing is from where the ill fated m.h. seventeen flight departed just hit the hardest by the tragedy the plane. currying the bodies recovered from the scene have been arriving there throughout the week the first victim from the disaster has been identified and it's a dutch citizen a team of two hundred forensic experts say it could take months for all the victims to be identified artie's peter all reports from a country in grief. i

doubt the public so. the people of iraq to pay tribute to a family is restored to his politics the very fabric because this family is so weird in 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 the engine died in the crash along with these laws mother holds weight for only this son kevin wasn't on the plane now he's left pick up the fees 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 borders restaurant floral tributes iowa those who knew the family that concerned more with laying the dead to rest in these national climate 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 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 quality rotterdam. honest really and couple who lost their daughter in the crush become the first family to visit the site of the tragedy be insisted on going to the scene despite warnings of combat in a year their twenty five year old daughter a phantom a was an earth space engineering student and had hoped to become a pilot. the first thing then be then really hard as he said how he should survive his he said how do we survive it we promise i'll let you have promised our daughter. come here but it actually as soon as possible does the time factor week 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 defense ministry presented its information on the crash publishing soft live images on radar tracking data from a let's take a look. ses it detected another aircraft in the same path as the malaysian plane which was bearing the parameters of a ukrainian military jet however key have claims all of its planes are on the ground the time lost soft live 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 a partly moved to an all known location russia's defense ministry is still waiting for comment on the information it has released we haven't received any from ukraine or from the trees to really come into our own poor simple causes for the

disaster was more still there corman's based on what you will from social media now the u.s. sees the malaysian airliner was done by a surface to air missile launched from territory controlled by local militia and it's also blaming russia for aiding kiev forces 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 against moscow. i would like to know what you're basing this new evidence that the russians intend to send any heavier equipment on 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 what what what it is i did but i wasn't going to give you the underlined for story needed use like that alone many ways 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 but i can't give you the source and that it 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 washington's claims from picked up by many news outlets laying the blame for the cross directly up the russian president store going to church account has been keeping track of the media frenzy. 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 russians and directly involved 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 seven team 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 promptly 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 r t the us has released images it's a claims the russian military has been firing rockets a few korean territory these pictures courtesy of the state department claim to show the impact of multiple rocket launchers fired over the border from russia and ukrainian military units the images have been widely distributed on social networks in the media however no u.s. official has commented on the issue thus far the exact source of the data.
