were a lot of customers there another fell in a residential yard in another near the city's maternity home causing a little 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 these pictures are from uganda school which is also being relentlessly bombed in the latest assault claimed at least six lives and one thousand others were killed on saturday local authorities say food and water supplies are running low because the city is located. and this is the result of the a tillery shell hitting. a local told how it all happened. on water off the boat not of getting just gotten off the hook . but it looks like there were three to five. but you don't get more for you to spot are going to be here on the other. ones probably just want you all right i'm going to move you to the other where you'll need the other you want you to give

them what you want to get what you and i was able to get out of those few. this week human rights watch said here for may be responsible for a large number of civilian deaths in eastern ukraine because it's firing unguided rockets into residential areas and the system they're talking about is a truck mounted to mount to multiple rocket launcher called grad which means hail in russian human rights watch found that ukraine's army may have killed over a dozen civilians with this weapon in the region last month is used in residential areas and is considered a war crime now the group appealed to both sides in the conflict not to use such armaments one of the authors of this report gave more details about the findings. 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 procedurally instead the 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 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 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 private weapons 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. on saturday more than forty ukrainian soldiers across into russia after refusing to fight for their government an official in the south of the country says that true more ukrainian border guards did the same thing and or sauce of russian citizenship soldiers say they do not want to kill their people and that local militia fighters let them across the border meanwhile on thursday the ukrainian finance minister admitted that cash to

fund the military campaign will dry up by the end of the month. the ukrainian army has launched an assault against anti-government forces seeking to regain control over the site of the recent malaysian plane disaster intense fighting is believed to have killed thirteen civilians including two children the army has reported that the stormed the town of torres which is right next to the site of the tragedy and that's despite ukraine's president poroshenko ordering a non-combat saying forty kilometers around the area earlier this week now the head of the always c.e. monitoring mission in ukraine has expressed concern that the fighting around the question is hampering the probe forensic experts have arrived in ukraine to recover the remains of passengers and docked a full investigation however they were forced to cancel plans to visit the site on sunday to be intensifying and rest another lens and malaysia also scrapped

the initiative to send an international armed mission to secure the site saying the risks what great journalist patrick lancaster managed to visit the scene. we had left him a servant question right. there while we were there are just flying around overheard or we can hear explosions in the distance. there's really no one forward dollars very far ukrainian military tanks going down the road and now we are very close to search for. torres and i can see. very very heavy gunfire and explosions. the first relatives of victims have arrived at the scene of the disaster in eastern ukraine and australian couple lost the only child on malaysia airlines flight seventy five year old

a team or was an aerospace engineering student. the first thing then be very hard to see said how he should survive this he said how do we survive if we promise our we have promised our daughter we will come here but it actually is soon as possible to the time factor because he should have come here the minute it happened the next day the progress here to establish the cause of the disaster but is wildly thought the mh seventeen flight was shot down by a missile now russia's defense ministry has presented on the crash an information about the crash publishing satellite images and radio tracking data from that day let's take a look at that now moscow says it detected another aircraft in the same path as the malaysian plane which was bearing the parameters of the ukrainian military jet

however here claims all of its planes were on the ground at the time plus satellite images show a ukrainian rocket launching system in the area just days before the crash but on the same day as the tragedy was apparently moved to an unknown 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. commenting on forcible causes for the disaster with their comments based on material from social media. the u.s.s. the malaysian airliner which crashed killing all two hundred ninety eight people on board was brought down by a surface to air missile washington claims that it was fired from territory controlled by militia groups it's also criticize russia for allegedly supporting and to kill forces washington has yet to provide evidence for these claims but that

has been lost on journalist hasn't been lost on journalist i would like to know what you're basing this new evidence that the russians intend to send in any heavier equipment space science mentalities 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 you tube video or something that you can point us to that i mean you know engines and i'm just wondering if you what what what it is i just said i wasn't going to give you the underlined source for me did you say you had a lovely reworking it's not that you actually don't give you more information just saying that i think the source i'm actually asked you a question here by can 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 if you say you make an allegation like that you're able to back it up with something more than just because i say so we're going to a few hours of the malaysian plane catastrophe many western politicians as well as

journalists have already made up their minds on who was to blame several news outlets pointed the finger at russia despite the lack of any investigation results and it is again 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 a sentiment 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 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 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 are 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 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 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. the u.s. has released images which it says the back up of planes that the russian military has been firing rockets into ukraine in territory these pictures provided by the state department claim to show the impact of multiple rocket launches fired over the border from russia and ukraine in military units the images have spread across social networks and the media but they were written isn't clear russia's state duma says the material contains no actual evidence u.s. secretary of state there still exists and that russia is using heavy weapons despite russia's foreign minister denying this in their sunday frank conversation paul craig roberts is a former u.s. treasury official and columnist and he told us why he finds the material convincing

someone needs to ask the state department did they issue this information by email early on a sunday morning this is a complete dead time in years and many american cities are even up yet. in cisco los angeles seattle it's still early hours in the morning. if this was released by the state which i doubt it's unprofessional i was assistant secretary of states treasury i was added to the wall street journal this is not the way. this is released ever. coming up after the break on our team to national an elusive cease while for war torn gaza hamas and israel failed to reach a deal on the u.n. proposed extension to humanitarian truce by the militant group actually agree to the proposal on sunday.

one thing air is to the west is sad people essentially leaving in this world when they believe that you know that me to. hear them talk to. they simply don't realize when propaganda is being parts of town we need to go by you know beyond that and actually gauge what the ideas in the information that is presented as well and confront that information and i think that's something that as you mentioned before not everything is black and white not everything isn't taken the stick and the more that we can be i guess. open minded con a source of information regardless of the source i think we're all going to be the . government system is to help poor people who are women but they're going to change their lives and nobody's trying to make money out of them those who want to make

money out of them but. turn the whole thing to their church and we're all forced to. welcome back to this week's the weekly twenty four hour cease why extension between israel and hamas which had been proposed by the united nations a fail to hold on sunday first the palestinian militant group rejected the deal firing brothels of rockets from gaza into israel. the group explained that if it could not agree to a trees until israel pulled out of gaza this prompted israel to continue its operations on sunday morning later hamas relented and called for the truce to be reinstated but according to israeli officials they failed to comply with the

proposal according to reports from the area the fighting subsided during the day but there is still no official news deal in place policy reports there 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 same to 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 those follows a cease fire the loss of zero 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 these radios have

said 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 awesome though and extend the fighting in the gaza strip for quite some time so it certainly doesn't look as if. that's not a good look at a video correspondent send us earlier in the week from one of the worst hit areas of gaza it does contain some disturbing images. that's what we're hearing now. from i'm going to move. on when we're on the right. a palestinian we can be soon going to the roof of a residential building in gaza the video is believed there. by israeli gunfire

menace to seeking cover when a bullet hits him while he is stretched out on the ground with what an eyewitness. perspective the day that all together there were four shots fired the first one missed him but the remainder three were aimed for him the second one was fatal. which caused him to fall down low on the ground and the third one was i guess for them to make sure that they had got to him basically he was as far as we are aware he was looking for his family he was frantic he was with her he was leading the way he was on the floor and he knew the air we had wanted to do was find me resulted in his death there was supposed to be a ceasefire as well however as reset into the region there was bombing nearby there was shelling nearby and snipers shooting is. as always plenty more for you on our website including a three d. printed almost students from florida university changed the life of

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. at the time when phillips went missing in ukraine security forces said they had no information regarding his whereabouts they also deny that the military has been detaining reporters insisting it actually protects them here's what a spokesman for care of security service had to say. no information on this were boats there's a wrong turn. and. a polish woman are reporting for ukraine and t.v. channel has been wounded in a combat operation in eastern ukraine according to the polish foreign ministry in ukraine has now become the world's most dangerous place for journalists according to the international news safety institute seven media workers have killed been killed there since of the start of the year war in iraq syria and pakistan

a stay of execution due to the questionable nature of lethal injection drugs said that the good old firing squad would be a lot more humane and his opinion eight or ten large caliber bullets fired at close range inflict massive damage causing instant death every time i think lethal injection is popular not for the executed but for society as judge kozinski said shooting someone in the head with a machine gun is instant death so why don't they use the firing squad because that would be messy and raise questions quietly injecting people way from prying public eyes allows the dirty deed to be done without the hassle of ugly news footage i think that it says something odd about society that we must kill the wicked and murderous but could you do it in a bloodless way completely out of sight i don't want to lose my appetite but that's just my opinion.

crosstalk rules in effect that you can jump in anytime you want. hello and welcome to worlds apart alcohol one of the world's favorite vices is also

a leading cause of death and the only should seek to control it can also be used as a means of money population well to discuss that i'm now joined by mark lowen frog and assistant professor of political science and author of the politics alcohol of talk recently and the secret history of the russian state 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 used 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 it was used and to be arguing is quite the opposite that successive russian governments have intentionally encouraged alcoholism as a way of filling state coffers am i reading your right yeah that's one element of this is that the alcohol revenues are essential part of russian state craft.
