7:09 pm
a look now at that moscow says it detected another aircraft in the same path as the malaysian plane which is bearing the parameters of a ukrainian military jet however here of claims all of its planes were on the ground at the time plus satellite images show ukrainian rocket launching system in the area just days before the crash but on the same day as a tragedy it 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 from ukraine or from greece commenting on forcible causes for the disaster is more still there cormorants based on material from social media the u.s. says the malaysian airliner which crashed killing at least killing all two hundred ninety eight people on board was or done by a surface to air missile washington claims that was fired from territory controlled
7:10 pm
by militia groups it's also criticized russia for allegedly supporting anti here forces washington has yet to provide evidence of these claims a fact that has not been lost on journalists. 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 the 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 could 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 slightly out of love in many ways it's not with us you're right i don't give you more information just saying that i think you're the source i'm actually asked you a question here by katie the source a 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 see when you make an allegation like that you're able to back it up with something more than just
7:11 pm
because i say so within a few hours of the malaysian plane catastrophe many western politicians as well as journalists had already made up their minds on who was to blame several news outlets pointed the finger at russia this by the lack of any investigation results and this as you can 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 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 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 the
7:12 pm
ambassador here in kuala lumpur are present. events to the malaysian radio 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 image seventeen but when you follow the link on this page it has an article in russian which reviews all the apparently put on hold fake fur jeans 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
7:13 pm
had the capability to do it contrary to what here 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. state department has released images which it says backup claims that russia has fired rockets into ukrainian territory the pictures have spread across social networks and the media but their origin is not pm they claim to show the impact of multiple rocket launches fired over the border from russia at ukrainian military units at the russian parliament says the material contains no actual evidence the u.s. secretary of state though insists that that mosque is using heavy weapons despite russia's foreign minister denying this in their sunday phone conversation from a u.s. treasury official and columnist paul craig roberts told us why he isn't convinced
7:14 pm
by these pictures. someone needs to ask the state department did they issue or this information by email early on a sunday morning this is a completely dead time in news many american cities aren't even out yet san francisco los angeles seattle it's still early hours in the morning so. if this was released by the state department which i doubt it's so unprofessional i was a assistant secretary the united states treasury i was added to the wall street journal this is not the way important news is released ever. coming up after the break on our national. scale hangs in the balance come us and israel failed to reach to extend a humanitarian. mediation efforts from the united nations.
7:15 pm
7:16 pm
the. economic down in the final. days. and the rest. will be if we. are watching r t international a twenty four hour ceasefire extension between israel and hamas which had been proposed by the united nations failed to hold on sunday first the palestinian militant group rejected the deal firing broad rockets from gaza into israel the group explained that it could not agree to a. truce until israel pulled out of gaza it prompted israel to continue its operations on sunday morning later hamas relented and call for the truce to be reinstated but according to israeli officials failed to comply with its own
7:17 pm
proposal according to reports from the area the fighting for plighted during the day but there is still no official truce deal in place honestly it would force. 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 all of this 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 has 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 ratings have
7:18 pm
saved that they believe that the number of rockets that hamas and islamic jihad have at their disposal has decreased dramatically because of this israeli 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. it's not take a look at a video our correspondents and us earlier in the week from one of the worst hit areas of gaza it does contain some disturbing images. ok that's what we're doing now. we're going to move. on with her. the man man can be seen in the little room a residential building in the video is going to show him hit by israeli gunfire and
7:19 pm
the man appears to be seeking cover on a bullet hits him while he's stretched out on the ground means is what an eyewitness told us. with respect to the death 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 a lot on the ground and the third war and war is 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 more he was leading the way he was on the floor and he knew the air we had wanted to do was find his army this resulted in his day there was supposed to be a cease fire as well however as research into the region there was bombing nearby there was shelling nearby and snipers shooting it's. on sunday evening barack obama called the israeli prime minister's seeking an immediate and
7:20 pm
unconditional cease fire in gaza and in a poll scott talked to a spokesman the israeli foreign ministry and he said that israel's operation is merely a response to aggression from calm us. they say that all timothy's 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 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 has named it is perpetrating war crime of the war crime 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 all said with quiet calm will be responded to with call this message was rejected out
