u.s. intelligence sources are looking at either the sa-11 or sa-20.he sa-11 is significant because the u.s. intelligence knows the rebels got ahold of ansa-11 a few weeks ago. in the last four days, when they've seen three planes fall out of the sky, they believe in fact whether it was operational after all. the sa-20 is significant because that is another word for an s-300. this is a kind of missile launcher old held by the russian military. it is a much more difficult missile to fire. so if in fact u.s. intelligence determines that it was an sa-20 that brought down the plane, that it could possibly be from the russian territory. that's why it's significant that those sources are telling us they cannot rule out the missile was fired from the russian side of the border. >> quickly, jen, this comes a day after the president announced sanctions, specific sanctions against specific firms. >> specific defense firms, including one firm which makes the buk missiles. those are the sa-11 missiles. so if it was ansa-11, it shows the white house and state depar

u.s. military and intelligence analysts scouring classified data. they narrowed in on two pieces of critical information detected by u.s. satellite and radar feeds. first, a surface-to-air missile system had been turned on in a separatist controlled area in eastern ukraine. a memo later, a u.s. satellite captured the heat signature of a midair explosion. >> we know within hours of this event, this particular system passed through two towns right in the vicinity of the shoot down. we know because we observed it by imagery that at the moment of the shoot down we detected a launch from that area and our trajectory shows that it went to the aircraft. >> reporter: the conclusion, a russian-supplied buk surface-to-air missile launcher shot down the flight. the evidence, according to the analysis posted by the state department, intersepts of separatist communications posted on youtube by the ukrainian government indicate the separatists were in possession of an sa-11 system as early as monday july 14th. the sa-11, the western name for the buk. u.s. intellig

u.s. intelligence suggested could have taken down the aircraft. the ukrainian intelligence services put out a tape of an intercepted phone call between rebel leaders first bragging about shooting down a plane and while we have no way of confirming the authenticity of the tape, during a second phone call released by the ukrainians, the commander goes from ex-sided to bewildered when he's informed it was a commercial airliner they shot down. the question remains who are the rebels and more importantly their leaders, including stralkopf, is he a ukrainian who loves mother russia or intelligence officer leading the rebels. the key question is who actually controlled that surface-to-air missile battery, russian special forces or pro-russian separatists. it is an awfully blurry line between the two groups. back to you. >> leland, since you were on the ground there, it will be very significant gaining access to the crash site itself. what can you tell us about this area where the plane went down? >> imagine the farmland, you'd probably think about it as a

u.s. intelligence officials speaking on conditions of anonymity really under thinking veil of secrecy are coming out and saying that they have absolutely no evidence and no proof showing any kind of involvement on behalf of the russian government when it comes to this tragedy certainly this is something that's a very big development in this story because this does not really fit the narrative that the u.s. has been pushing in this whole ordeal as of course meanwhile certainly the investigation is really just beginning to take off importantly we've heard from one u.s. intelligence officials say we don't know we name we don't know a rank and we're not even one hundred percent sure of a nationality this keeping this in mind they are continuing to say that it's likely this was a mystique shoot down conducted by the anti key of fighters on the ground in eastern ukraine but it looks like because of so much secrecy and these reports really are you and interpret it differently certainly in the u.s. media we seeing journalists going so far as to say that they have don't even have any certainty at

u.s. intelligence source that right now, the u.s. intelligence committee -- community, excuse me, is ruling out that the buk missile fired at the malaysian airlines plane was fired by the ukraine military. we reported in the past the ukraine military as well as the separatists and russia have these buk missiles which are able to fly up to 72,000 feet. now i'm told from a senior u.s. intelligence source that it was either an sa-20 or sa-11. we've been talking about a sa-17 earlier today. i'm told by this source who is following the intelligence very closely, that they have ruled out the sa-17. it is either an sa 11 or or sa-20. they said they saw they had an 15-11 a few weeks ago, but it was not operational. then in the last 72 hours, when they saw three planes fall out of the sky in the same location in the donetsk region, they started to believe that the sa-11 was in fact operational. the senior u.s. official tells me that they cannot rule out that the missile was fired from the russian side of the border. right now, they're working

u.s. intelligence say there's no direct link between russia and the downing of the malaysian airliner over ukraine says flight m.h. seventeen was shot down by anti here fighters but gave no hard evidence. that may seventeenth flight data recorders head to the u.k. to be decoded as investigators begin identifying passengers body saying they're satisfied with the probes progress so far. but the u.s. and european media keep pressing the crash on russia brushing off all evidence to the contrary as propaganda claiming they voiced the whole world's rage and claims and counterclaims continue over the boeing tragedy the u. draws up further sanctions against russia over the crisis in ukraine. and it's nice to have you company with r.t. international now there's nothing directly tying russia to the downing of flight m.h. seventeen the u.s. intelligence officials have been anxious during a press briefing they believe it was the work of antigovernment forces but the officials say they aren't even sure of the nationality let alone who did it. sums up the briefing the west intelligence official speaking

u.s. intelligence matched the voices to other separatist recordings. the rebels claimed to have shut down a military personal property plan. when it was clear it was a passenger jet, social media posts were quickly deleted and then there was this. further evidence of a rush connection. u.s. intelligence has identified a facility in southwest russia where rebel fighters have been trained on surface to air missile systems. the u.s. said that more than a dozen aircraft were shot down over eastern ukraine. could the ukrainians have shot down flight 17, the u.s. said no. ukraine has the same weapons but none of those weapons were in the region at the time. cnn, the pentagon. >>> and as barbara mentioned 12 planes not four. which was already told. why were commercial jets flying over this part of the eastern ukraine. and that situation may change after this. >> as soon as it was shot down, the tracking shows all of these airplanes diverting away. >> yes. hopeful it will stay that way. as thousands of gazans are left without shelter and how some are seeking r

u.s. intelligence official. >> the foreign minister the move was necessary. >> politicians here in berlin have been seething over alleged u.s. spying, saying washington has never answered key questions. >> with two suspected journal -- german double agents discovered, the government apparently felt things had gone too far. >> the u.s. embassy in berlin is at the center of a diplomatic scandal. germany's foreign minister says the decision was the right one. he intends to discuss the matter with his u.s. counterpart at an upcoming meeting on a rant's -- iran's nuclear program. >> we want to rebuild our partnership and our friendship on a foundation of honesty. we are prepared to do that. that will be my message to john kerry when i meet him on the weekend in vienna. >> the opposition wants germany to send a stronger message to the u.s. and respond with actions as well as words. >> it is not credible to be on one hand extremely angry about these spying cases, but on the other to be negotiating this free trade deal. >> but the government says the current global situation makes a functioning re

u.s. intelligence community showing the trajectory of the attack after analyzing data. u.s. ce picked up the missile launcher being turned on and then the vertical asent of the missile and heat plume enabling intelligence analysts to then calculate the missile's trajectory and launch point on the ground near the russian boarder. mh-17 was on this course when the missile was fired hitting the plane here. there were secondary explosions from the plane as it crashed to the ground. getting to the wreckage now vital. pieces of the missile may still be there and the wreckage of mh-17 has much to tell. >> analysis of the shrapnel and damage to the aircraft will tell us how it was struck, what systems hit and how the aircraft came down. >> reporter: in the wake of the attack, there is little military evidence the russians are going to go back. u.s. officials say russia continues to ship weapons across the boarder into ukraine as many as 20 tanks and armored vehicles on tuesday alone. u.s. officials also released this satellite image of a military area just inside the russian boarder.

u.s. intelligence is watching that border by the minute. not looking good, according to several sources we have spoken to. what they are noticing, we are told, by u.s. officials, is the russians, there's about 12 to 15,000 russian troops on that southeastern border you see. several of them now breaking up into smaller groups and moving right to the border, less than five miles, some of them. some of them sitting literally right on the border with eastern ukraine, right up against that rebel-controlled territory. why might the russians be doing this? the u.s. believes at the moment they might be doing it because they want to be able to fire from inside russia on that side of the border, whether it's russian troops or rebels, coming back across the border. they fire from the russian side, they have plausible deniability, they say it wasn't them. they believe nobody can prove it. they can claim it was the ukrainians firing. so this is quite concerning right now, because at the same time, what the u.s. also sees is russia continuing to ship hea

u.s. intelligence did not take the pictures and cannot independently verify them. but it can confirm the authenticity of phone calls interpreted by european communityian intelligence in which rebels are talking about positioning the sa-11s. the senior intelligence officials say the sa-11 likely came from this base in southwestern russia as part of a build-up of rebel force nozz recent weeks after they suffered sed backs at the hands of the ukrainian military. u.s. intelligence was not aware of sa-11s until the day of the shootdown, when it detected a surface to air missile launch at the same time the airliner disappeared from radar. photos of the records show pitting intelligence officials said was consistent with shap flel from an exploding war head. shortly after a known rebel leader was overheard reporting "we have just shot down a plane." the next day, this video of an sa-11 launcher missing one of its missiles and loaded on the back of a flatbed truck appeared on social media. it was supposedly taken near the border with russia as the missile was being shipped

u.s. intelligence, this is an international flight. it presents putin with an opportunity to change course. whether he will take it or not, i don't know. let's look at what he will be facing. some of the fundamentals won't change. they still plan on russian natural gas, so tomorrow their headlines will be about the citizens in eeach of those countries. in germany, in the netherlands and then there will be funerals and investigations, and in some of these cases there may be elections so this is a story that is going to cap thursday the imagination of the europeans. it isn't going to die tomorrow or next week. so i think that will take a political toll. >> you can't be surprised that intelligence officials are essentially confirming that this was a shoot down that it has checked all of these assets and come to that conclusion. stopping short of appointing the finger of responsibility at one group or another? >> yeah, we spoke last hour, and you know i tend to be cautious. there are those that -- but i felt like that this was not going to

u.s. intelligence establishment. so with that kind of history, it's going to be very difficult for mrs. merkel to assert her authority, and i see this as a kind of a metaphor for the unhanga, the appendage relationship that has existed between germany and the united states send the end of world war ii really. one of the things that has been

u.s. satellite and signals intelligence has determined the point of origin of the missile launch. further u.s. defense officials tell me that they have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the intercepted phone calls released last night by the ukrainian government which rebel commanders claim to have shot down a plane. in fact, just 20 minutes after the plane went down, this man, igor bezler, the self-proclaimed minister of defense tore russian separatist its is talking to a russian military intelligence officer. the rebel commander is essentially reporting back to a colonel in the russian military main intelligence department inside of russia. >> translator: we just shot down a plane. that was miner's group. it fell down outside of. pilots. where are the pilots? set off to search for a shot-down plain to take pictures of it. plume of sneak is visible. how many minutes ago? about 30 minutes ago. >> reporter: important to remember the separatists are current or former members of russian military units and as samantha power just pointed out, when a ukrainian fighter pilot was shot

u.s. intelligence it was a surface-to-ais

u.s. intelligence agencies conduct electronic surveillance of political religious or activist figures solely because they disagree with public policies or based on ethnicity or sexual orientation or religion. but the targets of that surveillance aren't buying it.

u.s. intelligence officials have no smoking gun linking russia to the attack, they say russia was responsibleating the conditions that led to the jet being shot down. susan mcginnis is in washington. susan, good morning. >> reporter: anne-marie, good morning. u.s. intelligence officials still believe russia supplied the missile the rebels used to shoot down the plane. they are still trying to determine how much culpability russia has in this tragedy as they do their work today. the people of the netherlands await the arrival of hundreds of the victims. the remains of some of the victims of malaysia airlines flight 17 will be flown from this airport in ukraine to the netherlands this morning. once there, experts will start identifying those who lost their lives when the boeing 777 was shot down over eastern ukraine last week. a train carrying most of the corpses arrived tuesday in a government-controlled part of ukraine, but the remains of as many as 100 of the 298 victims were not among them. >> what we are sure of are 200. there are more remains. the investigation will point out which remain

u.s. intelligence committee is willing to do with their surveillance opportunities, how cavalier about breaking the law. if they are willing to invade the communication of the senate which is investigating them. this is not just some sort of ablation. this is why secret surveillance is so dangerous because inevitably it gets abused in the most extreme ways possible. >> let's talk about america's

u.s. intelligence in iraq and now. this global caliphate that they claim the islamic state they are getting their marching orders their arms or weapons are u.s. weapons and it's the vehicle for destabilization destabilizing not only the arabic middle east and beyond but also europe. to open up the world of the country ready now to grant asylum to iraq e christians thousands of people from religious minorities in iraq have been forced to flee due to death threats from the islamic state extremist group christians in most school whose homes were mocked or forced to convert to islam pay a special protection tax iraq is home to one of the oldest christian communities in the world. and nigeria where boko haram a cross several towns have taken at least fifteen lives a suicide bomber blew herself up at a gas station in the town of kano and an out of state islam is to burn down a police station and a military camp. which seeks to establish an islamic state in nigeria has now killed more than two thousand civilians just this yea

u.s. intelligence officials now say. let's listen to the vice president. >> apparently had been shot down, shot down not an accident. blown out of the sky. we've seen reportsing that there may have been american citizens on board. and obviously, that's our first concern. we're now working of every minute to try to the confirm those reports as i speak. this is truly a grave situation. nearly 300 souls have been lost. the families need consolation. >> and let's be clear, vice president joe viden would not say the that there are reports of americans on board if it were not likely if not a certificatitude that there were americans on board. so now we have not just ukraine ian officials but the u.s. government saying this plane was shot down. the question who did it is up for debate. the ukrainian say it was a buk, be surface-to-air missile system. is that possible? tom foreman, how does this buk missile system work? could it hit a plane traveling 30,000 feet in the air, 500 miles an hour? >> let's bring in the map and talk a

u.s. mill traer and intelligence analysts scouring highly classified data from spy satellites, radars and e intercepts. they narrowed in on two pieces of critical information detected by u.s. satellite and radar feeds. first, a surface-to-air missile system had been turned on in a separate-controlled area in eastern ukraine. a moment later a u.s. satellite captured the heat signature of a midair explosion. >> we know that within hours of this event this particular system passed through two towns right in the vicinity of the shootdown. we know because we observed it by imagery that at the moment of the shootdown we detected a launch from that area and our trajectory shows that it went to the aircraft. >> reporter: the conclusion -- a russian-plied buk surface-to-air missile. the evidence, intercepts of separatist communications posted on youtube by the ukrainian government indicate that they were in the possession of an sa-11 system as early as monday, july 14th. the sa-11, the western name for the buk. u.s. intelligence matched those voices to other separatist recordings. the rebels claim

u.s. >> angry politicians from across the spectrum are demanding action now. >> the intelligence officer was asked to vacate the u.s. embassy and leave the country. it is a big step for germany which is increasingly fed up with washington's failure to cooperate in its probe into nsa spying. berlin has struck a new town with ministers in the chancellor's government using words like stupidity and ridiculous. angela merkel herself him and not usually one for strong statements, was quite clear. >> the way i see it, if you consider this with a healthy dose of common sense, it is a waste of energy to spy on one's allies. i think the important thing is to create trust between allies, especially in these confusing times. >> there has been continued silence from the u.s. and angered germany the most, especially amid allegations of double agents spying for washington. politicians from all sides are supporting the decision to expel the intelligence official. >> i think this is the correct reaction, considering we have been asking the americans may questions for more than year and haven't got any an

u.s. intelligence confirms it was a surface-to-air missile. there's been coordination between ukraine and the united states. petroshank, the new ukraine president, said immediately we welcome u.s. assistance and investigation to find out what happened. my guess is they are releasing this knowing the united states knows for sure this was done a separatists. >> the nsa, i'm sure, have intercepted conversations between moscow and the men on the ground about, what in the hell did you guys just do? you'll recall the way the u.s. is absolutely 100% sure that they had used weapons last summer, communications intercepted between moscow and damascus, again, what in the hell did you guys just do? so the united states knew probably within minutes of what really happened. my guess is there is a level of coordination. we are using the ukranian services and the ukranian government to leak things that we are not comfortable doing. >> the russian sides of these conversations is clearly, this is a real bad thing they've done. we may not necessarily see it, but

u.s. intelligence officials have released some new evidence.et's go to our pentagon correspondent barbara starr. she was at the briefing. what did you learn, barbara. >> wolf, if you think moscow is about to behave, think again. u.s. officials say the russians are still sending weapons and systems and vehicles across the border into ukraine, perhaps as many as 20 systems alone on today. with the remains of the victims on their way back to their loved ones, and the data recorders in the hands of investigators, the u.s. intelligence community is sharply focused on how the attack unfolded. there are some things they a they know. >> malaysian airlines flight 17 was downed by a missile that was fired from the ground. that missile was fired from a separatist-controlled area. >> what they say they don't know were russians directly involved. that is now the key question. cnn obtained this diagram put together by the u.s. intelligence community showing the trajectory of the attack after analyzing several pieces of data. u.s. intelligence picked up the m
