The BBC has censored out a report by its BBC Russian correspondent Olga Ivshina recording eyewitnesses to Ukrainian jet shooting down MH17.
Thus, RT report: “BBC Russian has come under fire from internet users after deleting its report on the MH17 crash for not meeting ‘editorial values.’ The reporter questioned says that local militia fired the missile, with locals talking about Ukrainian army planes. The report on the Malaysian plane tragedy by BBC Russian correspondent Olga Ivshina was released on July 23. She interviewed local witnesses who told her that they saw military aircraft in the sky before the incident. “And there was another aircraft, a military one, beside it [the Malaysian plane]. Everybody saw it,” said one witness. “It was flying under it [the Malaysian plane], we could see it. It was going underneath the civilian one,” added another…” (see “Censorship or error? Internet criticism for BBC removal of MH17 report”, RT, 25 July 2014: http://rt.com/news/175476-bbc-deleted-report-mh17/ ).
Global Research News: “The original BBC Video Report was published by BBC Russian Service on July 23, 2014. In a bitter irony, The BBC is censoring its own news productions. Why did BBC delete this report by Olga Ivshina? Is it because the BBC team was unable to find any evidence that a rocket was launched in the area that the Ukrainian Security Service (“SBU”) alleges to be the place from which the Novorossiya Militia launched a “BUK” missile? Or is it because every eyewitness interviewed by the BBC team specifically indicated the presence of a Ukrainian military aircraft right beside the Malaysian Airlines Boeing MH17 at the time that it was shot down? Or is it because of eyewitness accounts confirming that the Ukrainian air force regularly used civilian aircraft flying over Novorossiya as human shields to protect its military aircraft conducting strikes against the civilian population from the Militia’s anti-aircraft units? Highlights of Witness statements (see complete transcript below)… (see “Deleted BBC Report. “Ukrainian fighter jet shot down MH17, Donetsk eyewitnesses”, Global Research, 27 July 2014: http://www.globalresearch.ca/deleted-bbc-report-ukrainian-fighter-jet-shot-down-mhi7-donetsk-eyewitnesses/5393631 ).
The BBC has also censored later independent expert reports citing (a) wreckage evidence for jet fighter machine gun bullet holes in the fuselage of MH17, (b) evidence for Ukrainian jets shadowing MH17 at the time and (c) Ukrainian Government refusal to hand over key control tower data (in addition to preventing recovery of the wreckage through military advances.
Thus, New Straits Times (Kuala Lumpur: “Intelligence analysts in the United States had already concluded that Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by an air-to-air missile, and that the Ukrainian government had had something to do with it. This corroborates an emerging theory postulated by local investigators that the Boeing 777-200 was crippled by an air-to-air missile and finished off with cannon fire from a fighter that had been shadowing it as it plummeted to earth. In a damning report dated Aug 3, headlined “Flight 17 Shoot-Down Scenario Shifts” in Global Research , Associated Press reporter Robert Parry said “some US intelligence sources had concluded that the rebels and Russia were likely not at fault and that it appears Ukrainian government forces were to blame” (see Haris Hussain, “US experts conclude MH17 down by [Ukrainian] aircraft”” New Straits Times, 7 August 2014 : http://www.nst.com.my/node/20925 ).
According to Global Research: “The Malaysian Boeing plane that crashed in eastern Ukraine in mid-July, could have been brought down by an air-to-air missile and a cannon of the Su-25 fighter that had been “shadowing it,” The New Straits Times reported on Wednesday citing experts. Experts believe that MH17 flight was shot down by an air-to-air missile fired from the fighter that later finished it off with a burst of 30mm cannon fire, the newspaper has reported. According to the experts, if this hypothesis is true, it would explain the bullet holes in some sections of MH17’s fuselage.” (see Ria Novosti, “MH17 brought down by air-to-air missile, finished off with 30 mm cannon, experts allege”, Global Research, 7 August 2014: http://www.globalresearch.ca/mh17-brought-down-by-air-to-air-missile-finished-off-by-30-mm-cannon-experts-allege/5395127 ).
Instead the US lackey BBC presstitutes report the lying US line: “What caused the crash? Western nations have said there is growing evidence that the plane was hit by a Russian-supplied missile fired by rebels. Russia has blamed Ukrainian government forces. US officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have said there is a "solid case" that a SA-11 missile - also known as Buk - was fired from eastern Ukraine under "conditions the Russians helped create" (BBC, “MH17 plane crash in Ukraine: What we know”, 25 July 2014: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28357880 ).
