The eagle has landed. Whew. Boy. Captioning funded by cbs snooirks and welcome to the weekend. Im Anthony Mason along with vinita nair. Good morning. Good morning. A lot of breaking news as well. A downed flight killing all 298 on board. This morning there has been progress regarding the crime scene. There are reports that ukrainian officials and separatists have allowed a skur zone around the crash sight allowing them to recover bodies. Meanwhile president obama is blaming the prorussian separatists for shooting down the 777. Also new deadly fighting has been reported less than 60 miles from the crash site. We have a team of reporters covering the story but we begin where all eyes are focused at the crash site with Mark Phillips. Mark good morning. Reporter good morning. Well there may be some agreement to the access to the crash site, but today there was another ugly confrontation between inspectors trying to examine the wreckage and view the victims who are still there and the local militias who control the area. This is the second day in a row inspections have been tried. Now they are under way, we understand, but under strict supervision of the local militias. This is turning into a pattern. Two days since this plane was brought down, two days in which the remains of the victims have remain exposed and entangled in the wreckage. Two days from gathers evidence from the crash site to find out exactly how the plane was blown out of the sky and who killed these people. Volunteers have been searching for and marking where the victims remains are and the local rebel Authorities Say they are finally going to begin removing the bodies, but tragedy here has been followed by indignity. Not only is this a crash sight in a war zone this area is controlled by the separatist rebels of Eastern Ukraine and they dont seem to have the resources to cope with the disaster of this scale. Monitors from the oesc the European Security body, have arrived to begin a preliminary examination but theyre not crash experts and theyre not being given the promised access they required to make an assessment of whats needed. In fact, their first visit was cut short by an overzealous local commander who felt his authority was being undermined. Listen to me carefully, he says. I am not subordinate to the government in kiev. You are on the territory of the donesque peoples republic which is the name the rebels have given away to their breakaway region. Emergency workers who say they have been allowed to the crash site have covered 10 square miles and have found 186 bodies so far. One fell through the roof of a local farmers house. The sad site is the victims and the wreckage have become key for the rebels. Mark phillips in donesque, ukraine. Thanks, mark. While the fbi and crash experts are on their way to the scene, president obama says hes not waiting for an analysis. He said he already knows there was russian involvement. A fireball picked up by satellite is the first indication that it struck the airliner. It also detected part of the missiles strike path as it streaked toward the plane allowing an analyst to back track to the ground an area held by proseparatist rebels. They say its not something the rebels could have operated on their own. Mark allen is in our Washington Bureau with the latest. Mark, good morning. Good morning. The u. S. President says he does not know yet whether it was a deliberate act or it was a mistake, but the president said it is clear a surfacetoair missile hit the plane and it was fired from an area controlled by prorussian separatists, rebels backed, he said, by russia. Their deaths are an outrage of unspeakable proportions. Reporter president obama called the crash a global tragedy and urged all sides in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine to stand down. Russia prorussian separatists and ukraine must adhere to a ceasefire. Evidence must not be tampered with and a solemn task of removing the victims and returned them to their loved ones needs to go on immediately. No one can deny the trulkts that is reveal eded and the awful images that we can see. The eyes of the world are on Eastern Ukraine and were going to make sure that the truth is out. A moment of silence. Reporter the United NationsSecurity Council paused friday to remember the victims of Malaysia Airlines flight 17. U. N. Ambassador Samantha Power then called for action. A full credible and unimpeded investigation must begin immediately. The perpetrators must be brought to justice. They must not be sheltered by any member state of the united station. Reporter power said prorussian separatists would have needed help to operate the sophisticated surfacetoair Missile System to down the plane in rebel territory. Translator im talking about the u. S. Here. The Russian Ambassador responded by putting the blame on the United States accusing it of pushing ukraine to escalate the crisis. In his News Conference the president warned if they continue to provide equipment and training the u. S. Has the capacity to impose sanctions against russia and called the crash a wakeup to the world. The white house says both men want russia to call on the separatists to lay down their weapons to allow crash investigators safe access to the scene. Anthony . Mark albert in our Washington Bureau. Thank you, mark. Russia is now expression anger at implications it was to blame. Russia president Vladimir Putin says people should not rush to judgment. Clarissa ward is in moscow. Clarissa, good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, russian leaders here at the kremlin are being very cautious about how they frame this. Theyre trying to poke holes in the narrative of of the Ukrainian Government and the International Community but officially theyre saying they cant make any comment until an investigation has been carried out. As u. S. Officials pointed a finger at prorussian separatists and their sponsors in moscow president Vladimir Putin laid the blame elsewhere. This tragedy would not have happened, he said if the fighting had not restarted in the southeast ukraine. Russias Defense Ministry went further blaming the ukrainian mill tissue. It claimed that an antibuk missile like this one had been operated in the region though the russian stopped short to say there was any evidence that it fired it. Russian officials laid flowers outside of the tragedy. One of the military commanders of the separatist rebels in euro crane is a russian citizen. Earlier this week he took credit for allegedly shooting down a military aircraft. A recording released by the government caught another commander telling his men they had shot down a flame making it more difficult for moscow to avoid responsibility for the rebels actions. It will be very interesting to see now how the kremlin tries to define their relationship with the rebels. Will they quietly try to disassociate themselves with them or will they in fact, double down and throw their support behind them. Vinita . Clarissa ward in moscow. Thank you. Were joined by cbs contributor and former Deputy Director of the cia mike morell. Good to have you here. Good to be here. Are we going to actually be able to discern that . I think theres two Different Levels of complicity here. One is were already here. Which is putin created these separatists, he encouraged them, he funded them hes equipped them, he has set this beast, so in a sense hes responsible for what theyve done. Thats one level of complicity. Theres a whole other level of complicity which is did the russians provide this particular weapons system to the separatists. Did they train them over the last several months how to use it and were there Russian Special forces there with the separatists when they fired the missile. We may never know that. We may learn it through intelligence. It may come soon. It may take a while. The Geopolitical Impact is really fascinating. You hear the president say you never stopped the violence that led to this. You heard Hillary Clinton say putin, youve simply gone too far. Could the damage be to the west that theyre going to toughen the sanctions and help ukraine . I think theres going to be tremendous pressure on the United States and western europe to toughen up the sanction and provide support to the ukraineian government. At the same time putins reputation has never been higher. One is when they blame us for this its not just rhetoric. The hardliners in moscow actually believe were responsible for this that were responsible for the original revolution in ukraine that started this whole process and that were responsible for encouraging the russian government go after the separatists. They really believe that. They blame us. The other thing to think about here, theres a minority of russians who believe putin is taking their country in the wrong direction. Theyve been largely quiet. Will this lead them to speak up . Do you think is a turning point in the countrys conflict . I think so. I think so. If you look back at the downing of a southeastern airliner it was a turning point during the cold war. Thank you so much. Thank you. The 298 victims came from 11 countries.
