He also is sending forensic investigators to the site to try to piece together exactly what happened when the plane was shot down a week ago, killing all 298 people on board. U.S. officials said the Boeing 777 was probably shot down by a missile from territory held by pro-Russian rebels, likely by accident. Rutte said the military police will help the investigators.

"I don't care if it's legal," Obama declared.
"It's wrong." Obama and congressional Democrats are pushing to severely limit such deals, a move resisted by Republicans who argue the entire corporate tax code needs an overhaul. At issue are companies that entering into arrangements with foreign companies, shifting their tax addresses overseas while retaining their U.S. headquarters. "They're technically renouncing their U.S. citizenship.
They're declaring they are based someplace else even though most of their operations are here," Obama said at a technical college in Los Angeles. "You know some people are calling these companies corporate deserters." He also charged that such companies are "cherry-picking the rules." Though Obama included a proposal to rein in such mergers and acquisitions in his 2015 budget, his speech marked a new, more aggressive focus on the subject. The push came amid a developing trend by companies to reorganize with foreign entities through deals called "inversions" partly to reduce their tax payments in the U.S. It also came ahead of the fall political campaign as Democrats seek to draw sharp contrasts with Republicans by portraying them as defenders of corporate loopholes. U.S.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and others have been drawing praise from liberal arms of the Democratic Party for their overtly populist The growth of inversions OBITUARIES has also concerned Republicans, but by and large they have called for a broader tax overhaul that would reduce corporate rates. A total of 47 U.S.-based companies have merged with or acquired foreign businesses over the past decade in inversions, according to the Congressional Research Service. The issue gained attention earlier this year when Pfizer made an unsuccessful attempt to take over British drugmaker AstraZeneca. The deal would have allowed Pfizer to incorporate in Britain and thus limit its exposure to higher U.S.

5 4 TO 08 ST. LOUIS Evidence builds against lethal injection The nation's third botched execution in six months offers more evidence for the courts that lethal injection carries too many risks and amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, death-row lawyers and other opponents said Thursday. Death-penalty opponents said an Arizona inmate who gasped for breath for more than 90 minutes showed that executions using different drugs and dosages are a callous trial-and-error process. The result: Every few months, a prisoner gasps, chokes and takes an unusually long time to die. "These executions are experiments on human subjects," said Cheryl Pilate, an attorney for several Missouri deathrow inmates.

The U.N. said the strike occurred as staff members were trying to arrange a humanitarian pause in the hostilities so they could evacuate the civilians from the compound in the northern town of Beit Hanoun. The Israeli military said it was reviewing the incident and suggested Hamas rockets may have been to blame, although it offered no proof.
Kamel al-Kafarne, who was in the school, said that the U.N. was putting people on buses when three tank shells hit. "We were about to get out of the school, then they hit the school. They kept on shelling it," he said. Books, blankets, cushions and other belongings were scattered about the courtyard in the aftermath of the explosion.
There was a large scorch mark in the courtyard marking the apparent site of impact.
