reported in gaza since the fighting broke out. israel was hit by 500 missiles, none has resulted in death. nick schifrin joins us live from gaza this morning. are people there heading the call to leave, and quite frankly, where are they going? >> yes, good morning, they are heeding the call to leave, because, well they are scared to death to stay where they are. the israeli army has told everyone in northern gaza that a huge bombardment would begin about now or in the past hour. they have not necessarily seep it yet. a lot of people are coming here towards gaza city. we have seen them arriving in u.n. schools, trying to figure out what to do next. given the fact that they are not sure what they'll come back to. israel is clear that it will not tolerate rocket launches in

northern gaza, and that is where rockets last night were fired at tel aviv. what the israeli military did last night was send in a small group of special forces to take a little area where the rocket launchers where. they had firing with the fighters and this morning israel promising or vowing to escalate it further. speaking of the escalation, previous battles between israel and hamas led to a ceasefire. is there a likelihood that this could happen again? >> i don't think anyone on whether israeli or palestinian or anywhere, frankly, thinks that there's a military end to the conflict that israel can erase hamas from the grip or vice versa. no one thinks that. yes, fg, at some point there has to be a ceasefire. the question is when and what conditions are the last

ceasefire that was held here for the last year and a half for the recent fighting suggested there was an understanding between hamas and israel so long as an aigsal rocket would fall in by open fields. it was a training ground, but that is what got broken basically and that's what escalated. clearly the u.s. tried to move to a ceasefire, the u.n. security council moving to a ceasefire, it doesn't seem like israel or hamas is moving that way. >> do you think israel for hamas will respond. do you think international pressure could affect the possibility of the ceasefire. of course. eventually it is clear. it will not end this particular

campaign, this operation until hamas and allies stop being able to fire rockets into israel. it is a high bar. it's not clear if israel is capable of doing that or willing to go that. certainly what they are saying is that they are willing to have some kind of small ground invasion or the incursion - basically that's what it was, do that again to take away the capacity. there will be pressure, a ceasefire. the question is how much violence will there be until then. >> nick schifrin joining us live from gaza. thank you for being with us. the u.n. security council is calling for a ceasefire in the israeli palestinian conflict. the current president of the council is speaking out against the escalating violence. >> the security council members expressed concern regarding the crisis and the protection and welfare of civilians on both

good morning to you. welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm morgan radford live in new york city. a break through in the fight for alzhiemer's. doctors have developed a blood test as to who is more vulnerable. why this test may be a game changer. >> reporter: some would say derek is a lucky one. he was starting to forget things, and he knew why. that brought him time. >> i thought i have gone the same as my mum. i have this. >> derek's wife began to fight for drugs. that early diagnosis was crucial, leading to vital treatment. >> i have done - i think i have done pretty well for six years. it slows it down. at times we will argue he was with us, and you can take part in a lot of things, which have very nice. i seep some of them and now they

are in homes and it's so sad. as with many illnesses there is no cure for alzhiemer's, the dim ep she slowing it down. they have been struggling because symptoms can take a decade to appear after the disease kicks in, too late. which is why an announcement out of london, a crucial result about a test is giving home. this research has tape a decade to get to this point. it concentrated on 10 proteins. it can predict whether alzhiemer's will come. and it is 87% accurate. it could be on sale within two years between $50 and $200. that depends on one crucial element. scientists need more volunteers. more people to be tested and

face being told they will develop an inyourable disease. some would like to know and help. if there is no therapy, why would i want to know. we won't be able to do the work if we don't have the samples for the people that volunteered. >> reporter: for derek and yvonne diagnosis has given them more years together. he insults her. she's thankful he still can. so joining us to discuss this test, which can reportedly detect the onset of alzhiemer's, is dr debbie. drb debbie, thank you for being here. who should get the test. >> people who are interested in participating in research,

scientists can volunteer. i don't think it's for everyone. it is very promising, but the 87% number, it's a little low for the accurate diagnosis for alzhiemer's, and to give more background. when you get a test done like this, for a deadly disease, and an important position, you want the test to do two things. it has to test positive to people who have the disease and negative in those that don't. it sounds straightforward, but it's complicated. if you think of someone that has alzhiemer's, someone with a negative test. they are not getting the standard treatment. they are spending time. if the test - if it tests positive in someone that doesn't have alzhiemer's. you have someone who is healthy. or... >> that is uncomfortable. >> yes. or they don't have it or another type of dementia that can be

treated. 87%, if you think about it. more than one out of the 10 people is getting a wrong diagnosis. it is promising. after a deb aid. it's exciting to be this close. exciting to find a blood test offered to people. it's not there yet. there's too many people that would have potentially a wrong diagnosis. >> if you have sufficient of alzheimer's, it may help you to cement that. you want to get the other test to make sure you don't have something else. people can look like they have alzhiemer's, when they may have thyroid or other adnormality. sometimes people may have problem with their memory or look disoriented. it's important to look at the spectrum and get standard testing. given the reservations, what

would you say to people who look. do you think they should try to test. >> getting the test will not necessarily change what is happening. we don't have a cure. there are treatments that can help with symptoms. they can get the treatments without having the diagnosis. i won't push anyone to get the test. it's important they understand what the implications are. >> it's still a game changer for those that do want to do it. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> fashion model alec is considered one of the most beautiful people, gracing the covers of "elle", and "glamour", and "cosmopolitan", she rose

behind and they have to leave the homes behind. if a ceasefire comes into effect, there is a wider conflict that needs to be solved. the solution need to be sold. otherwise they'll see scenes like this again and again. >> you mentioned the wider conflict. there are reports of ground troops in gaza today. could that be a sign of escalation and does it have people worried. >> that was an operation overnight where we are told the commandos tried to approach the shore of gaza, there was a fire fight. we heard it. it was around 2 o'clock in the morning. machine-gun fire, artillery fire. they managed they had a suck assistful operation. missile areas, hamas said that they managed to repel them.

a flashpoint in syria's conflict. for more than so months the government used the barrel bomb as a weapon of choice against rebel fighters. human rights watch says the bombs are wildly inaccurate with little chance of ever hitting the target, but they hit and killed hundreds of civilians, and continued to fall during the month of ramadan. >> ramadan's days are full of blessings. our lives are getting difficult. the people of aleppo are holding their ground. these young children will grow up and continue the struggle. despite the hardship many muslims in aleppo say they'll observe ramadan. af a day without food and water, the faithful break the fast. the city's marketplace has some produce for those that cap afford it.

we are dealing with advisories. fire weather watch is in place. that will last through the early part of monday because we are not expecting to bring relief. as far as coastal areas, we'll get an onshore flow, bringing release to the coastline. inland textures will be above average. now, as far as that frontal boundary that brought the weather to illinois, it will shift further south and eastward. from parts of the interior to the mid west. that's where we are watching. that will stretch a little further east. back to you. thank you so much. >> thank you so much.

confidence is high. an emotional happy hoping that we would emerge as champions after so many years. we have great expectation that we will beat the germans, i have a big friend. leaving there in germany, and i know this time is for us. we will beat you. >> the argentinian fans have a tense and nervous passage to the final. this was one of tens of thousands who followed the team to brazil. >> we have a strong side when you look at each player. we have lionel messi, which to me, and to many is the best player in the world. granted the germans have a solid team. it will not be the first time we are the underdog and come out winners. >> the passion for football is among the most fer vant. it bind together immigrants

after railway workers introduced it at the end of the 19th century. >> you need to go back to the place football has in the arnal tinnian life -- argentinian lifestyle. it's a key component of our d.n.a. these are troubled time in argentina. the economy is in recession. inflation is rampant and the vice president charged with corruption. for now, all eyes are on brazil. argentina is about more than football. football defines, to a large degree, the country. winning the world cup will not solve the problems, but it will make it easier to bear. so talk about bittersweet. argentina - is it going to take down germany, will they celebrate in the arch rivals

backyard. brazil lost the battle for third place against the netherlands. it was not even close. >> the world cup is more than that. football fashion taking the world by storm. look at the newest and hottest glitz and gam our. >> the whole concept of single use plastic bags is ludicrous. >> banning the bags. a mountain of trash. a man with a kayak in his quest to change the system. definitely not the runways. the close call that could have ended in tragedy.

bring their own reusable shopping bags with them. according to the earth policy institute. 170 cities and counties in the u.s. have laws banning or curtailing the use of plastic bags. in florida, home to world famous beaches, a state law prohibits cities from passing laws restricting or banning plastic bags. florida state senator dwight bullard has been trying to change it for the last three years. >> it seems like a no-brainer. the obstruction is what the surprise was. bullard said elementary schoolkids in his district inspired the bill. learning that plastic bags are not biodegradeable and can kill marine life, they wrote to city officials calling for a ban. but the florida legislature is not bundling. this spring testified against amendments to it. >> we are trying to send a

message to attract manufacturers to the state of florida. >> when it comes to keeping plastic bags out of the waterways, the florida department of environmental protection said that outright bans produce the fastest results. >> what i'm trying to do is make sure that the beaches, the streams, the refers in the state are around for gerpations to come. >> in the meantime volunteers will battle with an attitude that no law can eliminate. people using the ocean as their garbage can. >> according to the united nations, damage to our oceans by plastic trash totals $13 billion each year. >> quite the surprise for a good samar tan who stopped to help a driver in new mexico. he popped the hood of the car to see what was wrong and found that, a 6.5 foot python. it was wrapped around the engine, and a police officer pulled the sltherring 20-pound

reptile out of the car. it's been taken to an animal shelter with a slight damage from the tail, likely coming from the engine. >> the games were not the only reason to watch the world cup. how about the glamour and the fashion. we look at soccer players setting a friend. >> goes whose accompanied the world's highest paid model on the cover of "vogue," football star neymar junior. when it comes to setting trends in men's hair fashion, hollywood stars are offside. outscored by footballers. here the most popular cut is that of portugal ronaldo. >> without a doubt, the football look is the way to go. the board and the hair cut. in this upscale salon, another client is getting the neymar cut. the name neymar is an idol of

the people. the cool hair is in fashion. i want to try to copy it. also in vogue are exotic styles of european, american and afghan particulars. the east germans wept for the look, mow heek jp, all the rage in europe. women too are in the world cup fashion spirit. from head to nails. you need a good pulse to paint the brazil yap flag here. i can't resist getting into the world cup mood myself. i decided to chos a more -- choose a more neutral model. >> fans spent time and money decorating themselves for that are team. the world cup works of art do not last. the question is how long will these. coming up next - republicans calling for a lawsuit against president obama.

house. thursday, while fund raiding in texas, the president responded to the law sue. >> you hear something. you sue them, impeach them. really? really? [ cheering and applause ] . >> for what? you're going to sue me for doing my job. well, that lawsuit brought on by house speaker john boehner is first up in the weekend politics segment. joining us is tara, a democratic strategist and former aid to jim mcgreevey and o'brien murray, a republican manager and campaign manager for bob turner. thank you for joining us. doupt sound like the -- doesn't sound like the president is taking the lawsuit previously. the house of republicans have tried 50 times to repeal the law.

>> this president doesn't take anything seriously. let's think about this. a piece was written talking about his presence checking out. he's moved on, he realises he'll lose the senate. the only thing he accomplished is obamacare. he had a majority in the house, which he lost a year later. didn't make it 12 months. >> just a lame duck sitting. >> he's a lame tuck. >> tara? >> shockingly i disagree. you must be shocked. the president got a lot done. he had osama bin laden. many terrorists who attacked the country are now no longer a problem for the country and for people. i think the president has accomplished a lot. i can go on and on boods the health care -- besides the health care reform. the rate is at its lowest since gallop started polling. to say that obamacare is not a

big deal is misleading. saying it's a waste of time and money at a time when we have serious problems facing the country, the republicans are being unserious about this. >> what the the roll out of the health care. >> let go to that. >> from the big cornerstone accomplish. what about the roll out. >> the roll out was obviously problematic on a number of levels. the good news is that people are actually insured. emergency room visits are down and it's not talked about. people going to emergency is a big cost. it's a cost for hospitals, a cost for the people. bankruptcy - 60% in the country are from a medical bill. >> let's talk numbers. my insurance wept up $150 one time, once obamacare kicked in. i had no insurance. >> you are one person. >> yes, but it wept up $150. >> it's not the case for a lot

of person. you can't take one example and say it's indicative. >> i had a rate saying my rates would go up 18%. the average increase next year is 15%. >> premiums have been going up forever. >> that's five times the cost of inflation. >> some people's rates have gone up because the coverage is better. a lot of people file for bankruptcy for electricity bills, they had insurance. >> i had insurance. i had insurance, and my costs have gone up. >> your value date toilet. >> additionally... >> you're one person. >> when i get a bill from the doctor for $250, and they pay $106 and i pay the rest of that, it's not towards by deductible. it's not 2400, it's 2500. it's a flaw.

it's a now of an employee mandate. that's why the court case is going on. >> problem or not, sounds like this is something that will be a big deal. >> tell the americans when they get their bills tell americans that this works and they'll tell you no. i'm on the campaign trial with candidates. >> i want to talk about that. ism they complain about this on the road. >> you campaign in republican distribute. >> absolutely not. >> rub cab district. >> they complain about everything the resident does. >> it transmissions into the 2016 presidential election. >> they'd complain about the sup coming up. >> i talk about this every day. >> thursday, speaking of the republicans and the 2016 campaign run, mitt romney showed the poll destroying the field. let's bring up the numbers. including besting governor

christy and jed bush. would you agree coming first in a poll when you are undeclared is different to running for president? >> it is. but no one that is declird. it shows you how deep the bench of the republican is. >> ted crews's name will be in there. there's a number of names out there. when you look at who we have, we have a terrific candidate. >> does any of this surprise you gip the former governor's relationship with new hampshire? >> he's from the state next door. i think the bigger issue is it shows a republican for the republican party. a guy that doesn't want to run, who lost in 2012 is the front runner, that is problematic for the people that do want to run. look at the numbers. that is a huge gap between him and some of the other candidates that we expect to run. >> don't forget in new hampshire

they don't vote for you. until the candidates go up and shake hands, the democrats have a big problem. hillary clinton is not going to run. i said it repeatedly. last week the "new york post" had a great post. he's backing senator warren. it will be a major problem. >> do you think clinton is a problem. >> we don't know what hillary clinton will do. indications is that she will run. she's in a phenomenal position. every poll shows a lot of support, people waiting for her. waiting for office. i think if she doesn't run, there's a lot of candidates who would be great candidates. election warren is a recurrent name. she said "i'm not running." she said that plainly. >> if hillary clinton run, i'd

by surprised if elizabeth warren would run. it would be great if she run. we need people to represent the working poor people. that are working or some not working. >> your leader of the blovt. bill de blasio is going to italy. >> what is wrong with that? >> for in my opinion days for italy when you are talking about 1%. >> what's wrong with vacation? people should be able to go on vacation. >> he's out of touch. >> this is the problem the republicans have, you can't make ridiculous attacks people want to talk about important issues. what is going on at the border. >> when is the republican going to sign off on the funding. one of the issues is the working class and a city with a lot of working class people is

cleveland. the republican party is having a convention there. is it a good move. >> what they are doing is moving the convention date up. they are moving it into cleveland, moving it up early. >> this is - is this a smart move? >> it's the state of ohio that counts. there'll be great inroads made by the republican party. it's a terrific move. an early convention will give us a leg up. it will not be hillary clinton. they have a flawed policy. >> do you think voters will be pe swayeded -- persuaded away from the republican party. >> not in cleveland. we have people working and making less. in the last 35 years, the average c.e.o. compensation went up 875%. >> in the last 35 years. in the last 35 years, the average worker wept up 5%.

people are feeling it in cities. the republicans don't want to do anything to address it. the democrats have part of the address to address it. >> what is it. >> they want to increase the minimum wam, that's part of it. more needs to happen, let's start there. >> where do you say, o'brien. >> it's amazing you say the president wants to talk about money, when he passed on the bill to obamacare, he increased spending by $20 trillion. let me finish. >> no, earlier the figures that you made about the health care reform. >> this president can't budget. >> the president doesn't have to budget. it goes to congress. >> he doesn't give a balance that balances. >> he has a spenting problem. >> we need infrastructure spending. >> executive branches cannot. >> this president has one way of

doing business, it's do to my way or i'll take it by executive order. >> it's not trup. >> why not? >> the republicans supported infrastructure spending. they don't support it. the chamber of commerce said it's a no-brainer, do you know why they don't support it, because the president does. they will not support anything that the president want to do. it's dangerous. >> do you think that's equally disruptive? >> the fact that the president wants to force-feed for walk away. >> is it the president or is the gridlock coming from congress. >> the president is so flawed. >> why do you not support it? >> he goes to colorado, and a u.s. swoirnt go with him. >> distraction. >> it's a fact. >> let's talk about... let's turn the corner here. >> democrats will agree with me. >> policy. >> we'll talk about immigration. >> policy.

>> the president would not go for a photo op at the border, but did go to play pool. what do you think of that? >> that's what i'm saying. >> is it oo good move or not. >> no. there are democrats that disagree with him. they say he should have gone to the border. the children should have been returned to the children. his plan is to drag the process, keeping them away from the parents. >> do you agree with that? >> no, he requested $3.7 billion, laying out specifically what the request is for. you can tinned it online. it is to return people humanely. it's a hup jan tarian cries assist. >> it's divisive. we are out of time because we have to move on to talk about immigration. i wonder if you guys will come back. >> any time. >> thank you for joining us. >> president obama asking for $4

billion to deal with immigration that tara and o'brip were talking about, unfolding on the border. the issue dividing the nation along fine leaps. we ask former attorney-general alberto gonzalez if the president's plan will work.

america mobile app, available for your apple and android mobile device. download it now >> well, you are getting a live look this sunday morning in new york harbour. that is from the statue of liberty cam. you are checking out lower estelle romaine manville and one world trade -- manhattan and one world trade center. >> americans are divided over what to do with the surge in undocumented immigrant children. the division is clear in california. residents of the murrieta stopped the government from housing detainees, the city welcomed them with open arms. london has the tale of two

cities. >> in the city of murrieta, california... ..150 miles away in a seaside down... ..one immigration crisis, two clashing reactions. in the last week people in murrieta repeatedly stopped bus loads of undocumented migrants from coming to this border patrol station for processing. it's a win to murrieta, if they can keep them from coming here. i don't think it was that big of an up to that they can afford to support the immigrants. >> reporter: murrieta's mayor is proud his city said no ism we are protesting because it's ipp human treatment and don't release them into the choupy who have not had a proper health

screening for background check. it's unfortunate we are not seeing these rehabilitations in other -- reactions in other cities refusing the immigrants on buses. in this port, when hundreds were brought here, no signs of protest, just signs of support. >> we are a welcoming community. >> luca helped to organise a rally outside the base. >> we have seen so much negative anti-immigrant settlements in murrieta, and thought it was important for our community to stopped up and show support for children that came a long way. >> reporter: this converted classroom represents the support. a soccer ball, a pair of shoes - items that have been donated. in this bag there's clothes for children, a pair of jeeps for a little -- jeeps for a little girl. you see items that the kids need. you see items that have been donated that left the kids be

kids. there are no answers for why the two cities reacted differently. consider the make-up. murrieta is conservative with a latino population 26%. by comparison. latinos make up half of the port's population. >> to this area has a long history of immigrants rights, act veries. >> back in murrieta, there are some who are speaking out in support of the migrants, but harry says this is not about people. it's about policy. >> transporting them around the country in holding areas, and then releasing to the public does not address the problem. it encourages and exacerbates the situation. into two cities, two opposing view points, waiting for washington to find a solution as the immigration crisis hits home. and joining us for or weekend conversation is alberto

gonzalez former u.s. attorney-general under george bush. thank you so much for being with us. first off... >> good morning. >> good morning to you. president obama asked congress for some $4 billion to deal with what he is calling a humanitarian crisis. is he doing the right thing is this. >> it's a humanitarian crisis and solving the issue will require tax dollars from the u.s. government and american people. there are many causes, and it is a humanitarian crisis. think about being a parent. what would you do. there's understanding about people wanting to protect their children. there's a 2008 anti-trafficking act, creating a lair of

bureaucracy and due process making it difficult to deal with. we have the perception around the world certainly, certainly in central america and mexico that the united states is not like in the past. i think that's contributed, it's encouraged people to come into the country. and the last challenge that we have is we have an overworked system. over burdened, some are waiting two years for a handwriting. it's complicated, and one of the things that we need is to take additional dollars. it's not going to solve the problem. we need a comprehensive plan and i've abrogated for a comprehensive propose am, passed by congress and signed by the president. >> i want to go back to the law you mentioned in 2008. politicians want to reform the law, signed by president bush to

protect victims of human trafficking. that allows many of the migrants to stay in the country. the law excludes immigrants coming. looking back on the law. do you think it should be changed. >> i believe it should be changed but i don't think that alone will solve the problem. conditions in central america and mexico will be problematic. people will continue to send their children to the united states if they believe there's a possibility that the child will enjoy a better life. so, you know, we need to be humane about this. the notion that we are going to round up the children and put them on a because and release them, to me, is anti-american. we need to ensure that they are safe. that they are treated humanely, well fed and cared for.

if we don't, we need to control the borders. we don't have the resources to take care of american children. this is a very serious issue and complicated issue. i worry about the fact that it is politicized. it will require the cooperation for republicans to deal with this in an effective way. >> let's go back to jay johnson, in guatemala meeting with officials on the issue much let's listen to what he had to say. >> we are adding resources to bring criminal prosecution to the smuggling organization, the coy oaties. we hope to do that in the united states and in partnership with the governments of mexico and here in central america. >> mr gonzalez, who do you prosecute in this case - the

immigrants or the coyotes. >> we. that's part of the problem that we have here. in order to be successful in a meaningful prosecution, it will require the cooperation of mexican authorities and in guatemala and other central american countries. it's very much a long-term process in terms of putting together the reforms necessary to make this happen, and the infrastructure to make it successful. short term, moneys to beef up the infrastructure, and we need to do more putting out a clear message. we are a sympathetic nation and a nation of laws. it has got to be in a controlled manner, and that is not what is occurring. you mentioned the role in all of

this. they spoke via phone a few weeks agoment earlier this year, washington was slammed for a lack of conships. that is something mentioned. the reality is back in 2013, 37% came from guatemala, 30 were honduras, and 26% from el salvador. they had to go through mexico. what is their hand. are they doing enough to stop the flow of migrants on their side? >> i don't believe they are. i think mexico can do more. use more of its resources. i think the united states can provide intelligence and assets helping mexico deal with the problem. >> you're talking about long-term solution to this problem. if there are things we can do to encourage mexico to be more

forceful, coming up through mexico into the yates. >> finally, given the uproar we have seen in places music murrieta, california over the issue, do you believe america has lost her soul. is it not what america is about any more? >> it is. but you have to understand that the tired masses. they come through where it's controlled. we understand who is coming in, there's documentation, and so we are a nation of imdeprants. we are a -- immigrants. we are great. it has been, historically been in a manner controlled and consistent with the recall of law. that's the way it should continue. >> former attorney-general of the united states, and dean of belmont law school joining us from nash well. thank you so much for being with us. >> good to be with you.
