america, live from new york and i, with a look at today's top stories. the cease fire was over, before it even started. israel and hamas ramping up attacks and diplomatic efforts to end the conflict fall short. a prize winning journalist finds himself in the middle of the border controversial. >> and a fight in washington over keeping america's roads and bridges from falling apart.

just after the plan was announced. israel accept add proposal with conditions. but it resumes air strikes after hamas' military wing rejected the plan and fires dozens into israel. the israeli army says la mas. rocket strike killed once one with civilian. the first person to kie on israel's side since the most recent conflict started. an official with with hamas' military told al jazeera the group was with not consulted about the proposal. nick chef ron is in gaza, when we talk about the cease fire, but as far as the action is concerned we heard some heavy firing during the day, from your vantage point, what sit like? >> it is hike a front row seat to the fighting continuing. the last five minutes or

so we have seen at least six rockets leave just this neighborhood right question hind me, go into israel, then we have seen lights of the iron dome, that's the anti-missle defense system. light up the sky, trying to sent those rockets and then right before that, we heard the loud boom of an f 16, dropping a two or 300-pound bomb on a neighborhood acouple of miles north of here, we could see that explosion, it is too dark right now. it is competely empty, simply nobody out, they don't feel safe to be out. sinks israel resumed the bombing campaign, a lot of residents are simply fearful of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. and so tonight, they are continuing cheer hi the rockets flying into israel, and the strikes from israel coming in. not living up to the

proposed cease fire, maybe people you have talked to, do you get the sense they can get these started again and get some type of agreement here? >> well, i think it might seem like there's no chance for a crease fair, because of that f 16 flying behind. because of those rocketing flying from gaza, because of the rhetoric from both sides. you get net tin yahoo saying her going to pay a heavy price. you talk to u.s. official whose are very knowledgeable, and may say look, they are talking through their firing. those are the people that will decide whether hamas will consider this cease fire, all we have heard from is the military wing, and the leadership will be the last deciders whether they enter into that, so no, the cease

fire is not dead, but clearly the fighting will increase. >> on the heels of your comment, saying that hamas will pay dearly, i wonder about the israeli citizen, who was the first fatality on the israel side of this conflict? how do you think that will effect israel's air strikes on gaza? do you think that will lead to an even rached up onslaught? >> . >> well, what is clearly happening in southern israel on the border here, is a pressure on the israeli government to increase their attacks to once and for all in the words of one resident that we with spoke to today eliminate hamas and other abilities to fire any rockets. so there's that pressure, and that pressure bills. that's the main crossing between gaza and israel. he was there according to israeli police to help volunteers. deliver food, that kind of thing. and he was struck by a mortar.

so that kind of event will pressure the government. 194 people have died here, over 1,000 have been wounded by the kinds of strikes that we with saw. and a lot of grass zahns do not want hamas to accept this. they want them to fight, for weeks, months, years, so pressure on both sides is building not to accept the cease fire, but not clear whether the leadership will go with with what the public wants. >> or if the leadership can even agree.

israel responded with a barrage of air strikes. >> well, in the last 20 minutes or so, there's been a lot of rocket activity coming out from the back towards israel. just in the last two minutes. one went up and seems to no go anywhere. so it is a message from the factions here, that they never took this cease fire seriously. because they say they weren't consulted about it. i think that's rockets over our heads. they are pretty loud. >> so i think that's air strikes actually. we can't -- >> stephanie -- are you okay? do you want to take cover? >> we are okay.

this is kuwait common. but they are making a point, and we have to say it's been quite a lot of rockets we have seen coming out here. so there is a feeling here that israel will be responding quite harshly to this this evening and now. al jazeera spoke with a spokes person proposal hamas. we asked why may refused to stop the rocket attacks. >> this question may be legitimate if hamas started the attack against israelis. but the fact that they started that attack against hamas and the palestinians and hamas is defending it's own people. so the question must be for the israelis, what you get from bombing and killing the palestinians, what do you get from destroying the peace process. what do you get for destroying the solution. this is supposed to be a big question.

now if you say that, do i attack the palestinians no one will question them, they have no right to protect themselves or to defend themselves. and they are questioned why they are doing that. >> well, the failure of the cease fire could push tensions in the region even higher. al jazeera has more from jerusalem. following the death of an israeli civilian, between gaza and israel, we with have been hearing statements from israeli officials that could indicate that things may be moving towards further escalation. according to media effort rocket activities the prime minister said that hamas is going to pay the price for deciding to continue with the escalation. and that israel would continue to strike until it is able to bring quiet to israeli civilians.

who said that israel is determined to continue the action, and that it would never compromise when it comes to the security. whether a government official was with quoted as saying the attacks on innocent civilians in israel, are completely unacceptable, and that israel is entitled to taking the necessary actions in order to ensure the safety and the security of it's civilians. now these statements give the israeli government a sense of legitimacy in order to widen it's current military operation and intensify it. >> reporting from jerusalem, let's take a updated look at this conflict in terms of numbers. now, israel has launched nearly 1700 air strikes. those strikes have killed at least 194 people and

wounded nearly 1500 more. on the israeli side, israel says one person was with killed in hamas rocket strike at the border crossing into gaza, at least 26 israelis though have been injured. israeli army says hamas has fired more than 1200 rockets since last tuesday. the iron dome has intercepted just over 200 of them. the conflict has forced thousands of palestinians to flee, many of them are now taking refuge in u.n. shelters. some of them haven't had water in 15 days. they get eight hours of power a day, around all of gaza, is unemployment rate is 40 to 50%. and 80% live beneath the poverty level. in the seven year siege, most of the adults have become accustom to this it isn't their life they are concerned about, it is these guys here.

you have about half of palestinians are this age. miners around the age of 18, and marry generation is growing up in poverty, not getting the education they want, and they are living in a place where they cannot control their borders how they come and go. they cannot control the fishing waters which have been reduced from six miles recently by israel, to three miles. so what they want, is a change in their lifestyle. they say they should not be a cease fire, unless we get something out of this beyond 200 palestinians in this conflict. >> back here in washington, two texas lawmakers will introduce a plan that they say will help ease the immigration crisis. the proposed bill would amend a current law that as it stands they can go before a judge to have their cases heard, something that can keep them in the u.s. for

years. now this comes as the white house pushes congress to approve a $3.7 billion plan, it says is needed to tackle the crisis before congress leaves for august recess. until and i portation cases are processed. a requirement that is under the current law again -- a provision that is required. paul has been following this crisis, and there's a lot of emotion ties to this issue, and a lot of different opinions on this as well. >> of course. and this law that we are talking about here, the one with that these bipartisan coalition and representative from texas have put forward, would amend a 2008 law. this loophole, the president has take an lot of heat for this, and really this law was with put into effect before he even came into office.

saged into law by president george w bush less than a month before he left office. named for a 19th century british abolitionist, it broadened legal protections for young migrants thanks to bipartisan support and strong backing from evangelical groups the house and senate passed it unanimously. it says only children from mexico or canada can can be turned around and sent home. they get a chance to tell an immigration judge whether they were the victims of abuse, or a crime. during that process, they have to be held in the at least restrictive setting available, and if possible reunited with a family member. >> the white house and it's allies say this law combined with soaring crime and violence in central america, not lax border enforcement are the root of the problem, may say it has tied their hands when it comes to dealing with the current

wave of children. take a look at this, according to government records published in the los angeles time, deportation of miners folked in 2008, and plummeted after that then this' this, the backlog in the nation's immigration courts which really took off back in 2008. and the bottom line is that most children coming from central america will end up staying in the u.s. for years. while their cases make their way think the legal system. >> so regardless whether it is true, this is this lag time that is helping fuel the rumors. mer mitts for children to stay in the u.s., just listen to what these hon duran migrants told us. >> we went because of the permit that were given miners to stay there. we heard if a parent arrived with a child they would give them permission to go into the u.s. >> we heard if bepresented ourself with our caught to migration officials when we made it to the other side of the river, they would give us a permit. >> even child welfare

officials aren't always sure what the policy is. seeing all these people make this kind of desix, it thought it might be true, who knows but now i am learning it is a big lie it is going to be very difficult to get more democratic support on this, they don't want to be seen as returning children to a dangerous situation. >> there's a plane that landed in honduras this time yesterday, migrant children returning, you have been very deeply vested in this story, what can those children and the families expect upon the return? >> well, it's safe to say they are all going back to a terrible situation, they wouldn't leave in the first place if they didn't have a strong reason. they are fleeing a chaotic situation, the fact that honduras is controlled by gangs and drug cartels. the government is corrupt, and largely ineffective. the kids will be going

back potentially to very dangerous deprived situations. so it's disheartening to see these people being returned but different the current politics it is hard to see how it will change any time soon. politics always involved in issues like this. more is roxanne that, as i understand it, he knew he might be detained prior to going there, but he went with anyway. >> well, after he got there, he said he thought he might be detained. vargas was detained this morning, his detention pose as dilemma for the obama administration. he is arguably the most high profile leader of the movement in america. this photo shows him

handcuffed at the airport. and a video posted online appears to show him being questioned by authorities. vargas was in texas to visit undocumented children crossing the border to escape gang violence. in a statement supporters said we with stand in solidarity with jose antonio and demand for his immediate release, but we must remember there are thousands of people that live with the same fear every day. >> vargas is pratts the most famous undocumented immigrant in the u.s. i am going to tell you something that i haven't told a lot of people. i am actually an undocumented immigrant. >> he was brought to the u.s. from the philippines when he was 12, but it wasn't until he was 16 that he learned he entered illegally. three years ago he revealed his secret and became an activist. >> the hardest decision was deciding whether i was willing to be my own story.

as a journalist you write the story, you get the story, and get out of the way. and i plopped myself in the middle of it. >> he was surprised he would have to cross through a border patrol. about to go through security at the airport, i don't know what is going to happen. and then he tweeted the only i.d.es i have for security, philippine passport and my pocketbook u.s. constitution. emigration and custom enforcement have not commented yet, and the most likely scenario is that he will be released on bond while he waiting for a hearing but there is no guarantee. >> thank you. >> the house is set to vote soon on a bill that would keep the highway trust fund solvent for a few more months. it pays for road and bridge projects and it can run out of money in a few weeks.

what is the hold one the replenishment of these funds in. >> if you need evidence, the partisan grid lock, look no further than the highway bill. you are right. for years -- for generations real my, this is a bill that has passed with no problems. typically for six years hundreds of billions of dollars worth of funding for highways and bridges around this country. someone for everyone and every congressional district. there is agreement on a short term patch here, and that at this point, is what the house of representatives is debating, the white house unexpectedly got behind this man move, even though as the president said it is kicking the

can down the road, there isn't much time left. fluke at the calendar, ten days ten legislative days before marry summer vacation, they are not back until sent 8th. ten month funding, $11 billion that is what is being debated now. earlier today, the president visit add hi-tech driving and manufacturing hub in nearby virginia they are experimenting with very interesting technologies and the president used that opportunity to bash republicans yet again. >> to congress shouldn't pat itself on the back for averting disaster for a few months. kicking the can down the road for a few months. careening from crisis to crisis, when it comes to something as basic as our infrastructure. instead of barely paying our bills in the present, we should be investing in the future. >> what's at stake here? some 700,000 jobs. construction jobs highway jobs, engineering jobs, all around the country,

the american society of civil engineers rates the american infrastructure now grades it at a d plus. michael. >> the infrastructure so vital for so many businesses across the country as well. mike, reporting live from the white house. california officials are going to new lengths to deal with the drought, soon watering the lawn could cost hundreds of dollars. details, next. >> also, google has a new device in the works and it will fit right in your eye. the smart contact lenes coming up.

it was a mixed day on wall street. corporate earnings in the federal reserve economic outlook. the dow gain add p whoing 5 points but the nasdaq were lower. >> janet yellen offered up a mixed review, she told the senate banking committee, that the economy is improving. she says unemployment is down since her last visit in january, but she would not give a timetable for when interest rates would go up.

the leaders of the five world economies are meeting in brazil. from the bricks nation, brazil, russia, india, china and south africa, began a three day summit today. they announced the creation of a $100 billion bail out and development fund, and that fund would be an alternative to the world bank. california can soon take steps to preserve water as the state struggling to deal with a severe drought. the state board is set to impose restrictions and violators could face big fines. in san francisco, and mel nell what kind of activities will people be fined for? >> essentially it is about outdoor water use. watering your lawn, keeping it green, it take as lot another water and that's what they are concerned about. they are not doing a outright ban on watering your lawn, but if this' any excess run off water than you can be fined.

now outright ban, but if you have a hose where it is an open hose, and the water is flowing then you can be fined. they are looking for people to put proper -- blast your drive way and sidewalk with water just to clean it. so these are things that are going to impact people in hitle ways that are going to be noticeable. and it's a big first effort really at the state level for people to deal with this. >> the population of california seems like that would be a hard thing to enforce. for the local officials there, what about indoor use? so outdoor use is restrictions but the state doesn't seem to be concerned right now with people wasting water while taking showers baths or even doing the laundry or dishes. >> well, this is a first step. we don't know what is going to happen if the drought deepens and as the drought deepens. indeed do something about indoor water use, but outdoor use is where a lot of the water is being used people are very concerned and really the

one thing that has been very interesting is the drought's impact has been felt in the country side. in california, by farmers and so this is an attempt to get people in the urban areas, san francisco, los angeles, more aware. so far they read about the drought, they watched the reports, but there hasn't been an impact for people in the cities and this is a way to wake people up, and say hey, we have a very serious water crisis here. >> reporting from san francisco, thank you. >> coming up, chicago is averaging more than one murder every day this year. we will take a look at the impact behind the violence that has left hundreds dead.

chicago spiral's gun

violence is overwhelming the local police. roughly a third of the murdered were solved by beefed up police force, be uh the officers cannot close cases while residents refuse to help. >> a lot of people say he was an old soul, always nice and polite. >> for nearly five years tonya has searched for the killer of her 19-year-old son. i call often because they wasn't calling me, even when my son died they never came to me, and in my opinion, i think they saw the solve the cases they really want to, but i still make sure i call. >> why do you do that? >> because my son's case is still unsolved and i think if somebody out this that knows what happened. in the south side neighborhood of englewood, a fight broke out, and someone starting shooting.

he managed to run a block before collapsed. >> how many beam would have seen what happened that night. >> well, i was told from the time when i passed out my new yorker i was told at least 150 to 200 people. >> of all those people, nobody came forward with any information? >> not one. according to police, there are over 500 murders in the city. about 130 were solved which means that 74% of the time, somebody got away with murder. >> it's begs the question of why, because it used to be that homicide was the easiest crime to solve. in the absence offing with witnesses, how much can prosecutor dozen. >> without the cop ration

of witnesses or other people who may have information about the shooting, it's a challenge for the police. >> but mother whose have lost children to chicago's gun violence, refuse to give up. what lents have you gone to get more information about what shot and killed your son? >> i repeatedly still go out, i still ask question, i still pass out new yorkers. i have put up a billboard. >> reward money, we did a raffle. >> how long have you going to keep looking? >> tun till i find some solution. >> chicago. >> the number of homicide in chicago is down this year compared to last. stim, there have been 171 gun murders this year, and overall shootings have gone up. the city has seen more than 1200 so far this year.

harsher punishments need to be implemented to keep firearms off the streets. we appreciate the time today. you know, before we with talk about the future here, in terms of how to fix this, let's go back a little bit, it seems as though, this violence has been -- going on for decades. it is pretty system mat nick the area, whats the root cause of the continuing cycle of violence in chicago? >> well, the root cause of then't cooed cycle of violence is all based on learned behavior, the violent behaviors passed down from generation to the next. we have the mecca of gangs is pretty much started here, from the early 70's all the way up until 2014. perfect example, you have a young girl, her name is india, her uncle was in a wheelchair, he was a victim of gun violence. he handed his niece a gun

to shoot another young lady. and the beet goes on. that's why it is hard to stop it, because people are thinking violently, in some of these communities and a lot of people are on the scale of one to 10, they are already on 10. >> what about the economic issues in the city and more specifically in these particular neighborhoods? where the violence seems to occur most frequently? >> i am glad you brought that up. nobody wants to talk about the economic issue, with i have a 92% unemployment rate among african-american males between 16 and 19. that's economic violence when you with hold resources from particular underserved communities. so idle mind is a devil's workshop, the violence is learned behavior, we have to change the way people think, and then we with can make progress in chicago. >> so you are saying if more of these young people had jobs, basically, that the violence would go downcasticly? >> what i'm saying is if the people had opportunities and jobs we with could employ the

people and changing the way they think about violence and what is going on in their communities and lives. you have to work on both ends of the coin, when it comes down to reducing violence. >> if these areas are so impoverished what exactly are these gangs fighting over. >> well, the gangs -- the violence is all over the place, domestic violence, interspecial violence, gang violence, the drugs, the guns, and everything. that's why you need a crystal ball in order to stop the violence on the front end. people need to tell the public the truth, you cannot stop a guy from taking a life, unless you know the guy, why he want to kill the person, and when he plans to strike. that's why violent interrupters because they are a trained team, that go out in the community and they intercept whispers on the front end in order to stop the next. >> now, there are already some pretty tough gun laws in place, and police programs. the governor is illinois even calling for stricter gun laws but even despite those programs the law -- the number of shootings

have continued to rise, why do you think these programs and laws simply aren't working in terms of treating? >> the gun law dozen not work because you have so many decades and years of community that's been underdeveloped. underserved and i think people in the way they think, definitely passing it on to one another. you can have the strictest gun laws in the nation, but they will never work because it is too easy to get access to an illegal gun. the guns need to be intercepted before they end up in chicago, and we have to do more work trying to intercept the illegal drug trade, which is really having a bad effect here in chicago as well. as you know, having lived there for some time, chicago is one of the more racially segregated cities. just how great of a disconnect is there between the people in these communities and the people downtown who are trying to stop the

violence going on. >> there's a major disconnect. because the young people involved in the violent lifestyle, they are not connected to the older generation or the id manile age generation, so there's no respect there. and the people from the civic community, they are doing the best they can with the knowledge they have, but this' a disconnect. nobody wants to go and talk to the young guys the potential shooters out there, see, you have to establish a relationship with those shooters and they may come around and listen to you. so the disconnect, people think they can just throw money at the problem, without really addressing the root causes. i'd like to challenge everybody. if you are to put the violence prevention programs on desk duty for 30 days and i know you can't put the cops on desk duty, i guarantee you, though, if you put everybody on desk duty, you will not see an increase in violence. because the only way you will stop a killing you have to know what is going on on ground zero. what are you trying to do and making any leeway in stopping this? >> yes, without a doubt.

just last week, i got a call from a young lady, her son was in some trouble. we rushed over to the scene, mediate the conflict on the front end, because this was a bigamies understanding with her son who was 18. and they thought he had told on them, and then i had to work everything out, and save the life of this young man. we also saved the high of a young lady who was in a facebook conflict, and they threatened her life, and we got -- everybody got a chance to tell their side of the story, and we stopped then co flick on the front end, and over the last six or seven years, the violence have mediated about 2400 conflicts in the city. thank you so much for the insight. said it was the moral duty to eliminate cholera there. shortly after the 2010 earthquake. many haitians blame the u.n. for bringing cholera

to the country. some say u.n. peace keepers may have introduced the disease during their deployment. there was a major political break through in iraq today, the country's parliament has name add new speaker, as the first step toward forming a power sharing government that hopes to beat back an onslaught by sunni insurgents. more from baghdad. in recent days have intensified. on sunday, the islamic state group announced it would mount an attack to retake the largest oil refinery. the iraqi security forces have mounted air strikes. witnesses say that this is the result. the hospital bombed and houses destroyed. in places they are coming under immense pressure by the government, according

to the army, the government has moved into that territory, and they have taken key parts of the town. hour the state denied that saying they are spill in control. >> with those battles the bag drop of members of parliament, now after months iraq is finally on course to form a government. >> therefore, he is the winner. >> but this might be rah short lived victory, for the people in iraq. the constitution now requires to elect a president within 30 days and a prime minister within 45. already divisions have formed and there's no obvious front runners for the jobs. so, it's backstage political dealing now between the major parties.

and whether it is possible to get one done quickly. al jazeera, baghdad. a car can packed with explosive went off in the province earlier today. more than 50 people were injuried and dozens of vehicles were destroyed in thele booing. it was the single deadliest attack since the invasion back in 2001. no one has claimed responsibility and the taliban has denied any involvement. more than 1100 workers died. the anticorruption commission will charge 17 others for violating building codes. he has been in police custody since frying to

faced a difficult task of moving them above ground for treatment, from a train, stuck between two stages. many were left with cuts and bruises but for dozens the injuries were more serious, some helicoptered to hospital in a life threatening condition. officials think a power surge may have caused this. several cause. the main one is violation of transport safety regulations. moss cow's metro station is is the world's businessiest. with with nearly 9 million people riding it each day, it continues to expand rapidly. city officials will now need to reassure commuters that this growth hasn't come at the expense of safety.

a new study find as healthy lifestyle could be the key to preventing alzheimerss disease. researchers say subjects between the ages of 60 and 77 showed improved mental function after two years. the study had them eating healthier food and doing brain training exercises. friends and family may also help preventing the disease. volunteers were encouraged to socialize. and the rate of alzheimerss disease, is now falling in the u.s. an american over the age of 60 now has a 44% lower chance of developing dementia than someone the same age did 30 years ago. more than 5.4 million americans now suffer from alzheimerss disease. well, we have the smart car, the smart watch, and of course the smart phone. well, gag and swedish

drug maker are teaming up for a new kind of smart, the smart contact. jacob ward is in san francisco with an in depth look, who is going to benefit from this new tangled eye wear? >> well, the google x project, those sort of secret lab within google has been all about diabeteses. that's their focus. the idea here is that diabetic people, people for whom it's really important to be consistently measures their mood sugar levels, because their body doesn't respond it to it the way that nondiet bic dozen. need a better way. so the con can sent was to measure it through a contact lenes. the eye care division of that company, is going to high sense that technology, and try to make it basically an on going way of monitoring the blood sugar levels in diabetic people. so it's a huge deal. it is a massive market. 25 until people in the united states have diabeteses. 385 million people in the world. it is a huge deal.

if you can give people an easier and safer way of monitoring their blood sugar. >> there are more products ton market, where people can monitor their mood sugar, basically look like pagers this is a different type of technology, obviously, and it wouldn't be nearly as cumbersome. as wear something attached to your waste, how exactly does the technology work, that eye contact lenes can be able to monitor my blood sugar. >> it is pretty unbelievable. the research comes out of the university of washington. that came to google x to get this done, had been doing early work on contact lenes sort of design, for bringing in hardware and contact leneses what they have made is incredible. it is a hair's width antenna, a tiny wireless chip that would communicate with your smart phone, and sort of export the processing father to your pocket, all of it would be remotely powered, and google is a little sketchy -- it won't tell us how it is that they do that. but there's a remote
