this is al jazeera. >> hello, welcome to the news hour. as our headquarters here, these are our top global stories. the push for cease fire in gaza, diplomatic missions in tel-aviv, cairo and the u.n. will the answer come from rwanda? israel keeps up the shelling in gaza as a rocket attack across the border some airline to cancer flights to tel-aviv. >> the top stories from europe, including the first bodies of the victims of flight m.h. 17

have arrived in territory controlled by ukraine's government. >> and keeping hope alive for their daughters al jazeera meets the families of nigeria's missing school girls. good to have your company. several developments to report on on the on going conflict. now, several international airline are surf spending flights after a rocket attack near the airport. also live in gaza, with the latest on the bombardment, but we begin with with the diplomatic fleury taking place across the globe. the effort to help end the war is in full swing. the u.n. secretary general is in tel-aviv, and within the next hour, palestinian president is

expect ped to lay out a cease fire. prime minister a few hourses ago, they wanted to end the hostilities. >> and there are some many other of these groups that define that reject, that reject respect of human rights that use their own people, as human shields that attack civilians. and this is part of a larger pattern. what grievance can we solve for hamas. they don't even want to state a solution. they don't want any state

solution, some of them say they should open up great movement and resolve all the regimes. and therefore, in the face of such extremism, in the face of such violence, and terror, steal has no option but to defend itself. my message is is is the same, stop fighting start talking and take on the root causes of the country can so we will not the same situation. in another six years oever a year. >> now, john kerry is in egypt for open ended talks amido stopping the conflict in gaza. kerry is trying to revive the peace deal rejected by hamas last week. but egyptian and air rah officials want the goal of the cease fire to be linked to a larger effort to resume failed israeli palestinian peace talks.

we still obviously have work to do, it's also clear to me from each of the parties that i have met with, that there is a frame work available to end the violence. and that frame work is the egyptian initiative that has been put forward. >> while diplomatic editor joins me now in west jerusalem, a din lomatic career across the middle east, and now saudi arabia is is getting involved? >> yes, we have all sorts of important developments taking place. so -- yes, the very latest development we heard about is taking place in saudi arabia, a meeting between king abdullah, and the emir, they are meeting and that is an important meeting because they are big differences between those two countries. it is significant on a number of issues but

clearly significant with with egypt, and i think the position of hamas in this particular cop flick in gaza. other developments in the last couple of hours coming from rah mall la, from the palestinian authority, we are expecting him to speak to reporters in the next hour or so. and we hear there is a new palestinian proposal, for a cease fire. now, this sort of match is what we have also been hearing from john kerry, they have been saying that there needs to be a cease fire, and then negotiations on the underlying causes of the problems in gaza. and of course, hamas is already said that it should be part of a cease fire, the lifting of the siege. now what the authority president we believe is going to suggest is the idea of a cease fire, and then straight away, five days of intense negotiations so you don't just put off this discussion on these underlying issues you

talk about them straight away, and that we with understand is a palestinian proposal, what we don't know, is who else is onboard with with that proposal. is it just the palestinian authority, or is hamas in gaza onboard waywith that proposal. what do the israelis make of it, all of that is not clear, what is clear is that banky moon is under the -- some of the opted mystic he sounded at any time in the last 14 days. he briefed the u. n. security council, and he said it was his hope there would be an end to the fighting in the very near future. he certainly sticking his neck out there. with a comment like that. >> i wanted to come to next, is the language itself, and the new wons, it does seem the secretary general has perhaps spoken in the most optimistic terms but he has to try having spoken to so many of the game players this, politicians and prime ministers and the like to try to get them to sit at some sort of negotiating table, it is a difficult card game to play, isn't

it? and get a result from it. >> a difficult card game earlier on i have been describing as a jigsaw, yeah, there is so many pieces. you have to deal with with hamas, the other groups deal with with palestinian authority and the israelis in's complicated enough, but then there's the regional dimensions in this, a lot of other countries that have leverage, that can help try to mediate, but some of those just don't get on with each other, on one side you have countries like cat tar and turkey, on the other egypt, and really no love lost between those. in some areas they have to mediate between the mediators it is extremely difficult. >> now u.s. authorities have joined some european carriers in canceling flights to tel-aviv airport.

they said they also canceling fights to israels main airport. tuesday marks the 15th straight day of the gaza strip. 633 people have been killed. there's also intense shelling around the buffer zone. let's join nicole johnson, our correspondent has been following events for us. we just need some clarification on the u.n. schools that were apparently hit by rocket fire, what is the status of that situation. >> yes, i spoke to someone from the united states refugee and works agency, about that, and they said that the camp, that a school inside that camp which is in central gaza has been hit by intense shelling.

this were some visiting internationals at the school, and it was hit again by tank shells. there was some damage, and a girl, a young girl was injured but no one was with killed. the u.n. has says that more nan 70 of the installations have been hit since this conflict began. >> they are seen as safe havens and so many up to 100,000 internally displaced people, what sanctuary can they even go to. >> well, people in gaza are taking sanctuary, anywhere they can. some are saying with with family members some are sort of almost camping out outside the hospital for example, we know that tens of thousands of people are inside these united nations schools, and there's also around 150 people who are taking refuge in one of the churches. there are around 3,000 christians in gaza, so the catholic church here has opened it's doors, and some people are

staying there for the moment as well. >> well, of course, over the last 15 days we have talked about the israeli military machine, certainly surrounding the gaza strip. mow do you assess their deployment this evening? >> it doesn't seem to have changed. it doesn't seem as though the tanks which we know are in east road have moved out of that area that they have advanced further into disas gaza strip, over the last 24 hours they seem to be staying put. we are still getting shelling from the coast, you can hear them here because we are right on the coast here from time to time. and the whole eastern flank of the gaza strip, is still being hit with intense shelling. from time to time, in the central region and all the way down. the death toll for the last 24 hours is around 76 palestinians. 15 of them are people in bodies that have been

putted out of the rubble, as emergency crews are now able to get to some of the areas. that they hadn't been able to get to over the last few days. >> for the moment, nicole we will leave it there. and come back to you as the situation developed. now, a few palestinians injured by the israeli offenseny the gaza strip have started arriving in israel, for medical treatment. our reporter visited some of the injured at the hospital in east jerusalem. >> she says he was playing at his cousin's house, when the army shelled their neighborhood. their building collapsed around them. the result, head trauma that could effect his brain function and eyesight. they keep here for treatment, he has been unconscious for days.

>> he was so looking forward to celebrating after ramadan. but now, it will come and he will still be unconscious. hopefully one with day they will be able to play and have fun like other children. i don't understand what he did to deserve this. the intensive care unit, her uncle brought her here for treatment. he says an israeli mill site hit their house, causing severe head injury, her doctor said some of the brain damage is irreversible. >> the government's on going aggression has perhapsed highlighted just how little the palestinian authority in the west bank can do for people in the gaza strip. so far, not a single injured palestinian from gaza has arrived in the west bank for treatment, because none of the hospitals there are equipped to treat serious wounds.

in another hospital room, he was born deaf and mute, and now at 21, haze been paralyzed from the waste down. the explosion caused by an israeli air strike that he couldn't hear threw him 20 meters. his uncle say palestinians blame politicians. >> the most basic requirements disappeared because palestinian authorities did nothing. they need to save their life, so we have to do something for them. >> what isn't happening is the intense fighting between factions and the israeli army that seems endless. and while the israeli government insists it is not targeting civilians in gaza, innocent people are still being hurt or

killed by the hundreds. on our website, we have a live blog as well as videos opinion. all you have to do is log on to our website on aljazeera.com. much more coming up on the al jazeera news hour, including al jazeera's gaza bureau came under fire today, we will look at the dangers and challenges covering the conflict from both sides of the border. and in sport, one of the stars of the world with cup make as big move in madrid, coming up. the dutch prime minister says the first body of m.h. 17 could be back in the netherlands by

wednesday with. they were take therein from the crash site onboard a refrigerated train, all 298 people died when the plane was with shot down last week. formally identifying the victims could take months. after the cracker site, european monitors say the area has been tampered with. final hi out of the battle zone. the bodies arrived tuesday. >> we only have preliminary figures of 282 bodies, and 87 fragments. k by initial analysis belong to 16 people. so that means believe they have some remains of all those onboard. >> now that the bodies are here in the factory, the process to get them out of ukraine has begun. there will be many steps in that process, and they expect it to take at least a day, so it won't be until wednesday until they are boarded on this

aircraft bound for the netherlands. >> processing the victims will take time. so they won't all be transported together. the nether hands have stressed they want with to call for russia to do more to call for rest in ukraine. something has changed sin last thursday. personals have joined at the crash site, as they comb through the wreckage spread over 25-kilometers. >> we are in contact with the government sources as well as the rebel leadership. and we have the guarantees from them nare movement should be without trouble. >> but the fighting nearbyn't p cos so there is still a risk. teams need to focus on their negotiation and not their security.

in the meantime fightingn't cos in eastern ukraine. shelling has resumed in areas close to the city now it comes as they voted for a partial mobilization of army troops. reports plow russian fighters say they are preparing if the another major push by ukrainian fors. on the ground, the bodies of three soldiers. this insignia is ukrainian. >> separatists tell us they destroyed it. preventing the government forces from ending donetsk. many of these separatist soldiers are ukrainian too, now they are fighting their fellow countryman. andre is 18 years old. he left his engineering course to join this conflict. i ask him why. >> i am fighting for my

nephews, for myself, for my future life and my freedom. there is shutting in the distance, the forces are less than 15-kilometers away. they could attack again at any time. separatist have abandoned small villages and towns, sending reenforcemented and hear to donetsk. >> this is the front line we are told there is ukrainian snipers just across this bridge. thousands of people are leaving before that happens. there is fear here, but also anger. pleads tell the world to help us stop this. we are peaceful people.

>> some people are staying hope things will get back to normal. but this is now a divided country. some want to be closer to russia, and other people want to be linked to the west. this conflict has led to violence, and hatred. it seems ukraine will never be the same again. am al jazeera, eastern ukraine. >> well, meanwhile the european union says russia will face harsher sanctions following the downing of the malaysia airline plane, it failed to announce any immediate action, the 28 ministers have been meeting to discuss their next move, as increasing pressure from the united states and britain to step up the measures. several ministers are calling for an arms empargo. nadine barber says announcements about further sanctions are expected on thursday. after several hours the foreign ministers agreed

to come up with new names and new companies to be added to the list of existing sanctions now that is expected to be presented on thursday. they also agreed to start looking at possible measures against whole sections of the russian economy. financial services, energy, and defense, that would be if they didn't see more concessions more cooperation from russia. in eastern ukraine, and particularly an end to what they see as the constant know of fighters and weapons into eastern ukraine. they say that that flow has created the conditions which led to the shooting down of the passenger plane. that was with something that was addressed by the e.u. policy chief at the end of the talks. >> we in particular call on russia to use it's influence over the illegally armed groups to achieve access to the site. and we urge russia to

stop the increasing flow of weapons, equipment, and militants across the border. so we with can achieve rapid, and tangible deescalation. and we ask it withdraw it's additional troops. >> this had been some suggestion that the ministers may talk about an arms empargo, but at the moment that doesn't seem to be any consensus. france has a contract worth around 1.2 billion euros to supply russia with two ships carrying helicopters now, it has said the delivery of the second could be made conditional on russian cooperation, but the first it says will definitely go ahead later this year. that's something that angers some governments including the british, but it is certainly not something that is rallying opinion in buts sells and so for the time being, the arms empargo remains one step too far for some.

that supports claims that the missile that downed the malaysian plane came from a separatist controlled area in ukraine. a former spy was with poisoned to death in london. now with relations are worse with than they have been in decades the british government has chose ton open a public inquiry? coincidence? more on the story from moscow. nigeria's president held his first meeting with the parents of school girls abduct bed i the armed group boko haram. 219 girls were with taken from their school in northern nigeria. more than threen't mops ago. boko haram has offered to

free the girls in exchange for the release of it's fighters but the government has refused. it must have been a very difficult meeting for the parents as they met the president, and more nan likely wanting answers as well. yes, it has been almost 100 days to the mark now since these girls have been missing and you recall, the intense criticism the administration of president good luck jonathan has come under for the way it has handled this, for in fact dismissing the kid p thatting took place all together for not really reaching out to the families sooner up until the pakistani education activists came here two weeks ago, and pleaded with the president to meet with the families. finally this meeting taking place after the back and forth, what

could have been a very hostile encounter turned out to be rather civilized by all accounts. two families emerged very happy from the meeting, they have told us that they were very comforted by the words of the president that he listened intensely, to them, that he welcomed them very warmly, and that he renewed his reassurance that the girls will be brought back alive and well. in fact he would visit them in the town when the girls are released. a tough technical problems this, we will try to come back to her if we with can. just the nigerian authorities are certainly trying to do what they can to get those girls back. a judge has sentenced three people to prison for producing toxic drugs. after taking contaminated medicine, reports from dacca, the problem persists.

a crime that carry as far lighter sentence than charges related to killing someone. three of the five accused were with given the maximum sentence. no family member of the victims war present at court, nor did they offer any testimony. family members they spoke to, said they were scared that the drug manufactures would seek revenge. the defense attorney does miss these claims. none of these families came forward, the prosecution couldn't bring any one of them. i never heard of anyone. >> the drugs are still common in bangladesh. >> a while back, my grandchild had a fever so i bout some. and his urination stopped immediately, he couldn't urinate all night, i became scared and i stopped giving the medicine, the next day it was better. >> she faces the same

decision every time her children get sick, she says that at least some justice has been served. al jazeera, taka. >> still ahead on al jazeera, including in indonesia, the government wins after a lengthty vote count, but they reject the outcome. robin has more on that in sport. consider this on al jazeera america >> israel's invasion of gaza continues tonight. >> we have been hearing a lot of tank shelling coming from where

the past two weeks. the death toll on the israeli side is 30. urine's safety agency says lit strongly recommend airline avoided tel-aviv airport until further notice. several carriers including delta, air france, have canceled flights after a rocket landed near the airport. let's get more of this, in washington, d.c., our correspondent there that joins me. it seems the american authorities are taking no chances in the light of the malaysian airline crash in ukraine. the administration, or f.a.a. as often called here in the united states has order add directive two hours ago. in essence suspending all air travel to israel, this effects the carriers delta, as well as united and us airways. now, the reason for this is because of concerns of one rocket that we are told landed on the

fringes of the tel-aviv airport, but this was so concerning to at least delta airline pilots they were diverted from their destination to charles segal airport, carrying on the 747 that was rerouted. so we are told now that the f.a.a. is monitoring this situation, the slights are suspended for the next 24 hours only then they will make a determination whether to lift this, or if it should be continued. working to try and reassure the faa but right now the decision stands. >> of course, on going and developing story coming out of the u.s., and we will come back to you with with more on that as it happens. join that long list of international airline that have decided to avoided tel-aviv for the time being. >> let's go to our top story, of course.

by two direct gunshots now the building was evacuated and wind with does were smashed. our journalists are now working from a temporary office. nicole johnston is still in gaza, a very dangerous day, really, for our members of staff there in the strip, what exactly happened and what are you doing to maintain your own safety? my colleagues say that first of all, one bullet came through an open wind with doe, and then a second bullet hit one of the live positions one of the balcony areas. a great deem of panic, this is a building that is used by a number of media, it is also a residential area. some of the risks at the moment. one cameraman, he is --

he was standing next to an ambulance when it came under attack. and also been quite a few journalist whose have been injured. yesterday, in fact, we were in the central part of gaza in an area in the city that we regarded at safe. driving through narrow streets. all of a sudden tense shelling started up, it hit a house, and two people were killed. so it does go to show that in the gaza strip at the moment, you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time, journalists everyone living here, bee it there tense shelling or an air strike.

with the shrapnel wounds we have seen, a lot of children in hospitals these are risks that everyone faces working here or living here at the moment. nicole johnton in gaza. this isn't the first time that al jazeera has come under attack in the gaza strip. >> an israeli shell landed near in 2012, damaging the building and forcing our journalists to relocate. israel's foreign minister says his government is looking to ban al jazeera from operating inside israel. speaking during a meeting with his counter part, al jazeera has become a pillar of hamas' propaganda effort. al jazeera considering the comment as serious matter, israel is accountable for the safety of our teams working inside israel, and the palestinian territories. that's just turn our attention back to that

latest diplomatic development in the conflict between gads & israel. our seen control mill analyst join us. james just told us about this meeting between the royal heads, for international viewers how significant is this meeting between the two. >> it is significant for two reasons. one, is that saudi arabia has long played an important role in whatever the concerns the near east and qatar has been of course dealing with with hamas for a while now. and has basically the deposit, if you will, of the conditions for a cease fire. the second important reason is there has been tensions between the two countries over the last several weeks. this work -- this issues were with sort of resolved among them, but

there remain tock tensions. that means something is cooking and perhaps there's a move on the question of hamas, and i it's cease fire. be talking about a two pronged approach, stop fighting start talking. who has the best proposal or the best offer at the moment? certainly instructions from the secretary of state, told him work on the long term humanitarian. which means that both parties and israel have not accepted the idea of a cease fire. without also subtracting some conditions so the

humanitarian cease fires allows for stopping the fire, as well as doing immediate discussions that both parties think are relevant. now, this is important also because secretary curry has a bit of a problem with the ecommission initiative as it stands. because it thinks it won't be accepted by hamas, the egyptians insist on it, so now they are saying that this is a frame work initiative for the cease fire, which means that you can still plug in a few other stuff into it. so it is a frame work that can be changed in terms of it's content. so it is another nuance, that they are working on. be that as it may, what is most striking is that that is happening on the sideline of something more important, and that is the prime minister insisting that he needs to continue his onslaught on gaza, that the job is t no done, and that he still wants to defeat hamas, destroy tunnels and hit the longshores and so on. of course, in the meanwhile, a lot of

people are dieing and all of that is hiking the stakes. so while there is initiative going on, but on the military aspect of it, i think israel is just continuing with businesses as usual. expected to talk in the coming hours for the moment, thank you for your insight into what is happening. now, three al jazeera journalists have now spent 206 days in an egyptian prison, falsely accused of helping the muslim brotherhood. for seven years last month, and also sentenced for seven yearses plus an additional three years nor possessing a spent bullet which he picked up at a protoast, al jazeera continues to demand that it's journalists with freed.

reluctant government to devil into the circumstances of his death, now politicians have is decided the time is right for an inquiry. it happened to be a very difficult situation in the war with, and relationship between russia and all the communities. and what happens in ukraine, it makes all it is very different prospect.
