>> al jazeera america presents >> we all live for the moment that's all i'm trying to do 15 stories, 1 incredible journey >> edge of eighteen coming september only on al jazeera america >> this aljazeera america, live from new york city with a look at today's top stories. a legal showdown for the affordable care act. >> dueling rulings that strike at the heart of the health care allow. >> the u.s. decides it is too dangerous to fly in and out of the israel. >> investigators piecing together the evidence from the attack on malaysian airlines flight 17.

>> two federal appeal court contradictory rulings. the junk was considering whether the federal government can help people pay for insurance bought through health care exchanges. they came to different conclusions. libby, break it down, tell us what exactly these rulings mean. >> when the obama administration launched the affordable care act, it assumed that states would want to run the insurance exchanges. in fact, a lot of republicans had agitated for that control, but when it became law, republican-led states said you do it, we're not going to take on that challenge, so mar more americans get health insurance through healthcare.gov than it was originally kind. the decision tailed gets at americans who don't get their health insurance through state

exchanges, but the federal exchange and get help as part of the affordable care act. the decisions were very different. >> the d.c. district court of appeals said the three judge panel said that americans receiving their health care through the federal exchange, they don't qualify for subs decease. they said the law was very vague, getting it through the state exchange for federal. totally opposite decision out of a different court based in richmond virginia. it said americans getting their health insurance through state exchanges do get those subs decease. things didn't turn out with the affordable care act the way it was designed so the law was vague what happened with the federal government providing these exchanges in 36 states. >> i wonder how these rulings affect americans. i can't imagine that it means

anything significant for anyone anytime soon. >> that's right, nothing happens yet. if you got your health insurance through healthcare.gov, nothing changes for now. this has to play through the court system. >> the white house will ask the d.c. court for the full panel of judges to look at it. the white house said the decision was political. >> americans to have access to tax credits that would lower health care costs whether state officials or federal officials running the marketplace. that was the clear in tents of the federal law. this will work through the legal pros and we are confident in the legal case that the department of justice will be making.

>> now republicans are declaring the d.c. circuit court decision proof that the health care law is flowed. here's wyoming republican senator john boracc. >> it is time to replace this health care law with real reforms. i ask the supreme court to take up the issue of subs decease and finally come to a conclusion on this so people understand what is in the law. >> you hear there, tony, the political battle continuing to unfold. >>, eight all over again. it never ends. coming up later in the news hour we will talk to aljazeera legal contributor jami floyd about where these cases headed. >> the fighting in gaza rages on for a 15th day. more than 100,000 palestinians are now living in shelters. israel attacked more targets today as diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire continued.

benjamin netanyahu said hamas must be held accountable for rejecting ceasefire proposals. u.s. airlines canceled flights to tel aviv after a rocket landed near the airport. nick schiffron is in gaza for us. tell us more about the suspension of flights there in tel aviv. >> this came after one of the rockets hit just right outside the airport, that is a rocket that hit the closest to the airport wins this fighting began. now the transportation ministry here isn't quite popular when it comes to this decision. they reject it, saying this is handing terror a price if the u.s. continues to halt these flights. this is obviously a sign that the u.s. is very concerned after the downing of the malaysian airlines flight. everybody stopping flights for

24 hours at least. these rockets are continuing to fly. the iron dome has defended most of tel aviv and the area around the airport, clearly this rocket got through the iron dome and a lot of people concerned that more rockets might get through as the days go by. >> you are there in gaza. we know people are fleeing. where are they going? >> >> they are going here, gaza city, the places where the fighting is most intense is to the east, about half a mile that way and three miles to the north, so everyone has congregated here. this is already one of the most populated places on the planet and now overwhelming numbers of people are coming here, filling u.n. schools. i was there a couple of days ago. one room was 200 square feet, 29 people. they're filling friends and family's houses here. we were at a house today, three or four rooms or so, standard size. there were eight families and more than 50 people there.

>> nick, scary moments i understand for all of you in gaza. what can you tell us about it? >> this morning after about 9:00 in the morning, two projectiles came through the window, landed in a lounge area. they weren't explosives. they didn't blow up the bureau. no one was in that lounge area at that moment suggesting to some people that it was some kind of washing sign or signal delivered by the israel military, who has used similar tactics to warn other people to leave their homes. they call them knock on the roofs, basically projectiles that don't explode that scare everyone, including us in this case and cause evacuation. i pressed the israel military all day on this. they insist that this wasn't the case, that they have no confirmation that anyone from their army has actually fired into the office, but this comes

one day after the foreign minister of israel lieberman said that aljazeera should be taken off the air inside of israel and was "a mouthpiece for hamas." again, a lot of tension in that office today, but no one injured or hurt at all. >> all right. we see you here. you're safe, we saw stephanie decker, another correspondent and our colleague safe, and the crew, as well. nick schiffron in gaza for us. thank you. >> some of the thousands of palestinians injured in gas have arrived in israel for medical treatment. aljazeera visited with some of them at a hospital in east jerusalem. >> she can't believe her youngest son may never see again. she said he was playing at his cousin's house when the israel army shelled their neighborhoods. head trauma could affect his

brain function and eyesight. they came to the hospital in east jerusalem for treatment. he's been unconscious for days. >> he was so looking forward to celebrating but now, it will come and he'll still be unconscious. hopefully one day, children will be able to play and have rights like other children. i just don't understand what he did to deserve this. >> in the intensive care unit, her uncle brought her here for treatment. her doctor said some of the brain damage is irrearsable. >> the israeli government's on going aggression highlighted highlights the palestinian authority in the west bank can do for people in the gaza strip. not a single person has arrived

in the west bank for treatment, because none of the hospitals there are equipped to treat serious wounds. >> in another hospital room, we found a boy at 21. his uncle said palestinians in gaza blame politicians. >> the palestinian authority has by all means failed the people in gaza. the most basic life requirements disappeared because its under siege and because palestinian authority did nothing. >> at the hospital in east jerusalem, free treatment is offered to palestinian suffering from any injury inflicted by the state of israel. >> we have to do something for them. >> what isn't helping is the intense fighting that seems

endless. while the israeli government insists it's not targets civilians in gaza, innocent people are still hurt or killed by the hundreds. aljazeera, east jerusalem. >> some perspective now on the sale of this conflict. israel says it has uncovered 23 hamas smuggling tunnels and the gaza health ministry said israeli strikes killed more than 633 people and injured 3,700 people. israel's iron dome defense system has intercepted about 400 rockets heading toward populated areas. secretary of state john kerry is in egypt working on a diplomatic solution. he had a two hour meeting with

egypt's president who has presented a ceasefire proposal. we cover the story for you. has there been any movement on the diplomatic front. >> a lot of activity on the diplomatic front. i don't know about how much movement, but certainly an awful lot of people are trying to get something done. john kerry in cairo meeting with the head of the palestinian intelligence authority, twice today at least, meeting with several leaders within the egyptian government, including presidential sisi. following the meeting, he held a conference with the president's foreign minister. >> just reaching a ceasefire clearly is not enough. it is imperative that there be a serious engagement, discussion, negotiation, rewarding the

underlying issues and addressing all of the concerns that have brought us to where we are today. >> now, the first thing that everybody wants to see is an immediate cessation of hostilities. john kerry is expected to remain through tomorrow. there is talk if the atmosphere is good and there's progress, he may move on to israel. tony. >> aside from u.s. efforts, what else do we see happening here? what's going on? >> that's the other stuff that's been going on in the region, tony. we have seen ban ki-moon arriving in israel, he took a visit to ramallah, reiterate has gone we heard secretary of state john kerry saying, there needs to be a cessation of hostilities and a serious discussion about what to do with gaza and a return to the status quo is unacceptable. we heard from the european union foreign ministers in brussels

today to talk about a number of topics, including what's happening in gaza. they condemned the u of missiles by hamas, also condemned the large numbers of deaths within gaza. there is of course widespread support for what they say adjustment efforts in the region and as far as regional powers are concerned, we are getting word of what is stride as a surprise meeting between the king of saudi arabia and the emir of qatar in saudi arabia and gaza was the main focus of those talks. >> that's pretty significant. it's the tail end of your report, but that's pretty significant indeed. already, phil ittner for us in london, thank you. >> some of the remains of those killed in the malaysia airlines crash are a step closer to returning to their families. a train carrying the bodies left the talk about a few miles from the crash site. after a 17 hour journey, the

train arrived today. >> finally out of the battle zone, the bodies and remains of those onboard mh17 arrived tuesday. >> we only have preliminary figures of 282 bodies and 87 fragments, which by initial analysis, belong to six people. >> that means they believe they have at least 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 are many steps in that process. they expect it to take a day. it won't be until wednesday those bodies are bound for the netherlands. >> processing the victims will take time. they won't all be transported together. the dutch prime minister is calling for more european pressure to end the area of fighting in eastern ukraine where the plane was shot down. >> the netherlands stress that

normal, but this is now a divided country. some want to be closer to russia and others linked to the west. >> this conflict has led to violence and hatred. it seems ukraine will never be the same again. aljazeera, donetsk, eastern ukraine. >> members of the 9/11 commission said today that the u.s. is still vulnerable to attack. the warning came in a new report issued today. the commissioners praised some federal actions, but also paint a pretty grim picture of what could happen in the future. >> despite our achievements, the threat of terrorism persists today. al-qaeda spinoffs that share its extreme ideology and hatred of the united states have proliferated and are now operational in more than 16 countries. >> the authors argue that lawmakers need to provide additional oversight for the n.s.a. they say the military force needs to be updated to track the

republican senate nominee for a seat vacated by retiring senator clam bliss. david perdue, a former c.e.o. of dollar general stores and long time congressman kingston, kingston has the financial support of gop groups but negative attacks have been rough. >> perdue promoted amnesty for illegal immigrants and made anti american statements. >> we see the world through the ugly american eyes, the rest of the world gets it. >> unfit for georgia. >> you notice the little inflection there. perdue hit kingston with this. >> adding trillions to the national debt, he spent our tax dollars all while vote to go raise his own pay seven times. jack's 22 years of liberal spending has to stop. >> that music underneath it always gets you, the winner will

take on democratic michelle nun, the daughter of sam nun. she has not yet felt the pressure of a general election race. no campaign is key, one of the few republican held seats the democrats are targeting and a democratic pickup in georgia would all but assure the democrats keep control of the u.s. is that the. another crucial senate battle is in iowa. the campaign committee launched a half million dollars television ad against republican candidate joannie earnst. she has proposed changes to social security, that could be a wipeout for us. >> her ideas are just too extreme for iowa. >> the campaign calls that ad misleading. >> in presidential politics,

refused to answer. the latest attack ad in cans is worth a look. milton is trying to defeat long time incumbent senator pat roberts, so he is jobbing roberts with this. >> pat roberts moved to washington 47 years ago. here in kansas, he rents a lays boy recliner at a donor's house on a golf course. robert vote ford kathleen sebelius, 11 debt ceiling increases, obama's cliff tax hike. pat roberts has lost touch. >> lost touch. in warrant what they're talking about there. you can count recliners as the latest weapon in the 2014 primaries. >> good snark. thank you. coming up, new evidence indicates a missile took down

said they've seen to the debris has been cut, moved, so there's a lot of question about how accurate and complete this investigation can truly be at this point. the bodies of those onboard have been moved out of the air crash area, arrived in the ukraine city and international experts are there to help process these remains. they will be taken to the netherlands for final identification and released to the family members. a spokesman for the forensic investigation team in the netherlands says they have 80 family detectives. these folks have been in touch with the families of those onboard, gathering information such as tattoo information, any scars, dental records, d.n.a. samples, all of this is to help with the identification. >> when the bodies arrive from the ukraine, and we start to examine the bodies and describe what we see with the bodies and

also take d.n.a. samples, dental status and everything, and that is the postmortem file. these, too, go in the computer system and we compare all the details, and then we will have a match and identification. >> now, identifying these bodies according to the experts could take weeks. they'll provide investigative clues, looking to do so if there are any some rap necessarily wounds on the bodies which could provide more evidence that a missile did take down this jetliner. the black boxes will be sent to britain. if the boxes are in good shape, they should be able to start getting data from them within 24 hours. >> president obama, i understand, went to the dutch embassy today. what can you tell us about that

visit? >> the president was there to pay his respects. he signed a condolence book. the netherlands suffered really the greatest loss, nearly 200 of their citizens were onboard this jetliner. the president wrote no words can adequately express the sorrow the world feels over this loss. >> obviously we're all heartbroken by what's happened. this is an opportunity for me to extend on behalf of all the american people our deepest condolences over the loss of family and friends, to express our solidarity with the people of the netherlands with whom we've been friends. >> president obama also said that he supports a full investigation and wants to make sure that justice is done. >> lisa, thank you. new pictures of the wreckage out today could shed light on the

crash. take a look. the images from "the new york times" appear to show damage caused by some rap necessarily, supporting the theory that an s.a.11 missile from a b.u.k. launcher was fired and detonated about 100-200 feet away from the plane president the missile is designed to explode before impact and releases a cloud of shrapnel as you can see there. >> nigerian penalty met with the parents of the school girls abducted four months ago. its the first time goodluck jonathan has spoke with the parents. he sat down with more than 100 parents and 50 girls who escaped. they say president jonathan has not done enough secure the country against boko haram attacks. in a rare interview, a spokesman for nigeria's military said patrols are being conducted to stop the fighters but removing boko haram will take time. >> these patrols on foot, on

land, on air with aircraft flying every moment mobilizing intelligence will be interacting with our partners and exchanging ideas and views on how to achieve this conformity with our desire to have the girls back alive and well. it's not often that very precise to manage and get quick result. like i told you earlier, we got to deploy the best of our ability to achieve the desired result of having the girls back alive and well and that calls for extreme and extraordinary

caution, and we are hopeful. >> in argentina the government has been ordered to hold around the clock negotiations with new york lenders to pay its debt. ar jen teen that has until next week to make a appointment on $1.5 billion in loans. the country renegotiated debt with most lenders after defaulting in 2001. lenders in the u.s. refused to sign that deal and want to be paid back in full. >> in south korea, the body of the owner of the ferry that sank earlier this year was found. police found his remains in an orchard a month ago. the i.d. brings the countries biggest manhunt to an end. he was found with a book he had written and bottles are alcohol. his company owned the ferry that sank in april where more than 400 died, four still missing. >> in bangladesh, sentenced to 10 years for toxic drugs. children died after taking contaminated medicine.

the accused are tried for producing fake drugs, a crime that carries a far lighter sentence than charges related to killing someone. >> three of the five accused were given the maximum 10 year sentence. what's inning about this case is that no family members of the victims were present at court nor offered any testimony in this trial. family members we spoke to said they were scared that the drug manufacturers would seek revenge. the defense attorney dismisses these claims. >> none of the family appeared as witnesses in front of the court, the prosecution could not bring any one of them to court. i never heard of anyone. >> the drugs are so common, she thinks it happened again. >> my granddaughter had a fever, i gave him the medication and his urination stopped immediately. i became scared and stopped giving the medicine. the next day, it was better.

about affordable care. this will be the third time that the u.s. supreme court will pass on the affordable care act. you remember nancy pelosi said just pass a law so we can see what it says. we passed the law, now we're trying to figure out what it says and the courts are winding up interpreting this law for the rest of us. i don't know that's the way democracy is supposed to work, but that's the way it's working in this case. >> you mentioned the supreme court would ultimately. >> i on this issue, at least. >> maybe it's good. we've got a three judge panel. >> that's right. where obama lost, the obama administration is going to appeal to the full panel. you say three judges is not

enough because one disagreed with the two, harry edwards wrote an egg subsequent dissent saying maybe the letter of the law said one thing but the spirit of the law said something else. obama wants all the judges to rule. i think it's going to go to the u.s. supreme court. one thing we learn in law school is when different courts disagree on a minutes approximately of law, the supreme court has to weigh in. >> we've got 34 states, adding the numbers. >> it might be as many as 36. >> state run exchanges, correct? >> they refuse to implement. >> they opted out. >> that's right. >> which means the people in those states were getting health care through the federal exchanges. >> that is at issue, can the federal government step in where the states refuse to implement the obamacare, but we have to emphasize that today's ruling in those districts where obamacare is not implemented, it does not

immediately affect anybody today. >> your health care insurance, your currently is not going the change. >> today. >> you're not going to get a cancellation, today or tomorrow, not in the foreseeable future, to be honest. >> but it is potentially a big deal. >> down the road. it's got to go through the process, get to the supreme court and got to be a decision by the supreme court. >> but, it is going to be fought, i think very fiercely in the courts, all the way up to the top, because this could be a big undercut. it's all about the spirit of the law or letter of the law and in the end, it's going to be a very important decision. >> let me ask you an important question for one of our prime time shows here. >> yeah, we're all working for the same thing. >> what about the other legal cases being brought against the affordable care act. >> this goes back to what i said at the beginning. we had, remember, a very controversial piece of lidgelation, no republicans voted for this at all and we

continue to do so efforts to undermine it. we see an effort in the courts to do what could not be done on capitol hill. there were many other cases coming down the pike. you saw hobby lobby, you saw the original big case in which the u.s. supreme court said this act is constitutional and you're going to continue to do so cases like these two we've just talked about and many other cases where they continue to try and attack the affordable care act. remember, we saw this with the civil rights act, with the voting rights act, even last term. when there is big law made, there is always an effort to undermine. >> terrific answer, got you on prime time. >> bring it on. >> officials in washington state say a major wildfire continues to grow even as firefighters make some progress. so far the flames have burned an area more than four times the size of seattle. imagine that for a second. the fire is 16% contained, yesterday firefighters only had

taiwan. now the satellite shows that it did try to intensify a bit right over taiwan, now will continue to push offer to the north and turn northeast moving across eastern china, heading for north and south korea. it will weaken over land, still heavy rain expected with this storm. >> the atlantaic, this is the visible picture, as the 1r. sun came up, here is tropical depression, casting a shadow to the west. there are towering storms holding together fairly well. as it continues to track over the atlantic towards the caribbean here, it will come across areas which are not favorable for development. the storm will continue to track over the next few days, there is very dry air, the wind changing direction with height, likely to dissipate before it moves into the caribbean.
