>> hello, everyone, i'm fredricka whitfield. crucial in evidence the hands of pro-russian rebels? the very group blamed for shooting down a malaysian plane may have its hands on the flight recorders. the group's leader says he'll turn them over if they're confirmed to be the black boxes but can he be trusted? u.s. secretary of state john kerry is outraged at how rebels are controlling the crash site. >> we want the facts and the fact that the separatists are controlling this in a way that is preventing people from getting there even as the site is tampered with makes its own statement about culpability and responsibility. i. >> the deadliest day so far in the middle east conflict. israel says hamas fighters lured israeli tanks into a field with hidden bombs. 13 israeli soldiers died and at least 87 palestinians were

killed today. israel's prime minister calling hamas fighters the worst kind of terrorists. plus, a tobacco company is told to pay billions to a woman whose husband died after smoking for years. how she was able to argue that he didn't know about the dangers of smoking. black box which is could provide answers to what happened when a malaysia airlines plane was fired upon may be in the hands of the rebels who are accused of taking down the flight with 298 people on board. the leader of the pro-russian rebels says he has technical devices that might be the black boxes he said if experts determine they are flight recorders they would be turned over do international investigators. reuters news agency distributed this video of what appears to be one of the flight recorders, the orange boxes, being recovered by a rescue worker.

the video was shot friday. also, search teams have found the remains of 233 of the 298 people on board flight 17. european observers say many of the bodies have been loaded on to refrigerated train cars at a station near the crash site british prime minister david cameron expressed outrage at the disorderly situation at the crash scene. he tweeted "i've just spoken to president putin, i made clear he must ensure access to the crash site so the victims can have proper funerals." let's go straight to cnn's phil black at the crash site. if the rebels have the black boxes, where are those train cars where the bodies being taken. >> firstly those train cars at the moment they are somewhere locally in areas controlled by the pro-russian militants and the next step is negotiating their release.

what the ukrainian government wants to do is get to train cars to ukrainian government control then it will be the dutch government that coordinates the efforts to identify those victims to ensure the right remains are returned to the right families. when it comes to the flight data recorders and cockpit and voice recorders they may now be in the position of the rebel leadership. they say they have them here securely that might be what the hole world is wondering about. when international experts get here they will hand them over to be examined but only then they say, fredricka. >> and then today at the scene what were you able to witness. >> a significant change over the last 24 hours. early yesterday it was still

quite a horrible scene with most of the bodies still laying out there in the open several days after they fell from the sky so the search effort, the recovery effort to find the bodies of the remaining victims is now focused on areas that were really severely damaged by fire where there may be very little to look for but also the wide surrounding area, fields, tall grass and wheat where other bodies that may have been flung further afield could be still waiting to be found. so also the area itself is more secure than it was or has been for the last few days but still not totally secure. there's still people wandering around able to access it and no doubt corrupt the site as well. that will be a concern for those who want a world's best practice

forensic examination to begin as soon as possible. fredricka? >> very complicated, indeed. thanks so much, phil black. and the u.s. is demanding a full-fledged investigation into the shooting down of malaysia airlines flight 17 and is calling on russia to step up and join the u.s. in its demands. barbara star joins us from washington so, barbara, secretary of state john kerry says there is an enormous amount of evidence that russia bears great responsibility if shootdown. what can you tell us about this? >> hi, fred. the u.s. has been collecting intelligence literally since a few moments after this all happened looking at everything it has. now some of the information being made public, the u.s. making the case that russia bears responsibility for this. john kerry revealing for the first time there had been a deadly arsenal of russian weaponry shipped into ukraine. have a listen to what he had to

say. >> there was a convoy several weeks ago about 150 vehicles with armed personnel carrier, multiple rocket launchers, tanks, artillery, all of which crossed over from russia into the eastern part of ukraine and was turned over to the separatist separatis separatists that included rocket launchers coming across the boarder to the ukrainian side of the border turned over to pro-russian separatists. when the u.s. began to look at its intelligence, what we now know from what kerry and others have told us is they found a couple of key pieces of evidence. they found indeed when this happened a surface-to-air missile launcher had been turned on u.s. radar detected it. there had been a large explosion

in the sky. u.s. satellite saw the heat signature of that exfloegs the sky and today we also have learn ed that the u.s. intelligence community was able to voice match, if you will, intercepts from ukrainian separatists, pro-russian separatists, claiming they shot down -- they thought they shot down a transport plane. now they have voice matched those recordings to known separatists. one of the most concerning pieces of evidence, one of the most direct links possibly to the russia side of the border, the u.s. also says it has intelligence evidence there is a site just across the border in russia where the separatists have been getting training in the surface-to-air missile systems. fred? >> wow. all right, barbara starr, thanks so much for that information. still to the come, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu sits down with cnn's wolf blitzer and calls for the demilitarization of gaza. we'll have that discussion straight ahead.

bloodshed and death mounting in the middle east. 13 israeli soldiers confirmed dead, caught in an ambush. at least 87 palestinians killed, hundreds wounded near gaza city. all of that today during a brief cease-fire. those civilians caught in the cross hairs of the fighting could get medical attention and get out of harm's way. more than 400 palestinians have died in the conflict along with 18 israeli soldiers and two israeli civilians. 81,000 palestinians have fled the fighting to take refuge in u.n. schools in gaza city. israel says it has struck 2,300 terror targets in gaza and found 13 tunnels used for weapons smuggling. at a briefing with key officials today, prime minister benjamin

netanyahu said israeli soldiers have destroyed most of the gaza tunnels. netanyahu also received a phone call from president obama expressing concern about the growing number of casualties and telling him secretary of state john kerry will soon travel to cairo to seek an end to the conflict. the prime minister has been prepping israelis for long days of fighting but he's also getting hard questions about the conflict with hamas cnn's wolf blitzer sat down with the prime minister and asked about an exit strategy from the ground offensive in gaza. >> we're being seen now by viewers in the united states and around the world in more than 200 count rise around the world right now. quick question -- your exit strategy from gaza. what is it? >> sustainable quiet. i mean, we didn't seek this escalation, hamas forced it on us. they started rocketing our cities, steadily increasing the fire. i called for deescalation, they

refused. i accepted an egyptian cease-fire proposl backed up by the arab league and the u.n., they refused. i accepted a humanitarian lull proposed by the united nations, they refused. we'll stop our operations when we can bring back quiet to our people. >> some of your cabinet ministers think the only way to do that is to reoccupy gaza which you evacuated from and gave it up back in 2005. do you support reoccupying gaza? >> well, i support taking whatever action is necessary to stop this insane situation. just imagine. i mean, imagine what israel going s going through. imagine 75% of the u.s. population is under rocket fire and they have to be in bomb shelters within 60 to 90 seconds. i'm not just talking about new york. new york, washington, chicago, san francisco, detroit, miami, you name it. that's impossible. you can't live like that. so i think we have to bring

back, restore reasonable sustained quiet and security and we'll take whatever action is necessary to achieve that. >> but that includes possibly reoccupying gaza? because a lot of your military planners are afraid of what they would call a quagmire, a dangerous quagmire. >> nobody wants to go to excessive military lengths but what is happening here is excessive. they're not only targeting our cities, they're deliberately firing thousands of rockets, they've already fired 2,000 rockets in the last few days on our cities. you can imagine this. it's not only that. and they wanted to kill as many of our six million israelis who are targeted as they could they haven't succeeded. not for lack of trying, it's because we developed with american help and i appreciate the help that president obama and the u.s. congress have given us to develop these iron dome fantastic systems. of of the missile perforate and hit our schools and we have to

stop that. but in addition to the rockets, they've got now terror tunnels that they penetrate underground into israeli territory. terrorists pop up there, try to murder civilians, kidnap israelis as they did with gilad shalid and we'll continue the action as long as necessary. >> you see these painful pictures, though, those palestinian children and refugees, thousands of them fleeing their homes. it's a horrendous site if you look at the images, heart wrenching. what goes through your mind when you see that? >> i'm very sad. when i see that i'm very sad. we're sad for every civilian casualty. they're not intended. this is the difference between us. hamas deliberately hides behind civilians. they embed their rocketeers, their rocket caches, their other weaponry from which they fire, which they use to fire on us in civilian areas. what choice do we have. we have to protect ourselves so

we try to target the rocketeers, we do. and all civilian casualties are unintended by us but actually intended by hamas. they want to pile up as many civilian dead as they can because somebody said they use -- it's gruesome. they use telegenically dead palestinians for their cause. they want the more dead the better. >> the argument your critics make is that you're overreacting right now. overkill. >> well, look, i want to say this -- there's very few examples in history of countries that have been rocketed on this scale. if you look at our response, it's actually very measured and trying to be as pinpointed as we can. i appreciate the support we've received from president obama and many world leaders for israel's right to self-defense but others are saying, yeah, you have the right of self-defense as long as you don't exercise it. what can i country do? what would you do? what would the people of the

united states do if your cities were rocketed now, 2,000 rockets falling on american cities? people would say in the united states, as they're telling me "obliterate the people." we don't obliterate them. we don't have any battle with the palestinians in gaza. >> but it is brutal there now. >> it's very difficult because hamas is using them, the palestinians, as human shields. we develop anti-missile systems to protect -- we use anti-missile systems to protect our civilians. they use their civilians to protect their missiles. that's the difference. so, again, such a scynical, brutal, hardless enemy we try to minimize casualties and target military targets and unfortunately there are casualties which we regret and don't seek. they all fall on the responsibility of hamas. >> president obama urged you the other day to -- all of the parties to return to the cease-fire that was reached in november, 2012. are you accepting his proposal?

go back to that cease-fire? >> i already did. already did. >> if hamas were to say to you right now "we accept the cease-fire" would israel raw its forces from gaza? >> that was the egyptian proposal which we accepted and they refused. >> if they accepted now, is it too late? >> i don't know. i don't want to speak about it being too late. i think first thing is a cessation of hostilities but then we'd have to -- >> would israel withdraw its forces as part of a cessation of hostilities? >> first we have to deal with this tunnel business because we're not leaving those tunnels. >> you would stay until those tunnels are destroyed? >> we're doing that now as we speak. >> how long is that going to take? >> it's being done fairly qui quickly but i think the important thing is not to put terms but to end the hostilities and get into a situation where we have a sustainable cease-fire. that means discussing the demilitarization of gaza. they should have been b demilitarized. it became basically an iranian

fiennesed and equipped fortress of terror with thousands and thousands of rockets and other webs being smuggled and developed in it. that has to stop. >> and of the more than 400 palestinians killed so far in the fighting, the united nations estimates that 70% are civilians. up next, is a cease-fire possible? we'll tell you what officials say must happen in order for that to take place.

within with casualties mounting on both sides in the middle east it seems like there are more questions than answers. aaron david miller is the former advisor to six secretary of states on the asia israeli peace process. he's vice president and distinguished scholar at the woodrow wilson international center for scholars and the author of the book "the end of greatness: why america can't have and doesn't want another great president." he joins us now from washington. all right, so there's word today that secretary of state john kerry will head to cairo soon. what can he do to make some kind of progress in this crisis. >> if you want a cease-fire, and fredricka, remember, that's not a solution, probably an outcome,

you need three things and they're not in place. you need urgency, and i mean real urgency. enough pain and gain that would compel both hamas and israel to consider deescalation. and as terrible and as horrible as the situation is right now, i don't think you've got that urgency yet. number two -- >> you mean the death count we're seeing is not urgency enough? >> it depends. hamas appears to be willing to tolerate anding a wes in a lot of i didn't knowian civilian casualties in order to achieve their end. i don't want to be cruel and seemingly heartless on this, i'm just trying to create a political frame of reference not from the standpoint of the public's but from hamas and israel. >> so what's number two? >> i don't know. all i know is if it was truly urgent you would have seen deescalation. you haven't seen that. number two, you need a mediator and one that seems to be trust bid both the israelis and hamas,

you don't have one of those either right now. the egyptians played that role in november 2012 when mohamed morsi, who's now in prison, was the president. abdel fatah sal sisi wants to squeeze hamas. and finally, you need a deal. you need to explain what the last ten days and probably a few more to come have been all about and the truth is you just don't have it right now and that -- it's the terms of the deal, frankly, that are going to be the most elusive. >> so in terms of the mediator, it wouldn't be the u.s., in your view, that's what i'm hearing from you and it couldn't be egypt even though the secretary of state is heading to cairo to help broker something so as we

try to understand what is taking place you write that this is found with happen, that israel had no choice and you spell out the justification as to why israel is taking this route. yeah. i mean, i think basically you have a an israel/hamas problem and it's not going away. this is the third sequel to this terrible movie that we've watched. first in '08 and' '09 and then n 2012, now this. the prime minister talks about demilitarization, that basically means taking all of hamas's high-trajectory weapons away and fundamentally changing the nature of that organization. >> that's not going to happen. >> not going to happen. so the reality is the best you're going to do -- i think you can probably do better than quiet for quiet. maybe you can be -- do stability for stability. a longer term agreement which somehow opens up gaza economically and creates with the egyptians, with the

americans. the qataris are going to be involved because they'll need to pay the salaries of the hamas employees that run gaza and that's a central hamas demand. i don't think you're going to get out of this with one side basically victorious over the other and the problem is so many innocent people are killed and injured? >> and it seems like both sides it would have justification because neither side feels like it can afford to do something to act because of its business of government to guarantee some kind of security or normalcy. aaron david miller, thanks so much, appreciate it. >> pleasure. the other big story we're following today, the world wants answers abouts malaysia airlines flight 17 and why it was shot down. the strong message one u.s. senator has for russian president vladimir putin. next.

stealing credit cards from the victi victims' bodies on the ground d. ukrainian president says the way the rebels are dealing with the bodies is "beyond moral boundaries." world leaders want putin to pressure the pro-russian separatists to allow more access to the crash site and the victims' families want answers. >> mr. putin, please take care of my son and my daughter. >> who knows where they are? who knows where the bodies are? where did they take them? >> i can do nothing but wait for the bodies. >> cnn's erin mcpike is at the white house. >> the obama administration administration is sending fbi officials as well as officials from the national transportation safety toward assist in the investigation and the search and they're also putting more pressure on russia. i want you listen here to senator dianne feinstein who was on cnn's "state of the union" this morning saying what more she wants to hear from putin.

in this conflict. but he did express some concerns about the number of casualties. he also said that he is sending secretary of state john kerry to cairo and there john kerry will call for an immediate cessation of these hostilities and wants to see a return to the november 2012 cease-fire. >> erin mcpike at the white house. thanks so much. >> more on the malaysia airlines tragedy now. it's been just four months since malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared over the indian ocean. now they're responding with a tragedy belong belief. here's cnn's kim long. >> >> one by one, the full names of the 298 passenger, the manifests released by the airline. grandparents, students, children. it's an all too familiar feeling. >> now here we are again. we've been through a series of

screamed their frustration on international television. but with flight 17 the rage is directed not internally but at an outside force. malaysia this time is not a bungling country grappling with the mystery but demanding answers. >> this outrage cannot go unpunished. once again,s malaysia con democrat this is brutal act of aggression and calls for those responsible to be found. and to face the full force of justice without delay. >> the clarity of what happened in this crash doesn't make it any easier, say grieving friends and family. they say it is simply different. cnn, kuala lumpur. coming up in the newsroom -- pain and suffering on the ground in gaza. it's also being felt by palestinian families right here in the u.s. we'll meet some of them next.

so $23 billion in settlement. not stuttering. $23 billion, a lot of money. her lawyer and her were able to convince this jury she deserved that money. she spoke exclusively to nbc news this morning and this was her reaction to the verdict. >> first i heard millions, i didn't know it was "b" with a "b, billions." and i still can't believe it. >> her case was initially part of a class action lawsuit where a separate jury awarded those plaintiffs about $145 billion. that verdict was overturned in 2006 by a florida supreme court but it did open the window for individual lawsuits, that's where robinson saw her opening. she's been in litigation since 2008. now this verdict. >> so now the likelihood of robinson seeing that money? >> that's where this gets interesting. there's achance, according to legal analysts, she may not see any of it at all. >> zero? >> zero dollars of this. also r.j. reynolds is filing an appeal. they sent us a statement a short time

this verdict goes far beyond the realm of reasonableness and fairness and is completely inconsistent with the evidence presented. we plan to file post-trial motions and are confident that the court will follow the law and not allow this runaway verdict to stand. robinson's lawyers, fred, they say this is never about the money. this is about saving lives against big tobacco. this case is not over yet. >> that is significant. thanks so much, nick valencia. appreciate that. new details on the deadly conflict in the middle east. israel and gaza both mourning the deadliest day for both sides in this wave of violence. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms...

he had told me that he was in rapid city, south dakota, that he might be coming to town to fort pierre, south dakota. i did not reply. i went to school the next day, and a couple of my girlfriends in my grade had said, this kevin guy keeps contacting me. i was like what? it was basically the same thing, like, do you know tori deal? i went to school with her mom. would ask him to hang out. continue to tell them how beautiful they were. i said, seriously? he's saying those things to you? so i asked for the number and i said you need to stop texting my daughter and her friends. that's just not cool. you know. they're 20 years younger than you. you just don't do that. he responded sorry, i understand. no hard feelings.

i thought, that was the end of it. it was shortly after that when she told me kevin wasn't stopping, and i googled his name. i had sent her this text, get on the computer and block that kevin. tell your friend, too. he just got out of prison for raping a young girl. now! tell everyone. >> wow, be sure to tune in for "the hunt" right here on cnn tonight. 9:00 p.m. eastern. much more straight ahead in the newsroom. and it all starts right now. hello, again, everyone
