a ceasefire between israel and hamas is in effect this hour. days of deadly bombardment have killed hundreds of innocent civilians. the question is will the truce hold. a live report is straight ahead. >> this picture is family's last recorded memory takingen on flight mh 17. now many people only have memories as they try to deal with unspeakable grief. >> many questions about the crash in mali, but the recovery of the flight data recorder brings hope that some answers will be found.

>> thank you for joining us. along with george howell. it is 9:00 in israel and gaza where a ceasefire has been in effect for the past hour. >> israel and hamas treated rocket fire and air strikes until the last minute with large and powerful explosions in gaza. this truce is scheduled to last until 8:00 p.m. local time, 11 more hours. >> we have live pictures for you now from gaza where you can see some barely visible homes. relatively quiet since the ceasefire began and not so right up until the very minute it began. of course this pause in the fighting is meant to bring medical supplies into gaza and many wounded to be evacuated. israel said if hamas breaks the

truce it will respond. quite fragile. >> john vaus is in jerusalem. from your vantage point, we see smoke still billowing. what do you understand? >> reporter: joe, so far, so good. we are an hour in and it is relatively quiet there in gaza. certainly in gaza city. cars are back out on the streets and shops are expected to reopen. medical teams are expected to go to the areas they couldn't reach because of the fighting. residents report they could hear drones in the skies above gaza. we are hearing from the ministry that before the ceasefire came into effect, 16 members of the one family were killed in the city when an israeli tank shell hit their house. in the hours leading up to it,

there is an uptick in operations in the northern part of the gaza strip. we saw that here live. that seemed to be the sound of gunfire, but both sides are holding their fire. george? >> talk to us about the dell wait work here by the secretary of state. john kerry pushing and getting this 12-hour reprieve. talk to us about how difficult it will be to get a longer lasting peace. >> this 12 hour period is crucial. the way the secretary of state john kerry explained it, this is a down payment. if this works out, maybe it can be a down payment towards the longer seven-day truce when both sides can get and work out the complicated issues. the security issues and the demilitarization and reopening the borders what hamas wants. keep in mind john kerry was in

the region for five days and he shuffled between countries and met with international leaders and held phone calls late into the night. marathon hours were worked trying to get these two sides to come to agree to something. the best he could do was a 12-hour lull in the fighting. those negotiations continue in paris today. the israelis and palestinians will not be there. a question whether or not qatar's foreign minster will show up. he was considering whether or not he will attend and the reason why qatar is so important, right now qatar has the most influence over hamas. it used to be egypt, but there is a new government that had a track down on the muslim brother road and as far as they are concerned, hamas is a palestinian version of the muslim brotherhood. qatar is key when it comes to

dealing with hamas. these negotiations need to continue. >> the groups working trying to hit a longer lasting peace and a delicate situations. thank you so much for your reporting live from israel. meantime, conflict on another front as palestinian protesters filled the streets of cities in the west bank on friday. the senior international correspondent as more on that. >> funerals in gaza now funerals in the west bank. this for 20-year-old mohamed who was killed in a protest in the refugee camp. as anger rises in the west bank and jerusalem of the mounting civilian death toll in gaza, in ramallah supporters of other palestinian factions rally in solidarity with the people of gaza. we will not surrender, vow this

his face for fear of retribution. we don't want some station to sing songs for gaza. we don't want talk. we want action. palestinian parliament sees a third in the making. >> we're need peace by ending palestinian oppression and allowing palestinians in gaza and jerusalem to be finally free from israeli oppression and occupation. >> as the war in gaza rages, a new generation in the west bank is joining the fight. in the absence of peace or a peace process, this is the alternative. ben wedeman from the west bank. >> the news continues. a family in the netherlands struggling with the news that they had loved ones on flight 17. >> and a haunting reminder of

were dutch citizens. that country is also taken the lead in the investigation. meanwhile the organization for security and cooperation in europe said pro russia rebels indicated they are growing weary of having investigators at the site and they want their work to be wrapped up. >> the netherlands and australia are trying to negotiate with the separatists to allow access to the disaster scene and they will want more time there than the separatists want them to have. the united states, ukraine and the west suspect them of bringing down the plane with the surface to air missile. the separatists deny they are responsible. family in the netherlands has been forced to say goodbye to three members. one of them is a 4 yore old girl. before their lives ended aboard flight 17, they left loveds with one final gift. we have the heart breaking

coffins come off the plane, you said there they are. >> the first ones. >> that has to be them. >> do you blame anyone for what happened? >> yes. the man who hits the button to start the racket to blow up the airplane. i could kill him. >> not far away, the house stands empty. their car parked in the driveway. the makeshift memorial on the front porch. a grandmother's last moment remembered. as she was cycling from the house before the family left f their trip, she said she turned to see her granddaughter who

waved and said -- >> i love you. bye! >> now all they have left are memories. erin mac laughlin, netherlands. >> tragic. >> lawmakers are debating whether or not to send armed forces in to protect experts at the crash site. unarmed military police have been deployed alongside special investigators, but some say that's not enough. >> a peted debate in the house of commons today as members of parliament gatherer to discuss whether or not to send armed personnel to guard the crash site where mh 17 was shot down in eastern ukraine and allow them to do their job. the simple job that should have been a forensic investigation and collecting the remains of

the passengers and crew on board. it has been a long week trying to get access to the site. this weekend they will be discussing whether or not to send armed personnel. this afternoon from the military base, we understand 40 military personnel will be headed towards ukraine to help with that investigation process and research, but they want to send armed personnel and the opposition calling on him to put more pressure against russia, saying that holland needs to change attitudes towards russia. other members are asking whether snipers should be sent to guard allowing investigators to do their job. let's not forget what this is all about. all those coffins that are now being delivered back to the military base with precision and a beautiful ter moany. military koritage bringing them by one into the houses.

they made their way to the base where they will be identified. the frustration is that the rest of the remains are not being able to be brought back from ukraine to the netherlands to be reunited with family members. a decision is expected by monday. cnn, the hang. >> it is amazing what these families are having to go through and that situation, that scene there in that field is not secure. unbelievable. the worst case scenario is confirmed in the country of mali. >> there no survivors from the jet that crashed there on thursday. we will have the latest on the investigation coming up. >> this couple is among four journalists detained in iran. authorities have yet to give reasons for their arrest. we will have more ahead here.

the french president hollande confirmed there is no survivors in the jet crash on thursday. 116 people were on board. french soldiers secured the crash site located in a conflict zone. the plane was on the way to alger algeria. the number of french victims has been revised up to 54. president hollande said a flight data recorder has been found.

listen. >> translator: an investigation is under way into the cause of this tragedy. one black box has been found. it is being brought in and will be examined as soon as possible. >> the plane was flying in bad weather, but president hold said it's too early to determine what caused the crash. we have more from paris. >> air algerie flight early thursday morning with at least 116 people on board. shortly after the pilot had to divert from the original route due to bad weather. 47 minutes later the plane dropped off the radar. now a research people in mal icon firmed the worst. >> translator: indeed the mission found on the site, pieces of the plane. this team found on the site sadly remains of dead bodies. we were not able to evaluate

what the situation is as night began to fall and this team confirmed that it has seen the remains of the plane totally burned out and scattered on the ground. >> meanwhile the french foreign minster vowed to investigate what happened to the plane. the plane's usual route northward would have taken the large areas of mali including to the north. a stronghold of islamic groups. it is believed they have now been swept back by french and african troops. early speculation about the cause is focused on bad weather in the region where it is currently rainy season. cnn's meteorologist said there were tropical storms in the area. to add to the conditions, this area presents a difficult and perilous terrain. it is area is vast and remote

and the heart of the activity. this making it difficult to ascertain what happened to flight 5017 and making it impossible to bring closure and peace of mind for loved ones. cnn, paris. >> after a break, in the western pacific tropics, it could be a busy week ahead. we have that from the weather center. >> sometimes we get a nice break and ramp things back up. we could be just as you said. we could get a couple more names added to the list. it goes from a very quiet pattern through the early part of the year and look at that. it spikes up through august and september as conditions become a lot more favorable for these things to develop. we are in typhoon season which of course is the same name as you would call a hurricane, but just a different basin.

the same tropical system. this could be the next tropical depression that turns into a tropical storm and a typhoon. we will see if it gets there and we are not tracking it. it is impacting with the philippines. one of the computer model forecasts. that's over the next 24 to 48 hours. safely away from the philippines, but not to impact you. we have the enhanced monsoon as extra moisture gets pulled and you will see good downpours over the next couple of days. we will track it to see where it heads to the north. it goes up through japan and it has been busy. we will have another system that we will keep an eye o. showers and thunderstorms continue. the downpours here. the wet weekend will continue in the next couple of days. i will leave you in india where the monsoon has been terrible.

we are a quarter below where we should be and doing much, much better in the last few weeks. just a very dry start. they need the rain there bad low. >> authorities in iran acknowledged the arrests of three journalists. four are being held by officials. "the washington post" said the tehran bureau chief and his wife are among those in custody and there is growing concern for their well being. we have more from tehran. >> these are groups that have a lot of rights groups concerned. not just here in iran, but around the community. they knew the individuals who have been detained. let's tell what you we know. it's not much at this point, but according to the "washington post" and the iranian government official who spoke to cnn, 4 officials were arrested on tuesday night.

at least three of them dual nationals. iranian americans and three of them are journalists. among those detained, a journalist who is based out of tehran since 2008 working for "the washington post" as a bureau chief since 2o 12. he has an excellent reputation as a professional. also jason's wife. the other two individuals have idea to be detained. what's troubling a lot of people is that there is no information about these individuals's whereabouts and conditions. the state department out of washington released a statement saying they are aware of the departmented detentions. the only movement is the judiciary who confirm and said they will have more on the arrests after a technical investigation has been completed. over the past 35 years, authorities here had a rocky relationship with international

journalists. it hasn't been unusual to harass, pressure, and sometimes kick out journalists, but over the past year relations have improved under the president's scene, but there is a lot of growing questions about the arrests. unless they are answered soon, this issue could be bigger and potentially undermine the delicate relationship that has been established between washington and tehran. cnn, tehran. >> ahead we continue with the top story. we will take you back to the ceasefire between israel and hamas. >> so far it is holding and how john kerry is working to turn a 12-hour pause into a week long truce. >> medical workers in gaza. the horrors of working inside an emergency room. we will show you after the break. ugh cash back ank of america to pitch in for an industrial-sized smoker. before earning 1% cash back everywhere, every time.

are being invited to the french foreign ministry. 54 french nationals died when the plane went down. president hollande confirmed there are no survivors. >> more on the top story. the 12 hour ceasefire in effect between israel and gaza. we have seen smoke rising and it's unclear where it is coming from. both agreed to stop fighting until today to allow medical supplies into gaza and to get the wounded out. >> u.s. secretary of state john kerry is heading to paris to push for a longer truce. the u.s. is said to be taking the lead in laying the ground work for a week long ceasefire that will begin on sunday. >> it is a delicate process, but if the current ceasefire holds, doctors will have a moment to breathe and tend to the thousands who have been wounded. with overwhelmed hospitals, many

have been unable to get proper care. we visited an emergency room in gaza and we want to warn you some of the images in this report may be disturbing. . >> dead-on arrival. the horror, civilians and medics at breaking point. >> we feel exhausted. >> no time to rest. it's a cram bell to rescue survivors. they sold us not to film this casualty. perhaps he was a militant fighter. most on the operating table at the european report are clearly noncombatants. the patient is a female and they have shown on the x-rays she has a basic fracture on her leg.

that was caused by a rocket blast. the surgeon's focus, the blink of a patient's eye. the beep of vital signs. the doctor is sick of it. sick and told me of stitchings mutilated by shrapnel. sick. >> we received 61 patients. we don't have enough beds and what if we receive more. >> down the hall way, they patch up a toddler and they say the rest of his family is dead. bone and brain surgeons do skin grafts. they can't transfer him to a plastic surgeon. medicine and supplies are running low. >> if there was one more week or more than this, we won't have

enough for the injuries. >> the fight has been a dirty war. no sanctuary for the minute. >> it is very dangerous. noplace in the gaza strip and not even one square meter is safe in the gaza strip. >> the doctor is afraid he like others could be killed at any time. he carries his id everywhere. >> you are preparing for death as well? >> you have to prepare 24-7. >> days with amputated limbs. a child with head trauma battling to get up. many medics say only faith can keep them on their feet. >> we have got to get them to work. even if we work 20 hours continuous. >> but even the call of god

drowned out by agony. cnn, gaza. >> israel has been protecting itself during the days from gaza rockets with the help of the state-of-the-art missile defense technology known as iron dome. it's now making improvements to the system. >> just as hamas increased the range of its rockets being fired out of gaza towards places like jerusalem and tel aviv, israel improved the success of its iron dome missile sufficiency system launched only about three years ago. so much so that now they are claiming 90% effectiveness in neutralizing the threat. how does this thing work? there three key phases. first the detection phase. we mean every time a rocket is launched headed towards israel, a series of radar systems and high tech cameras start looking

at the things, figuring out how big and fast they are move and what direction they are headed. almost at the same time the analysis and targeting kicks in. the same systems working with computers determined where these rockets will wind up if one is headed off into the water or a rural area where there not many people. they let them go. if one is deemed to be a real threat, then the third kicks in. the direction phase. what that means is those tracking systems communicate and each missile is about ten feet long and carries 24 pounds of high explosives launched towards the threat. they are guided up to it and blow apart everything in the airspace. this is not cheap. it was developed by a company and the united states kicked in $235 million to fund and operate

it. each of these missiles is about $62,000. israeli officials will tell you in this conflict, they think it's money well spent for a system they now consider absolutely essential. >> 38 more coffins from flight 17 are expected to arrive in the netherlands today. this was a similar transfer on friday. the majority of the people on board were dutch citizens. the netherlands has taken the lead into the tragedy and the process of identifying the victims could take weeks or months. they are giving everyone their due as these coffins with the bodies inside return home. >> the grand task of victim certification being handled by forensics experts. for more on what they will rely

upon to complete that duty, here is doctor sanjay gupta in the netherlands. >> after more than two days of lying in fields covered with debris and temperatures in the high 80s, the first shreds of dignity appeared. 200 body bags to be placed in simple wooden caskets. how many souls inside? no one can say for sure. 160 plus miles on rail through the plains of eastern ukraine before flying another 1300 miles to the netherlands where the plane originally departed. they were greeted by the king and queen as casualties of war. 298 casualties from a car they never fought.

40 simple caskets on wednesday and 74 more on thursday. dutch officials saying all of the remains to be brought here to the military base over the next two days. 75 investigators represent countries and the person who is were aboard the plane. those investigators with the task of going through the remains, trying to identify them. they will rely on basic things. clothing and jewelry and anything unique about the person. dental and medical records and finally the gold standard which will be dna analysis. >> there bodies and body parts coming our way. all bits must be examine and it must be precise. you don't top the give the wrong body to the wrong family. >> years after the oklahoma city bombing, a woman was discovered to have been buried with another victim's leg. 60% of those who died in the world trade center were ever officially identified.

years after hurricane katrina hit, the city of new orleans still has 31 unidentified remains. it is a science, but not a perfect science. in the direct aftermath of the crash, imagine workers, volunteers and rebels move freely about the site. >> we're don't know where each set of remains were recovered from. that will hamper some of the information that might otherwise be coming from the remains themselves. >> none of this is easy. for the families or the investigators. we know the remains may be charred or fragmented. that degrades the quality of the dna. if families were traveling together, their dna pool may be gone forever, making matches nearly impossible. none of this is easy, but all of it necessary. the primary goal is not investigative, legal, or medical for that matter.

they are afraid and scared. they think outsiders are bringing ebolla to them instead of trying to help them get rid of it. the key is community leaders and religious leaders and we are working hard to convince them that they should collaborate with us in educating their communities. >> the clinic in guinea was attacked in april, forcing the group to abandon the mission and the red cross facility had to be closed after they threatened the health care workers. there more fears of the disease spreading further east after a man hospitalized died according to news agencies. he collapsed shortly after arriving from liberia. doctors confirmed he tested positive. ebolla is a frightening disease because it kills up to 90% of the people it infects and there is no treatment or vaccine available. it is transmitted to humans from

bodily fluids of infected wild animals and spreads through contact with blood or other bodily fluids. michael holmes, cnn. >> back in the united states, the focus is on the border where children, someone else's children continue to come across the border. it is a growing problem for the country. a north american summit convened friday on this issue. u.s. president obama and his counter parts from el salvador, honduras and guatemala discussed the tens of thousands of children flooding the boarder and talked about possible solutions that include a program to consider asylum applications in the children's home countries and providing u.s. funds to help those countries disrupt human smuggling networks. many of the children who arrived will have to return home. u.s. immigration officials said

severe winds and isolated tornados for this part of the united states. out to the west, nothing to do with that system. this is just the monsoon here blowing up the thunderstorms. the outflow of winds that come out of the storms, that's enough to cause trouble. phoenix dust storm under way. at one point we are told 50-mile wide dust storm or ha boob as it is known. 3,000 feet. imagine that coming at you from any direction. it's a frightening sight. this is just another day and phoenix is used to it. they get plenty of ha boobs throughout the season. let's check in across the rest of the world in europe. here it has been the sporting event. quiet for romania and severe flooding for them. this is across northern italy, but it is in france where we are
