but in the end, people are going to remember him for one thing. being a horrible coward bully. 1968 was one damn thing after another. people were afraid. is our country coming apart? >> . hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm natalie allen. >> good to be by your side at the beginning of the week. a lot to get to for this hour, i'm errol barnett. a late-night emergency meeting at the united nations over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in gaza. we'll take you live to new york in moments. plus, crash investigators are standing by.

new violence in eastern ukraine is keeping them from getting to the scene where flight mh-17 was shot down. >> we want to start this hour at the united nations. that's where the security council recently called for an immediate and unconditional humanitarian cease-fire in gaza. >> an emergency midnight meeting was held about an hour ago. the council's acting president read a statement stressing grave concern over the loss of civilian life. >> the security council expresses strong support for the call by international partners and a secret agent of the united nations for an immediate and unconditional humanitarian cease-fire allowing for delivery of urgently needed assistance.

and they urged all parties to accept and fully implement the humanitarian cease-fire into the aid period and beyond. >> so that was about an hour ago. let's go now live to the u.n. where cnn's senior u.n. correspondent richard roth has been there covering this event. and richard, words coming from the security council hoping for action. but, we'll see. >> yeah, the security council has waited several days to see if any type of cease-fire, peace agreement, anything that would not really make it rush in on a sunday night. but as the violence continues, cease-fires are ignored, charge labeled against counter-charge, the council felt it had to say something, even at this hour. the security council president as you saw read the statement calling for a cease-fire to help with the humanitarian aid getting in. sitting there you saw on different ends of the table the

palestinian representative at the u.n. and the israeli ambassador at theup. let's listen to a portion of the palestinian ambassador, who was not exactly overjoyed that the council was only able to adopt a statement by the council instead of a more forceful resolution. >> they should have adopted the resolution a long time ago to condemn this aggression and to call for this aggression to be stopped immediately, to provide the palestinian people with protection, and to lift the siege against our people in the gaza strip. including depriving our people in the gaza strip from fishing in the sea, which is one of the main sources of providing them with food. >> the palestinian envoy said he'll keep knocking on the door of the security council if the crisis continues. he also said he pleaded for international protection of the people of gaza. this is an idea that has been

out there before but is not something the u.s. would probably go along with over other members inside the security council, wanting to get further iolved in a very volatile crisis. israel's ambassador said he didn't want to talk with the press or security council after the session, he wanted to talk to the world, to alert the people of the world as to what really is happening in israel. >> make no mistake, hamas is not working alone. it is funded by qatar and iran. every rocket flying out of gaza could bear the imprint courtesy of tehran. while every terror tunnel could have a sign that reads, "made possible through a kind donation of the amir of qatar." >> the israeli ambassador said some 2,000 rockets have come into israel, he said they've landed in people's homes, in their garages, in their living rooms, as he tried to relate to viewers or leisteners who might

not have a full understanding of what the israeli people are going through despite the success of the defense system known as iron dome. an agreement on a statement among 15 security council members, but action on the ground doesn't always follow up despite the hour or the emergency need for this statement from the u.n. >> absolutely. and you talked about the fact that they did just issue a statement and the palestinians would like to see a more forceful resolution coming from the security council. what would it take for that to happen, richard? >> the wording would have to be changed. jordan circulated the resolution. jordan the lone arab member currently of this 15-member security council. and the resolution that the palestinians pushed would have called for withdrawal of israeli forces. the language was not balanced enough for the u.s., certainly. and that is why that resolution was never introduced. and there was also a sense as happens in the middle of these heated crises that perhaps more

rhetoric or resolution from the security council is not the best time. but the diplomats have failed. there's still more fighting to go. and the statement had to be agreed to by all 15 countries. but that may be as far as this divided u.n. could go on this issue between israel and the palestinians. >> this was a midnight meeting. did we hear from the u.s. ambassador at all? >> no we didn't, samantha power did attend the meeting, she has been very vocal in her defense of what israel is going through and calling on both sides to stop fighting and trying to appeal for humanitarian aid to get into gaza. but at times the u.s. and the other "wig countries" are going to step aside. late hour, just put the statement out there, get the word out. and live for another day. ban ki-moon, the u.n. secretary-general, will be here in a couple of hours after his trip to the middle east. he will probably talk to the press in about eight hours or so. and maybe the members of the security council. he also failed in his call

for -- vehement call for a halt in the fighting and a lasting cease-fire. >> richard roth for us, one of the last ones staying at the u.n., we appreciate your reporting for us there in new york city. that meeting came after the israel defense forces admitted that one of their mortar rounds hit a u.n. school in gaza last week. >> this is making more people pay attention to what already has been watched around the world. the idf though saying no one was killed in this attack. what's interesting is to prove that they released this video. you look closely on the bottom right corner of your screen, you can see the shell they say hitting an empty courtyard, although it's difficult to tell on the resolution of this quality. a report of theirs ruled shrapnel may have wounded some people taking shelter there. >> u.n. officials say 16 people were killed, so something went terribly wrong here. a cnn team that visited the school hours after thursday's attack saw blood and possessions

strewn along the courtyard wall. >> one of the harshest realities of this conflict is the toll it's taking on gaza's children. helpless to defend themselves, many have been killed in this fighting and as we've been discussing the death toll is rising. it's always difficult for me to see reports like this of children suffering but it is taking place. the report on gaza's youngest casualties. >> reporter: more children than hamas fighters have been killed so far in gaza, according to the united nations. innocent victims of a conflict they were born into. one child has been killed each hour in gaza over the past two days. each of these children had a name and a future and a life that was cut horribly short. >> reporter: they went to the beach to play football. it cost them their lives. four children, aged 9 to 11,

killed by israeli fire. another father loses a son. small bodies carried through the streets of gaza. grief over lives barely begun, yet already over. names of young victims were read tuesday at the u.n. by palestinian observer riyadh mansour. children are often the biggest casualties in gaza and surprising as almost half the population is under the age of 14, in the midst of one of the most densely populated territories on earth there are few place s for the young to ru and hide. even those without visible scars bear invisible battle wounds of trauma. losing parents or homes or simply listening to the macabre soundtrack of a battle fought nearby. with such a large young population, unable to leave

gaza, no one doubts that more small graves will be dug and filled before this fighting independents. paula hancocks, cnn, new york. >> both sides have resumed fighting after a temporary truce was abandoned. a cease-fire on saturday allowed some medical supplies to be brought into gaza, but by sunday, israel called it off after "incessant rocket fire" from hamas. hamas countered saying it had agreed to a 24-hour cease-fire but israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu dismissed their call. >> hamas doesn't even accept its own cease-fire. it's continued to fire at us as we speak. israel has accepted five cease-fires since this conflict began. five. we accepted them and we implemented them. including two humanitarian cease-firesed in the last 24 hours, which hamas rejected as they rejected all the other cease fires. and they've violated them. you say israel resumed its

offensive? no, we didn't resume our offensive. we had a cease-fire, they violated it, now they're violating their own cease-fire. >> it's important to remember israel's ground offensive in gaza was launched in part to find and destroy the tunnels built by hamas. these tunnels are far from holes in the ground as well. they are elaborate and sophisticated. here's martin savidge with more. >> reporter: israel considers tunnels like these such a threat, it has continued working to destroy them even during the cease-fire. so far, israel defense forces say they've discovered more than 30 of what it calls terror tunnels running beneath the border between gaza into israel. finding and demolishing them has been one of the primary stated reasons for israeli troops going into gaza on the ground since hitting them from the air wasn't effective. just how dangerous the tunnels can be is demonstrated in this israeli military video said to show hamas militants firing on

idf soldiers on the israel side of the border after emerging from two tunnels. four soldiers were killed in this attack. the militants were killed by an air strike. this is another tunnel the military says hamas intended to use to attack israel. it reportedly runs for three kilometers or close to a mile and a half underground before emerging on the israeli side. the subterranean passageways are declined with tons of cement, have wiring for electricity, and the military says are used to move men and weapons undetected. you can see the high-voltage electric lines here, the soldier says. it makes it possible to operate powerful machinery like these winches to pull heavy carts. the idf says some of the fearest fighting in gaza has been around tunnel entrances as hamas tries to defend and keep them. destroying them can be just as difficult as their capture. israeli engineers carry out the

time-consuming work, often under fire, using earth movers or carefully placed explosives. israel believes there are still more underground passages like these to be found. and says its military operation in gaza will not be complete until its soldiers literally reach the light at the end of the last tunnel. martin savidge, cnn, jerusalem. >> we'll bring you much more on the crisis in the middle east later this hour on cnn. coming up in about 20 minutes, we'll take a closer look at the fight to get food to the people inside gaza who need it most. stay tuned for that. next, we turn our focus to another major story, the crash of malaysia airlines flight 17. >> after the break, why one week after the crash some investigators are still struggling getting to the scene. the one you want. n woman: but, but jimmy. all of these travel sites seem the same. captain obvious: i always use hotels.com. with their loyalty program, i get a free night

for every ten nights i collect. so they're not the same, because they're different. woman: jimmy look, this one has a king-sized bed. captain obvious: if you're travelling with your grandmother, i suggest getting twin beds. woman: oh, captain obvious, jimmy is not my grandson. woman: man: are you no. jimmy? man: here comes president roosevelt. woman: i hope so. captain obvious: i regret coming here. hotels.com is different like some love is different. feel like a knot. how can i ease this pain? (man) when i can't go, it's like bricks piling up. i wish i could find some relief. (announcer) ask your doctor about linzess-- a once-daily capsule for adults with ibs with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation. linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements. it helps you proactively manage your symptoms. do not give linzess to children under 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help

if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain especially with bloody or black stools the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. bottom line, ask your doctor about linzess today. new information on the day's other big story, the downing of malaysia airlines flight 17. >> of course it's news about the situation getting more and more complicated. this is video posted to social media sunday. at least 13 people, including two children, were killed in fighting between pro-russian separatists and the government. as kiev's troops gained ground and pushed towards the rebels'

stronghold in donetsk, flight 17 investigative teams say it is too dangerous for them to attempt to get to the crash site. >> among those international personnel waiting, some 70 forensic experts and police officers from the netherlands are currently in donetsk waiting for an improvement in the security situation near the crash site. the organization for security and cooperation in europe, the osce, says shelling kept them away as well. however, they say they will try again monday. the government says it's reached a deal with the rebels to allow international police to protect the investigators. >> such a mess. the united states and ukraine say flight 17 was brought down by the separatists firing a russian missile. russia and the rebels meantime have pointed the finger at the ukrainian government for the disaster. and now both kiev and the separatists are accusing each other of attempting to cover up

the truth. >> reporter: rocket fire pounded popular neighborhoods in a deadly day in the ground war between ukraine and pro-russian rebels. separatist forces engaged in a months-long battle for ground reported at least 13, two of them children, were killed in the fighting. bloody battles intensifying and marching closer to the still-unsecured crash scene. one rebel leader in a video statement pledged they'll fight to the end. "we or our own lands," says a spokesman for the rebel unit, "you're garrison will fight to the last bullet, to the last soldier." those battles frustrating and blocking another attempt to secure the crash scene. dutch and australian police who hoped to enter the crash site to collect evidence and bring out more remains were forced to stay out because of the fighting. a regional ground war impeding this international crime scene.

and the contested area, ukraine holds territory to the west and north. russia sits to the east. the pro-russian rebels command the land in the middle. the crash site sits in the town of hrobova. fighting is heading north toward the crash scene. the recent heavy fighting was in the town of horyvga. the clashes are now just miles away. ukraine says it will not fight in the crash site. on cnn's "state of the union," the foreign minister says that's exactly what the pro-russian rebels want, to destroy the evidence. >> and exactly at this moment, right now, the terrorists fighting in order not to let our dutch, australian partners, and our ukrainian experts to the crash site. because their way is simply to

disrupt the passage and to wipe out any sort of traces at the crash site. >> both the dutch and australians are determined to reach the crash scene. the dutch are waiting in donetsk, a short drive away from the scene. the challenge amid this brutal conflict is not the will but the how and when. >> we'll have more on flight 17 coming up here on cnn, including a closer look at what malaysia airlines needs to do now to rebuild trust following two major disasters. we'll have that story in about 15 minutes. this hour western governments are pulling staff out of libya as dozens are killed in a new wave of violence. we'll bring you a live update on this developing situation in moments. and a second american doctor falls victim to the deadly ebola virus. an update on the epidemic sweeping parts of africa.

rival militias fight for territory still. >> and here's what's happening. the country's now witnessing its bloodiest chapter since the revolution that toppled former leader moammar gadhafi three years ago, can you believe it's been three years. the country still struggling to

pull itself together. witnesses reported heavy shelling and gunfire near tripoli airport on sunday. officials say at least 32 were killed and dozens wounded in benghazi over the weekend. >> western governments are urging citizens to get out of libya as quickly as possible. the rush on the main airport and limited flight is making it difficult for foreigners to leave. several western embassies including the united states and britain have been evacuated. our correspondent is in cyprus, joining us now on the line with an update on the situation in libya. what can you tell us about the status of security in libya right now? it seems to be just getting worse by the day. >> absolute. it has really reached a very critical stage. we are entering the third week of fighting in the capital tripoli. so far according to the government, 97 people have been killed over the past two weeks and more than 400 wounded. it started with a group of militias attacking tripoli

international airport to try and take over the airport from a rival militia. some of the worst fighting, most sustained fighting we have seen in tripoli since the revolution. the fighting there is concentrated around tripoli international airport. the airport road which is residential areas. and also parts of western and southern tripoli. all sorts of heavy weapons are being used. ground rockets according to residents in these areas. these are heavily populated areas. and really concerned here about this indiscriminate shelling that's going on. very dangerous serious development overnight. the government is saying a shell during this fighting hit a fuel tank in a fuel storage facility on the airport road. that includes 6 million liters of fuel that has created a huge spire. witnesses in tripoli are reporting a big, black, thick plume of smoke. there's a lot of concern about

putting this fire out because of fighting in the area. there are concerns about fuel tanks around it, that this could lead to a massive explosion. the government is saying that this could lead to humanitarian and environmental disaster. they say they have been in touch with other governments, with other countries, to try and help them to put out this fire. now, as for the city itself in tripoli, the fighting has not reached the city center. it has been contained to these areas that we've mentioned. but there's also serious fuel shortage. hours and hours of fuel cuts. and really, because of this fighting, supplies have been impacted. so people are really concerned about this fighting about how long it's been going on, that this could really escalate even further. >> considering it's all so serious right now, and i know the international airport has also been long been apprised of these militias, who are these

groups exactly fighting against one another and is there no local police or security force to speak of? of course libya still trying to bring itself together after the ouster of moammar gadhafi. >> that is the biggest issue, errol. the most -- the biggest problem libya has been facing is that the real power here, the firepower and the power in the hands of militias. the militias currently fighting in tripoli are some of the most powerful in the country. they are former rebel groups that hold the biggest arsenal of weapons in libya. the government has no capability in dealing with them. there's no neutral force on the ground to try and stop this. this is why, two weeks ago, we heard the libyan government, its foreign minister going to the u.n. security council ask asking for international help, saying libya was on the road to becoming a failed state. they're really concerned about an outbreak of all-out civil war with these groups fighting for

power. this power struggle that is now finally playing itself out in a very violent way. they really are asking for more support from the international community, that same international community that three years ago rushed to libya's aid and helped it overthrow moammar gadhafi. the government says that it is powerless and does not have a military or police force it can rely on to try and stop this fighting. a lot of concern, and libyans really feel they're being abandoned by the international community and not enough is being done to help libya from descending into all-out chaos and war. >> sobering assessment there from our correspondent usually based in tripoli, out of the country at the moment, talking about civil war, possible humanitarian crisis, and now a major fire over the weekend that officials are still trying to get control of. we're going to continue to follow this developing story on cnn throughout the days and

weeks ahead. but a serious situation in libya today. natalie? a second american aid worker has contracted the deadly ebola virus in west africa. she was treating patients in monrovia according to samaritans purse, a christian humanitarian group operating in liberia. the other is 33-year-old dr. kent brantley. he's in stable condition in a hospital isolation unit and is the third physician to contract the disease. according to the world health organization, there have now been at least 660 deaths of ebola since march. most are in guinea where the outbreak has killed 314 people in sierra leone, the death toll at 219, and in liberia the virus has claimed 127 deaths. so much of the spread is due to the fact that there's not enough education in these countries. >> ebola spreads so quickly.

we've seen it really affect west africa. we'll continue to track that. we are going to turn our focus back to the malaysia airlines disaster as well. when cnn's special coverage continues, after the break we'll hear from some experts on what malaysia airlines might be able to do to stay afloat. this after a very difficult year for the company, obviously. also ahead, life-saving bread. we take you to a food shelter in gaza that is operating despite dire conditions.

the headlines this hour, in the past few hours the united nations security council wrapped up an emergency meeting in new york about the conflict in gaza. diplomats called for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire between israel and hamas. more than 1,000 palestinians now and 45 israelis have been killed in the fighting. >> this was preceded by the israeli military denying responsibility for anyone killed when a mortar hit the courtyard of a u.n. school sheltering gaza residents. the u.n. says 16 people were killed and hundreds wounded in the explosion thursday. israel admits the mortar hit the courtyard but says it was empty at the time. >> and this is ukraine.

fighting in eastern ukraine claimed 13 lives sunday, two of the victims reportedly children. battles between pro-russian rebels and government forces have intensified in recent days. >> the fighting's kept malaysia airlines flight 17 investigative teams away from the crash site. some 70 dutch police and forensic officials are waiting in donetsk for the security situation to improve. ukraine's government says the crash site remains in the control of "terrorists." so dutch, australian, and european officials hope the situation in eastern ukraine improves, of course. this has more human remains from flight 17 lay unclaimed at the crash site. >> we've just come back from the hotel where dutch police are staying tonight. they have made the dangerous journey south towards donetsk and hope to continue east toward the crash site. despite the negotiations made by

the osce assisting their access to the site with the separatists who seemed to control it at the moment, their route blocked by effectively the violence of war. artillery near that road causing them to turn back. a later attempt too stopped because of the violence continuing here. there has been a remarkable uptick in the military activity around donetsk, the millions-strong city where i'm standing. to the north a town has seen a strong government offensive against it. 13 dead, including two children potentially, video showing how extraordinarily violent that has been. then to the south, we're hearing the ukrainian military and separatists are in clashes around there. the ukrainian military trying to advance it seems, possibly even in the direction of the crash site itself. so this increase in the pace of military activity here coming as international tension focusing on the need to get dutch and australian police into that site to begin the forensic work, to

begin to bring back the personal belongings, the wreckage that all the relatives of those lost on mh-17 desperately wanted to see. the violence here getting worse, not better. making it harder, not easier. >> and as everyone knows, it has been a miserable year for malaysia airlines. the national carrier was on rocky ground even before the twin disasters involving flights 370 and 17. we talked with some experts to get their opinions on how the airline might recover. will ripley reports from kuala lumpur. >> reporter: the number that matters most for malaysia airlines is 537. lives lost in two tragedies just four months apart. the man who once led malaysia's national carrier, abdul aziz, worries about other numbers.

$1.3 billion, money the airline lost in three years, forcing those in charge to look at restructuring plans and possibly another government bailout. >> i don't think they have ever gone through this kind of situation in the past. >> reporter: a crisis coupled with fierce competition. leaner, low-cost carriers are luring some passengers away. >> the business models definitely need to be changed. >> reporter: he says malaysia air needs more low fares, less full service. higher seat count, lower food costs. and he says push for open skies agreements to make international flying easier. >> i think it can survive. they have the foundation. >> two disasters in the last four months -- >> reporter: marketing experts say the battering of the malaysia air brand could take years to undo. >> the airline needs to focus on the process of trying to recreate, rebuild trust, rebuild consumer service confidence. >> reporter: university of nottingham's christine enu says

the key is careful, strategic communication with customers. a strategy that helped other carriers survive crashes, bombsings, terror attacks. >> in order to build trust and confidence you need to open this. transparency. >> reporter: never before has an airline faced a double dose of devastation like flight 17 and 370. two planes, hundreds of lives lost, and 20,000 malaysia airlines workers who now face an uncertain future. will ripley, cnn, kuala lumpur, malaysia. as mentioned the united nations is calling for immediate cease-fire in gaza. more than 1,000 people have now been killed in the israel/hamas conflict. the u.n. saying almost three-quarters of them have been civilians. >> right. and so many children as well. 16 of those deaths happened when a mor tan hit a u.n. school being used as a shelter.

israel has now released footage of that strike as we've been showing you. here's cnn's sara sidner. >> reporter: it was supposed to be a safe haven during intense bombing in gaza. this school turned shelter hit with at least one explosion. shrapnel peppering the walls. the u.n. and ministry of health in gaza says 16 were killed, more than 200 injured, including children, women, and men. filling already overstuffed hospitals. initially both israel and hamas blamed each other for the strike. israel promised to investigate and it did. releasing this video from the israeli military as proof of its conclusion. the shot from high above the neighborhood where the unra school is located. then a dark puff of smoke from where a mortar struck the school's inner courtyard. on a conference call idf

spokesman peter lernor told us a single errant israeli mortar landed in the courtyard of the school. the footage we have shows the courtyard is empty, it was extremely unlikely anybody was killed by the mortar fire, there could have been injuries from the shrapnel, ultimately saying we reject the idea people were killed by idf mortar on the school premises." the statement left many questions. we tried to get answers. how can they possibly know the difference between whether shrapnel killed someone or injured someone? >> first of all, what happened in the school was a tragedy. innocent people were killed. the pictures are terrible. and no human being cannot be moved. the question is who was responsible? and that we have to look very seriously and judiciously and we have to make sure that we get to the truth. >> reporter: he says it was a mistake made in the fog of war and blames hamas for firing rockets from near the school. the video given to the media is low-resolution, making it hard

to see in the shadows. and edited down to only 18 seconds. it doesn't show any rocket fire in the area at the time and doesn't extend to the minutes after the strike when ambulances are said to have arrived. cnn journalist karl penhaul explains what he saw when he got to the scene two hours after. >> there were blood stains, pools of blood, appeared to be against the wall of the main building. that would have been consistent with that being an area that was in shade at the time that this attack took place, bearing in mind that the attack occurred about mid-afternoon gaza time. we saw bits of clothing strewn around that area of the courtyard. >> reporter: the united nations relief and work agency which runs the school is calling for full and transparent investigation. palestinians blame israel for the bloodshed, period. sara sidner, cnn, jerusalem. >> as you can imagine, everyday life in gaza has ground to a

halt amid all this fighting. finding the basics -- food and water -- a daily challenge. more than 80 food shelters have been set up. our ian lee visited one of them. >> reporter: as the sun sets over the gaza strip, one of the largest operations is over. for now. no, it's not the fighting between gaza militants and the israeli military. but this massive mission was borne out of the three-week conflict. the battle-weary civilians must eat. in central gaza city, flour hovers in the air. strong backs initiate the process. 109 metric tons of flour mixed with fresh water. the lifeline of over 160,000 gazans at u.n.-run shelters. with so much food insecurity, only the humming of these machines is constant.

on one side, dough goes in. fresh bread out the other. sorted and packed it's ready to be delivered. micro buses weave through the streets as if they have a 30-minute or less guarantee. finally we arrive at this elementary school for boys -- turned shelter. volunteers unload the truck. all give a helping hand. we meet united nations world food program gaza director raul paleto who leads this humanitarian effort. he explains it's the people who aren't in u.n.-run shelters that keep him up at night. >> we have still a lot of -- a number of people still in the affected areas who have not received assistance of any kind. >> reporter: administrators go through the lists of names and number of family members. tickets are distributed, then

the food. >> i want to give you an idea of how massive a daily operation this is. this is just one school that feeds over 2,000 hungry mouths. right now in gaza, there's 84 shelters like this one. this can't last forever. money is tight and supply routes at times questionable. we just want to return to our homes, this is all we want, we want to live with dignity, this man complains. we'll be here until the war is over. full bellies tonight. tomorrow this will all start again. ian lee, cnn, gaza. >> we got to see one happy clip right there. we'll take it. >> for the day. >> thank goodness the u.n. is helping people get their very basic needs met amid such difficult times. still to come here on cnn --

>> new details for you on yet another major food scandal in china. how some big fast food chains are coping. the likes of mcdonald's. that's after the break. ...for the year. hi. sorry. just want to say, i bundled home and auto with state farm, saved 760 bucks. love this guy. so sorry. okay, does it bother anybody else that the mime is talking? frrreeeeaky!

in california, another deadly beach incident. a rare lightning strike hit famed venice beach sunday afternoon. it killed one man. the coroner's office says it's unclear if he was killed by lightning, drowning, or being trampled by the crowd. a dozen other people were injured, at least one seriously. >> bizarre and rare occurrence there, lightning in venice. in the eastern u.s., severe storms tore across multiple states leaving widespread damage. >> our meteorologist with that and what do you make of that venice beach story? >> lightening can strike anywhere. wrong place at the wrong time. in florida, we're more aware of lightning as it is the capital of the world for lightning. so when people hear thunder they tend to go inside. out there, not as common. this is also not as common. getting so many tornado reports and so many wind reports, unusual pattern that has set up here. it was a terrible day across the eastern u.s.

look at michigan here. completely covered by the hail and wind reports at one point there, upwards of 150,000 people without power. then came the damage with the thunderstorm wind gusts and tornado touchdowns. so let's take you on a tour of the damage. we'll start off i believe in connecticut. where we actually had national weather service able to confirm that is an ef-0 tornado. in connecticut. something you don't see there every day. that also caused some damage. thankfully, besides the lightning strike out there with that fatty, we did not have fatalities in the eastern u.s. as a result of this outbreak here so that is good news. we had one injury but no word of anyone losing their lives. i think people were weather aware of this unusual event coming up. let's take you to another area which did see significant damage here. my goodness, take a look at this in tennessee. numerous homes were flattened,

ten homes on the border of tennessee to kentucky, ten homes reported damage. we're not sure what caused there, whether straight-line wind damage or tornado touching down. residents don't care, their houses are gone and they're in awe of what has happened here on this sunday. now tomorrow, national weather service will be out there and they will let us know whether that was a tornado and what kind it was, as far as the severity. looked pretty bad from some of the damage. the thunderstorms are still going at this hour, believe it or not. the severe weather threat continues to diminish as we get into the night here. still looking at pretty strong thunderstorms rolling through the southeastern part of the u.s. then for tomorrow, we are still under the gun for more severe weather. certainly nothing like we saw on sunday. just some strong thunderstorms that may develop, and in fact we'll pinpoint that. that's going to be developing right along the northern panhandle of florida. say from mobile stretching across north of i-10 and into

parts of wilmington. just this deliver of a potential of large hail and damaging wind gusts. the tornado threat diminishes as well heading into monday. so cleanup continues and we'll keep you posted on that as well. >> the end of a wild weekend of weather, then. >> incredible. >> we are 100 years on from one of the most significant days in modern history. >> that's right. coming up we'll take a look at the events of july 28th, 1914. a landmark leading up to world war i. your 16-year-old daughter studied day and night for her driver's test. secretly inside, you hoped she wouldn't pass. the thought of your baby girl driving around all by herself was... you just weren't ready. but she did pass.

to millions more. >> i don't think anyone realized what this created. and no one understood how essentially just a month between the 28th of june and the 4th of august, how that small period in 1914 would change the world forever. >> reporter: arch duke franz ferdinand and his wife sophie were assassinated during this visit to sarajevo on june the 28th, 1914. serb nationalists were blamed for the killing, seen as an act of rebellion against austro-hungarian conflict. >> that should have been a balkan conflict. to try and crush serb nationalism. however, it escalates because of the alliance system. >> reporter: emboldened by a pledge of support from germany, the austro-hungarian empire declares war on serbia. >> serbia has a very powerful

friend in russia. russia feels it can't stand by and watch its slavic brother crushed by austro-hungary. >> one moment they were declaring war. next minute belgium was invaded, france was invaded. >> reporter: to defend belgium, britain entered the conflict. >> this makes the war global. britain and france have huge international empires. >> reporter: over the next four years, the empires would clash. 16 million people, soldiers and civilians, would die. >> the death toll is almost impossible to understand. it's so huge. really 2% of the world population was killed. so this is a complete disaster for the world population. this is unique people, these are young men, these are practically children. >> reporter: russia suffered the greatest number of casualties. more than three-quarters of its forces were either killed, wounded, imprisoned, or missing in action. a staggering 9 million men.

the austro-hungarian army was decimated with 90% of its soldiers lost or wounded. germany recorded almost 6 million casualties. france, 6 million killed and wounded. the british empire, almost 3 million. >> at its most basic, the first world war is a very human story, a story of people who lived and loved and were cut down early in life in many cases. because of global political bad decisions. >> reporter: then, on november the 11th, 1918, a decision that would finally bring an end to the fighting. germany surrendered. no one had anticipated that the assassination of an austrian aristocrat would trigger a world war. as the allies celebrated the truce, no one believed there would ever be a second. >> after the first world war, everyone said, that is a war to end all wars. it was really thought of as the

great war. and yet, within 30 years, they were at war again with germany. >> reporter: still, even 100 years on, the drums of war rumble once again across the fields of eastern europe. as new battle lines are being drawn, reminding us of the horrors of war. max foster, cnn, london. >> 100 years on, we're still seeing more. >> plenty more war since then. >> that is the first hour. we've got a couple more to go here. please stay with us. i'm natalie allen. >> two more hours of special coverage to bring you. get comfortable, natalie. we'll see you here after this short break. vo: this is the summer. the summer of this.
