-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com we are back and it is so good to have you. i'm christi paul. >> and i'm miguel marquez in for victor blackwell. welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. >> we're glad to have you with us. we begin with you today regarding the conflict between israel and gaza. >> and new this morning an attack near a u.n.-run shelter has led to more deaths according to gaza officials ten people were killed when shells struck within the vicinity of the shelter. it is unclear which side may to be blame. >> the israeli military now says
5:01 am
kadir goldin has not kidnapped rather killed during a blast by a sue identify bomber in a tunnel. hamas believes goldin died in an israeli air strike. >> the death toll continues to rise for both sides. israel says 64 idf soldiers have been killed along with three civilians while gaza officials claim the death toll has now topped 1,700. >> after nearly a month of fighting at this point neither side is showing any signs of backing down. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel will continue its mission to destroy the hamas tunnels no matter how long it takes. >> the leader of hamas tells cnn that israel's actions show that the cease-fire had no meaning and that palestinians have the right to defend themselves. cnn's john vass is in gaza city trying to make sense of it all for us. john? >> miguel, the longer this goes on, the more it seems positions harden on both sides.
5:02 am
now hamas continues to fire the rockets from gaza into israel, 13 we're told at least in the last 13 hours, averaging one an hour, despite the massive israeli military operation which we did hear from the israeli prime minister saturday night it is entering a new phase, some of the tanks and troops are redeploying closer to the border, an indication they're close to finishing, finding and destroying what they know of the hamas tunnel network that was essentially the object of the ground operation that we saw over the last week or so. despite this new phase, the israeli artillery and tank fire continues. number of targets have been hit in gaza city including a market in the last couple of hours, but there also seems to be intense fighting in the southern part of the gaza strip around the town of rfah, ever since this cease-fire unraveled on friday. palestinian officials say more than 100 people died on friday, more than 100 people died there on saturday and now we're
5:03 am
getting word that a u.n. school, which is being used as a shelter has actually been hit by some explosive. the u.n. is not saying what it was, where it came from, who was responsible. all they're saying it there has, in fact, been multiple fatalities there. the number of deaths that we're get something coming from palestinian officials, they say at least ten people have died there. we were down there on friday and people go to the schools because that is where they think they will be safe. now this was meant to be the third day of the cease-fire which never really happened, and during those three days, the israelis and the palestinians from hamas were meant to be negotiating, trying to find some kind of way out of this war but those negotiations are still under way, even though the israelis are not turning up. reza sayeh is live in cairo. without anyone from israel or gaza there, what exactly do they hope to achieve?
5:04 am
>> john f you're a pessimist you might say without the israelis here, this not a scenario with which you can have a true, significant face-to-face negotiations. if you're an optimist, you might say this presents an opportunity for indirect talks, indirect negotiations, and there are growing signs that perhaps that is a possibility, where you have the palestinians in cairo communicating with egyptian government official, communicating their demands, their conditions for a possible cease-fire and egyptian government officials conveying that message to the israelis. we cannot confirm that that is indeed a scenario that we can expect. however, we can confirm that the palestinians have sent two important delegations to cairo, the first delegations arrived last night to cairo, representing the fatah movement, and also including representatives of palestinian intelligence agencies. they came via jordan, and then
5:05 am
this morning according to state media, representatives of hamas, a seven-member delegation arriving here to cairo. the palestinians are not here. the israelis are here, the israelis are in hope you can have indirect negotiations with the palestinians here, john. >> well, as they say, it's always darkest before dawn, so maybe there could be reason for optimism, i guess we will wait and see. reza, thank you. as these negotiations go on, i guess in cairo, without the israelis, the fighting continues here, miguel and christi, and it does continue, we've seen a number of artillery rounds being fired into gaza city, there was a large explosion with a fire just a short time ago. >> john vaus and e and reza say thank you very much. govern rick perry isn't just slapping congress on the border
5:06 am
issue, he's urging bigger support for israel in the conflict. >> it happens that our candy crowley is about to bring us an exclusive interview with the governor. candy, great get. what you got? >> intriguing. rick perry looks very much like he's going to run for president the second time around and he has taken of late to criticizing the president's policy or more attitude toward israel. he's referred to it as calculated ambivalence, and says the u.s. needs to be much stronger on the side of israel. i asked him exactly what that means, what he thinks the president is doing wrong and also ask him about his presidential ambitions as well. >> what else do you have in the next hour for us, candy? >> one of the big stories this week, you know, with he had a lot to choose from had to do with the cia admitting what the director said it would never do, and that is that the cia spied on staffers on the senate intelligence committee. it's a huge story, and there are a couple people, republicans and
5:07 am
democrats, on capitol hill calling for the removal of cia director john brennan. so today we have on angus king, on the senate intelligence committee and chairman mike rogers, who is on the house intelligence committee to sort of bat that around. >> excellent. candy, thank you so much. >> thanks, guys. >> don't forget to stick around for her exclusive interview with texas governor rick perry at 9:00 a.m. eastern only here on cnn. the first known case of ebola is on american soil. we have some of the first pictures of the american doctor kent brantley as he begins the fight of his life against this deadly virus. plus imagine a u.s. biplane playing an aerial game of chicken let's say with a russian jet. i know it sounds like a movie plot but guess what? it's not. we'll tell you what happened. she's still the one for you.

5:10 am
5:11 am
11 minutes past the hour and an american doctor infected with the deadly ebola virus is fighting this morning for his life back home on u.s. soil. >> dr. kent brantley becomes the
5:12 am
first known ebola patient to ever be treated in the states for the infectious virus. >> brantley who contracted the virus while treating patients in liberia landed in georgia yesterday and upon doing so the 33-year-old was then rushed to emery hospital in atlanta for treatment. >> it was more security than a presidential motorcade. this video is absolutely amazing. >> and nobody knew, nobody would have thought. >> they would have suspected he'd be on a gurney or bed or stretcher, instead there he is ambling gingerly out of that ambulance. he was walked into the facility and placed into an isolation chamber upon arrival. amazing. >> we understand his wife was actually watching this on cnn as well and she was there, visited him for about 45 minutes. the couple was separated though by a glass wall but brantley's described as being in great spirits. >> must be a tough guy. the same plane that carried brantley to the states is flying back to liberia to pick up foal low missionary nancy writeblo, she also tested positive for the
5:13 am
virus. another story we are following today the u.s. air force spy plane similar to the one here evaded an encounter with the russian military a day after malaysian airlines flight 17 was shot down. >> cnn's erin mcpine has been following this. lot of people think what was it doing first of all in international air space? >> christi, frankly spying on the russians and president obama says that we are not going back to the cold war with russia, but with episodes like this one, it does feel that way. this u.s. spy plane had to fly into swedish air space without permission two weeks ago to avoid a potential clash with the russians. now, this was one day after the malaysian airplane was shot down over eastern ukraine, and it was a u.s. air force spy plane avoiding this encounter with the russian military on july 18th. now, the plane was an rc-135 rivet joint that was being used to eavesdrop on the russian
5:14 am
military but the russians began tracking it with this land radar, and even sent one fighter jet to intercept it, so that's when the american plane flew into another zone without permission. so the u.s. state department official tells us "we acknowledge a u.s. aircraft veered into swedish air space and will take active steps to ensure we have properly communicated with swedish authorities in advance to prevent similar issues before they arise." there was a similar occurrence in april near japan between the u.s. and russia and in that case there was a near collision, but in this case, the land radar detection the russians used was rare and unusual. russian authorities have not yet commented. christi and miguel? >> all righty, erin mcpike, thank you so much. the crisis in the middle east is unfolding in a region home to the world's three major religions. >> we'll talk to a catholic priest and a rabbi about the religious groups of this deadly conflict.

5:18 am
the conflict in the middle east is highly charged politically and religiously. >> while it may be day 27 in the current conflict, today's battles stem from biblical times and just who can lay claim to the holy city of jerusalem. >> to discuss all of this we bring in cnn religion commentator father edward beck and radio bay matthew gerwtz.
5:19 am
father beck give us a sense of why all sides believe so strongly and have these ties to the holy land. >> miguel i think it's important to remember that these three monotheistic abrahamic faiths believe the same thing, it's one god, love of god and love of neighbor. it's not like the three faiths worship three different gods so the promise of a homeland is for all people. there's not one people that gets to have the homeland. the land doesn't belong to anybody, even biblically. we are stewards of the land. god is in possession of the land so it's up to us to figure out how to live peaceably together and seemingly we're doing a very poor job of that but the notion that somehow we are different faiths warring with different gods is just erroneous. >> rabbi, we've seen political leaders try so desperately to broker peace here. do you believe there should be
5:20 am
some religious voices in those discussions as well? >> yes, i this i that the religious voice has been missing from this debate. i think somewhat for the reason people are trying to figure out how the politicians can work this out. the media of course is courageously on the ground trying to follow all of this. i think religious voices have been speaking within their own communities but not to each other, i think because all of this has caused great fear not just a normal fear, a fear that i would call an existential fear, one that par lieses us and one that has us go and retreat to our own camps. i can tell you that as a jew, i stand four square by my homeland. i am fretting, i am fearful about what's going on there, and i can list a litany of things that are happening to my brothers and sisters who are there, bombs that people are nervous, missiles that are going to fall each day, children who hear voices under the ground, tunnels being built by terrorists, but the bottom line is, we all know that from
5:21 am
history, military operations end, but ideas don't end. peace doesn't end. coexistence doesn't end and the question is, can i hold my fears and hold their fears and somehow come together in dialogue to finally come to a place where we can co-exist, not with hamas, who is a terrorist organization but the everyday palestinian that i do believe somewhere, someplace wants peace. >> this is part of the problem there, rabbi, the moderate palestinians are going to be less possible now to find. father beck, because of the ill will there, because this is the third round of violence many in the last seven years in gaza, the pope has called for peace between all sides. is there just too much ill will? i think most of us can't see a peaceful middle east. >> miguel, i think we always have to hold on for the hope of peace. recently when pope francis, as you know, was in that region and he stood at that wall which some
5:22 am
call a security wall, some call a wall of apartheid. it is probably both. he lowered his head in prayer, and we know that he was praying that someday this wall might be able to come down. i think it was robert frost who wrote "maybe good fences make good neighbors, but bad walls just create suspicion and anger and resentment." you cannot keep a people isolated, blockaded for that amount of time with such oppression and expect it it to have any good result. now the fault is on both sides, but the prayer is of all believing people is that we need to work it out peaceably because we all have a right to exist and coexistence peaceably is our only option. >> rabbi gerwitz, i know both of you lived in israel, but can you give us, rabbi, from your standpoint a sense of the tension and the conflict that you feel living there? >> there's always intensity and always tension, but i want to,
5:23 am
since i'm a rabbi and maybe idealistically optimistic, there are times you walk through the streets of jerusalem and if you do it at the right time, you can hear a confluence of the call to prayer from the mosque, you can hear church bells ringing and hear literally the prayers of people crying in joy and in sadness at the wailing wall all at the same time and just for a moment you could think to yourself, maybe we are meant all of us to live in peace together, maybe able to pray at the same time and to be able to have all of our hopes and dreams fulfilled at the same time. yes, lots of tension but also lots of possibility. i still believe in my heart of hearts to be able to somehow live in peace under the same god under the same roof. >> father edward beck and rabbi matthew gewirtz we appreciate you being here. thanks for taking the time for us. >> good to be with you. as violence in the middle east nears a boiling point, israel and hamas continue to
5:24 am
blame each other for the breakdown of an attempted cease-fire. >> yesterday nic robertson sat down with the leader of hamas and asked him about the collapse of that 72-hour truce. >> translator: a truce is a truce, but the presence of the israeli forces inside gaza and destroying the tunnels means it is an aggression, because they are inside the gaza territories, therefore we told mr. kerry that the palestinian resistance has the right to self-defense, and the right to deal with invading israeli forces. >> now he said chances of a long time truce remains low. >> you can watch that full interview with nic with khaled meshaal at 10:00 eastern on "fareed zakaria gps."

police shot and killed a fire last night in a casino eastern arizona. the unnamed suspect shot through the doors at the honda casino. >> one victim was shot in the hand, another in the abdomen and the motive is under investigation. the ohio national guardsmen called in to help with the state's water crisis, some 400,000 people across northwest ohio are being warned not to use, drink, cook or boil any tap water. the advisories come after a dangerous toxin was discovered in a local water treatment plant. we know the ohio epa is warning it will not know if the water is safe until sometime this morning.

"inside politics" with john king starts now. have a good sunday. a tea party revolt humili e humiliates the house republican leadership again. the speaker john boehner insists the gop is not to blame. >> i'm not going to accept responsibility for the fact the united states senate can't act. >> listen to house members when they're told they have to work one more day on the border crisis before a five-week paid vacation. washington is so broken the president can only joke about ways to cut deals with congress. >> i'll go to them. i'll wash their car. walk their dog.
