no let up in the bloodshed between israel and hamas and word the cease fire negotiations could break up all together in the hours to come. we are live in both gaza and jerusalem. as u.s. fighter jets pound isis fighters in northern iraq, president obama warns of a possible extended air campaign. the ukrainian army closer ever still to the rebel stronghold of donesk. the rebels say they are not going anywhere.

>> thank you for your company. we begin with the crisis in gaza. this just in to cnn, palestinian negotiators giving a heavy hint they are losing patience with israel. the talks in cairo not picking up since the two sides failed to renew a cease fire that expired on friday. >> fighting rages on with militants firing rockets in to israeli territory. israel continuing to launch air strikes in to gaza. >> i want to bring in correspondents we have in he ve region. . let's start with john monitoring developments in hard-hit gaza. the palestinians stuck around after the cease fire ended or was broken. the israelis left the palestinians have been waiting for them to come back. looks like that could end.

>> yeah, really looks like it is coming down to crunch time as far as finding a diplomatic solution to end the fighting here. the israelis left as scheduled after the cease fire ended. the palestinians stayed. while it may seem odd one side left and the other was still there, well, the palestinians, the delegation there made of hamas and islamic jihad and other factions continue to talk to the egyptians. the egyptians were mediating these negotiations there in cairo. while the palestinians were still there, there was some hope that maybe this could get back on track. the talks weren't looking good but they weren't dead, at least while the delegation remained in cairo on the palestinian side. now we are hearing from hamas, essentially putting out an ultimatum. they want the israelis back there within 24 hours. and they want the israelis to agree to their demands. this key demand is a seaporter

in gaza. they want and accused the israelis of stalling, not negotiating in good faith and there are warnings that unless these negotiations do resume with the israelis willing to talk seriously about the issues, as far as hamas and the other palestinian delegates are concerned then the fighting will resume and it will quite possibly escalate. we know the israelis have said over and over again they will not negotiate while under fire and the rocket fire does continue. also the israelis are saying they want gaza to be demilitarized. they want hamas to be disarmed. we know that from the hamas military wing that also is a nonstarter. >> not promising. let's go back to the back and forth. bring us up to date on what is happening there overnight. this sort of suggestion by hamas they may want to ramp things up. given the pummelling they have,

one would be surprised they have the capability but that's what they are saying. >> yeah, what we have seen over the past -- i guess since the cease fire ended on friday or was broken hours before, there seems to have been limited air strikes carried out by the israelis. in fact since midnight, over the last nine hours israel has hit 20 targets in gaza. that's a relatively low number compared to previous weeks. and we understand, according to the israeli defense forces that only two rockets have been fired from gaza in to israel. they landed in empty fields in the southern part of israel. what seems to be the case is that since see cease fire ended on friday, islam ic jihad and other groups are taking responsibility for the rocket fire, not hamas and it seems they are the shorter-range rockets, possibly the homemade varieties that don't have a long range but now there seems to be an indication that hamas may

ramp this back up and of course they have the much more sophisticated longer-range rockets that have the ability to reach israeli cities like tel aviv and haifa. and with the threat these negotiations do not get back on track in cairo the rocket fire could continue. there's an assessment that maybe they have 3,000 rockets left in their arsenal. there's still some fire power there. michael? >> john, thanks. moving to jerusalem. that's where we find senior international international correspondent standing by. as we heard from john, palestinian gosh yalters seem to be losing patience with israel. israel said time and time again they will not negotiate while under fire but the firing has continued. is there any hope the talks will resume in cairo? >> that hope is certainly dimming today. i can tell you -- i just got off

the phone with an israeli official who is not authorized to speak to the media publicly, but basically what we are hearing is, hey, look, this was supposed to be be a two-pronged process. first cessation of fire and then negotiations to extend the cease fire. because the firing continues the israelis say from gaza, they cannot continue to have these talks. and, yes, the palestinians, all factions, are losing hope and looking at the situation and saying look, the israelis do not show up, they are not serious about the negotiations we will leave cairo today. we know there is a regularly scheduled meeting here between all of the politicians that normally has had -- the cabinet meeting in an hour and a half and we may hear more after that regularly scheduled meeting about what it is israel is planning to do. they have been clear over the weekend that if the firing continues that israel's not prepared to sit down and have

talks. if the firing stops, then they will start negotiations again. palestinians saying we don't feel you are serious. you haven't met any of our demands. you haven't responded to our recent demands and some of the ones on the teenage all along. therefore, we are looking at leaving cairo and going back to our leadership to decide what to do next. >> the palestinian delegate said on saturday that both sides were very far apart when it came to these negotiations, but the egyptian foreign ministry says the contrary that the two sides are actually pretty close on most issues. what is the reality, at least from the point of view, from israel? >> it depends who you ask, i think. this is not abnormal. when you have these kind of negotiations you have a lot of people saying a lot of different things. until agreement is made and until you hear from both sides, or in this case several

palestinian factions and the israelis who both agree on a few points, you just never know. i think ultimately what we are seeing here are a lot of different ideas of how it was going, but the truth is the negotiations have stopped. the cease fire has certainly stopped. and the fighting continues. that's one thing we are seeing clearly. 20 strikes overnight by the israeli military in gaza. at least two rockets since midnight have come over. and since the cease fire the israeli forces say there have been more 100 rockets from gaza toward israel. three people injured here and more than five people killed in gaza during this latest round of fighting. the u.n. has said we have to find a solution. this firing on each other has to stop. right now what is clear is that the fighting does continue. >> the latest there from jerusalem. thank you. with no sign of a resolution in sight one month in to this conflict.

>> from one crisis to the next, american warplanes pounding isis positions in northern iraq. >> the u.s. says four air strikes on saturday destroyed isis armored personnel carriers and armored trucks in the sinjar area. the strikes killed at least 16 islamic fighters who were attacking kurdish check points. u.s. officials said they were made to defend them stranded in the mountains. president obama warning of an extended air kman against isis but no specific timetable. cameras capturing the desperate situation in northern iraq as kurdish troops deliver aid to members of the jazz dissect who are post persecuted by isis for not adhering to their brand of fundamentalist islam. while meeting with white house reporters on saturday,

president obama rejected criticism that it was a mistake for him to pull u.s. combat forces out of iraq almost three years ago. not that he had much choice given the choice of the nuri al maliki government at the time. he was asked if he had underestimated the abilities of isis fighters in iraq. >> did we underestimate? i think there is no doubt they are advanced, their movement over the last several months than the intelligence estimates and the expectations of policymakers, both in and outside of iraq. >> president obama also said iraqi security forces far away from baghdad did not have either the incentive or the capacity to hold their ground against the aggressive advance of isis as we have seen in recent weeks.

britain and france say they will join the united states in the air drops of humanitarian aid to iraqi civilians. in the north, hammond said his government will provide $13 million in humanitarian aid. >> the wider the humanitarian effort can be the better, the more support we have, the better in terms of the quantity of humanitarian aid that can be delivered. also around the political message that it sends that the world is horrified at what is going on in iraq, and is determined to provide all the support it can. >> iraqi kurdish forces have opened a road that provides something of an escape route for some civilians trapped on sinjar mountain. food and water now getting through to tens of thousands of others who can't use the road and are still stranded. ivan watson reports from the

northern city of erbil. desperation on a mountain top. kurdish civilians, some clearly wounded baking in the august sun. this little girl crying, i lost my sister and a brother. where's my mother? with every passing day, kurdish officials say more people die here of dehydration and exposure to the extreme august heat. kurdish officials say tens of thousands of people from the yazidi religious isis have the yazidi surrounded. they have them relying on food from the forces. thpt delivering assistance to the same area. a lucky few make it on the flight to safety.

not far away, isis militants have been celebrating their advances, showing off their control of the mow sul dam, a piece of iraqi infrastructure. if it breaks, it could flood all the way down to the capital baghdad. further east, u.s. air strikes appear to have slowed the isis advance. bombing suspected isis positions west of the river. 20 minutes from erbil. >> we are most grateful and express our gratitude and deep appreciation for president obama and the u.s. administration and for the courageous aempl and airmen who are now patroling the skies of iraq and iraqi.

>> it has given them the opportunity to bolster defenses around this fragile sanctuary in the north where hundreds of thousands of iraqis fled to escape the isis advance. >> later in the hour, we will talk about the plight of christians in northern iraq the archbishop of canterbury's representative. and he has been in baghdad many years even under threat to his life. we will talk about the crisis faces christians in iraq. >> this just in iranian news agencies say a passenger plane crashed just outside of teheran. the plane was deployed for a city in eastern iran. at this point it is unclear how many people were on board. emergency crews told a news agency that some 40 passengers have been killed.

ooern ukraine are under mounting pressure. donetsk has been hit hard with heavy shelling during the military's advance. the rebel leader there is vowing to defend the city to the death. since government troops fought to reclaim territory in eastern ukraine, the rebels have been pushed in to strongholds of donetsk and luhansk. a rebel leader says he will consider a humanitarian cease fire to prevent a civilian catastrophe. bill is in kiev and is joining us live. sounds like the ukrainian military may be gaining the upper hand. >> it depends on who you get the

information from. the rebel leaders have put out their own statement saying the ukrainian military may have done nesk and lufhansk rebels take pride they have been hold off the troops. you heard the rebel leader reiterate that they are prepared to fight street by street to keep the stronghold. the ukrainian are military continued to shell and with mortar attacks that caused a lot of damage. we are seeing pictures of homes destroyed. apartment buildings up in flames. what's so sad here and what all sides can agree on, the people caught in this middle of this, civilians, tens of thousands of people directly in the line of fire here. these are people who now for more than a week haven't had any new food supplies coming in. their power is cut off. they don't have water.

they don't have any way to communicate with the outside world. these are families struggling right now. you have the rebel leaders calling for a humanitarian cease fire. you have the ukrainian government saying they would be willing to accept humanitarian aid. only if the aid is an international convoy escorted in the rebel areas by the ukrainian military through ukrainian controlled check points, something the rebels have said all along they obviously would not support. they don't want the ukrainian military moving in to their area. it's a complicated situation. as you see in military conflicts like in the real people are the real victims here. >> clearly deteriorating humanitarian situation there as you say. the constant fighting also prevented investigators from reaching that mh17 crash site. they get there and have to leave when the fighting starts to break out near where they are. is a cease fire likely at this point? where do negotiations stand if

there are any 0 at this point. >> no cease fire right now at this point near the crash site. we know the shelling was happening 150 meters from where these investigators were at one point. what they were saying as a of last night is they had though choice but to pull out of eastern ukraine. most heading back to the netherlands. there's a small forensics team here in ukraine right now trying to do what they can to analyze the remains they were able to recover. the situation on the ground now is relatively unchanged since flight 17 went down. you have this plane. you still have the remains of some of the passengers sitting in the heart, right in the middle where the fighting is happening around them with no safe way for a team of international investigators to get in there. >> will riply from kiev. thank you so much for that. plenty more to come here on cnn. the polls have opened in turkey. >> the prime minister faces two

we are living in tragic conditions, no one is opening a door for us. we have no food and nothing to drink. we are displaced people, people are ill, an elderly man died yesterday. i don't know what else to say. we do not need anything. we just need a solution. we want to return to our homes and die there. let them kill us or we want a solution. the children are dying. >> even before isis, iraq's christians had been the target of violence. prior to the u.s.-led invasion in 2003, it is estimated some 1.5 million christians lived in iraq. today the number has shrunk dramatically. experts believe only 400 to 500,000 christians remain. seen numbers as low as 200,000 in some estimates. many have fled the doesn't all killed in militant attacks.

reality is that under the dictator saddam hussein those christians were protected from sectarian violence when he went the sectarian violence hit home. we want to get more on the plight of christians in northern iraq. i'm joined by the chaplain of saint george's church in the iraqi capital, the archbishop of canterbury's representative to the middle east and known i as the vicor of bad dad. good to have you on. we hoped to have you on skype but that isn't working. we got you on the phone. you just got back from erbil. i want you to tell us what it was like there for the christian population. we are covering the yazidis, as well but for the christians in that part of the country, it's the oldest continuous christian presence anywhere in the world, i think, in that part of the country.

>> we have been trying to meet the needs of the christian community. it is absolutely terrible. you can't describe the nature of what they have suffered. and those who escaped are the fortunate ones. literally five minutes ago, on this very phone i was trying to arrange to buy back girls who had been kind of islamic market. so everything is more than terrible. >> where did that happen? where was this sale? >> it is happening at this very

moment. >> that is extraordinary. and the deaths that have taken place, as well, you know, it just defies belief, does it not? what are people there saying they want to happen? >> well, the reality is that people are saying they need to leave today. everybody wants to escape. the problem is now even erbil has closed its doors. so it is even more difficult to get people out to one area of refuge. >> you know. >> i can imagine it is terrifying for christians. evidence in baghdad many times but in 2011 i was there. we did a story at saint joseph's

church. already then so many christians had been oppressed and kidnapped and driven out and in some cases killed. churches had been bomd. the priest had been kid napped himself. he told me horror stories. the christian population in iraq as a whole is threatened, isn't it? >> a lot of food relief has been organized through that church. >> so what happens now to the christian population? not just because of isis but all over the country it is threatened. i think it's the first time in history of christianity there are no christians in mosul for example. >> mosul is a very christian

heartland. one of the priests from mosul said today for the first time in 1600 years there have been no mass today. it is actually horrendous. fighting from the sky, isis -- >> what is? >> sorry. >> what is then? if the air strikes aren't

helping? >> the air strikes are helping contain isis. but we need to be able to move the christian community. need to be able to get for them to be allow ed in kyrgyzstan an the national community to help with the christian and then help them get down to iraq. this is a major, major crisis. where we need relief and. >> i know the answer you are going to give but you yourself have been under great threat in iraq. you have stayed throughout. are you going to stay?

>> i will not leave here until the last of my people is gone. i don't just mean by congregation but all of the christians in this land. i'm not going until the last is gone. >> cannon andrew white, our thanks to you for bringing us that terrible news but for making the world aware of it and for your own bravery throughout the terrible decade or so that christians have endured in iraq and continue to right now. cannon andrew white, thank you so much. >> just a tragic situation. >> it is horrible. >> he said he will not leave until the last of his people -- >> he had just gotten off the phone to try to buy back christian girls who had been put

in an islamic market to be sold as wives to isis fighters. when i was there in 2011 and we did a church, went to this church saint joseph's, just before christmas and they had to have armed guards out the front. both ends of the street blocked off. they had a christmas tree inside but nothing on the outside to celebrate christmas because they were threatened every week with being bombed. >> the numbers, prior to 2003, 1.5 million, dwindling down to a few hundred thousand. >> some are saying 400, 500 thousand. i have seen 200,000 and falling every day. horrible situation for them, the yazidis and everyone in northern iraq at the moment. we're going to be right back. do stay with us. more to come.

welcome back. guinea is reportedly closing its took doors with liberia and sierra leone to try to suppress the spread of ebola virus. david mckenzie has more. >> reporter: the move by guinea seems to be an attempt to stop the flow of this virus to and from its neighbors. it was in guinea where this outbreak began several months ago. serious questions are asked whether enough was done then to stop the spread because now this

outbreak is incredibly complex and the worst outbreak of ebola in history. i put the question to the head of the w.h.o. here in see yar ya leon. were you prepared for this level of outbreak? >> i think one could say we were unprepared for the level of outbreak. we anticipated -- we were using best practices in the region. the previous outbreaks have had 200 at most, 300 cases. this one is unprecedented. >> could this have been avoided? this situation that we are in now? >>. >> the current situation i don't think could have been. there have been scores of doctors and nurses dying from this disease and criticism that

the protocols for safety were not put in place in time. the world health organization says that's a key factorer in stopping the spread of the disease. they have also said people should be screened when leaving this region and going to the rest of the world. now doctors without borders and others are saying what's needed is not words but actions to stop this unprecedented outbreak. david mckenzie, cnn, sierra leone. >> going to switch gears now. the second of three consecutive super moons is set for today. >> meteorologists ivan cabrera is joining us with the details. another super moon. >> you can never have enough superman moons. >> yeah, let's lighten things up on the weather segment as we check in on our super moon. we talked about the flooding

with the typhoons. it is the second of three. we had the one last month and then another one. so if you missed this one in atlanta, i will explain in a second you will get a chance this september. remember there's no circular orbit of the moon. we have an elliptical orbit. sometimes it is further from the earth and sometimes it is closer. when it is closer we call it the pa . the last few years that is what happened. it is 14% larger in appearance. not larger per se but 30% brighter. no question if you have a clear sky you will notice it. you noticed it last month. you sent the pictures and you'll notice it again. if that wasn't enough, look at this, a perseid meteor shower that happens every year july in to august. the super moon will interfere

with that. it will be too bright in the sky. the next few days, once we lose a little moon light there, lie flat on the ground with your feet pointed to the north and east and you will get hopefully a good show. leave you with the pictures from the last super moon we had and hopefully we will get good eye reports. this is from the july 30th super moon. it's going to look the same pretty much. why not send in your photos and we will share them with you here as far as weather conditions across the world. they will be poor in some areas again including atlanta. so i will not be contributing to the reports here because we will have too many clouds but nice toward canada and a lot of good chunk of europe will be able to see this this time around. >> aren't strange things supposed to happen during this time. >> it is not the end of the world or anything. >> strange things are happening but there it is. >> good news once in a while.
