i'm paul gigot. hope to see you right here next week. this is a fox news alert. a dramatic escalation of violence in gaza leading to the deadliest day yet for both sides in the current conflict there. hello, everyone. welcome to "america's news headquarters." israel is ramping up its ground offenses and the fight spilling over into a very crowded neighborhood. forcing thousands to flee their homes. john streaming live from gaza city with the very latest. john? >> arthel, we've already seen some action behind us. some air strikes in the distance, probably half a mile, if that, up the road here. seen tracer fire and artillery

fire from offshore, as well. if anything happens, i'll jump in. i'll keep an eye out. let's talk about what happened earlier today. as you mentioned today was the bloodiest day so far of the battle, of the 13 days since "operation protective edge" started. since the ground operation started three days ago. more than 100 people at least were killed here in gaza. 60 at least, at least 60 in one neighborhood alone in east gaza. we went into that neighborhood and saw the destruction, saw the bodies being pulled out, including several children. now, the israeli defense forces have been hitting that area hard because of the, according to military officials, hamas targets there. hamas rocket launch sites in between the various buildings in that civilian area and also the network of tunnels that intertwine, that are intertwined here in gaza under, in many cases, civilian areas. now, on the other side, 13

israeli soldiers were killed. several others wounded during the fighting both overnight and into the morning and afternoon here in gaza and on the israel/gaza border, as well. many were airlifted and choppered out of the battle zone for treatment. the prime objective from day one of "operation protective edge" has to not only go after hamas rocket launch site but to root out the network of tunnels and we've seen the ground offensive expand in regards to that. now, more than 70,000 troops, israeli troops are involved with the operation. we're expecting things to intensify again tonight. as i mentioned in the distance, there were two air strikes i could see to the east. a lot of smoke where there is the battle continues, east gaza, in that area. again, we had some artillery fire coming from offshore. so, right now is just past 10:30. we usually see things start to escalate around midnight. and then as we get into the

2:00, 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m. hours, that's when things really intensify. at this point, it's a little quiet. that's expected to pick up. arthel? >> streaming live from gaza city, john, thank you so much. we go to ukraine where tension over access to flight 17's crash site is heating up. the doomed plane's black boxes have reportedly been recovered, but rebels are said to be removing evidence, including bodies from the crash site. all of this preventing investigators from finding out the exact circumstances of the disaster. streaming live in ukraine with the latest. steve? >> arthel, russian leaders say they may have possession of those flight recorders. at the spread out crash scene still as many as 100 bodies still waiting to be recovered. these men are local minesers. they're trying to help find

pieces of the plane, as well as body parts. we are going to have to be careful here with the images we show you. you're really going to have to take my word for it here. three days in, a terrible smell in this field because bodies and body parts still have yet to be picked up. we're not going to show you the image but just off here to my right there is piece of what is like to be bone, intestine, blood, charred. looked like what to be leg bone here to my left. here comes another body, we've been watching over the past few minutes. body after body come out of this wreckage. keep in mind, this is day three. slow, painstaking work by four or five men by hand. those bodies or body parts simply being bagged in plastic, dropped by the side of the road. some have been taken to morgues on the ukrainian side. some to the rebel side. most still now unidentified. a real source of pain for the victims' families.

>> a number of those body bags have been moved to refrigerated train cars in rebel-held territory. at least at one point this afternoon that train was out of gasoline, no refrigeration working. arthel, back to you. >> steve harrigan, thank you for that report. being waged on many fronts, including on the water. check out the new video from the border showing texas state troopers on boats confiscating a jet ski being used by mexican traffickers to transport immigrants. now, as they took it away, you'll see more men on jet skis beginning to circle the police boats and yelling at the officers. and on land protests both for and against tougher enforcement of immigration laws are being held across this country. all in light of the surge and undocumented immigrants flooding our borders and overwhelming facilities. and to weather now. a huge wildfire now raging out of control in washington state. dry conditions and high winds

helping to fuel the blaze. the fire growing to cover at least 340 square miles in the north and central part of the state. and people living between carlton have been told to leave their homes. fire officials say more evacuations could be ordered. so far the flames have burned down numerous buildings with no sign of being contained at this time. facebook now testing a new feature that will allow users to buy products directly from ads that appear in their news feeds. a new buy button will appear on select ads. so, when you click it, users can purchase the product shown without ever actually leaving facebook. this feature is currently in its test phase. only being used for a few small and mid-size businesses in the u.s. and we go from cyberspace to outer space. america celebrating a major milestone today. 45 years ago, "apollo 11" landed

on the moon. astronauts neal armstrong, taking that giant leap for mankind as the world watched in awe. today nasa is remembering that legendary landing and phil keating is live from the kennedy space center in florida. hi. >> a very special day at the kennedy space center and tonight a who's who from that very unique select few for the "apollo 11" landing dinner. underneath the saturn 5 rocket which remains the tallest, heaviest and most powerful rocket ever to blast off from earth. take a look at today's nasa image of the day. they release these photos every day. today is the eagle en route to the lunar surface. 45 years ago today and commanded by neil armstrong who would soon after make history for the human race.

>> houston, the eagle has landed. >> armstrong and aldrin landed in the sea of tranquility and then canceled their scheduled two-hour nap figuring they had just landed on the moon and probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep. pretty smart. flew the surface module up above. took the three crewmen three long days in that cramped capsule to goon. but armstrong and aldrin really only spent 2 1/2 hours moonwalking bouncing around, collecting rocks, taking photos and leaving those legendary footprints and proudly winning the space race with the soviet union for the nation who was in absolute triumph. >> for every american this has to be the proudest day of our lives.

>> we also spoke with bruce who was coordinator and demand talking with armstrong and aldrin when they were bouncing on the moon. the true legacy is really that when there are worthwhile things to do, we will take the risk and what you call, dave, a very uniquely american trait. also tomorrow there is going to be a building dedication ceremony to rename it in honor of neil armstrong who passed away about two years ago. arthel? >> who needs a nap when you can moonwalk, right, phil? >> yeah, exactly. >> talk to you later, thanks, phil keating. the investigation of the shooting down of malaysian airlines flight 17 as the evidence mounts against pro-russian separatists. the question is, how it could affect our frosty relationship with moscow. if you suffer from constipation, you will likely also suffer from gas. introducing new dulcogas, which starts working to eliminate

the shooting down of malaysian airline flight 17 putting new strains on the u.s. relationship with russia. fox news has learned that u.s. intelligence has uncovered evidence suggesting russia gave the rebels in eastern ukraine sophisticated anti-aircraft systems in recent weeks. one day before the malaysian plane was shot down, president obama announced new sanctions on russia because of its ongoing support for the separatist in ukraine. so, how much more tense are u.s. relations with russia likely to get? joining me now is tom rogan, columnist at "national review" and "daily telegraph." tom, good to see you. >> good to see you. >> what is the effect on the u.s. relationship with russia and talk to me, if you would, about the access the u.s. should be getting that we're not and also is putin to be trusted? >> yeah, it's a great question.

i think the degree to which russian/u.s. relations are going to change in the coming days will be really down to the president and how much he's willing to back away from his previous strategy that we've seen in this disaster has clearly failed. there needs to be a lot more pressure on putin and there needs to be a lot more pressure not simply for the incident that we've seen, but the follow up. the disdain that the russian government shows for those victims and the way the rebels on the ground prevented the investigation from taking place. the russians are trying to cl r clearly cover up what happened. that is tolerable to the united states or to anyone, quite frankly, who believe that blowing people out of the sky is justified. >> who would you like to see from our camp, if you will, go over there to take part in the investigation? >> i think what i'd like to see is a much bigger fbi team. as we've heard in the last few hours that the team on the ground there appears to be only two people strong. now, we know from previous investigations the fbi always has rapid deployment teams

standing by. i'd like to see a larger team go there and i'd like to see them have support either from the fbi hostage rescue team or force protection assets that means they can get there and do an investigation against the facts because, otherwise, as we've seen at the moment, the european investigators have simply been prevented from doing this investigation. >> i have a follow up, but i need to move on. you mention eed what you think the president should do and how he should proceed from here, but how important, tom, is it to get the european leaders involve would the sanctions and of the pack, who is the leader? which euro nation has the most influence or impact? >> it's a critical issue because the vast majority of russia's trading relationships are with europe. the germans are the key pivot. that's going to be difficult because the german economic relationship with russia, especially in energy supplies, is very deep. but the president now has to make a clear statement to the europeans that if the european union, which has its own issues

will survive, clearly they need to take aer stand because it's about poland and international order. syria, you see what the putin regime and it is a regime now is doing. there has to be an understanding that democratic nations cannot allow this to pass. this has to be a wake-up moment. >> what happens if the european nations don't get that wake-up moment that you're talking about. let's say the president does get tougher in whichever regard you think he should and then european nations says, that's fine, mr. president obama, but we have our own business dealings over here that we have to protect. >> then i think what you have to see is a very tough change in terms of policy for the united states moving towards eastern europe. for example, relocating u.s. military bases in germany towards poland because if the western european nations are not willing to stand for the values that we hold dear, that relationship has changed. >> tom, i'm short on time but tell me briefly, how do you think iran is reading how the investigation is being handled?

>> in a catastrophic way. we've already seen the extension of the four-month deadline which i'll have a piece for "national review" coming out tomorrow morning. this is the second issue we've had. no follow oup the president's reaction, thus far, has been incredibly weak and the iranians will be looking at that and taking advantage of it because they're in a regime that rests on the principal of power. >> hey, i want to make sure that everybody understands that as far as the administration is concerned and the secretary is concerned that iran is cooperating with whatever sort of rules that they're changing the game, the u.s., as you know, as they go and secretary kerry says that iran is cooperating. that remains to be seen. tom rogan, thank you so much. we'll look forward to you. you said you'll have a column on this tomorrow? >> i have a column coming out tomorrow morning on "national review" which talks about the

problem with the iran extension. >> tom rogan, thank you so much. so more corporations looking to move their headquarters overseas to avoid america's high taxes now treasury secretary jack lew urging congress to punish these companies, but is that the best way to solve the problem? brenda buntler offers her take, brenda buntler offers her take, coming up next.s. how do i win? because we're streaming the movie that you love. well, how do i win? because we ordered that weird thing that you love from the pizza place. how do you win, dad? because i used the citi thankyou card and got two times the points on alllllll of this. well, and spending time with you guys of course. that was a better answer. the citi thankyou preferred card. earn two times the thankyou points on entertainment and dining out all with no annual fee. to apply, go to citi.com/thankyoucards. been all fun and games, here at the harrison household. but one dark, stormy evening... she needed a good meal and a good family. so we gave her purina cat chow complete.

for tax reform, maybe we do have to look at restructuring. i think it is putting a lot of pressure on changing the corporate and hopefully the tax code. there's a lot of pressure coming down from companies saying, i don't want to have an inversion, but if someone else in my industry is, that puts the pressure on. >> secretary lew says the nalgs needs a new sense of quote, economic patetism. joining us is brenda buttner. >> hey, nice to see you. >> with this global market, is it enough to say be an american, keep your businesses here at home? >> you made a good point. it is a global marketplace. companies in america are basically competing against companies in other countries that have far lower tax rates. that's huge. the tax rate in the united states takes a huge bite out of

company's profits, out of their margins. in order to be competitive, they have to bring that tax rate down. it doesn't look like it's going to happen from washington. so the only way they can do that is by acquiring a foreign company or merging because the income they make there will not be taxed at u.s. rates. if you add in state levies to the u.s. corporate rate, it is double that of europe's corporate tax rate. so there really is a huge disadvantage to american businesses. >> when you talk about tax reform, of course that's a huge mountain to climb, probably won't happen before the mid term elections. do you ever see it happening and is it a must do in. >> you look at the tax code. you know doing your own taxes how difficult it can be. >> it's a big headache. >> a migraine in many cases.

almost everybody degrees there should be tax reform, but no one has the political will to go ahead and do it. >> why not? >> because some people will be hurt by it. there are a lot of deductions that may be taken away. so there's a lot of lobbyists work on this. now the president has said he wants it. congress has actually come one plans. but the president has ignored them. i don't think it's not only going to happen before the midterms, i think it's not going to happen until we have a new president, if then. >> currently we have some companies able to take advantage of many loopholes? >> that's correct. the tax rate, if you count in the loopholes is much lower. usually for small businesses, they don't have the huge legions of lawyers who can help them with this. they're not able to take advantage of those deductions. so it's kind of a misnomer to

say that companies don't have to pay that much in taxes. 35%, that's huge. >> what does that mean for the average american? >> what it means is that american -- are you going to go into a store and say, i'm going to buy this good that's more expensive because it's american made or are you going to just buy the one that is the cheapest? in an economy like this, that's what you're going to do. >> you're right, your pocketbook demands something else. >> it's penalizing businesses right now. >> what do you mean? >> by this tax code. >> brenda, you're always on top of it. >> it's nice to -- >> as i like to say, getting down to business with buttner. >> you are good. good marketer. >> and want to remind everybody that you can catch brenda every saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. and it is always hard to say
