from a woman at the center of the irs political targeting scandal be at hope you're having great day so far. jon: we've already heard the commissioner say former official lois lerner e-mails are gone for good, destroyed in a hard drive crash. now a new twist after naya nairs attorney says there is a chance backup tapes with e-mails still exist and these changing stories from the irs are causing some to question what is going on. the house oversight committee probing the response to the investigation looking at whether the irs violated the federal records act. live on capitol hill has latest for us. >> that is right, jon. it got underway just about an hour ago. the only witness, as we know he has been at least in the view of republicans on the committee a big comeback an tuned in three previous appearances. today's testimony only likely to poison the water's even more.

the committee discovered just last week senior irs officials learned early february of 2014, february of this year, lois lerner e-mails were unrecoverable. yet they did not alert officials until four months later. now they are calling for independent prosecutor written a letter to the deputy who says "we strongly encourage you to a general to have a special prosecutor to thoroughly investigate why he delayed informing congress, the justice department and the people about the destruction of evidence to congressional and criminal investigations." on top of that the committee wants to know why so many people opposed to lois lerner at the irs also had their hard drives fail. >> it is clear there was a

convenient loss of far more data by far more people than it explained by the normal probabilities. >> elijah cummings continues to lead republicans on a fruitless fishing exhibition. >> the irs has already spent $18 million responding to the investigations and now testifying before congress for the fourth time, yet the committee members were informed yesterday they will hold another hearing on the topic next wednesday. >> his test wha one has just gon underway. after all this time, and wonder if her e-mails may still be recoverable as was suggested last week by deputy attorney general. say he has not pursued any further inquiries or investigations on his own

because they have asked him to step aside while they conduct their own investigation. back to you be at jon: if you turn up those e-mails, get back to us, okay? >> two ukrainian jets shot down not far from the malaysia airlines flight 17. looking to confirm the details of that particular story be at this happening as other aircraft landed in the netherlands carrying the first bodies from the malaysian airlines crash after that plane was blown out of the sky last week. on the faces of everybody, they want the children back. for the french and for everyone. >> it is very important.

now coming, a very important day for the people here and all the people in other countries. very important. jenna: we go back to ukraine with steve. >> jenna, the first of the victims getting a sign of respect landing at a military airport in the netherlands being greeted by military officers taking 40 bodies arriving today. they will be arriving all week through friday taken to laboratories at the military base where analysis of hair, dental records and fingerprints will begin. some of the attentive vacations to be almost immediate, others could take weeks or months. after laying in the field for some days going on in refrigerated train whose refrigeration didn't work, the beginning of identifying these

bodies as the fighting on the ground still continues not far from that crash site. ukrainian government confirming two fighter jets have been shot down, both pilots ejected, their condition not certain as the search goes on for them. not certain what sort of weapons used, was it the same surface-to-air missiles that brought down a civilian airlin airliner. not clear yet. what is clear is a hot war zone around the crash site preventing investigators from doing their job to find out who brought the plane down and why. back to you. jenna: thank you. jon: another scuffle broke out, the second in two days. check this out. so much for a deliberative body. the fight erupting at one lawmaker accused communist party leader of going on russian tv claiming ukrainian anti-terror forces had killed and dismembered ukrainians east of

that country. but far from the only bizarre claim in the media especially for the downed malaysian jet. later in the hour we will look at the russian propaganda machine in full swing. jenna: a new battle underway in southern gaza today as century of state john kerry meets with israeli and palestinian leaders to negotiate a cease-fire between israel and loss as both sides report more deaths today. >> there definitely has been some more momentum in terms of the cease-fire talks. secretary john kerry on the ground in israel. earlier he met with u.n. general and after that he met with palestinian authority president. they discus discussed the possie cease-fire. in about an hour, secretary kerry be meeting with benjamin netanyahu, and after that meeting the security cabinet has

called for a special session, so we're waiting for more details about the earlier meetings and the updates ahead. having said that, the fighting continues on the ground as the israel-gaza border has been in particular very intense along the east gaza-israel border he here. these are areas that have seen a lot of fighting, artillery fire going back and forth, and we're getting reports from the defense forces israeli soldiers have rooted out more hamas military tunnels. these tunnels have been used for the transport of rockets including several that we have seen today coming out of gaza, and all three cells are used to infiltrate israel, we have seen hamas militants ambushing israeli soldiers. two soldiers were killed in the fighting today bremen total number number of israeli soldiers to 29, there was a

civilian casualty bringing the total number of civilian casualties to three. in gaza, 600 people killed, more than 4000 injured. at this point it is day 16 of operation protective edge, day six of protective. the fighting on the ground continues. jenna: thank you. jon: so as president obama wrestles with the crises in ukraine and gaza, his administration is dealing with multiple hotspots around the world that are interconnected in many ways. a recent "new york times" article caught our attention reading rarely has a president been confronted with so many form policies at once. in ukraine, israel, syria, iraq, afghanistan and elsewhere, but making it more, located for mr. obama is the seemingly interlocking nature of all of them. developments in one area like ukraine changed his views and

choices in a crisis in another area like the middle east." peter baker is the author of that piece as we noted some of the hotspots in the world right now, he is also chief white house correspondent for "the new york times." peter, the president of the united states is the most powerful man in the world, he came into office seeming to show the policy president bush had shown before him. has he fully use the powers of his office to influence these events, do you think? >> that is a good question. that is the topic of a lot of criticism these days. also from democrats saying the president could be more assertive in showing leadership around the world, his side would say he is doing that, the world is a, located place, lot going on beyond his control. there are limits to what he or the american public really want

to do in terms of exerting ourselves into problems around the world. it is a volatile time for him. you have to imagine there is more of what else could go wrong as you try to juggle these different crises. jon: we say the use of chemical weapons is a redline is not be crossed and the line is crossed and nothing happens, don't you invite these other kind of troubles? >> you will hear a lot of criticisms about that, that was last september, of course. he did follow up with a joint venture with russia to disarm syria of the chemical weapons and that seems to have almost all of those weapons, but because he didn't follow through with the threats of a military strike it has caused others around the world not just in the middle east to question whether or not he will follow through on other areas, so that had some real affect on him reedit jon:

you probably read what former ambassador to the u.n. john bolton wrote in the "wall street journal." he says the president sometimes has a tendency to dwell on the details and miss the big pictu picture. he says mr. obama has swelled on getting international forensic experts to the crash site, the malaysian airlines flight 17. instead of emphasizing the lessons we have drawn from this terrible episode, he did warn of unspecified steps that will be taken but bag in consequences are also familiar. retribution never materializes and approaching surreal levels" as these two elements take place around here. >> i think with the ukraine-russia situation, what he is trying hard to do is stay tight with the european and in doing so that has meant he

hasn't been as tough and his rhetoric or actions as he might be if he was going to be more unilateral be at the applied tougher sanctions against russia far beyond what the europeans were willing to do. they met again yesterday not going to take the kind of actions that is states has under president obama, much later form of sanctions, and what he is trying to find from sean the resolve they talk about and staying tight with the europea europeans, that may not be the same priority ambassador bolton would have, but working with angela merkel, chancellor of germany, and others to push them into a more stringent kind of responsibility is going on if they can't respond to the shooting down of this airplane with tougher actions, it will be hard to imagine they would make them do that. jon: it is good to have you on, thank you.

jenna: new hearings on the iraq crisis and what they knew. plus, how they could be offering new hope for cancer patients. and we want to know what you think, do you think russia should get the blame for shooting down the malaysian airlines flight 17? time to get more aggressive? click on the americas asking cap to weigh in on our live chat.

the four day process of moving the ship to the mainland for dismantling. jon: right now on capitol hill, lawmakers are looking at the obama administration actions in the months leading up to the current crisis in iraq and whether the white house failed to respond to a request by the government for strikes against isis terror camps. live in washington with more on that. jennifer. >> republican-led house foreign affairs committee called the state department's top political representatives to iraq to testify to congress today about reports the u.s. failed to act after the intelligence and requests from the iraqi government were clear the u.s. needed to strike before the sunni insurgency began the march to baghdad. >> what the administration did not say was the iraqi government had been urgently requesting drone strikes against isis camps

since august of 2013. >> as lawmakers debate what, if anything, the u.s. could have done to stop the islamic state or isis fighters in the takeover of much of iraq, suicide car bomber blew up in baghdad at a checkpoint as shiite worshipers were heading to a shrine to pray be at 31 people were killed, more than 50 injured. the timing of the attack came as lawmakers were set to vote for new president in parliament today, one of three leaders needed for the iraqis to form a new government. the president is by law a kurd on the hill. it is no longer just a terror group. >> there no longer just a terrorist organization, they are a full-blown army. >> isis has gained so much territory and momentum, therefore more difficult than

they were a year and half for two years ago. >> democrats and republicans wondering if the u.s. could have done more to stop isis if the u.s. military had been allowed to get involved earlier, jon. jon: we may never know the answers to those questions, unfortunately. thank you. >> russian claims in the media of the passenger plane who russia says it's really to blame as we take an in-depth look at their propaganda machine. the largest fire in history, now it comes as another whether danger. what that is and how it can impact the firefight next. >> hiking out yesterday, there are folks waving, very thankful, so we appreciate the gratitude and we're happy to be able to help. when you run a business, you can't settle for slow.

jenna: word of the defense ministry saying two of the military fighter jets were shot down less than 20 miles from the malaysian airlines crash site. this comes as russian media pushes its own theory of what really happened to the passenger plane with claims russian radar spotted a second aircraft in the vicinity before the crash. the ukrainian fighter jet shot down the malaysian airliner or that this is all part of a plot to assassinate vladimir putin. an opinion piece in the washington journal says it was months in the making because response of the west to president putin in ukraine. writing at moments that matter, mattercoming outside world failed to act putting off watering down hard decisions. those moments were turning points for mr. putin when he turned up the heat on ukraine. it is not unfair to draw a line connecting the goal response to

the ukrainian crisis and the crash of the militia airline jetliner on thursday. the editorial board, matt joins us now. let's talk about that line, you were there when the crisis started at the beginning of the year. the western response to what we are seeing today. >> we've seen the nature of what live putin has been doing for the last six months even before the collapse of the pro-russian government in ukraine. annexation of crimea, what costed putin paper that? none at all. starting up these separatist war in eastern ukraine, what did we do? very little. he continued to escalate in ukraine, arm these guys and our response is always been very hesitant because we, the europeans and the u.s., don't want to confront.

jenna: do you speak russian? what do you think of the said that russia was really here at this point? >> vladimir putin would listen to serious sanctions. let's try to impose some cost of vladimir putin. his economy is fairly weak. if we impose cost, real sanctions that hit banking, energy companies, the richest men in russia, they would be pressure put on him. if we arm the ukraine's it would raise the cost of further escalating. jenna: if we don't, what is at stake? >> if we don't, if it is allowed to stand, it will continue. that has been vladimir putin's option and a lesson we can learn from history.

jenna: i thought it was interesting he brought it to the bigger point if russia is allowed to continue it is a threat to democracy and world order which is what we see with the downing of the plane. >> number russia is being ruled by corrupt criminal and repressive regime's this they fight over russia, a fight over this whole region and a fight over what we achieved in the cold war which was supposed to be a europe that is free and whole. jenna: one other example is one of the separatists said when we arrived at the crash site these were already dead bodies. this is part of a propaganda, a huge conspiracy by the west and it is difficult for us and for me to understand how russia, country of 150 million people could continue to perpetuate these narratives and not really be challenged.

how does that happen? >> blimey putin has stayed in power in large part by controlling whole vision and control in. he understands how important that is b. we think there are ukrainian jets in the area, weird there is no blood at the crash or vladimir putin plane was flying by and the ukraine's were trying to shoot that down. he is raising questions in russians minds. also saying for years the west, especially america is how to get russia, they are our enemy that is the concept they are taking. jenna: do we need to view russia as our enemy as they do the u.s. >> we should view it as mitt romney said as a leading geopolitical fall of the west writes now and we should act on that knowledge.

that has the problem of response president obama has given three statements with moral outrage, these arms russian arms, we don't seem whereabouts to do anything. that is why they keep coming into ukraine, two jets shot down today. jenna: resto getting informati information, all signs point to rush again for these down jets again today. thank you. jon: house republicans take a newsstand to deal with the growing crisis on the growing border. what democrats have to say about it. plus alarming reports of christians persecuted in iraq another conflict zones around the world.

aspect of this war really seems to be favoring the palestinians right now. >> in the past we have seen this cycle where somehow the media and others equate the two deaths as morally equal thing. it is always tragic when civilians are killed, but the responsibility lies with hamas and this time i see israel winning this battle. it is different than in previous years when this has happened israel has always condemned and told to stop, we should push for a peace process here, but again i think this time and because of twitter we are seeing things like the pictures of a u.n. school having rockets and arms inside the school, how do those just come about? clearly the u.n. is looking the

other way as the schools are being used to hide weapons, and these pictures that come out of social media, this is a big deal and it is showing one side is defending itself. hamas is a terror organization, so we shouldn't be pressuring israel. jon: one of the images that has received so much coverage came out on twitter, "new york times" photographer on a beach in gaza took a shot that shows several palestinian children, this father carrying his dead child, other children hurt in this attack, and benjamin netanyahu made baby and in artful comment on a sunday show about the dead of the palestinians did by showing these bodies on television, israel becomes sort of the whipping boy in this. >> i've seen a woman in the rubble who was barely alive,

there for today's, those pictures are horrific and yet what we have to do is have to remember responsibility lies with the government. if people in palestine and gaza don't want this, they have to speak up. jon: would israel first responded to was a kidnapping and killing of those teenagers but then they get this ongoi off which are intercepted. >> i think you're right on the social media aspect of this, specifically twitter gives legs to every single piece of information coming from both sides when the attack happened there were a whole bunch of tweets very specific to here is the place these individuals were killed. it brings the story alive, but going back to your original

question, the israelis are doing a much better job this time around because of twitter because they are actually showing some of the problems i think the media in the past has not always put forth. jon: thank you. jenna: an eight-year-old boy having fun at the beach when a shark decides to pay a visit. >> i could see the teeth marks. >> it was scary. all your fears came true at on once. jenna: we will tell you what happened, also, winnin when in e g.o.p. primary defeating 11 term, as men jack kingston. preparing for a bigger fight in the fall. >> the battle for america is so much bigger. it is about taking over the u.s.

>> it turns out the protein to work with made by scorpions and sunflowers have bonds that tie them into a knot. they create cap next otherwise be useless and otherwise could be life saving. i think about my life, my family, my community that pulls the together as creating rather than destroying in this world. jenna: it is amazing to think about. and still focusing on the scorpion part. tell us about how you cam can up with this idea to create this. >> it was a 17-year-old girl who had undergone an all day long operation 2004. at the end of the day even though she was operated on by a world famous surgeon, she still had a big piece of cancer left

in her brain because using the best tools available at the time, still the best tools available now, you couldn't distinguish what was cancer and what was normal in her brain. so we had a difficulty of taking her back to the operating room or radiation and chemotherapy knowing she can die if they are resistant to those therapies. asking if i could create a molecule making a cancer light up so they could see exactly what is cancer and what is not cancer. the subsequent 10 years we have been working on not focusing on one molecule from the scorpion toxin. jenna: a personal experience extreme pain, paralysis and death. what did you see in this particular protein that you thought is going to work and not harm the patient? >> it is important to know scorpion toxin's have thousands of proteins in them, where working with one with no known

toxicity in humans or other mammals. we chose this one because it binds to a target on cancer cells but on the present of cancer cells. if we injected into the bloodstream it would go through the body, find the cancer cells, be eternal life and make them light up so it is easy to see them while they're operating. jenna: only have about 30 seconds, but the critics who say it may give people too much hope, it is too far-fetched, to your critics, you say what? >> hope is what you have when you are in a desperate situati situation, played have something work out better than it possibly can. the fibers has worked beautifully in dogs that have had cancer, we tested it, it is not unreasonable hope, it is reasonable, and i hope 10 years

from now they will look back and say can't believe we used our finger and our thumb and or eyes to determine what was cancelled was normal tissue. hope to have you back, thank you so much. >> thank you very much.
