8:01 am
towns not far from the crash site of the malaysian airliner, once again delaying investigators trying to get to the wreckage. steve harrigan live in kiev. steve? >> reporter: jon, this is the third day that these international investigators tried to reach that crash site to begin their investigation and third day in a road they have been turned down, turned back by the fighting. the heavy fight really around that the crash site scene led by ukrainian military forces. they're making offensive to try to seal off the rebels from that border. that border with russia source of supplies for russia. wide use of unguided rockeducinf civilian casualties. more than 200,000 people are on the run. i. they are trying to get away from their homes and the fighting. most investigators have not even gotten into the site yet to see the damage. as far as pressure on russia, international pressure is likely to escalate at end of the day.
8:02 am
likely european union votes for increased sanctions against russia. previous sanctions targeted russian individuals. they traveled with their bank accounts. new round ever sanctions likely to target russia's economy. and banking sector. not just response to the civilian plane but since the plane went down, increased flow, weapons, heavy artillery from russian side. eu stepping up with pressure against russia's behavior. jon, back to you. jon: steve harrigan live in kiev. steve, thank you. as the crisis in ukraine heats up new charges against russia with the u.s. accusing moscow of violating a landmark arms treaty. we'll have much more on that. someone who has consulted with the russian and advises the secretary of state joins just moments from now. jenna: this also just in. leaders offering a 24 hour cease-fire as israeli airplanes launch multiple strikes on gaza
8:03 am
and hitting home of a military leader and gaza's only power plant and. v station as well. prime minister benjamin netanyahu warns his country should be ready for a long conflict. john huddy live on israel-gaza border with more. john? >> reporter: jenna, israel's security cabinet is meeting in about an hour. there are two significant things that will be discussed. one, continuing the work and operation of destroying hamas's network of tunnels including cross-border tunnels of continuing that work until it is done. and two, the possibility of expanding the operation, pushing even deeper into the gaza strip. so at this point, we are seeing and hearing a lot of heavy artillery fire and also airstrikes in the dance. you see a lot of smoke rising from several location there is in gaza. we had some action, very close to us earlier when a rocket was fired from gaza and landed, i would say, maybe a couple
8:04 am
hundred yard from us and we saw the aftermath. we saw the burned area. it landed in open field. no damage, no casualties. but it burned up the field of the we saw the crater and what was left of the rocket. also our crew on the ground in gaza captured on camera, a huge airstrike, very, very close to their location. massive airstrike and resulting explosion. this as the fighting continued overnight into the morning. israeli artillery fire hit a fuel tank that fuels gaza's only power plant, creating a huge fire. massive fire there. knocking out power, to people who are already struggling getting electricity. so this as israel as i mentioned continues with the operation to root out and destroy hamas's network of tunnels. a cease-fire. there obviously were several failed cease-fires. that remains elusive. there is pressure growing
8:05 am
because of a mounting death toll. the latest number we had, 100 palestinians have been killed. so far more than 100 have been killed in gaza. the in-- injury to is probably 6500. these numbers are so fluid by the hour, by the day. here in israel, 56 people have been killed, three civilians, 53 soldiers. right now there is no cease-fire. instead there is plenty, jenna, of artillery, fire and airstrikes. as you see smoke continuing to rise in the distance. back to you. jenna: that continues to be a big story for all of us. john, thank you very much. jon: there is new hope this morning for a bipartisan plan to overhaul the veterans affairs department after scandal ever delayed care for so many vets. they say there is enough support to pass it before congress leaves for the summer recess. the agreement include
8:06 am
$17 billion in new spending to hire more doctors, nurses and specialists. funding also goes to new clinics. at least 27 across more than a dozen states. plus most of the money, about $10 billion, will help pay for medical care for vets outside of the have. a system. meantime the senate is now meeting to consider the nomination of the new va secretary. lawmakers there are expected to vote on robert mcdonald's confirmation later today. talk about it with ellison barber, staff writer for the "washington free beacon." they have been negotiating this for about a month. one democratic senator, one republican congressman, the leaders of veterans affairs committees in their respective bodies. they put something together in about a month. it can be done on capitol hill. what was the impetus that made this work? >> they have a lot of pressure on both side from everyone across the political spectrum to get something done. they set a for themselves to pass a va type reform bill
8:07 am
before they left on august recess. none of these lawmakers wanted to go hole and face the constituents to answer the question why weren't you able to come up with something. last week when i was covering this and sat through the thursday house veterans affairs committee and seemed like maybe talks were kind of stalling, kind of at least what we could call big bums where there is disagreement about bernie sanders frustrated with some decisions and choices they made in the house and representative miller was making, same thing where representative miller was getting frustrated with some of the things that bernie sanders was doing. they stayed through the weekend and worked on this and announced on monday they did have a proposal. it covers a lot of things you mentioned and really does, tackle the kind of two biggest issues we saw come out of the veteran affairs scandals and it deals with accountability as well as the wait time for veterans. jon: if both side come away unhappy that is probably a pretty good deal, right? >> right. on the whole they say they like this bill. harry reid earlier this morning
8:08 am
praised the bill on the floor saying this is example of people working together to get something done and it's a good bill we need to pass. there are aspects both sides are not necessarily thrilled with and things they may have left out if they were going to do this independently and on their own. of course that is kind of a thing of a good compromise. you have to have things where you're not pleased with everything you got. on the whole, they addressed two biggest issues i think their constituents wanted to see them deal with. allowing veterans to go outside of the system if they have been waiting 30 days or live over 40 miles away from veterans facility. they get what is called a veterans choice card. they see use that to go see a non-va provider. and allowed language for secretary to fire senior official who is are underperforming or lying. they can appeal that for 21 days. but they won't receive pay. the fact they were able to come together on two of the biggest issues most any constituent would say they wanted to see
8:09 am
dealt with and soon is promising sign. they expect this to pass both chambers about and have it on the president's desk he have about the august recess. seems like they're confident both side to do that. jon: it will cost, $17 billion. about five billion as i understand it will be squeezed out of the va, other programs, cost savings and so forth. but they admit they don't really know how many of these veterans will be using these outside services and hence, they don't really know what that is going to cost, right? >> right they don't to some degree. they will argue, $12 billion that will not be offset. past va proposals. and house proposals over 10 years it will end up being less. that is kind of a question for some people if they look at this terms of it cost. senator corker wants to wait to see cbo estimates on this. they expect it to pass and this is spending we need to do if it will cost us a little bit more. 10, 12 billion, that should be
8:10 am
considered emergency funding and kind after cost, or senator sanders said that should be considered a cost of war. jon: what about robert mcdonald, the president's nominee to head the va. that hearing is today. will he get confirmed. >> it seems he will. he passed senate foreign affairs committee, 14-0. if somebody is going through it is him. he is definitely expects to make hurdle on the floor today. he was unanimously voted out of the senate panel. jon: he is a west point graduate so i have to like him. ellison barber. thanks. >> you bet. jenna: bizarre reappearance of a teenage girl who disappeared for months. investigators focus on a shipping container found on the charge of property of the man charged with her kidnapping. the landmark arms treaty that ended cold war. moments from now we'll talk with an expert a who has windy from both worlds. "fox news polls" we'll bring it to you on the show. our chat is up and running. what do you think about hillary

8:15 am
three children. a judge ordering both men held without bail as they were arraigned on murder and kidnapping charges. jon: the crisis in ukraine intensifies today with deadly shelling in eastern cities, pushing the civilian death toll even higher. all this amid new accusations against russia. the u.s. now charges moscow violate ad landmark arms control treaty by testing a land-based cruise missile. the missile type was banned in an accord signed by president reagan and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev that helped end the cold war nearly 30 years ago. joining us now, joe sir currency own knee, president of the plowshares fund. author of bomb scare, history and future of nuclear weapons. the u.s., says, joe, it has inconvertible evidence that the russians violated this treaty by testing this cruise missile. how big of a deal is this. >> this is very serious concern but not yet an urgent threat. i have to say i serve on the
8:16 am
initter national security advisor board for the secretary of state but these are purely my own views and don't represent the state department or u.s. government. u.s. officials say they have known about this violation of the treaty for some time. this is fairly old cruise missile. it was first tested during the bush administration in 2008. because it exceeds the treaty limits by a few hundred miles, it is not seen as an urgent threat to europe. still, any violation of the treaty is serious. so you want to run this to ground. you want to push the russians to dismantle this weapon, to pledge not to deploy it and to pledge they will come back into compliance with the treaty. jon: what is a russian pledge worth right now when you look what happened to the crimea, when you look at vladmir putin's protestations that his troops are not, you know, at work in the eastern ukraine? when you look at the fact that shells have been launched or rockets have been launched from russian territory into ukraine, what is a russian promise worth?
8:17 am
>> ronald reagan confronted exactly this problem when he negotiated this treaty. it is called the inf treatly, intermediate nuclear forces treaty. he was aware the russians could cheat and probably would cleat on this treaty. he built in a very strict verification regime. we have trouble detecting russian intentions. ukraine is get example. when it comes to delivery vehicles and things that threaten us we have compel len intelligence on their delivery vehicles. why their attempt to secretly attempt to test this cruise missile failed. we saw it. what do you do about it? you want to press the russians to back off any deployment plans for this missile but you don't wan to give them an excuse to break out of treaty restraints that ronald reagan put them in. you want to limit their weapons, limit their ability to threaten europe with any kind of nuclear bomb. jon: i made a remark yesterday that right now vladmir putin seems to be in the drivers seat. he invoice 90% popularity
8:18 am
according to the polls there at home. i got an interesting comment on twitter from somebody who said yeah, but how do you know whether you believe those polls or not? maybe that is being constructed by the russian government? what do you think? is he that popular right now? >> war in ukraine has worked to president putin's domestic advantage. there is no question, always a rallying around the flag kind of process that happens when a country goes to war and putin has played this very well. internationally though he is increasingly isolated. remember, it was u.s., has been taking the lead on putting sanctions on putin for his actions in ukraine. just two days ago we had, just yesterday we had the announcement that the europeans are finally joining us, stiffening their spines and imposing sanctions to isolate the oligarchs around putin and to start implementing sanctions that will punish the russian economy. so we'll see how long that
8:19 am
popularity lasts as winter comes to russia. jon: yeah. if the e.u. gets on board, it could start to change some mind over there. joe, good to have you on. thank you. >> thank you, jon. jenna: desperate search for a missing mother of two young children after jennifer husband ton disappeared after heuston after running errands a few weeks ago. as we see airstrikes in the conflict. questions arise who is funding hamas and why that matters in the pursuit of peace.

8:23 am
leader, ayatollah khomeni, calling muslims around the world to fund hamas in their fight against israel. who are the quote, unquote investors in hamas? how does it impact the pursuit of peace? jonathan schanzer, defense of democracies and since worked with our treasury department as well as far as terror funding. john, who are the main players here? who are supporting hamas financially? >> sure. well, i mean the support for hamas has gone through a significant evolution. it started with the saudis. that ended in roughly 2004 when they realized they had their own terror problems within the country they needed to stop. it was at that point the iranians came in. they began to provide significant amount of funding and training to hamas. that ended roughly 2011, when there was a rupture between hamas and iran over the civil war in syria. and it was at that point that we began, prominent role of turkey
8:24 am
and qatar in particular, in support and backing of this organization. these are two allies of the united states. they are better termed frenemies in light of kinds of activity we've seen them do over last couple of years. we have got for example, turkey, is nato ally. we have missile defense systems out there in eastern turkey. we have bases there. then of course, cat tash largest airbase in the middle east. both of these countries deemed by our state department as allies. we are acting in strong contravention ever u.s. stated policy designated to terrorist organization. jenna: talk us through with secretary kerry standing with both representatives proposing this cease-fire. that, obviously was well-received and hasn't taken
8:25 am
place so far. we have pictures from the past few days. what is, what is the most important to us, jonathan? is it some benefits we get from quote-unquote frenemies or funding from hamas that should be our number one priority? >> we obviously have very convoluted policy. the idea that qatar and turkey would be invited to paris, to this big foreign ministers convention to come up with a cease-fire, look these are two countries that created the problem. they're among the top contributors to the hamas problem and then they were invited to paris to be part of the solution. this is, in my opinion very bad messaging on the part of our state department. we should have been condemning these countries all along the way. the problem we neglected to today that over the last several years. it became more and more complicated to call them out under the carpet and so that is what led to collapse other day, where the united states endorsed a plan that was forwarded by qatar and turkey. it was of course rejected by
8:26 am
israelis, rejected by egyptians, two countries that have to share a border with hamas. there was no way you were going to accept this. there is good news discussion going on in cairo today hopefully break some ground but definitely a mistake to endorse these two frenemies plans. jenna: jonathan, big picture, what is in it for countries like qatar and turkey? what do they want? >> it is complicated. both of these countries can't quite figure out whether they belong in the east or the west. both of these countries are strong proponents of the muslim brotherhood. hamas is a splinter of the muslim brotherhood. they think, appears this way, they think that supporting a group like hamas will help them gain popularity and perhaps propel them to leadership in the muslim world. jenna: interesting. so if we cut off funding and we cut off our partnership with these countries which it doesn't seem likely, would that then suffocate hamas? hamas doesn't have money for
8:27 am
tunnels. doesn't have connections to get rockets from iran anham mass no longer? >> i don't know if it is hamas no longer. hamas has grassroots support. there are deep pocket donors throughout the middle east long contributed to hamas. they appreciate the fact that hamas carries out violence against israel. and that continues to be popular. i do think cutting off support from qatar and curbing at this would deliver crippling blow to the organization. it would be far weaker if we stand firm on this issue. jenna: jonathan, great to see you as always. thank you. >> my pleasure. jon: google takes information gathering to a whole new level. the tech giant's new efforts to get inside of your body and why it could revolutionize medicine as we know it. also a young mother of two boys disappears without a trace. the growing effort to find jennifer huston. >> i asked that anybody helping us look off to the left and off to the side of the highways. i have a feeling maybe she is in a ditch somewhere. this is totally unlike her.

jenna: quick look what's to come this hour. two years after our attack on the consulate in benghazi, the special committee speaks to fox news about the investigation. we'll have the very latest for you on that. also google wants to get up
8:32 am
close and personal with its users, promising to revolutionize medicine as we know it. we'll tell you what that entails. plus the amazing new high tech gadget that could keep you heading in the right direction one step at a time. jon: police in oregon following tips and leads in the case of a missing mother of two young children. jennifer houston disappeared without a trace last week. authorities say there is no evidence of a crime at this point. here is more on that mystery. dan? >> yeah, jon. there's new information that adds to the mystery surrounding the disappearance of jennifer houston. we know this stay-at-home mom had been complaining for a headache for three yies. 5:35 she told her husband she had to run some errands. about 15 minutes later she made an a.t.m. withdrawal at a credit union. it was a small amount of money. 6:10, her car was at a circle k
8:33 am
gas station where she bought over $39 worth of gas. there was no one else in the car we are. 15 minutes later, her cell phone was -- stopped working. it hasn't worked since. as far as we know, she didn't make it to the fred myers story. she's cautious by nature. they say this is totally out of character. they have created a facebook page and plastered flyers all over. her father, bill turner, former army criminal investigator said that jennifer's husband turned over all her emails, phone records, facebook activity and financial records and nothing looks suspicious. they have been married almost 10 years and yesterday he asked the public for help. >> i ask that anybody helping us regardless of what area that they're in, that they look off to the left and off to the side of the highways, her car is very large and it would wipe out any
8:34 am
shrubs or potential small trees. i have the feeling maybe she's in a ditch somewhere. >> that car is a dark green lexus with an oregon plate. jennifer was last seen wearing black yoga pants, a black shirt and black and pink running shoes. five detectives are working this case full time. they're calling it a missing persons case. they say there's no evidence at this point of a crime. jon: very, very strange. dan springer live from seattle, thank you. jenna: google has certainly revolutionized how we get information but now the search giant wants to get to know you in a whole new way. google is launching a project to explore the human body as part of their super secretive google laboratory. dagen has more on this story. we'll get to google x in a moment. what do they want from us? >> they really want to understand and map out what a healthy human body looks like and ultimately, that will lead to preventing illnesses rather than just trading up and we
8:35 am
should point out this is an anonymous study. initially it's going to focus on collecting essentially bio logical and medical information from 175 anonymous individuals. it's called the baseline study. it will be genetic and molecular information and involve the entire genome. i can go on and on, how you metabolize food. that's one of the things they'll be focussing on. it will be expanded to potentially thousands of people. duke university's medical school and stanford university's medical school will get involved in the project and the you will malt goal is to -- what does a healthy human look like? when i mean that, you can take google's massive computing power. this is an incredible amount of information and then identify with those computers patterns in your genetic makeup and in your medical makeup. say what does a healthy person, how does a healthy person
8:36 am
process fatty foods? what is it about a healthy individual? what can we learn from that in treating -- basically how people, how cholesterol works so it is an incredible amount of information. jenna: is google x -- i should mention that google x is the laboratory designing things like the eyeglasses. google glass. or the driverless cars. is google looking to develop products off of this? are they using to market it in some way or -- is it just supposed to be some sort of a data base? >> well, it is data initially and i wanted to point out, we are looking at this contact lens and this is google as part of this project, they're developing wearable devices to collect information, say heart rates, heart rhythms, oxygen levels and this smart contact lens will likely be worn by participants to monitor glucose levels so the potential for the sale of some
8:37 am
of these products down the road and even -- i don't want to say google is getting into the drug business but all of these technology companies know that health information and biomedical information and research are the growth areas of the future. not, you know, mobile and online advertising. but they've got to figure out a way to grow their business faster than the economy and health care and medicine. that's where it's at. jenna: so 175 anonymous healthy individuals over the course of the summer will enter into this. >> initially and then it will be thousands more. jenna: would you do it? would you give up your information like that to google? >> yeah. but i got so many problems, do they really want it? jenna: i'm sure they do. how could they not? healthwise, i would give that up. if it would help somebody else, for certain. jenna: that looks like their
8:38 am
intention sh at least for hey'l insurance companies. they're cautious of the privacy involved in this and there will be boards at duke and stanford when the research is expanded to monitor that at all. jenna: anything that says google x makes you feel a little bit like you're in the movies. interesting stuff. thank you. jon: she looks great, dagen. i want you to know, you look great. with everything that google can do, check this out. are you one of those people who never know which way to go? well, this model, i guess you could say, is wearing a pair of smart shoes. that could get you heading in the right direction. we'll tell you how they work coming up. vo: this is the summer.

8:42 am
at the top of the hour. kimberly and sand va, what do you have? >> the most intense and fierce fighting yet in the hamas complex and some are blaming secretary kerry for the cease fire. is it fair? >> making the bad guys pay. what do you do when the bad guy is the judge and the law protects him? the game changing case that could go all the way to the supreme court. >> i like that one. and the debt collector at the door of more than one in three americans. the primary cause of this and what it says about the struggling economy. >> all that plus the hashtag one lucky guy in "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. don't miss it. jon: we're looking forward to it. thank you both. >> thank you. jenna: a new startup company set to have a new piece of technology. it's called smart shoes and for $100, high tech inserts go into your shoes and sync up with google maps to tell users where and when to learn. editor at large for
8:43 am
mashable.com, how does this work exactly? >> pretty straight forward. so they actually have shoes that are inserts. you can buy one or the other. $100 or $150. goes into the back of the shoe. it has what's called half tech technology which is vibration. it collects via blue tooth to your phone and google maps. you put your destination in the phone which is nice and easy and then once that's going and the devices are connected to your phone, as soon as you start walking, it will tell you which way to go. how does it tell you? a vibration on the right foot says you're going to turn right. vibration on the left foot says you're going to turn left. i could have used this in paris when i got lost and began going in circles. jenna: and you look at your phone and not looking up. >> you know, it's funny you say that. one of the reasons the company developed this was to help blind people because they usually have devices, they have the cane and maybe an auditory device but they were concerned because they used their ears to really get a
8:44 am
sense of the environment that they're going to be distracted. and it's the same thing with just anyone, that you could be distracted by looking at the phone as opposed to a more natural way of having your feet vibrate. i think it's a pretty cool idea. jenna: we're showing the shoes. i want to point out as you also said, you can buy the shoes but you can also just buy the insert to put in your shoe to make this work if you ever your own fashion sense. >> well, actually, another good point. they look a little bit like slippers. i wasn't sure the shoe style, the insert in the sneaker is really nice. since it's wearable technology, that's an important hurdle. if it's something that you have to think about your fashion sense, you want to make it so it's not a decision and just putting the insert in, you get to decide how your feet look but you still get the intelligence. jenna: for some of us it is a priority. really quick with this, you know it's always when you're lost that you look down at your phone and your maps freeze. you know, that's always happening when you're relying on your phone and sometimes you're using blue tooth technology and
8:45 am
you still have a dropped call. even with this in your shoe, how reliable is it? do you need a backup? >> well, i think you always need backups. you always need paper. you know, carry something with you, a map because yes, google maps, if you lose, like it loses connection, either the cell towers or g.p.s. and can't see you, suddenly it's not going to be able to tell you where to go. but coverage is generally good around the world. so i don't think that's going to be a huge problem. jenna: very interesting. this company has a lot of preorders, they say about 25,000 pairs. they've already preordered 100,000. we'll see where that goes and we'll try it out. see how it works. let me ask you about this other technology that we're seeing that we can opt for, for our iphones. it's thermal imaging. i can understand wanting to know which way to go on the streets of new york but why do i need thermal imaging heat technology on my iphone? >> best example is in your house, you look at your window and you say it's sealed.
8:46 am
everything is good. what you might not know is the cold air rushing in through it, maybe you can't see it. thermal imaging, what it does, it takes infrared light and takes the photo from your iphone, puts them together and gives you a heat map, a real heat representation so you see cold is where you've got no temperature coming through. if it's hot, it goes to red or white so you can see this sort of temperature of things that with your own visual eye you can't see. electrical, you have a problem in the wall where the electrical is going to go, you could see that. you've got hot water leaking in the wall? you could see through the wall with this device. it really combines the heat signature information, the thermal information, with photography from the iphone so it kind of puts it all together. it's heavy. it's like, you know, as heavy as your iphone, has its own battery power and also expensive. like $349 but for contractors or enthusiasts, i think it's a cool idea. jenna: i think jon scott qualifies as one of those
