welcome to "cbs this morning." norah o'donnell is off but margaret brennan is here. as you wake up in the west, outrage, grief and many questions surrounding the downing of malaysia airlines flight 17. here is what we know right now. all 298 people aboard that boeing 777 were killed. debris and bodies are scattered across several miles of eastern ukraine. american intelligence officials believe a surface-to-air missile brought the jet down. >> flight 17 was on its way from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it crashed near the russian border. the plane went down in an area held by ukrainian insurgents backed by russia. mark phillips is in ukraine this morning to begin our coverage. >> reporter: good morning. it's a day of shock, grief and recriminkr recrimi nation here. even the russians in moscow, everyone is blaming someone else for this disaster. in the middle of this, an investigation will have to be organized.

a ball of flame and a column of smoke on the horizon. the tragic end of malaysia air flight 17. this video captured by residents near the ukrainian-russian border as they watched the shattered plane fall from the sky. the heavier parts crashed into the parts. other parts, the personal effects of those on board, drifted down like lingering tragic memories. the crash site is a debris field spreading over miles. still smoking wreckage, unmistakable parts of mh-17. the malaysian airlines logo still visible. a piece of fuselage, a burnt-out engine. and the passengers themselves, what's left of them, too graphic to show here. lifeless bodies and body parts among the twisted metal. their possessions lying nearby. a suitcase blasted open, a collection of passports. emergency workers were on the scene but it soon became clear the scene was big.

debris spread over nine square miles suggesting a high altitude explosion apparently caused by a surface-to-air missile, but whose? the finger pointing over who was to blame for the crash began as the flames from it were still burning. the self-proclaimed russian prime minister of the region blamed the downing of mh-17 on the ukrainian government. it's not a disaster, he said, it's a heinous crime of the regime in kiev. the ukrainian president, petro poroshenko, blamed it on the terrorists. and poroshenko's government says it has proof. an intercepted phone conversation in which rebel commanders admit shooting the plane down. but the conversation is unverified and it's not clear which plane is being referred to. other ukrainian military planes have been shot down in the area this week. russian president vladimir putin also blamed the government in kiev, saying it bore responsibility because of its military campaign to try to take

back territory held by the separatist rebels. there are a lot of questions still to be answered here. who fired the missiles. answered. who fired the missile if there was a missile, who supplied the weaponry, and also why was there still being air traffic being routed over in that area where there was known military activity. for "cbs this morning," i'm mark philips in ukraine. hundreds of relatives are at the airport in amsterdam this rning waiting for word. more than half the people aboard flight 17 were from the netherlands. the list of victims include three infants so far. there is no confirmation of american casualties. officials believe dozens of passengers were aids activists and researchers traveling to a conference in australia. elizabeth palmer will have more from amsterdam on the 298 victims in our next half hour. this morning russian president vladimir putin is

asking both sides and ukraine to stop shooting and start talking. just before it went down flight 17 was going 568 miles an hour flying at 33,000 feet. ukrainian officials claim a russian-made missile knocked the plane out of the sky. bob orr is in washington with more on the investigation so far. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, margaret. well, while the ukraine government blames pro-russian separatists in eastern ukraine, u.s. officials say they cannot say definitively who fired that missile that brought down malaysia airlines flight 17. one leading theory, though, is that rebels were perhaps targeting a military aircraft and hit the civilian passenger plane by mistake. the winding trail of debris leaves no doubt malaysia airlines flight 17 began peeling apart in midair. parts of wreckage and bodies are scattered in fields along the jet's flight path. large sections of the boeing 777 found away from the primary crash site apparently broke off in flight, but the bulk of the

wreckage is centered in a burned-out crater. mangled metal and pulverized debris, charred by a fire led by fuel in the jet's wings. >> the wreckage is absolutely critical. >> reporter: mark rosenker says despite the devastation there's plenty investigators can learn from the wreckage. >> they'll be looking for where the missile may have struck the aircraft. they'll also be looking for any type of explosive residue. they'll be able to then identify the kind of missile that it was. perhaps even where it was launched from and who was responsible. >> reporter: sources say u.s. intelligence detected a missile in flight and indications that a targeting radar was tracking the civilian airliner around the time of the crash. ukrainian officials say the missile came from a sophisticated system comprised of radar, command vehicles and launchers. the unit is made by a russian military contractor. this animation demonstrates its

capability to track and destroy a high performance fighter jet. while such a system was recently spotted in rebel territory near the russian border, separatists have denied shooting down the airplane, but ukraine officials point to recent comments posted online by a separatist leader who claimed credit for knocking out a military aircraft with a blunt warning. quote, do not fly in our skies. now, it's not kwet clear who's going to take control of this investigation ultimately. the u.s. has offered to send its crash experts there to assist but access is a very big problem since the crash site is in a war zone still controlled by rebel fighters. but it's imperative that qualified aviation analysts get ahold of those black boxes and also take a close-up look at that wreckage to confirm suspicions that this was no ordinary airplane accident. >> bob, thanks. mike morell is here, a former deputy cia director. mike, good morning. >> good morning. >> as bob orr reported, there is some suspicion, although it has not been confirmed, that russian

separatists using russian missiles might have done this. what would make that a real possibility? >> i think what happened here is that the separatists who have shot down a couple of aircraft this week believe that they were targeting a ukrainian military transport and they just made a mistake. that's what i think happened here. >> what would it take to prove that? >> i think we have our own intelligence capabilities. radar tracking, satellite tracking. when you marry that with any information the ukrainians have and then when you get to the crash site and you take a look at the aircraft, i think you can put all those pieces together and make a pretty strong case. >> if proven, what does it mean for putin at home? >> i think this is very bad news for putin because it's going to force the west on the one hand to put much tougher sanctions in place than we've seen so far. the sanctions in place so far have been pretty light. >> west meaning countries like

germany and netherlands. >> and the united states. so much tougher sanctions. and then i think there's a small minority that has not been vocal inside russia who is opposed to putin and where he's taking the country. something like this could lead them to be more vocal and question his leadership. >> mike, let's talk about the evidence so far. the ukrainians have released this recording they say of a militant on the ground talking to russian intelligence about shooting down a plane. the u.s. says they have given tanks, they have given rocket launchers. do the insurgents have this capability? >> my understanding is that they have this buk capability which can bring down an aircraft. i think one of the things we have to think about here is the degree of russian complicity. clearly they are complicit in that they have encouraged, funded and simply supported the rebels. the question is does the complicity go any further than that. does the complicity go to the russians actually giving them

this system, training the rebels on this system or even having russian special forces standing there and helping firing the missile. we need to figure that all out. >> shouldn't we know some of that already? >> i think it's going to take some time. i think there are bits of data the analysts are putting together. >> one of the other things the u.s. is concerned about is that open border, that russia has allowed many different fighters with different agendas to come in here. can you put the genie back in the bottle if they have these kind of weapons? >> i think one of the things that we actually talked about on this program is putin started this. and has putin lost control of the movement in eastern ukraine and these guys are now acting on their own. that's a question as well. >> mike morell, thank you. >> good to be here. president obama is set to make a statement about ukraine at 8:30 pacific time. cbs news will bring that to you live in a special report. the president returned to washington late last night after a fund-raiser in new york. earlier in detroit, vice president joe biden spoke about the disaster.

>> a malaysian aircraft heading from western europe to kuala lumpur apparently has been shot down. shot down, not an accident. blown out of the sky. we've seen reports that there may have been american citizens onboard. obviously that's our first concern. >> major garrett is at the white house where officials are coordinating the response. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. top officials tell us they're still trying to determine whether u.s. citizens were aboard the downed malaysian airlines flight 17 and hope to have a definitive answer on that today. information about that and every other overnight development now part of the president's daily intelligence briefing going on now in the oval office. meanwhile late yesterday the president in telephone calls to the prime mrs of tinisters of t netherlands and malaysia offered

condolences. there's now pressure to secure the crash site, recover any evidence taken or tampered with and provide safe transport and working conditions for the international investigators now heading to the scene. the other task, gauge the interest in europe to even tougher economic sanctions against russia. the instability of the west has long urged russia to quell in eastern ukraine is now directly or indirectly led to the deaths of 298 civilians. european reluctance to hit the russian economy hard may now recede. the united states will move the negotiating posture in that direction. >> major, thanks. again, you can see the president's remarks in a special report that's coming up at about 8:30 a.m. pacific time. an interview from my pbs program, i asked former secretary of state hillary clinton how the u.s. community should respond to this tragic event. >> there does seem to be some growing awareness that it probably had to be russian

insurgents. now how we determine that will require some forensics, but then if there is evidence pointing in that direction, the equipment had to have come from russia. >> so what does the united states do if there is clear indication and clear evidence that it was russian separatists and perhaps using weapons from russia? >> i think that the first question is what does europe do. if there is evidence linking russia to this, that should inspire the europeans to do much more on three counts. one, toughen their own sanctions, make it very clear there has to be a price to pay. number two, immediately accelerate efforts and announce they are doing so to find alternatives to gas and thirdly do more in concert with us to support the ukrainians. put putin on notice that he has gone too far and we are not going to stand idly by. >> ukraine's military should

receive better training and equipment. coming up we'll take a closer look at why the malaysian airlines plane was flying over ukraine. peter greenburg is here with why airlines routinely go through war zones. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." turning to our other big story, the crisis in gaza. pope francis called the israeli and palestinian presidents this morning urging them to end the fighting. overnight israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu warned of a significant expansion in the ground invasion that started yesterday. the 32-mile gaza strip sustained more than a week of deadly aerial attacks. holly williams is in gaza city, where they're bracing for what's next. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we have not seen any israeli troops here in gaza city this morning. the streets are empty. it is a virtual ghost town. in fact the only sounds we hear are the incoming shelling and the roar of outgoing rockets.

after threatening a ground invasion for days, last night israel finally sent its soldiers across the border and into the gaza strip. israel says it will be a limited offensive, not an occupation, and that it's aimed mainly at destroying tunnels used by palestinian militants to infiltrate israeli territory. the israeli military claims it foiled an attack early thursday by 13 heavily armed militants using one of the tunnels. israel's government says it was that attack and rocket fire by militants during what was supposed to be a brief humanitarian cease-fire yesterday that forced it to act to defend its own citizens. the first sign a ground invasion might be imminent was a night of heavy bombardment, clearing the way for israeli troops and tanks. even before the ground offensive began, more than 240 palestinians had been killed in ten days of air strikes and

officials in gaza say most of them were civilians. three palestinian children were killed yesterday when a shell hit their home. suddenly a rocket came from above and hit their roof, said the children's neighbor. we carried them in our arms. palestinian militants have fired over 1300 of their rockets into southern israel during this escalation, cullikilling one pe and causing injury and damage. many of the rockets were shot down by israel's iron dome anti-missile defense system. so far the israeli troops have only moved into the northern gaza strip. we don't know if they'll come any further south, but this morning the shelling and air strikes continue unabated. we do not know how long this ground offensive will last, but hamas, that's the militant group that controls the gaza strip, has vowed to make israel pay dearly for it. margaret. >> holly, thanks. at least 35 homes in

washington state are destroyed this morning as two major wildfires burn out of control. 650 people in the town evacuated last night. flames there cover 28 square miles. a wildfire 100 miles to the south in leavenworth already sent nearly 900 people packing. that fire burned nearly ten square miles since tuesday. gusting winds and causing ash to rain down, but no one is hurt. near dallas this morning flood watches and warnings are posted. storms dumped almost a foot of rain yesterday northwest of town. rising water rushed into homes leading to rescues. drivers were stranded on flooded roads, but this morning there are no reports of injuries. it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning" we'll check headlines from around the nation, including we'll tell you what new jersey governor chris christie said to voters in iowa about the

they range from infants to world renowned aid researchers. >> ahead. the 298 lives lost in the crash of malaysia flight 17. and the lucky few who were bumped from my family likes camping... ...i like dancing. so when we packed up our rav4, i brought this. ♪ turns out my family likes dancing too.

good morning. we are seeing clearing at the bay bridge toll plaza at 7:30 this morning. it's backed up to the first overcrossing in the busiest lanes but quite a difference from even a half-hour ago. much better news in sunnyvale all lanes open the scene of the fatal crash of the lawrence expressway off-ramp was shut down for hours. now they have reopened lanes. things are slowly improving on 101. that is "kcbs traffic." here's roberta. >> good morning, everybody. heading on out the door, we do have some drizzle all because of a very deep marine layer and that's a look at ocean beach right now under mostly cloudy skies at 64 degrees there. 60 in fremont. 63 degrees in concord with a high today of 80. so no clearing at the beaches, but plenty of sunshine inland. and check this out. it's a pretty typical summertime weather pattern.

else welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour, new jersey governor chris christie adds to new speculation about 2016. we'll look at his visit to a place that can make or break a potential presidential candidate. plus there is new information this morning about the deadly bank robbery in california. a grieving husband talks about the text message he received as his wife was taken hostage. that's ahead. >> we have more now on the crash of malaysia airlines flight 17. workers at the scene in eastern ukraine say they have recovered the bodies of more than half of the 298 victims. rebel forces that control the

dangerous region say they will allow investigators access to the site. >> the apparent downing of that boeing 777 is sparking outrage across europe. much of that criticism is aimed at russia. in the netherlands, anger is mixed with grief. officials say they have identified all but two of the passengers. so far no americans are listed. elizabeth palmer is in amsterdam where flight 17 took off just over 24 hours ago. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, nearly two-thirds of the passengers who died in malaysian airlines flight 17 were dutch. they were from the netherlands. this is a small country, and so people here are really still coming to grips with the sheer scale of this tragedy. after the plane went down, shocked family members were led out of amsterdam's airport to wait for more news. they had already heard the worst. there were no survivors.

meanwhile, one family was reeling from their luck. izzy sim, her husband and baby were bumped from malaysian airlines flight 17 for lack of space. >> i'm shaken. i don't even know what to do. i'm feeling physically sick. i was like coming through the airport. i'm just thinking that i feel like i have been given a second chance. >> reporter: this picture was snapped by passenger cora pan who posted to facebook should it disappear, here's what it looks like. it was intended as a black joke about malaysian airlines 370 which vanished in march, but it now reads like a grim portent. several of the passengers are reported to have been on their way to an international aids conference in australia, including an eminent dutch scientist who was the former president of the world aid society. his colleague spoke to him from

melbourne. >> he was a very unassuming man considering his many accomplishments and an individual who took humanitarianism to heart. he gave both as a physician, as an activist and as a human being. >> reporter: it's a national day of mourning here and across the netherlands flags are flying at half mast. malaysian airlines is offering to fly family members from here in amsterdam to kiev and maybe even to the crash site if it's considered safe enough, but we spoke to a father who lost two of his sons a short while ago and he said for the moment a lot of the families just don't feel up to making the trip. they have said not now. gayle. >> all right, elizabeth, thank you. this morning ukraine closed the airspace where flight 17 was apparently attacked. the faa warned pilots nearly three months ago to stay out of that area. malaysia airlines say it planes

flew roughy the same path 14 times in the last two weeks. thursday's path went just a little farther north than usual. >> in hours before the incident, a number of passenger aircraft from different carriers used the same route. there was no last-minute instructions given to the pilots of mh-17 to change the route of the flight. >> but this morning the airline is changing the route that its plane used between asia and europe. seth doane is in kuala lumpur where flight 17 was supposed to land last night. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there were 44 malaysians on board that aircraft, 15 of them based here in kuala lumpur. family members and next of kin have been coming to the airport searching for some sort of information. right now the family members and next of kin have been cordoned off, kept to one side of the

departure lounge, not allowed to talk to the press. earlier in the day cbs news did reach the wife of one of the pilots who told us that she was just too distraught to talk. she needed time to process what had happened. malaysia airline authorities have not yet released the manifest, the list of passengers' names who were onboard that plane and that is only adding to the frustration on the ground here. malaysia airlines has launched an investigation. that investigation being headquartered out of the building behind me, which is an airport hotel that we stood in front of just a couple of months ago during the search for the missing flight 370, that malaysian airlines flight that never landed on march 8th as it was scheduled to land in beijing. malaysia airlines is a state-owned company. to encounter two such dramatic tragedies in just a couple of months is a real blow for this company. not only economically but as a state-owned company there will

likely be political fallout too. margaret. >> seth, thank you. time to show you some of this morning's headlines. "the new york daily news" obtained video of a 400-pound man with asthma who died thursday after police put him in a choke hold while handcuffing him. eric garner, a married father of six, is heard repeatedly saying i can't breathe. he was suspected of selling untaxed cigarettes. the new york city police department's internal affairs division is investigating. the "los angeles times" says fedex is charged with delivering drugs from illegal online pharmacies to dealers and addicts. an indictment from a federal grand jury in san francisco says the shipping giant distributed the sleep aid and other drugs to customers with invalid prescriptions for ten years. fedex denies those charges. politico says house speaker john boehner is not optimistic about a deal to tackle the child immigration crisis at the border. republicans believe president

obama's request for $3.7 billion in emergency funding is too much and democrats object to the gop's plan to speed up the deportation of the central american children. the oregonian says the state's attorney general is suing the makers of the drink 5-hour energy. the lawsuit accuses the maker of false advertising and exaggerating the benefits. the company, though, defends its product saying the prosecutor is grasping at straws. iowa's quad city times breaks down a trip to the state by new jersey governor chris christie. he was there for republican fund-raisers, but he also stopped by a diner, where he served up an answer about a potential run for president in 2016. elaine quijano is in davenport, iowa, with the impact of that visit. elaine, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's been about two years since governor chris christie was last here in iowa. his trip here was officially about raising money for fellow republicans. but it was also about continuing to raise his national profile.

>> nice to meet you. >> reporter: governor chris christie received a rock star's welcome at mj's restaurant in eastern iowa. >> welcome to iowa! >> i'm happy to be back. >> reporter: fresh off a morning fund-raiser for the republican governors association, christie pledged to return to support state gop candidates, but the question on many people's mind, was he testing the waters for his own presidential run? >> i'm thinking about it. >> reporter: thinking about it was as committal as governor christie would get. outside mj's he addressed his presidential aspirations. >> the decision about whether to seek the presidency or not is such a deeply personal one. >> reporter: iowa, with its influential first in the nation presidential caucus is a proving ground for anyone considering a run for the white house. and for christie, it offered a chance to get back into the public eye. the governor had been keeping a lower than usual profile after the so-called bridgegate scandal involving lane closures on the george washington bridge. that scandal may help explain in part nbc news/marist poll

numbers released thursday which found that a third of iowa republicans view governor christie unfavorably, a number he was quick to dismiss. >> if you want to be universally loved in this business, then you're the absolute poster boy for being ineffective. >> all right, all right. >> reporter: christie finished up his trip at a fund-raiser for iowa governor terry branstad. becky caffer says she thinks he can work with republicans and democrats alike. >> i think he can work across the aisle, which i think is great. sounds like he had a democratic group to start with and i'm encouraged. i think that's what we need. >> reporter: so you like the idea that he can reach across the aisle. you said that's -- >> you bet. >> reporter: now even though governor christie has been noncommittal about a presidential run, later this month he'll head to new hampshire, another state with early presidential implications. gayle. >> all right, elaine, thank you. there is new information on that deadly bank robbery in california.

>> officials tell us they are still trying to determine whether u.s. citizens were aboard the malaysian flight. >> the only sounds we here are the roar of rockets. we do not know how long the ground offensive will last, and hamas has vowed to make israel pay dearly for it. two major wildfires burn out of control. >> and the tragedy, words cannot do justice to our sense of loss. >> today's "eye-opener at 8:00." is presented by comfort inn. i am charlie rose with gayle king, and margaret brennan, and norah o'donnell is off. an apparent missile strike

brought down the 777, and it was 30,000 feet in the sky. >> the airlines say the plane was functioning normally and made no distress call. cbs spoke to "the new york times" reporter. one of the first journalists on the scene. >> it was a long and empty country road with wheat fields on one side and grass on the other side, and bodies everywhere in the fields. it was very sad. there were rescuer kurz er workg through the field with sticks that marked each of the bodies' places. it was horrific. the plane just took off and people in the village looked up at the sky and saw it falling from the sky, suit cases with

belongings and bodies, but they didn't immediately know what they were seeing. some of the residents described the bodies as looking like they were pieces of cloth. there was a very large fire when it finally came out of the sky and burned for quite sometime. we had emergency workers on the scene for hours trying to put it out. the rebels wanted people to come out and look and show what was happening. they were convinced the ukrainians shot down the plane. they truly believed that. >> the crash of the malaysian airlines flight 17 was a double tragedy for one woman. her brother and sister-in-law were lost aboard malaysian flight 370, and another relative said this morning, quote, it just rips our guts out again. we just have to say something about that. it's so heartbreaking to look at the images we are seeing when you see the luggage and the shoes and the passports and to

hear one family suffered it twice. it's one of those days in the news where it's one sad thing after another and just when you think it can't get worse you hearing is like that. >> our thoughts are with all of them. american officials believe the plane was brought down by surface-to-air missile. we look at the sophisticated missile system that may be responsible. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning. u.s. intelligence is still trying to nail down exactly who fired the missile and from where. but all the evidence collected so far suggests pro-russan rebels shot down the plane by mistake. this is what shot down the malaysian airliner. it's a sophisticated weapon composed of radars and command vehicles and missile launchers.

it's listed as being in the military of the ukrainian military. it could also have been fired by russians operating inside eastern ukraine or from their own territory. it's made by a russian company which has advertised its capabilities with this animation showing it could look down what looks like an f-22 american fighter. earlier this week president obama included the manufacturer on a list of companies targeted by new sanctions aimed to punish russia for its support of the separatists fighters in ukraine. one of the biggest problems will be reserving the integrity of the evidence. the separatists say they have the black boxes and the

ukrainian government said the launcher that fired the missile has been spotted moving back towards russian territory where it would be presumably beyond the reach of investigators. and president obama said in delaware after the crash that the u.s. will help investigators try to find out what happened. jeff is in washington where american experts are waiting for their orders. good morning. >> those orders have just been handed down and the national transportation safety board confirmed they will send at least one representative to ukraine to assist in the investigation there, and we're also told the fbi is sending a small team as well. approximately 24 hours into the incident u.s. officials are concerned about how the debris field is being preserved. in any type of plane crash there are no more pieces of evidence

more than the black boxes, but there's confusion of who has them. the plane was 17 years old with more than 75,000 hours in service and a clean maintenance record, and the flight path was declared safe but within hours of the crash other carriers announced they would not be flying that route. american carriers were directed in april to avoid parts of the ukrainian airspace but last night the faa issued a notice that would prevent american airlines from flying in that area of the crash. >> flight 370 disappeared over the ocean in march with 239 people on board. peter, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> help us understand why this plane was flying over the war zone and therefore was downed? >> this plane is not alone.

there were dozens of commercial airlines using this route, and there was an issue saying please avoid the area, but it was not the eastern ukraine. as of yesterday you had many, many airlines using that route normally. now, of course they are diverting. >> if they are flying that high, at 30,000 feet they cannot be reached by the known weapons being used? >> exactly, because terrorists had a range of 10,000 feet and these planes are flying at 33,000, and so the assumption is that nobody had the capability of doing that. >> what will change? >> it's all changing already. you are going to see diversions all around the world over conflict areas as you see whether it's in asia, africa, south america, they are going to start rerouting those flights. >> let's talk about malaysia airlines, back to back tragedies in recent months and how do they

recover from that? >> to say they are challenged is an underestimate, because they were having financial problems before flight 370. there were no takers for the bailout, even before 370, and you can imagine the situation right now. this is a situation where the airline has to be grounded for now, and people are booking away from them in droves and their numbers are down and they are canceling routes. this is an airline that has a great safety record, although the odds of losing two airlines within a six-month period is unprecedented. >> and both triple 777s, too. >> it's an incredibly safe air phraoeu plane, other than the asiana crash in san francisco which was pilot error, and the 370, i am

out of ideas. >> there were no americans on board? >> none confirmed. >> right, but it's an american-made airline. >> yeah, and as you heard with jeff's report and david's report, it's a question of preserving the scene itself. if you can't preserve the scene -- it's not just about the black boxes, all that will tell you is when the plane was hit, but what you need to do is the forensic trail on the ground and looking for residue, and whether there were marks of triation, all of those things. >> israel troops on the ground are moving deeper into gaza today. it comes after ten days of air assaults from both sides, and this morning israeli prime

minister netanyahu threatened to expand the ground invasion, significantly, he says. holly is tracking the story. >> reporter: we have not seen any israeli troops in gaza this morning, and the streets are empty and it's a ghost town, and the only things we hear are the thud of incoming shellings and the roar of outgoing rockets. it's a heavy night of bombardment last night clearing the way for israeli soldiers and tanks to move into the gaza strip. israel says it will be a limited offensive and not an auoccupati, and it's aimed at destroying tunnels that are used to infiltratise israel. ishes's government said it was that attack and rocket fire by militants during what was supposed to be a brief humanitarian cease-fire

yesterday that forced it to act and defend its own citizens. we do not know how long the ground offensive will last, but hamas, the militant group that controls the gaza strip has vowed to make israel pay dearly for it. ahead on "cbs this morning," the satellite company helping first responders deal with disasters. now from space, it's turning its view towards the crash of,,

in our "morning rounds," an update on a story we've been

telling you about. the spread of a dangerous mosquito-born virus. the vie was was originally detected in the caribbean seven months ago. the two new cases involve americans who did not recently travel outside the country. yikes. our dr. holly phillips joins us at the table. i d chikungunya, i wasn't sure if i wanted to eat it. >> not this one. a person travels outside of the states to an area where there's more of this virus. it's really endemic right now in the caribbean. in fact, puerto rico just declared an evpidemic of chikungunya. the way it works is people travel outside of the united states, get bitten there. they come back home and get bitten be i a mosquito here that

didn't carry the virus. that mosquito then bites the person next to them and the naub and that's how it's spread locally. so the people in florida -- >> so the people didn't become a carrier for the mosquitos that bite them later. yeah. you know, charlie, it's not justs that the mosquitos transmit the virus to us, we transmit it to mosquitos and they pass it on. that's why it's so alarming. >> what do you do about it? >> it's all about preventing the mosquito bite. there's treatment for symptoms only so we really sort of have to pay attention of not being outside at dusk and dawn when mosquitos are most active and getting rid of standing water near the house. also important to recognize the symptoms. the main ones are feeb and joint pain and although the virus is serious it's rarely fatal. it's about recognizing the symptoms early and getting rid of it.

>> is bug spray a solution to this? >> bug spray plays a role but it's important to stay covered up. >> i find no redeeming qualities in mosquitos. >> i'm with you. we continue with the coverage of the plane crash disaster. deborah hersman will join us. the extraordinary challenges investigators face in war zone. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: cbs "morning rounds" sponsored by purina. your pet, our passion. i know what you're thinking. you're thinking beneful.

the evidence. >> is it already questionable? >> i think we have already seen a lot of people engaged with the wreckage whether it's on roads or on farms or in the main wreckage area, and that can compromise the scene. what is most important is that you have those pertinent pieces of evidence. if there was a missile strike, you want to make sure that you have the area of the aircraft where that initial penetration took place and where you have that tell tale signature of what happened and you want to make sure you have the black boxes and all the other information that can corroborate what happened, because an accident investigation is not about one piece of evidence but the totality of the information. >> there are conflicting reports about the black boxes if they have been found and who has them. it is important that the right person investigates the information, because i understand there's a skill to

getting the information from the black boxes? >> absolutely. where you have fire damage or water damage or a thermal affect to the boxes, you have the right people need to read them out. it's a skill. it takes exsppertise. it's hard to recover that information, so you want to make sure that you really preserve that and the right people have access to it. >> what role do you think the u.s. can and should play in this investigation? >> i think certainly our leaders are looking to hold an international investigation where you have the right people who are at the table, the right people who are present and the international protocols really do make space for that. the country of occurrence, the state of occurrence where the accident occurs is generally designated as the lead but you have the state of manufacturer, which is the united states through the boeing aircraft and

the ntsb as well as the malaysians who are the state of the operator, and you have a lot of people converging together to try and solve the puzzle and put the pieces back together and determine what happened. >> debra, thank you. when malaysian flight 370 disappeared back in march a colorado company allowed the world to search for clues from its satellite photos. this morning that same team is working to capture images of the field. it's the next satellite that could give a sharper view when it is needed most. >> if you want to see the newest eye headed for the sky, it means suiting up in the clean room with walter scout who founded satellite imaging company, digital globe. he has a parent's pride for

missile, though suspicion has immediately fallen on the moscow-backed rebels. david martin is at the pentagon with the latest. >> u.s. intelligence has determined the airliner was shot down by what was likely a russian made surface to air missile called the buk fired from a location near the russian border probably on the ukrainian side of the border in territory held by pro-russian rebels. the u.s. intelligence does not know whether russians were involved in the shoot down, but the buk is a sophisticated system which the rebels probably could not operate on their own. u.s. intelligence also does not know if it was deliberate or accidental, but the assumption continues to be that whoever launched it, thought they were hitting a military -- >> yesterday, malaysian airlines

flight mh-17 took off from amsterdam and was shot down over ukraine near the russian border. nearly 300 innocent lives were taken. men, women, children, infants who had nothing to did with the dry assist in ukraine. their deaths are a outrage of unspeakable proportions. we know at least one american citizen, quinn lucas was killed. our thoughts and prayers are with his family for this terrible lost. yesterday, i spoke with the leaders of ukraine, malaysia and the netherlands. i told them that our thoughts and prayers are with all the families and that the mesh people stand with them during this difficult time. later today i'll speak with the prime minister of australia which also suffered a terrible

loss. by far, the country that lost the most people an board the plane was the netherlands. the dutch have been close friends and allies of the united states of america and today i want the dutch people to know we stand with you shoulder to shoulder in our grief and determination to get to the bottom of what happened. here's what we know so far. evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by a surface to air missile launched from an area controlled by russian-backed separatists inside ukraine. we also know this is not the first time a plane has been shot down in eastern ukraine. over the last several weeks they have shot down a ukrainian transport plane and helicopter and claim responsibility for shooting down a ukrainian fig fighter jet. we know they have received support from russia.

this includes arms and training. it includes heavy weapons. and it includes anti-aircraft weapons. here's what's happened now. this was a global tragedy. an asian airliner was destroyed in european skies filled with citizens from many countries. so there has to be a credible international investigation into what happened. the u.n. security council has endorsed this investigation and we will hold all the members including russia to their word in order to facilitate that investigation. russia, pro-russian separatists and ukraine must adhere to an immediate cease fire. evidence must not be tampered with, investigators need to access the crash site and the task of returning those lost on board the plane to their loved ones needs to go forward

immediately. the united states stands ready to provide any assistance that is necessary. we've already offered the support of the fbi and the national transportation safety board which has experience in working with international partners on these types of investigations. they are on their way. personnel from the fbi and the national transportation safety board. i'll continue to be in close contact with leaders from around the world as we respond to this catastrophe. our immediate focus will be on recovering those lost, investigating exactly what happened and putting forward the facts. i want to point out there will likely be misinformation as well. i think it's important for folks to sift through what is factually based and what is simply speculation. no one can deny the truth that is revealed in the awful images that we all have seen. and the eyes of the world are on

eastern ukraine and we are going to make sure that the truth is out. more broadly, i think it's important for us to recognize that this outrageous event underscores that it is time for peace and security to be restored in ukraine. for months we've support add path way to peace and the ukrainian government has reached out to all ukrainians put forward a peace plan and lived up to a cease fire despite violations by the separatists. violations that took the lives of ukrainian soldiers and personnel. more over time again russia has refused to take the concrete steps necessary to deescalate the situation. i spoke to president putin yesterday, he said he wasn't happy with them and i told him that we had been very clear from the outset that we want russia to take the path that would

result in peace in ukraine, but so far, russia has failed to take that path. instead, it has continued to violate ukrainian sovereignty and so pup tort violent separatists. it also failed to press the separatists to abide by a cease fire. that's why together with allies we've imposed growing costs on russia. so now i think a somber and appropriate time for all of us to take a step back and ake a hard look at what has happened. violence and conflict lead to unforseen consequences. russia, these separatists and ukraine all have the capacity to put an end to the fighting. meanwhile, the united states is going to continue to lead efforts within the world community to deescalate the situation to stand up for the sovereignty and teartorial integrity of ukraine and support the people of ukraine as they

work to strengthen their democracy and make their even decisions about how they should move forward. let me remark on one other issue. this morning i spoke with prime minister netanyahu about the situation in gaza. we discussed israel's military operation in gaza including the efforts to stop the terrorist infiltration through tunnels into israel. i reaffirm my strong support. no nation should accept rockets being fired into its borders. while i was having the conversation with him, sirens went off in tel-aviv. i also made clear that the united states and our friends and allies are deeply concerned about the risks of further escalation and the loss of more innocent life. and that's what i we've indicated although we support military efforts by the israelis

to make sure rockets are not bein fired into their territory, we also have said that our understanding is the current military ground operations are designed to teal with the tunnels and we are hopeful that israel will continue to approach this process in a way that minimizes civilian casualties and that all of us are working hard to return to the cease fire that was reached in november of 2012. secretary kerry is working to support the initiative to pursue that outcome. i told prime minister netanyahu that john is prepared to travel to the region. let me close with this comment. on board malaysian airlines flight mh-17 there were apparently nearly 100 researchers and advocates traveling to
