7:03 am
become political. >> and we've got some breaking news on that this morning. >> as you wake up in the west the worldwide concerns over israel's main airport for the second straight day, airlines are choosing to stay away even though an faa ban is set to expire in two hours. secretary of state john kerry says progress is being made toward ending the fighting between israel and hamas. he flew to tel aviv overnight. kerry arrived on a military jet the day after the faa imposed a ban on american commercial flights to israel. >> a rocket that hit near the airport remains the new center of attention for travelers worldwide. don dahler is there which is open for business but as you can see is not very busy. don, good morning to you. >> reporter: that's true good morning. usually ben gurion is much lizber but the security lines are completely empty. on any given day israel's only international airport usually only has 1,000 passengers coming from or to the united states. despite the heavy toll that the israeli defense forces have had
7:04 am
against hamas fighters and tunnels and rocket launchers, hamas continues to fight, albeit with much fewer israeli casualties. passengers in tel aviv's airport scrambled for shelter yesterday when hamas launched three rockets in their direction. two rockets were reportedly intercepted by israel's iron dome defense system. but one of the rockets destroyed this house less than a mile from the airport. no one was injured. the homeowner had left for work five minutes earlier. >> if the 2,000 or so rockets fired out of gaza were more accurate or not knocked down by israel's air defense system this would be a much more common sight. >> reporter: this was the worst direct hit on an israeli home. its proximity to the airport sent a shudder through the international aviation community, still stunned by the shooting down of malaysian flight 17 over ukraine. the hamas rocket strike prompted a wide-scale cancellation of flights.
7:05 am
in gaza the third war there in just over five years has taken the lives of at least 600 palestinians, most of them civilians. the israeli defense force is focused on eliminating hamas rocket launch sites and tunnels. at least three israeli civilians and 29 israeli soldiers have died in this most recent conflict. this morning, tens of thousands of people gathered in jerusalem for the funeral of american israeli soldier max steinberg. the 24-year-old from california was among the 13 israeli defense force soldiers killed on sunday. >> the whole country is in mourning. every single person here is in mourning. this young man was like our son, and everybody feels that. >> reporter: israel is unlikely to stop its campaign in gaza until it feels security has been established. the past conflicts in gaza always ended with a cease-fire but none of those cease-fires ever address the underlying problems.
7:06 am
u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon is in the area trying to bring an end to the violence. norah? >> there is pushback from a prominent american over the faa ban. former new york city mayor michael bloomberg says the flight restrictions hand an undeserved victory to hamas. and in a show of support for israel, bloomberg, a billionaire who usually flies private, flew to tel aviv last night on the israeli airline el al. >> sure i'd take the flight. it's safe and it's efficient and it's a great way to travel. and el al is a great airlines and we have a lot of american airlines that are great too. i just want them all to be able to fly around the world and land safely and in peace. i think this is probably the safest airport in the whole world. safer than any airport we have. >> thank you very much. >> chip reid is in washington with the controversial decision. chip good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the faa ban on u.s. flights runs through 9:15 pacific time this morning, but with hamas
7:07 am
threatening more rocket attacks on the tel aviv airport, some airlines, including delta, have already announced this morning they will not fly into israel at any time today. yesterday airlines reacted quickly after a rocket fired from gaza slammed into a neighborhood just north of tel aviv's ben gurion airport. a delta flight from new york to tel aviv did a u-turn diverting to paris. u.s. airways cancelled its flight from philadelphia and united scrubbed trips out of newark, underscoring the danger alarms sounded again late tuesday inside the airport as two rockets were shot down. in a notice to u.s. airlines the faa made the standdown mandatory, warning of a potentially hazardous situation created by the armed conflict in israel and gaza. the order will be updated as the situation in israel changes. >> chip thanks. we're getting word right now of a plane crash in taiwan. it happened during an emergency landing. a taiwanese news agency predicts dozens are dead. vinita nair is in our newsroom tracking developments. >> reporter: at least 51 people are reported killed in the
7:08 am
accident. the plane reportedly belongs to transasia airways. the south china morning post obtained these images of the disaster scene. it reports the plane took off from the southwestern part of the mainland traveling to an island to the west. the captain reportedly asked for a second chance to land because of bad weather. as you may know a typhoon hit the region. taiwanese transportation authorities report the aircraft caught fire after landing at the end of the runway at 5:30 p.m. local time. the remaining seven passengers and crew are hospitalized with burns. locals say they could hear explosions. charlie. >> thanks. new developments in ukraine this morning. pro-russian rebels claim they shot down two ukrainian fighter jets not far from where malaysia flight 17 was brought down. planes carrying the first bodies from that attack arrived in the netherlands moments ago. the remains left ukraine nearly a week after the boeing 777 was hit by a missile, but mark phillips shows us why more bodies could still be at the crash site.
7:09 am
he's on the scene at grabovo. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well it is six days since this plane came down here and finally the victims' bodies the moving of them for the process of identification to the netherlands is under way. but there is a problem with the numbers. there were 298 people on this plane and they have not all been accounted for. the first of the victims began the journey home from a place they never intended to be. the ukrainians organized a military honor guard as coffins were loaded onto the dutch cargo plane. other flights full of similar coffins will follow. but how many coffins? ukrainian and dutch officials have been dealing with the grim accounting. the numbers don't add up. >> there were more people on the plane, there were more remains to be found. and we are not in the position at this moment to put all the remains to persons.
7:10 am
what we are sure of are 200. >> reporter: and that confirms what malaysian crash inspectors the first on the site and observers from the osce the european security agency have seen. victims' remains were removed from the crash site and placed on a train carrying them out of rebel country, but they have had trouble with the numbers from the beginning. >> i was told there were 298 bodies. on that train we could not independently verify that. as we walk around we are still seeing body parts, not whole bodies. but from the day we arrived here, we've never stheen kind of really detailed combing over of the land. >> reporter: and for the malaysian aviation inspectors looking for clues at the crash site, there's another problem. the wreckage that isn't here anymore. this is already a highly compromised crime scene. there is no security. and parts have been moved around, cut into even taken
7:11 am
away. they aren't just parts, they're evidence. it may be that any chance of carrying out a full and credible inquiry here has gone. and if the stench that's still around this place is any indication, there are still parts of victims' remains in this wreckage. and right now, nobody is looking for them. norah? >> incredible mark thank you. and this morning the u.s. is blaming russia for creating conditions that led to the attack on 298 innocent people. david martin is at the pentagon with the most detailed outline of the government's case against russia. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. u.s. intelligence officials say all the evidence still points in the same direction, that russia provided the missile used to shoot down that airliner. pictures of the wreckage show pitting intelligence officials say is consistent with shrapnel from the warhead of a surface-to-air missile. in a conversation intercepted by ukrainian intelligence a known
7:12 am
pro-russian rebel leader is overheard reporting we have just shot down a plane, although he did not yet know it was a civilian airliner. still, one intelligence official said we do not know who pulled the trigger. but senator saxby chambliss, the ranking republican on the senate intelligence committee, said intelligence he's seen shows either way russia is to blame. >> vladimir putin should be held accountable regardless of whether it was a russian soldier or a russian-sponsored separatist that pulled the trigger. russia either shot down the plane itself or directly gave separatists the order and the ability to do so. >> reporter: u.s. intelligence believes the missiles came from this base in russia and were smuggled into ukraine in recent weeks as part of a general buildup of rebel forces after they had suffered setbacks at the hands of the ukrainian military. photos which u.s. intelligence could not independently verify posted on social media in the days before the shootdown show
7:13 am
an sa-11 missile launcher also known as a buk, moving through towns in rebel-controlled parts of ukraine. but u.s. intelligence did not know about the missiles until the day of the shootdown when it detected a surface-to-air missile launch at the same time the airliner disappeared from radar. another social media posting the day after the shootdown purported to show an sa-11 launcher with one of its missiles missing being trucked out of ukraine back into russia. russia and the rebels it supports have claimed the airliner was shot down by a missile belonging to the ukrainian military but u.s. intelligence officials dismiss that claim as very unlikely. charlie. >> david, thanks. coverage for millions of americans enrolled under president obama's health care law may be in jeopardy this morning. on tuesday two federal appeals courts issued conflicting rulings. at issue, whether the government can help pay for insurance premiums bought on exchanges set up by the government but the
7:14 am
white house is stressing that subsidies for those enrolled will not be affected. >> while this ruling is interesting to legal theorists, it has no practical impact on their tax credits right now. you don't need a fancy legal degree to understand that congress intended for every eligible american to have access to tax credits that would lower their health care costs. >> jan crawford is at the supreme court where justices will likely take on obamacare again. jan, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning charlie charlie. you almost got whiplash yesterday. first of all you had this blog buster ruling by an appeals court that said because of the way the law was written everyone that got health care insurance through the federal exchange you know the website, healthcare.gov, was not going to be eligible for a tax credit or subsidy to help them pay for their premiums. that would be a big deal because upwards of five million people in 36 states get their insurance through that healthcare.gov and
7:15 am
87% of them are getting subsidies to help pay for their premiums. if you can't get subsidies, a lot of people across the country will not be able to afford to pay for health insurance. but wait there's more. then just a few hours later, another federal appeals court, this one down in virginia ruled just the opposite in a similar case saying yes, you can still get those tax credits if you get your health insurance through the federal exchanges or if you get them through your state. so we've got this split now, and you can be sure there's going to be an appeal charlie. >> do you think the court will take another look? >> i think absolutely. this is something the supreme court once again is going to have to wade into and take another run at the obamacare law. in this case even more so perhaps than the other two that the court has taken a look at is huge if this decision is allowed to stand. it's one the judges pointed out yesterday, if you can't get those subsidies in the federal exchange, the entire economic underpinnings of this will crumble. this morning new york city
7:16 am
police are trying to solve a mystery atop one of the city's most famous structures. someone scaled the brooklyn bridge and replaced old glory with white flags early tuesday. michelle miller is near the bridge with the daring act raising some security concerns of a potential terror target. michelle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, everything appears to be normal at one of the city's most famous and secure landmarks right now, but tuesday morning when two mysterious white flags suddenly appeared high above the east river, the safety and security of this iconic bridge was called into question. where american flags normally fly, a pair of white imposters were discovered early tuesday morning. police say a small team of people planted these bleached american flags, the stars and stripes barely visible, on whitewashed fabric. the unusual sight created major buzz on social media. around 11:00 a.m. emergency
7:17 am
crews scaled the cables and replaced the flags, but the new york police department is still trying to determine how they were switched in the first place. the company earth cam captured this video tuesday morning. everything appears normal. but around the flag the lights suddenly go dark. >> we are requesting the help of the public on this issue. >> reporter: new york police commissioner bill bratton said investigators are looking into exactly how someone could access a bridge 27 stories above ground and under 24-hour surveillance. >> there was some preoperational preparation. >> reporter: john miller said locked gates were scaled and aluminum pans had been molded and then placed over the lights. >> it has no particular nexus to terrorism or even politics. this may be somebody's art project or it may be an attempt at making some kind of
7:18 am
statement. >> reporter: police have been put on alert by recent security breaches at other new york landmarks. last year an impromptu dance party on the neighboring manhattan bridge caused the nypd to announce an increase in bridge security. and in september, base jumpers broke into and then leapt from one world trade center. >> we don't take these things lightly. these are issues of trespass. they put themselves in danger they put others in danger. >> reporter: now, police say that they have surveillance video of four to five men crossing the bridge about 20 minutes before those flags were switched, and the brooklyn borough president here he says that he is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest of any suspect. this morning the costa concordia is finally on its way to a scrap yard in northern italy. crews spent the past few days tilting the luxury liner

down. >> good morning. in russia where most media are state owned or heavily influenced by the kremlin, the official line is that its leaders have no responsibility for the tragedy. instead, numerous alternatives are being floated. on monday russian officials suggested mh17 was brought down by a ukrainian fighter jet flying nearby. >> translator: with what aim was a military plane flying along a civilian route at the same time and at the same flight level as a passenger liner. >> reporter: the warplane the russians say they detected is a ground attack aircraft. that's just one of the many explanations gaining currency. hours after the news broke, russian broadcasters questioned if it was perhaps a failed assassination attempt on russia president vladimir putin. >> it's claimed that the president's jet crossed paths over warsaw at the same height
