there'll be testing in september. there are other things cocktails of drugs for example. two drugs that treat the virus and then combine that with the vaccine. this would be given afternoon somebody's been exposed but these are not available for prime time any time soon. >> all right, jon. thank you. i know you'll be back the next hour with some of the myths about contracting ebola. thanks very much. many people have questions about the ebola virus. you can find answers this morning on cbsnews.com where there's up-to-date news from the cdc and the world health organization. this morning the latest effort to end the conflict in gaza exploded in new violence. there's word coming in militants capture and may have killed israeli soldiers. a 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire held for less than two hours. palestinian officials say israeli tanks shelled southern gaza. israel's prime minister said hamas fired first. barry petersen is in gaza

tracking those soldiers. barry, good morning. >> reporter: well people woke here at 8:00 in the morning to an unusual sound, the sound of silence. but now the war is back on with a vengeance. there was an artillery hit just over there and we're hearing a lot of small arms fire, maybe 50 cal fire out in that direction. hamas says it's killed israeli soldiers and claimed to have captured one alive. the palestinians say the israeli strikes have overwhelmed their hospitals. 35, 40 dead maybe 300 injured, mostly women and children. it was a brutal end to the brief hope for peace. the familiar deadly explosions of ar tilley meant both sides were at it again, but for a few hours while the cease-fire lasted people hurried out to shop finding store shelves increasingly bear. at markets there was fruit and vegetables but prices had doubled. people can look but many cannot afford to buy. this shop had chickens when it

opened for the first time in two weeks. it was sold out in two hours. >> how are people in gaza going to eat if farmers like you are not able to raise food? it is hard to make a meal says this shop owner. we only have simple things, cheese bread, and vegetables. a lot of times shops are closed because owners are afraid to drive across the city. other times because the owner or a member of family has been killed and they're still in mourning. and there are other shortages like water. as for power, there is none at all. the israelis hit the power plants earlier this week destroying fuel tanks and turbine generators. some people have generators at home they can run when they get gas. many do not. no power means no lights. this is a city now driven back to a kind of dark ages. there was hope that a long

cease-fire would let palestinians resupply buying food and humanitarian aid from the israeli side. now that is not going to happen. life here norah, is just going to get harder. >> all right barry. thank you. and the failure of this morning's cease-fire is a major setback for secretary of state john kerry. margaret brennan is at the state department. margaret, good morning. what does this mean now? >> good morning, norah. it means once again the diplomats want a truce more than either israel or hamas. secretary kerry is onboard his plane right now flying from india to washington and we know he's already spoken to the israeli prime minister. he's working the phones speaking to the u.n. he's also talked to the qataries here who are negotiating on behalf of hamas. he's trying to save this cease-fire, which he has been working on virtually around the clock, but u.s. diplomats have acknowledged events on the ground trump any words at the negotiating table. a truce is also a test of

fighters on the ground will actually honor what their political leaders order them to do. also questions about other militant groups and whether they will listen. what has happened overnight has raised these new questions, and many of the american negotiators had already arrived in cairo to begin what were sun posed to be rs worth of negotiations to hammer out a longer term end to the fighting. so far the israeli delegation has stopped short of saying they'll walk away. this is being handled minute by minute here norah. >> margaret thank you. there is devastation in taiwan this morning after a series of deadly underground gas explosions. cameras caught the blast last night. they were so powerful they tossed cars into the air. at least 25 people were killed and nearly 270 injured. this morning several streets are deep trenches of debris and dirt. now, this happened in taiwan's second largest city in a neighborhood that's near some

>> can you talk to us for one minute? >> we really don't have anything to say at this point. >> reporter: senators got the full story for if t first time. the cia inspector general told him his agency found five agency employees improperly accessed the intelligence committee's e-mail files. >> the key issues are who authorized this and why they thought it was legal. >> reporter: the breaches happened in 2010 and again in 2014 as the intelligence committee reviewed thousands of cia documents as part of its investigation into past interrogation tactics.ño suspected they were being spied on after some of their files disappeared. cia director john brennan denied it earlier this year. >> we wouldn't have do that. i mean that's -- that's just beyond the -- you know, the

scope of reason. >> reporter: on thursday the cia said brennan had apologized to the committee. but that wasn't good enough for colorado democrat mark udall citing a failure of leadership. saxby chambliss wouldn't have go that far but did say -- >> this is very very serious and i will tell you as a member of the committee, someone who has great respect for the cia, i am extremely disappointed. >> reporter: the white house press secretary says the president still does have confidence in the cia director and pointed out that brennan has created an internal accountability board to see if anyone should be punished at the agency. >> this is such a big story. nancy, thank you. two executives and longtime friends got into a struggle. one is struggling for his life after he was shot in a high-rise

building. they birth their business from the ground up. dean francis shows what triggered yesterday's violence. >> reporter: what began as a routine workday rapidly disintegrated into chaos. >> people were crying. >> it was nuts. there were helicopters overhead. >> reporter: the incident began over the week after tony defrances learned he was being demoted. on thursday he entered the 17th floor of this building for a private meeting with the company's founder and ceo steven leavoy. at just before 10:00 a.m. police say shots were fired. >> during that one-on-one, he produce add firearm, there was apparently a struggle over the firearm. the ceo was struck twice. >> reporter: s.w.a.t. teams immediately rushed in to secure the area. >> it was like a war, almost like an army. >> reporter: defrances died of a

self-inflicted shotgun wound. lavau lavau wi was taken to the hospital. >> reporter: the two had worked together since the company was found 14d years ago and were known to be friends. in a statement lavoie's family said our thoughtsith tragedy. both are asking for privacy as friends and colleagues search for answers in the city's latest round of gun violence. for "cbs this morning," dean reynolds, chicago. and in "the new york times" this morning a criminal defense attorney said he's been hired by cuomo. he repeat idly warned quo mecuomo he may look for further charges. >> now, that 25-member panel was supposed to spend 18 months rooting out political corruption

in 14 states. they report thad his top aides repeatedly blocked investigators. rickeykki klieman is here this morning. we reached out. no one responded. why is the u.s. attorney involved here? >> the u.s. attorney originally became involved because of the abrupt end of this commission. so the u.s. attorney a very powerful u.s. attorney said we're going to finish the commission's work, we're looking at corruption which was perfectly permissible for him to do. but that's months ago. so now this has escalated. why has it escalated? governor cuomo got his surrogates out there, the people who were on the commission to say, hey, this commission was fine, the governor the governor's people they never bothered us, and the u.s.

attorney said well isn't this intriguing. suddenly we have this onslot of the governor's people saying everything is fine so he took the bull by the horns. >> does that suggest criminal witness tampered? >> it certainly suggests it as well as an obstruction of justice. the u.s. attorney's office says hey, governor lay off my witnesses and if you persist even by telling them to go forward and say everything is just great we're in this we're looking at you, and we're not letting go. >> and "the new york times" is reporting that the co-chair of this commission has changed his story. privately he had expressed frustration about meddling from the government's office with this investigation. >> yes that's correct, at least as we understand it. that mr. fitzpatrick expressed not only orally but perhaps has expressed it through e-mails and said he wanted the governor out of this, that it's independent.

now he's saying it's just all fine. preet ba harrah doesn't like that. >> thanks so much. ahead on "cbs this morning," ray rice says his wife can do no wrong. well we'll get reaction from cbs's james brown after the fnl star breaks >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by the makers of zyrtec. zyrtec. muddle no more.

anywhere from one to two whimper day or week that are killed by their spouses or partners it's a very serious situation. >> which makes it to me even more surprising that the nfl would give a two-game suspension. >> there's been an awful lot of pushback to the league and rightfully so in terms of the decision made by roger goodell. two-game suspension is not the right sentence. >> congress asked him to stiffen the penalty saying it reflects a disturbing lenient even cavalier attitude towards violence against women. how big a deal is this for the nfl? is there a cavalier attitude about women and domestic violence? >> i wouldn't have go so far as to say cavalier. norah, i think it's reflective of how society deals with it. this has been a serious issue for a long time. don't jump on the horse because it's in the news. let's stay with it because it is an issue.

i give ray rice credit. he is in a program and counseling and it wasn't just to escape, if you will a prosecution, if you will or a longer suspension. he said he would have taken any suspension and rightfully so. >> do you think goodell will have to say anything on this. they'll have to make some change? >> i'm sure they liked to see that. >> is he a distraction at this point or like he said in a statement, will his teammates, his brotherhood welcome him back? >> from the outside they won't want to look at that as a distraction. his brotherhood will welcome him back into the fold. i just home a number of the guys take this seriously because there are a lot of guys engaged that activity right now who need to be exposed and this needs to be focused on seriously. >> great. thank you. great to have you sitting at the table. you'll be sitting in for scott pelley on "cbs evening news." you've been sitting there all
