tv Andrea Mitchell Reports MSNBC July 23, 2014 9:00am-10:01am PDT
9:00 am
president abbas and others in the region in order to achieve it. and i can tell you that we have in the last 24 hours made some progress in moving towards that goal. >> some progress. returning home in the netherlands. a sad homecoming as the first plane arrives with the remains from mh-17. ♪ even as the investigation continues into who took down the passenger jet over rebel-held territory in eastern ukraine, today, smoke, flames, and charred wreckage littered the landscape once again with reports that two ukrainian fighter jets were shot down by pro-russian separatists. we don't yet know whom. plus, police hunt for whoever climbed the bridge. the brooklyn bridge to take down the stars and stripes and replace it with a white frlag o
9:01 am
surrender. good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell here in new york today. secretary of john kerry in the middle east meeting with leaders on both sides trying to push for a cease-fire between israel and hamas. after meeting with president mahmoud abbas in the west bank, kerry said that progress has been made. >> the people in palestinian territories, the people in israel are all living under the threat or reality of immediate violence. and this needs to end for everybody. we need to find a way forward that works. and it's not violence but today
9:02 am
violence is concentrated east of gaza city in a poor district but palestinian ambulances can't get to the many wounded and dead there. and between emergency calls, they checked the supplies. he says he can't go where he's needed most. we get calls that there are injured there and bleeding to death, he says, but we can't go in. last time he did manage to get in, this is what he found. first, a face like a corpse. then she moved and breathed. 24-year-old had been buried under the debris of her home for two days before the team rescued her. a doctor tells us all of her family was killed. they don't expect asman to survive.
9:03 am
>> joining me with the latest from both sides, nbc's martin fletcher and from gaza, ayman mohyeldin. the toll on israel, 29 soldiers killed, three civilians killed so far. in gaza, obviously disproportionate because of the density of the population. 666 deaths, many of them children. 35 people killed today. 4200 total wounded. ayman, first to you, the pressure, the death toll, we've seen it in your reporting and richard engel's reporting. is there increasing pressure on the leaders of hamas or is there instead growing anger against israel? >> reporter: well, andrea, to update you on the case that we just heard in richard's report, that woman found under the rubble sadly passed away today
9:04 am
despite the fact that she had been discovered and taken to the hospital. she did not make it through the night. and that certainly adds more to the grief that most palestinians here are dealing with. i've spoken to so many people. there isn't one person in gaza that i have spoken to that has not had a loved one either injured, displaced or killed because of this ongoing conflict. what that does is anger the palestinians towards israel and for the international community which they say is a neglect on their part to intervene and try to save their lives. we've asked every person we have talked to on the streets and ask if they blame hamas. they say no. they see hamas as a group of resistant fighters trying to stop the onslaught for years. despite the fact that we've
9:05 am
posed that question to most people we've spoken to on the ground here, andrea. >> and understandably, these are the people under fire. martin fletcher, you've seen so many questions in the palestinian disputes. publicly supportive, though we're hearing even from the phone call that president obama made to netanyahu on sunday already saying that the death toll is just too crushing and that israel, having supported the cease-fire before, has to come up with a solution and has to be much more tactical in the way that they respond. let's also revisit the situation, though, at the airport. the flights were canceled, lufthansa canceled all flights to and from israel. we know that john kerry was called in by netanyahu yesterday protesting vigorously against the faa decision.
9:06 am
in support today, el al, michael bloomberg flew on the israeli airline to show solidarity with israel's people. are you hearing anything different from israel's officials as the world pressure increases on israel? >> just to speak on the narrow subject of the airline ban, there is outrage in the israeli government on that. they say it's rewarding terror and they want that ban turned over as quickly as possible and they are waiting to see how the faa responds within the next hours, though, because the ban by the faa creates a domino effect among european airlines and now if the faa overturns that decision, israel will follow. i have to say, you referred to my time here. i think that the speed of the
9:07 am
killing in gaza among the palestinians is pretty much quicker than any of the past. a number of dead and wounded is happening so quickly. the attack is so intense. but one has to say that israel, when they claim that the reason so many civilians are dying is that hamas is located almost all of their military infrastructure in that area, even though you can say, yes, it's a very densely populated area. nevertheless, that's where the enemy is and there's no other way to get at them except to warn the people to leave and then to attack those -- that infrastructure. as ayman just described, he didn't find anyone that has bad words about hamas. it's the same in israel but to a lessor extent. the left wing is against it but for the most part, israelis believe this now is the time
9:08 am
they have to hit hamas. yes, there have been very few casualties among israel but that's not true for want of hamas who fired rockets specifically at israeli populations. that's been their goal. they have been unsuccessful because israel has been able to defend themselves. if hamas had their way, they would have killed as many israelis as they could. they say don't blame us for defending ourselves. but the people are increasingly behind the government saying this is the time to take out hamas and do what it takes. it's going to be tough, hard and it's much harder on the palestinians than it is on israel. a little sign that israel or hamas is in the mood to stop fighting, even though all attention is focused on john kerry and the secretary general of the united nations trying to get some -- trying to bring the two sides closer together and there's no sense that there is progress even though the secretary of state says that
9:09 am
they are making progress but there's a long way to go. there is a very long way to go and a lot more time for the fighting. >> and we're just seeing kerry meet with netanyahu. that's going to be a very complicated conversation because the palestinians, the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas was more or less supportive of the u.s. position, they went to cairo, other arab leaders as well. also, just one quick final note, also in jerusalem today, 30,000 people, none of them relatives, 30,000 israelis turned out to show solidarity for max steinberg, the young american who was fighting for the israeli defense as part of the israeli army. he was one of two american victims. 30,000 people turned out and kerry paid a private visit to his parents as well who had
9:10 am
flown over to the united states for the funeral today. meanwhile, mourning, also -- and ayman, thank you and martin fletcher for all of your reporting and to richard engel. mourning in the netherlands as two planes arrived at a dutch military base carrying the remains of some of the passengers from mh-17. mourners including the dutch prime minister, king and queen of the netherlands noting a moment of silence. they were being transported to a facility where they will be identified and returned to their families. this comes as ukraine reported that two of its fighter jets were shot down today near the border with justice. potentially the fourth military plane downed in only the last two weeks. joining me now is nbc's katy tur from the netherlands and keir simmons from ukraine by phone and with me is a professor at the new school and senior fellow at the new world policy
9:11 am
institute where she directs the russia project. first to you, katy, this horrible scene today. a number of dutch people who were killed, proportionately the number of same americans killed during 9/11. >> reporter: the tragedy is on a similar scale. it's odd to compare them that way but it's a very, very small country and 200-plus dead for them is quite a few. we've seen the first bodies come. obviously there's still quite a few more that have not arrived that will arrive in the coming days. even more still that have not been located among that wreckage or in that debris field. but we did see 40 bodies today and there was a moment of silence. each of those 40 bodies getting its own coffin, its own hearse, restoring the dignity to those that lost their lives, dignity that they were not offered when they were left to rot in a field
9:12 am
in ukraine while there was political infighting going on. that is really what was so astoundingly harsh to a lot of the family members that i spoke with. yes, this is a horrible situation. yes, the plane got shot out of the sky. their loved ones are gone. to add insult to injury, to leave them there while there is fighting going on is too much for a lot of these loved ones to bear. and there's about 1,000 of them here today to pay their respects. some of them you can see behind me are just taking a look at the plane right now getting their mind of things. if you think about it, 40 bodies were taken off these two planes today and over 1,000 family members. the majority of the family members here did not have their loved ones on that plane. none have been identified yet. so far, only 40 bodies. they are going to be taken to a facility in the netherlands a few hours from here where the process of identification is going to begin. that could take days, weeks, it could take months depending on the condition of the body.
9:13 am
they have asked relatives to help them identify with any marks like tattoos or birth marks or photos so they can identify things like jaw line. they want to make this as speedy as possible so they can deliver these victims back to their families so that they can begin the process of closure. they can have funerals for their loved ones. if the identification process yields a nondutch victim, then those family members will be repr repat tree ated to the countries that they came from. it will take some time and the grieving level is ongoing and to put it in perspective for this country, they haven't declared many national days of mourning. the last one they had was in the '60s. andrea? >> katy, as you've been speaking, we've been seeing these heartbreaking pictures of the hearses, the procession going through the courtside there in the netherlands and people gathered on every
9:14 am
overpass silently paying their respect and, of course, our own keir simmons in ukraine, you saw the killing fields. you walked through and saw how the debris was simply being contaminated. it was described that drunken soldiers had actually walked through the wreckage, the remnants, and you yourself witnessed the fact that the cockpit had been hacksawed. keir? >> reporter: that's right. and there was little respect, frankly, for the victims of this crash. it was a terrible scene anyway at the beginning and it just got worse as these victims were treated so badly, left on the side of the road at times and finally taken away to a rail
9:15 am
carriage of the last century and that's the best to get the bodies away from this region. andrea, the news now that we today have had an attack on a plane here, a ukrainian plane and one shot down and what is extraordinary, 16 kilometers, about ten miles away from the mh-17 crash site. so it appears that it's is sophisticated missile and it could be that they were downed trying to find a target but tough wonder about the fighter jets in the same area as mh-17 went down. >> keir simmons, thank you so
9:16 am
much. that is the question for nina, who is, of course, an expert on russian policy and comes from a prominent russian family. in your study of vladimir putin, what is the psychology of him going out saying that we should now start talking about peace and this was started by the ukrainians in kiev and then two more planes shot down, they must have been shot down by either presumably russian-backed separatists. he has yet to come out publicly and call back the supporters in eastern ukraine the wild fires as i said earlier that he incited. >> he has very little control over there. >> is that credible? >> it is not. i think you understand it very well and people are getting to understand it, the thing about
9:17 am
putin is he says whatever he needs to say. it just doesn't come back what he says. i'm not in control of it. incidentally, it's a foreign country and thereforei'm not in control of it. it contradicts reality and the idea of an independent place and donetsk republic being formed is that he's the one trying to take it away from a foreign country. so credible or not, it don't matter. he creates or all of his people create conspiracy theory. ukrainian forces shot it down. and they should get outraged and turn really, really particularly economic heat on him so maybe that will get the message.
9:18 am
>> of course, the financial times' front page is that the european rift tough action and we'll see tomorrow is their final vote. you were suggesting last night to my colleague rachel maddow some of the crazy conspiracy theories that have been prom gated by the kremlin. >> some of them, cia shot the plane and then the plane was boarded with all of the corpses in amsterdam so russia would get set up. ukrainians were targeted vladimir putin who was flying over that territory and they by mistake shot that. you know, i can go on like that and one and at the same time, when you drown in this propaganda, that russian ares now after -- i don't know how many years, almost two decades of vladimir putin has learned to distress the west so they kind of caught in between of that
9:19 am
conversation on one hand or the other hand and after a while they not start trusting their government but at least start trusting the western formulas. >> nina krushcheva, thank you for your perspective. investigators have been sent to an island because of a plane that was trying to make an emergency landing in taipei city. we'll bring you the very latest on any survivors as we receive it. so get out there, and get the best price guaranteed. find it for less and we'll match it and give you $50 toward your next trip. expedia. find yours. no question about that. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow.

9:22 am
9:23 am
tied to the health care tax law may not have an immediate impact on millions of customers. it has to be adjudicated but it could thrust health care back to the foreground. congressman clyburn is joining me right now. the republicans say this proves that obamacare should be repealed, needs to be repealed. is this going to become a problem for democratic congressmen and candidates running in the midterms? >> well, i don't think so, andrea. thank you so much for having me. it's an issue that is going to be discussed. there's no question about that. these court decisions sort of make things a little current for a while but let us remember that there have been two other court decisions that have been favorable so now we have three favorable decisions, one not so
9:24 am
favorable decision, maybe that one is an outlier but we'll have to wait and see. >> there are 3 or 4 million people that could be without health care if this d.c. court ruling were upheld and eventually it could get to the supreme court. we don't know that yet. there's no chance that congress would fix the writing bill and add state and federal government as it was intended. >> well, maybe not. because i'm sure the senate would. i'm sure the house would not. and so we'll be at a stalemate. but i'm willing to have this discussion going into it and let's see how things turn out on november 4th. the fact of the matter is, people are signing up. people are lacking of what they
9:25 am
are buying and i think it's gaining momentum every day. that's not going to stop the activists who do not like this legislation and not even activist judges. it won't stop them but i don't think it will stop people from signing up, either. >> briefly let me ask you about the appropriations bill and they cut money out of the emergency request. so from 3.7, it's down to 2.7 and they also added a $225 million. they don't think that the president is going to get any more money. where do we stand on this? >> well i think it's not prone to give the president any money
9:26 am
for this issue. i was very disappointed that the senate, you know, approved and incidents at the border and it may be that what the president is doing and it might be in the next few weeks as we have over the last several weeks. >> thank you so much, jim clyburn. thank you, congressman. >> thank you so much for having me. now we have an update on the death of a new york city man who died in custody after he was apparently placed in a chokehold by an nypd officer. funeral services will be held today for eric garner. al sharpton will be among the
9:27 am
speakers. the incident has fueled protests, quickly to a civil rights lawsuit brought by the family. the medical examiners have not yet determined what caused garner's death. responding to the incident at a news conference yesterday, new york city police commissioner bill bratten said all 35,000 police officers will be retrained on the use of force. my motheit's delicious. toffee in the world. so now we've turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. i never really thought i would make money doing what i love. we created legalzoom to help people start their business and launch their dreams. go to legalzoom.com today and make your business dream a reality. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side.

(laughs) hmm. you're that grumpy cat. well i know! how about some honey nut cheerios? humans love them. moms, dads, kids-well, all of 'em. not even a smile? huh... maybe someone should tell your face. ohhh that is your face.

9:30 am
it's a subaru. yeah?om. we got allstate, right? uh-huh. yes! well, i found this new thing... called allstate quickfoto claim. it's an app. you understand that? just take photos of the damage with your phone and upload them to allstate. really? so you get a quicker estimate, quicker payment, quicker back to normal. i just did it. but maybe you can find an app that will help you explain this to your father. introducing quickfoto claim. just another way allstate is changing car insurance for good. well, we think everything is back to normal at the brooklyn bridge today. that is not the fact. mysterious bleached white flags were taken down and replaced with the red, white, and blue. officials say this doesn't
9:31 am
appear to be an act of terrorism and just vandalism, it's raising questions about security on the bridges. so, former new jersey governor tom kaine who is the commission co-chair and joins me now, this is just a day after you released a new report updating us all on what has not been done. what does it say to you that these two white flags, whether it's an act of terror or a joke or some sort of vandalism, it doesn't say much about the security around the bridge. >> no. we've said around new york city that the bridges and tunnels would be such a target that security is very, very important and so got to look into this, got to find out how it happened and why it happened and make sure nothing like this happens again. >> let's talk about the 9/11 report. and in your updating mode with lee hamilton, of course, what did you find and what is the
9:32 am
concern all these years later? >> well, we got together ten years after it just to talk about the concerns and how the threat has changed. it's changed totally and what the president's concerns ought to be. we identified several important ones. we talked to almost every important intelligent leader in the country and they were very frank with us and open with us, past and present. and they said a couple of things. one was, we are not on top of the cyberthreat. that is very serious. one leading official in the government said the day before 9/11, we're just not prepared. government had not gotten their hand around it. we've got to get on top of it right away or we're going to lose technology, jobs, and important defense matters. so that was one very serious one. another thing is, we said in a 9/11 report that it took about
9:33 am
three years or four years to prepare the nan ni9/11 attack ay did it from the sanctuary in afghanistan. bin laden plotted and trained and rebel launched the attack. we said never again should terrorists be allowed to get a sanctuary. and now with what isis has done in iraq, it looks like it's possible that they will begin have a sanctuary to operate from and that's very dangerous for the united states because the same thing could happen in afghanistan if that doesn't go well. so we're very concerned about that and i will mention one more thing. we made 41 recommendations. about 40 of them in one way or another have been implemented. one outstanding one hasn't been. the congress reformed the executive branch. they never reformed themselves. so the department of homeland security, which is a department that protects us, now reports to
9:34 am
over 90 different committees. just imagine if you had 100 bosses or 90 bosses, you couldn't do your job. they spent one-third of their time preparing for testimony and the country is less safe because of it. and everybody knows it and everybody agrees with the recommendation but congress leaders of both parties just haven't done it. and that makes us less safe. so that concerns us. >> governor tom kaine, shocking results and this is something that we all need to follow up. thank you so much. you and, of course, congress lee hamilton. we have breaking news. the faa is expanding the ban for another 24 hours. tom costello is joining me from the newsroom. this is despite the protest from benjamin netanyahu and it's something that israel strongly
9:35 am
rejects to. >> the israel has not been happy with the united states and the faa for putting this initial ban in place at 12:15 for 24 hours and now the faa is telling nbc news that they are extending the ban from flights from the u.s. into tel aviv. this pertains to u.s. flights. yesterday we saw quite a few international carriers out of europe join that decision and they also said they would not be flying into israel for that period of 24 hours. we might see them join the u.s. carriers again in determining that they will not be flying into tel aviv. yesterday we had delta, of course, as well as american and it includes u.s. airways and united, all who have flights into tel aviv announcing that they would, of course, be abiding by the faa decision and now this extends it another 24
9:36 am
hours. i would mention that michael bloomberg took it upon himself, after the f acaa protested thatn and took an el al flight to make the case, in his view, that the ban was unnecessary and inappropriate and in his view it's still safe to fly into tel aviv and he jumped on the carrier. the faa is extending the ban for another 24 hours. no flights from the united states, u.s. carriers into tel aviv for now. david remnick is joining me next. afternoon arrives and feeling good, but her knee pain returns... that's two more pills. the evening's event brings laughter, joy, and more pain... when jamie says... what's that like six pills today? yeah... i can take 2 aleve for all day relief. really, and... and that's it. this is kathleen...

this may even and i visited that base with fidel castro. take a look. >> reporter: the secret spy station that targeted america until this past august. when the russians left, they stopped paying the rent: does this symbolize the biggest change? >> translator: it's a symbol of great change in russia. >> david remnick is an editor at "the new yorker." that says it all. >> was just there. putin is doing something alarming and arm lai aloorming ideologically. this is not just about ukraine. it's all about an emerging,
9:45 am
conservative ideology, in russian terms, not american terms. they believe in a great big state, not a small state. and ukraine is part of this drama which got a lot hotter today, of course. we have to recognize that putin today is not putin in 2000. putin in 2000 and through 2008 was somebody who was consolidating the state, ending chaos in russia as he saw it doing things we didn't like then even. but above all, building an economy and a middle class. now the economy is flat, at best, and to pay for it over, in order to find a source of legitimacy, he has asserted himself as this great russian and in a sense not an imperialist but someone that is swaggering on the stage not just as a world actor. >> we saw him posing with brazil and china saying that they are going to have a new development bank just for them. >> look, some of this is -- he's
9:46 am
also a world leader and they shake hands and you can't always be responsible for who you shake hands with. but -- and i'm not sure that the whole brick drama turned out to be the success that rick wanted it to be maybe a decade ago. but russia and particularly vladimir putin, one actor, a singular actor, this is not the collective leadership. this is him. he's asserting an ideology that has a myriad of ramifications. >> and the propaganda is so pervasive. there's no pushback. we were talking to nina krushcheva earlier. he suggested reopening that old kgb assassination case from a decade ago. let's watch. >> the british government announced a reversal of that decision about looking into the assassination and who did it and
9:47 am
who ordered it. the home secretary in britain announced that in fact there will be a new public inquiry into that killing on british soil, the one in which the murdered anti-kgb whistle blower said that the man who ordered his death was vladimir putin. the world feels like it is turning on a slightly different axis when it comes to russia right now. >> interesting. you don't know, but interesting. well, any number of cases can be reopened, having to do with murder journalists, any number of things. this is just one fragment, one piece in a larger picture of what i hope -- what i hope is not going to become a cold war 2.0. we should remember when the rhetoric comes from john mccain or lindsey graham that this is a new cold war, we should remember what the new cold war was with proxy wars all over the globe that went on for half a century. we hope that this is an ugly
9:48 am
