"weekends with alex witt" starts now. dramatic and real this is the scene as a s.w.a.t. team storms a commercial airplane, the story behind what prompted this response. >> sudden live in gaza. a temporary cease-fire. controversy and fall out new reaction to the punishment given a football player for a fight that left his girlfriend out cold. near miss, that's what scientists are saying about a huge solar flare that nearly caused chaos on planet earth.

good morning, everyone. welcome to "weekends with alex witt." here's what's happening. breaking news in gaza. a 12 hour humanitarian cease-fire between israel and gaza is in effect. it began six hours ago. secretary of state john kerry arrived in paris looking to negotiate a longer seven day cease-fire. residents are moving to safer areas. palestinian health ministry said more than 830 have been killed in the conflict, mostly civilians. israel said it lost 34 soldiers. nbc's martin fletcher is showing me from tel aviv. good morning. this cease-fire is it expected to hold for the next few hours, about six we have left. i'm curious what the scene was like in gaza after it started. >> reporter: that's right. exactly halfway through the 12 hour cease-fire began at 8:00 in

the morning local time, goes on to 8:00 p.m. local time. so far so good, no rockets from gaza, no israeli shelling of targets in gaza, so the cease-fire is holding. of course everyone hopes it will continue holding to the end. the question is what happens afterwards. will the lab miracle. will john kerry sometime in paris be able to organize a continuation of the cease-fire. no one's hopes very high for that at the moment. in gaza there was a flury of excitement and as soon as the cease-fire went into effect and i should point out there was shelling of gaza by the israelis up to the last minute. at 8:00 in the morning people began to stream out of their homes, going shopping, getting food, getting money from the atm machines and the banks and in particular going to their homes to see what was left of them, what damage there was. in many cases there was heavy

israeli bombardment the scene was devas stating. they pulled out 19 bodies from the wreckage. you mentioned 850 dead from the gaza source. that's gone over the 1,000 mark as they pull out bodies from the debris in those areas. it must be shocking -- i mean tel aviv. in gaza it must be horrific as people come out of their homes after bombardment and see the reality and what happened to their homes. >> martin, i'll ask my director if you wouldn't mind putting back up a live shot. it looks like a normal saturday it would be. you got people out on the streets, cars there. of course that's not the case when there is the fighting going on. can you describe how different the scene is? i hope you can see this shot. >> reporter: well, in gaza, for the last three weeks nobody on the streets. it's been completely empty. no one is going to work or

school. everyone is hiding because about more than half of the gaza strip is actually a no go zone, a war zone. it's a startling difference to see these streets today enjoying the cease-fire. people are driving to their homes. the most important thing people are doing and again i got to say i imagine this because i'm not there. most important thing people are doing is checking up on their loved ones. many families have been split. they haven't been able to get from one place to another for weeks. now that there's a cease-fire they are trying to figure out who is alive, who is dead, who is injured. going to the hospitals, the morgue, the cemeteries. this is a chance for them to catch up on their lives. course to stock up on food and water. about half the people in gaza don't have access to clean water. one thing they will be doing is going the wells to get water and food to eat and drink. >> martin fletcher in tel aviv.

for the latest on the u.s. diplomatic efforts in the region, we're joined by chris at the white house. are there any prospects serious ones for a longer truce? >> reporter: i think as martin said, alex, hopes are not high this morning. the administration is realistic about how difficult and complicated it's going to be to get both sides to yes. yesterday israel reject ad plan for a cease-fire. nonetheless secretary kerry continues his diplomatic negotiations in paris. he's also expected to confer with the european diplomats who are in the region. the goal, alex, the short term goal is just to have a week long cease-fire so that they can hash out some of these broader more complicated issues and one of the main sticking points for israel is that they still want to be able to continue their incursion against those hamas tunnels which it says hamas is using to attack israel.

so that is one of the main sticking points. but, again, this is incredibly complicated and these negotiations have been going on for days. when asked yesterday here in the white house briefing room, white house press secretary josh earnest was asked if the best that could come out of peace negotiations was a week long cease-fire and earnest said essentially is what we want is the violence to stop. i highlight that point that what they are negotiating or now is a week long cease-fire. no surprise there. thank you very much. the international space station picture is the saddest. it's a picture of gaza. with some other news. s.w.a.t. teams stormed a crowded canadian plane bound for panama

after a passenger became agitated and made a remark about a bomb. what fold was caught on cell phone video and showed how intense aviation security has become. tom costello has more. >> reporter: it was a heart pounding few moments for 183 passengers and six crew members on board a canadian plane headed to panama. sudden lui they were back on the ground in toronto a heavily armed s.w.a.t. team coming down the aisle. for passengers including children who were headed to a sunny vacation terrifying. >> they stormed in. it was extremely scary. they came in front and back of the plane and they yelled hands up, heads down. and it was just awful. kids were scared. i was scared. >> all i saw was guns. it was quite scary. >> reporter: flight 772 left toronto at 7:00 a.m. headed south for panama.

once over u.s. airspace a 25-year-old canadian man allegedly began using foul language to flight attendants complaining about canadian taxes and threatening to blow up the pilots. within minutes the pilot turned around as they communicated with homeland security and canadian authorities. the flight path shows the 737 making a u turn as it was over west virginia then cutting north along the ohio/pennsylvania border where two u.s. f-16 fighter jets intercepted and escorted the plane back to canada. then traffic control warned other carriers of a delay. >> there's an emergency going on and fighter jets are overheard. there's some confusion in talking to the military. >> reporter: once on the ground the s.w.a.t. team commander decided to move fast. >> you have to make a decision. do we move easy, swiftly or hard? in this case he decided to move swiftly to assure the safety of all on board. >> that was tom costello

there are some prominent members of the republican party who have articulated their support for articles of impeachment. that's the view they articulated. what we're focused on is the

business of the american people. the president has been very clear what his priorities are. >> white house spokesman josh earnest about the push to impeach the president. that all comes on the heels of another senior adviser saying the president is taking talks of impachment very seriously. the move can more likely if the president takes more executive action this year on immigration. americans have no appetite for it nor for the suing of the president. nearly two-thirds are against it. joining me now washington bureau chief for the "chicago sun-times" lynn sweet and ed o'keefe. hi guys. lynn, you were at that meeting yesterday where the presidential senior adviser talked impeachment saying this is a real concern at the white house. really? what's behind this sudden concern? >> i tend to take boehner analysis as worthy, alex. it's a good way to rally the democratic base. it's a great fundraising device.

please, let's be serious. all of a sudden sarah palin is being taken seriously by the white house? >> well, there you go. yeah. okay. >> ed, let's take a look. there's this new pew poll that shows republican have the advantage when it comes to enthusiasm for voting. it's generating excitement and fundraising. could impeachment talk be a strategic move to scare the democrats to the voting booth in november. >> that's absolutely what this is. you know, my colleagues did a great job this week nailing it down but especially among black voters this is a potential rallying cry. that they will understand that they need to turn out and make sure democrats get re-elected or put into position to blunt the impact of republicans and make it less attractive for them or potentially just hamper their ability to move forward will peachment in the next two years. the polling is there. the reporting has been done.

the white house sees that. friday they go out and say we're very concerned about this. no they are not. they know democrats need to turn out. minority voters, women voters, younger voters don't turn out as often in mid-term elections. they see this as an opportunity to build up support not only to allow republicans to raise money but democrats and potentially drive up the margins. >> that could be a gop controlled senate. >> if they could build up enough political will in a republican controlled house maybe. those prominent republicans that the white house talks about, i've talked to them and they say our concern should be getting 60 votes in the senate. if they to get 60 votes in the senate and in the house where they want to start this up then maybe there's enough political will to do it. everyone will look at the polls. if everybody shows people don't support moving forward with

impeachment there's enough republicans to say let's not do this because the 2016 cycle is even worse for republicans when it comes to congressional control. more republicans than democrats on the ballot that sit in the senate right now and they know those seats could be at risk two years later if they spent those two years worrying about impeachment. >> when you look at poll numbers it doesn't have much effect on the right-wing the tea party. they will talk impeachment anyway. >> they will talk impeachment anyway. these are voters who would never be for president obama or a democrat. but what the republicans have to be concerned about here, they don't want to alienate the independents, the moderates, the potential swing voters. so if they go down this impeachment path they do so at their peril. >> let's go to senator rand paul's effort to attract a broader coalition. here's what he said in cincinnati. >> the poverty problem is not

new and it's not going away easily. black unemployment still twice white unemployment. i don't accuse the president of not caring. i think he does care. but that's what we have to talk about policies not just about caring. i think there are people in both parties who care but frankly we need to come up with a policy that does better. >> lynn, in terms of people's interpretation of that is his concern mostly genuine or mostly politic? >> this one when you even look at his body language it doesn't seem to be what it would take to be persuasive to really gain big african-american base of support. it's good he's talking to different audiences, but he has to come up with some more of a reckoning of his record an civil rights laws as well as some proposals that somebody would see as realistic. >> well, alex, he does have several. he's co-sponsoring some changes to federal sentencing laws with

guys like pat leahy, the democrat of vermont. the problem is he works for the u.s. senate which doesn't get anything done these days. there are substantive proposals to change drug sentencing laws, to work on mandatory minimums, to work on the voting reits act. you talk to democrats they are impressed by the fact he's willing to do this and say behind closed doors yes he's working on this and trying to do this. is this a political move going to inner-city charter schools and telling black parents we want to expand these opportunities to other urban neighborhoods? a little bit yeah. having talked to him about it he does have a little bit of genuine interest and smartly says look republicans have to come to these forums, have to be talking about these issues if they expect to some day to be appealing to blacks, hispanics and others who feel republicans don't care about them. >> okay. good to see you guys as always. thank you. trouble in paradise for

sides failed to reach a comprehensive cease-fire agreement. instead they both agreed a 12 hour truce and that was welcomed news for people here in gaza. that gave them for the first time in several days a chance to go out of their homes. the attacks continued until the final hours, then a 12 hour cease-fire came into effect. so today's short term truce was a moment of reprieve for a people devastated by weeks of war. a chance for them to return to their homes and assess the damage in neighborhoods. since the cease-fire began residents have been recovering bodies to try to bury them. people are trying to keep up with the number of bodies that need to be buried. in southern gaza at least 18 people from one family were killed in an israeli shell attack on their home. with them huddling for safety inside neighbors say. entire families wiped out. israel's attack on gaza are

aimed at stopping palestinian rocket fire which the israeli military says still continue despite israel's overwhelming use of military force. people got a chance to go out some for the first time in weeks. stocking up on food and supplies not sure if they will have another chance if the war starts again. images of gaza's destruction and dead palestinians are now fueling public outrage in the occupied west bank of jerusalem. eight palestinians were killed during overnight demonstrations raising fears the violence could spread there. after days of intense diplomatic efforts both sides failed to reach a comprehensive cease-fire agreement. instead they both agreed to a 12 hour truce and that was welcomed news for the people here in gaza. that gave them for the first time in several days a chance to go out of their homes. secretary kerry is in paris

attempting to drum up support from turkey and qatar for a new peace deal to end this violence. chris hayes spoke to the chief negotiator for palestinian. >> at the end of the day we have a political problem. this political problem can't be solved by the f-15s and missiles. it needs a political solution. the political solution you don't need to reinvent the wheel. it's two states a state of palestine living side-by-side with the state of israel. >> joining me foreign editor for the daily beast and long time correspondent. i presume you heard that southern bite. what do you think of his assessment. he said at the end it will be a two state solution. >> well, that's not certain any more. i think even secretary kerry was saying a year ago maybe there was only a year left in which

there could be a two state solution. that's just about over. if this goes on like this israel will continue occupying a large part of the west bank, it will continue to essentially imprison all the people in gaza and just going to try to tough it out until everybody is so exhausted or just forget, i don't know what they aspect to do but ultimately they will be in a position where they will have to start absorbing a huge palestinian population and that's something that will jeopardize the existence of the jewish state. it's a terrible situation. one thing that he said is true. if they don't find a political solution and find it fast, you're going to have a situation that will essentially be incapable of a solution. >> do you get the sense, christopher, that israel is looking for a peace deal at this point or right now in this moment do they want to finish their military operation an then go to the negotiating table?

>> look, they want to stop the rockets, that's clear. i think probably a lot of people in gaza, a lot of palestinians would like to stop the rockets too and stop this incursion. the fact is they haven't succeeded in doing it. they keep pushing, they keep pushing. they would like to wipe out hamas. they won't succeed in doing that either no more than they succeeded in 2008. what they will do is kill hundreds and now more than 1,000 palestinians and an awful lot of those are going to be children because more than half the population of gaza is children. median age in gaza is 17. half the population is under 17. you don't go into gaza without killing a hell of a lot of children. and they will do that. that will cost israel politically across the world. >> it already has. people are questioning the

tactics. how about with regard to negotiations. are the plo and hamas the right people to negotiate with. do they have the power to speak for hamas? >> well, you know hamas is part of the same government with the plo. and with fatah. theoretically they can speak with one voice. hamas can't be even absolutely assured it's speaking for its military wing. the brigades, the military wing of hamas they are the ones carrying out most of these rocket attacks. they are determined to move forward with this kind of offensive. they want israel to intervene. they want to see peace destroyed. and they are making their point. that's exactly what's happening. >> with regard to the demands from each side, christopher israel wants to demilitaryize gaza, hamas wants israel to lift its blockade. are those demands for which

either is willing to budge? >> well, you know in this kind of a situation it's almost impossible to conceive of a time when in the middle of fighting israel would say, yes, we have overwhelming force. no we're not achieving all our ends but we're going to lift this blockade that's been in effect for seven years because we're going to give that victory to hamas. no, they are not going to do that. to the extent negotiations are predicated on that that's not going to happen. if there is a cease-fire a month or two months or six months from now you could lift the blockade without it lookinging like a big victory for hamas but netanyahu will not give that victory to hamas under any circumstances. so you'll see this fighting go on for really for quite a while. >> do you have concerns that the fighting could grow into a third

fatah? >> oh, i think we definitely are headed in that direction. we already saw on the west bank, we saw 10,000 people moving on israeli checkpoints. i think it could start with something like passive resistance, something like peaceful protests but will degenerate very quickly, it always does in the palestinian territories. not the least because of the israeli responses. and when that happens, yes, i think we'll see a third fatah. whether this palestinian government wants it or not. people are fed up. they don't see any prospect of peace. they don't see that the two state solution is going to happen. everybody has been very close to the two state solution for a long time, for more than a decade, but it just doesn't happen. so what do the palestinians think they can do? the only thing they think they can do is return to violence because nothing else is working

for them. >> thank you very much for the conversation. also appreciated my friend. thank you. and here in this country thousands gathered in times square last night to rally against the conflict in gaza. the pro palestinian demonstrators demanded an end to the israel military action but also u.s. aid to israel. let's go now to ukraine and the fallout from the malaysian flight tragedy. more airline passengers are wondering how safe are the skies and how do you know if a plane is even flying over a war zone. joining me now anthony roman, a ceo and founder of rowan and associates. let's talk about this last week. a tough week. that certainly is an understatement. these three major air incidents happening. malaysian air crash tragedy, crash of the transasia flight in

taiwan, the algiere flight. how safe is it to fly and how can you find out if your flight has a path over hostile territory. >> i want to reassure the flying public that it's incredibly safe to fly despite this recent rash of problems in the air and these terrible, terrible, regrettable accidents. flying still remains statistically the safest mode of travel. it is safer than walking to school or to work. so i think that we have to consider that what we've seen is a rash and a pulse and for some unknown reason statistically these accidents tend to happen in clusters. true the taiwanese accident and

algiere accident resulted in because of terrible weather. the missile down cigarette an anomaly but an ato maly that's nine history. there's been approximately 18 missile downings of aircraft, civil aircraft since 1970. so that is something we have to address. >> right. which is 18 too many for anybody flying a commercial flight. there's no way to really know your exact route, right? because it can change. can people inquire? is there anyway to do that and find out the flight path? >> well the fact of the matter is that you probably can through the internet determine the general flight path you're going to follow. however, here's how the system works. the corporate flight department of a particular airline has a dispatch department which files the routing that's requested. that goes into an faa computer. the faa computer pumps out the routing for the aircraft.

that's read to the pilot while they are in the cockpit and the passengers are secured just prior to takeoff. but then there are various factors that can affect it. weather is one of those factors. they can reroute hundreds of miles in either direction around bad weather. and in continents such as africa or eastern europe that can put you into war zones, rebel activity or sensitive airspace militarily. >> you know what was interesting in the wake of the downing of the malaysian flight malaysian officials said look this area was deemed safe and pointed to the fact that 54, 55 flights had flown in that region the previous day. do you think airlines have to change their route guidelines after what happened with malaysian fight 17? >> i take exception with malaysian airline statement. the international civil aviation

organization warned in april that flights should exercise extreme caution over the ukrainian airspace not just limited to crimea but the ukrainian airspace. the fact of the matter is the faa did the same thing in may, and the european aviation authority also in april warned its member aircraft around flights in and about the crimea area. we know that this was an unstable region. and that the pro russian forces and ukrainians have surface to air missiles capable of downing aircraft. >> as they had that week. >> yeah. we think they should have been rerouted. >> okay. anthony roman, good to see you. whatever happened in this video you're about to see between an nfl star and his wife then fiancee got him suspended for two games. up next the nfl response to critics who say he got off too easy.

video was shock. footage obtained by tmz showing baltimore ravens ray rice dragging his unconscious fiancee out of atlantic city elevator. some commentators were shocked and outraged when the nfl announced on thursday that the punishment was a two game suspension along with a half a million dollar fine. anita marks is joining me now. nfl domestic violence. does it take the concept seriously, do you think? >> obviously two game suspension after this, you would think not. but i think it's important we kind of share with the public exactly why i feel that roger goodell only went with two games. i know ray rice extremely well. i covered him with the baltimore ravens. when this happened i was shocked, totally out of character for him. never been in trouble before with the law.

that's number one. number two, we really don't -- there's only a select view who have seen the video of what took place inside that elevate error. reports are his now wife had spit in his face and slapped him. so in a way provoking what happened. so maybe the nfl thinks well ray rice is a victim here. doesn't make it right but i'm just -- >> there was some sort of alteration between the two. >> after the incident she's been by his side. >> she got married. >> they got married earlier than schedule and on top of that reports are when ray rice met with roger goodell she pleaded with roger goodell don't make it a difficult sentence for my husband. i'm to blame as well. she championed to say don't make it a lengthy suspension. least but not least ray rice has a foundation to stop anti-bullying and a number of the young kids who could have

lost their lives submitted letters and they submitted those in letters to roger goodell to say please ray rice has helped me save my life. so there's a lot of reasons why goodell went two games. >> he gave it a lot of thought and a lot of support foray rice. if you look at this, this is an nfl player and even if provoked by a woman spitting or slapping him, to say that he is a victim as well in some people's minds a lot of people are saying are you kidding me? >> absolutely. this is a player who can bench 300 pounds and he laid not only a hand but a pinky on a girl who is only 100 pounds. at the end of the day it's wrong. he should never have even touched her. where i stand on this, i feel the nfl failed us as a society. as shocked as i am and as much as i can sit here and tell you what a good guy ray rice is at the end of the day nfl should have given him six games.

reduced down to four probably. the nfl would have made a statement because domestic violence, alex, is bigger than the ravens, bigger than ray rice and the nfl failed. >> let me read the statement that we did get from the nfl because you spoke to them yesterday. despite the court's decision not to impose criminal punishment the commissioner determined the conduct was incompatible with nfl policies. the nfl had the same access to the evidence as prosecutors. the court didn't impose any punishment. the nfl did impose punishment. half million dollar fine there. do they have a point there's an issue here that from a legal standpoint he's not being prosecuted by the law outside of the nfl? >> it is a great point. i've been covering the nfl for 20 years. athletes sometimes are beyond the law. i always say they live in a

different universe. they live by a different set of rules that a number of people live by because they are professional athletes. also again, she's been by his side since this incident began and they moved up the wedding date for -- >> maybe to show support? >> show support. i believe that there's a law, we saw this with the aaron hernandez case that she could not testify against him. your wife cannot -- >> right. that's going to show the flip side. >> there's a lot of issues. >> definitely. that's an understatement. thank you forgoing through them with us. i appreciate it very much. >> so-called poor doors in new york city is drawing outrage. how is this separation allowed? whoa-oh-oh-oh, all this goodness... what matters most should always come first.

economic policy editor has written about these poor door towers. he joins me here in studio. let's talk about this. how can developers get away with doing this, having a luxury building, putting aside some apartments or condos for, i guess, you know, the not rich and putting separate doors? >> well there's nothing that makes it illegal right now and the building developer of this particular building on the upper west side has been drawing this attention says that they actually feel they are legally required. they are saying that the units for the low-income tenants are in a separate section that will face the street and have its own door and that the high end apartments that all face the river with a lovely view are separate enough that they have to have a separate entrance. >> so they are saying it's legal. the name of the company -- >> excel development. >> they are saying it's legal. have they gone beyond that to talk about anything else, their interpretation of it, moral

interpretation. >> no that's all they are saying. a lot of these luxury developments there's another trend not just poor doors but keeping low-income tenants from using these amenity, pools, roof tops. they haven't allowed them to use those. they outright say look we built these gyms, these pools to attract rich people. it's not for the low-income people. >> if i live in a low-income apartment and i walk through a high income door how do i do that. >> it's about keys. you can't use the gym. a lot of low-income tenants say we'll pay subscription for the gym. >> do you get a sense this is a victim of the vanishing middle class. >> absolutely. rents are as anyone who lives in manhattan knows going up and up, particularly in new york city. the average manhattan apartment is going for more than $3,000.

and rents here are 40% of median income. that's way more than what people think is what is actually affordable. incomes aren't rising to meet that. >> thank you for joining us. that's a wrap everyone on this hour of show. join me for a two hour edition. next "up with steve kornacki" from d.c. if i can impart one lesson to a
