8:00 am
clinic center at the schiff fa hospital, the largest medical complex in the gaza strip. it happened at 5:00 p.m. local time. at the same time north of where we were, there was another israeli air strike. the victims from both of these air strikes were coming into the hospital at the same time. those are the images you're seeing. right now it is very difficult to get an accurate death toll from palestinian medical officials who are dealing with the influx of patients. but nbc news had a crew at the hospital. they filmed at least 30 separate bodies, 30 separate casualties that were brought into the hospital. the vast majority of those, according to our nbc crew on the ground were children. again, we have to emphasize. these are casualties. some of them were fatalities, some were injured. we don't have an accurate break down how many were killed and how many are injured. that's what we confirmed on the ground just by being at the hospital. two separate strikes within the last hour and 15 minutes that
8:01 am
are leading to the sudden spike in casualties at the hospital. we have yet to get the official conformation from palestinian health officials. local media, local palestinian media belonging to the hamas children are reporting at least 10 children killed as a result of the air strike on the refugee camp north of where we are. >> for clarification, the two strikes, were they near the hospital. give us modescriptions on wheret took place. especially the images of children being among the casualties you've referred to. >> sure. the first strike that happened at 5:00 p.m. local time hit the outpatient facility at the medical complex. the medical complex has several buildings. it's part of the medical complex center. the first strike that happened at 5:00 p.m. targeted the yard at the outpatient clinic facility. that was confirmed by nbc news
8:02 am
team on the ground. and according to local eye witnesses. the second incident it happened at the refugee camp north of gaza city. very far away from the medical complex. the two strikes happening nearly simultaneously at the same time during the time of the day. roughly between 4:45 and 5:00 p.m. local time. but yes, we were able to film the strike that happen at the medical complex. the main hospital building where the emergency room is, where a lot of other critical facilities are, that was not struck as a result of the air strike. but the outpatient clinic, which treats hundreds of patients on a daily basis and had a lot of people was the target. >> do we know if rockets fired from hamas were coming from the areas where the strikes took place? also, over the weekend, as you know, back and forth over whether there would be a cease-fire or not. even leading up to just before these strikes.
8:03 am
>> tamron, we were here in the office at the time of the strike. we heard the explosion. i took a picture. our crews captured it from above. we have a very good overlook into the city skyline of gaza. we didn't hear or see any palestinian rockets coming out the hospital at the time of the strike. in the minutes leading up to the air strike, we didn't see or hear any outgoing palestinian rocket fire from gaza city into israel. at the same time, it's hard to have see anything coming out the refugee camp where a number of casualties are being reported. from our vantage point, we didn't see or hear any outgoing palestinian rocket before the israeli air strikes that happened. >> ayman mohyeldin for us. thank you. managing editor of the digital publication qz.com.
8:04 am
in the past few years, the u.n. secretary general calling for an immediate lasting cease-fire or truce. let me play what he said. >> it is time for immediate, unconditional humanitarian cease-fire. in the name of humanity, the violence must stop. >> over the weekend, it was almost difficult to keep up with the back and forth of whether there was a cease-fire or not. here we have the latest strike -- two strikes. >> president obama called netanyahu, prime minister of israel and framed it slightly. he called for a complete and unconditional cease-fire. he framed it as something a strategic interest. but clearly it's not happening. for whatever cease-fire existed, it's blamed from the explosions. that's all over and carnage returned to the street of gaza. gaza, on the day off on the special occasion for muslims around the world.
8:05 am
the end of the 40 ramadan fast. >> let me play what netanyahu said blaming hamas. that israel has a right to defend itself. let's play it. >> we have accepted five cease-fires and acted upon them. hamas rejected ere one. violated them, including two humanitarian cease-fires which we accepted and implemented in the last 24-hours. now hamas is suggesting the cease-fire. they have even violated their own cease-fire. they continue to fire at us, of course, we'll take the necessary action to protect ourselves. >> first of all, hamas is responsible for the deaths of civilians. we're not targeting a single civilian. we're telling the civilians to leave. hamas is telling them to stay. why is it teaming them to stay? they want to pile up their own
8:06 am
dead bodies. they want to sacrifice their own people. >> before i get you to respond, the leader of hamas sat down with charlie rose on sunday. here was their reaction. >> translator: we are not fanatics. we are not fundamentalists. we are not fighting the jews because they are jews. per se, we don't fight any other races. we fight the occupiers. on the contrary we respect the religious people. >> what we're hearing from both sides is essentially the same we've heard for weeks and days. what will be the breaking point here? >> we've have for years. and every previous occasion when there's violence between the two. in the end it comes down to this, both sides is making a demand that it knows the other side cannot and will not fulfill. hamas said israel has to lift the blockade. there's no way. israel wants hamas to be completely finish.
8:07 am
you can't completely finish the people off gaza. the people who made tunnels are not using sophisticated equipment. they'll make another tunnel. the commands of the side are making are impossible. the question is whether anybody can mediate this. in the past, the u.s. has been able to exercise some leverage and egypt has been able to exercise some leverage. this time it seems despite john kerry's best efforts the u.s. doesn't seem to be able to make it happen. and egypt seems to be out of the picture. >> to your point about secretary kerry, even gaza truce is hard to win. kerry is finding it. trying to al advantage plan b. temporary cease-fires he hopes plight open the door to israel and palestinian negotiations if are long-term solution. on sunday, mr. kerry was having difficulty accomplishing even that. despite what you refer to as a phone call from president obama to netanyahu. >> the pressure is enormous. the fact is there's popular support. there's a poll this morning
8:08 am
showing 80%, a number that israelis are supporting the operation and they want the operation to continue until hamas is completely eliminated. on the other hand, in gaza, the majority want hamas to keep holding the line. keep fighting against israel. it's impossible to see at this stage what any international organization whether it's moon and the united nations and the united states and president obama. what they can do. poor john kerry is getting smack down from both sides. both the israelis and palestinians have had harsh words to say. this for a guy who is trying his best. >> thank you. the violence continues there at this latest two air strikes. we'll get more information as it comes in on the casualties there. and turning to developing story out of philadelphia. a possible break in a deadly car-jacking that left three young children dead and their mother fighting for her life. the police commissioner said he's confident two persons of interest are the people
8:09 am
responsible for the unimaginable incident. the children and their mother were selling fruit to raise money for a church playground when they were plowed down in broad daylight. sparking outrage in the city of philadelphia. nbc kristin joining me live from philadelphia. i understand the city is offering a or was offering a $100,000 reward. there's another $10,000 reward set to expire at noon eastern time if information did not come in. but it sounds like there's been a break in the case? >> yeah. there has, tamron. there are no charges as of now. but the police commissioner said this morning that the manhunt is over. there are two persons of interest in custody, and an attorney for the 19-year-old told our local nbc reporter at police headquarters that his compliant turned himself in because he couldn't get the image out of his mind of that 15-year-old girl hitting the windshield of that car. now the 20 something man also in
8:10 am
custody was picked up by u.s. marshalls not far from the area last night. this is where keysha williams and her family were selling fruit. as you side, on friday, trying to raise money for the church when an suv that had just been carjacked barrelled into the family. 7-year-old terrence, 10-year-old thomas. the mother remains in critical condition. people have been coming to the memorial over the past few days. here's what they had to say about the family. >> love the children. her children was her life. >> children, they were like her pride and joy. whenever she went, the kids were where there with her. when you see a little boy 7 or 8. i can't even begin to describe what i saw. >> reporter: we saw tears of relief out here at the memorial as people are getting the news
8:11 am
that perhaps there's been a break in this case. they continue to come out and put teddy bears down. just when you think the story can't get any sadder. we learned that williams has two other children that weren't here on friday. one has special needs. they certainly need their mother. there's been no update on her condition. she remains in critical condition. >> we see the memorial behind you that started just in the hours after this. the outrage from the people in philadelphia, from the police on down to folks in the community just unimaginable. and as you pointed out, one of the suspects in custody turned himself in. he said he couldn't -- his attorney says he couldn't live with the image of that child, a 15-year-old, when she was hit? >> reporter: yeah. and, you know, all weekend we heard from people, please, turn yourself in. how can you live with this? how can you have left those
8:12 am
children, those babies laying here on this lot and run away and ultimately it looks like, according to the attorney, at least one of the men did have feelings of remorse. he turned himself in last night to the police. he was accompanied by his mother and his pastor, tamron. >> thank you so much. live for us in philadelphia. the big break in that case. we're following developing news another round of severe weather expected to hit much of the country today. on venice beach in california, lightning strikes left one person dead and 14 others injured. it is the 16th death caused by lightning this year. amid the chaos, many beach goers scrambled to help pull a swimmer to safety after he was shocked by a bolt of lightning. >> next thing you know, i was struggling to get my head back above the water. thank god they were braff enough to jump in and not hesitate. >> witnesses say the weather was unlike anything they have experienced there. >> the loudest clap of thunder

i've ever naerd my life. it was so close. i thought it was a bomb almost. >> all a sudden it was at loudest thunder i ever heard. it was like a scene all the jaurs. mothers were going in to grab their kids. storms battered the east and southeast. tornados hit tennessee. the same system is making the way into the deep south with more damage expected. joining me now wnbc meteorologist. the situation in california the first lightning strike in five years. you heard the people there describe say it's like nothing they had seen. >> that's right. the what is unusual is the timing of july. it's the dry season. they don't see the storminess from november to march. it's the winter wet season they have it. we're seeing the same thing across the california coast. we have the thunderstorms sitting offshore. hopefully folks are avoiding the beaches today. a lot of lightning with the cluster storms offshore places

8:20 am
getting better. we travelled with the investigators and monitors as they try toed to get to the crash site today in a long convoy. we weren't able to get there. as they made their way on that road, they came across fighting and they had to pull across to the side of the road and in an intense standoff they had tried to negotiate. they were right on the front line, tamron. we were looking across and seeing the pro-russian separatists dug in up against the ukrainian military. so they were right there. we could hear a tank fire. we could mortar fire in the distance. they managed -- they thought, to negotiate a temporary cease-fire. then made progress forward, but as they did the fighting broke out again. and they say they simply had to turn around and come back again. we also left the area, as you can imagine, it is incredibly
8:21 am
dangerous with the munitions dropping and tank fire the other various forms of weaponry being used in an intense fight like this that. what is happening is between the city don yesk there's a front line developing where the ukrainian military and the pro-russian separatists are standing up against each other. it's an important position for both sides. it means that it's even more difficult for the investigators to get to the crash site to do a thorough and proper investigation. to clear away the wreckage and look at it more closely in a sterile place. in a place away from here and gather people's possessions or. it's a difficult situation here. >> thank you very much, keir. i want to update our audience on the breaking news we reported a the top of the hour. a strike near a hospital in gaza

doing inappropriate things gasping, walking out the courtroom, making loud comments on your way out. you're not allowed to do that. if you continue to do that, you won't be allowed in the courtroom. >> today's first witness was a coworker and friend of mcbride who testified that sounded drunk but not upset when he talked to her three hours before she crashed her vehicle. mcbride was shot after showing up on theodore's doorstep several hours after the crash. he claims he shot her in defense and faces second-degree murder and manslaughter charges. joining me now civil and criminal trial attorney. thank you for joining us, eric. let's talk about the friend that testified sending text messages and phone conversations between the two that were shown. he said she sounded so drunk on the phone. he was worried that someone slipped into the drink. >> the relevance? it may be relevant to show she

may not be aggressive or assertive. he said she was banging on the door in the threatening away. if her faculties were closed down and the speech was slow down. she may not be the aggressive person he was saying. >> a lot of the people early on it was revealed her blood alcohol level, and there were some, honestly, who said it's victim shaming. you're trying to make her appear to be a bad person because she had been drinking. you might describe her demeanor as opposed to casting a disparaging view of her. >> right. most people think of being drunk as belligerence rant and loud. the prosecution is putting up witnesses saying i talked to her. it was slurred speech but she wasn't combative. that changes the viewpoint of the people who are viewing this case. >> now theodore's neighbor today talked about what happened before the gunshot. let me play a little bit of
8:29 am
that. did you have an occasion prior to the gunshot to look out the window. >> before this just look out the window i heard some noise. i didn't see nothing. i went around my house and checked. >> he said he was in the home office at the time of the shooting which was in the rear of the shooting. he heard a noise before the gunshot. we don't know what the noise was. >> right. >> from his discrepanciescripti >> he said 15 minutes later he heard the gunshot. which is major in the shot. because theodore was saying he heard the banging right before the gunshot which is not -- it does not match up with what the neighbor said. with the defense having the neighbor to testify, it is very bad for the defense because this man was awake at 4:00 a.m. which can dispel anything that went fore said about loud banging. >> do you think that wafer will
8:30 am
testify? >> i believe he has to. he claimed self-defense. he has to put the story out there and say he was afraid. with the self-defense case, you have to prove so you to show you were afraid for your life. you had no choice. >> he has to explain why he opened the door. which is a part of, i think, the questions better coming from people if you were afraid why would you open the door? why wouldn't you stay behind it and call 9-1-1? >> he has a lot to explain. first he said the gun he thought was not loaded. >> right. >> why would grow to the door, open the door with an unloaded gun if you were afraid. there are different things he stated throughout the statement he has to explain. he's going to have trouble doing that. >> you have to wonder if his attorneys will let him get on the stand and answer some of the questions. which could be damning. >> it could be. >> thank you very much. the new incoming house gop refusings to rule out impeaching president obama. what are other republicans saying? we're live on capitol hill.

congress is just four days away from a five and a half week recess. there's a lot of, as you know, unfortunated business and the urgent do list includes president obama's request for emergency funds for the border crisis and highway and infrastructure. the new gop tea party louisiana congressman will not rule out impeaching the president over his use of executive orders. >> will you do something such as cut off funding for the administration? will you consider impeaching the president? >> you know, it might be the first white house in history that is trying to start the
8:35 am
narrative of impeaching their own president. we want to see the president following the laws. the president took an oath to faithfully execute the laws of the land. >> impeachment is off the table? >> if the white house wants to talk about impeachment. they're trying to fundraise off that, too. >> i'm asking you, sir. >> look, the white house will do anything they can to change the topic away from the president's failed agenda. >> nbc news capitol correspondent kelly o'donnell joining us. the five week recess just around the corner here. and the to do list is not getting to done. i tried. >> that's good. i like it. i might steal that from you. there is a lot to do in a little amount of time. when you talk about that recess, it's important to remember we are 100 days away from the midterm elections. any talk of something as potent as impeachment riles up both parties for different reasons. it's very effective in getting the donors and members of both
8:36 am
parties animated. we're seeing that. on the gop side is not saying they're going to do something like impeachment, but some very conservative voices in radio and people like sarah palin have been much more aggressive saying it should be done. instead gop leadership is taking the steps to begin the process of a suit against the president for what would be some narrow claims about overreaching on his executive authority. that's still just moving along. and that would be one way to maybe take the edge off those calling for impeachment. obviously democrats are outraged by that. there is fundraising that is going on trying to say, hey, if you believe this is something that is just too outrageous. come on and help and help those democratic candidates in the fall when obviously so many is at stake. the house, of course, in gop hands. the senate in democratic hands. will that change? so impeachment is a very interesting backdrop for getting

while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death.
8:42 am
patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. and our luggage was immediately... taken to... stolen from... our room. the hotel manager was clearly behind it. he was such a... kind man. con man. my husband wanted to... hug him. strangle him. and to this day we're still in contact with... the manager. the police. i wish we could do that vacation all over again. don't just visit paris. visit tripadvisor paris.

newly released add you tapes reveal a heated exchange between a delta airlines pilot and air traffic controllerer. it happened friday at atlanta's airport after the air traffic controller suggested the pilot was on the wrong taxi way. take a listen. >> you know what? we'll taxi out there. if you tell us to. i don't like your attitude. >> good morning. there was no attitude. i was trying to correct you. that's my job. next time you can try doing that. >> settle down captain. >> the person who said captain happy was another pilot who overheard the chatter. delta is investigating it but it's crazy. >> a nebraska mom is sharing her story in the hopes of changing what the education department calls a troubling problem nationwide. her 3-year-old son was suspended for preschool five times this year. her 4-year-old son suspended
8:45 am
three times as women. she said at first she blamed herself but after speaking to several moms who were not african-american, moms she spoke to she said were white, and classmates she discovered the children were not suspended for similar behavior or worse. she joins me live now thank you for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> you actually went online to tell your story to share the experience. let's first talk about your boys. jj, the school claims twice threw a chair and spit on a student. jonah hit a staff member and deemed a danger to the staff. did the incidents happen? >> yes, they did. they are, in fact, true. it's mind boggling, because with jj, that was the first time. so jj was the first one to get
8:46 am
suspended. he was 4 at the time. when they first called us, we were in shock because up until that point he never had any trouble. he never done anything. not even at home or anywhere else. but before that, he was being bullied. when we went to the school the first time, they said that he wasn't the only one being bullied. they didn't do anything. they said the other kid was doing stuff at home as well. when i started to see that jj started modelling other kids's behavior. when they told us he threw a chair i'm thinking he threw a chair? what is going on? but it wasn't -- we didn't get a chance to talk about it. they told us he threw a chair. they called us to pick him up. that was it. >> you believe that some of the behavior with both jj was behavior they were copying and not something takes place in your home. >> yes. i think joah was a fresh
8:47 am
3-year-old. he turned three around the time. i think that the hitting on the arm and things like that, i think those were things that were typically for his age. for jj very much so. i think that kids that the age are trying to see what can they get away with in a classroom setting they're looking at what do other kids get away with? i was in his class when he was hit by another kid. i've been in the classroom when kids have thrown temper tantrums throwing stuff. and just all over the place. for jj i did see a lot of mimicking over behaviors. i won't say the same for the other. >> the boys exhibited the behavior that the school said took place. what lead you to the conclusion that their punishment was because the color of their skin? >> well, you know, and i guess i want to clear that up. that was very difficult for me. initially i blamed myself. i looked on the inside. i wanted to make that very
8:48 am
clear. i didn't allmatically they're being discriminated against. when i went to the birthday party. even the parents were shocked. they said jj. i said yes? i said they suspend kids? i said. explained what he had done and what he had been suspended before. they talked about their kids biting another student. obviously hitting the other kid and going to the hospital, as i mentioned and things like that. i was like what is going on? that was the first time i thought why is it not, you know, not consistent. >> when you took the concern to the school, what did they say to you? >> the typical things. we can't talk about other students. that was the main thing they told me. they were not able to talk about other students. then i said i kept my -- had so many sit downs.
8:49 am
it's something you don't see anything from an online story. i said are you telling me that jj is the worst student in the class. is he getting in a lot of trouble? oh, no. we have worst students. can you tell me the number of suspensions you've had in 2014. they were never abilile to give a number or any type of information. then i said, what is your ses pension policy? you should have something guiding you and the director said a suspension policy? who said we had one? and i said well, the person that you report to told me that. and i never got a suspension policy. >> because you talk with other parents who say were in the same school. did they support you? have you had support from the parents who say, listen, all kids should be treated fairly at our school. >> of course not. i think they're silent supporters. even some of the teachers. at the end of the day the people who make the decision is
8:50 am
administration. the teachers have come to me and said i agree with everything you've said but they've been silent supporters. rightfully joa should have bee home for hitting her on the arm because he did not like to swipe down, but whoever saw it reported it. he was sent home. in the parent/teacher conference she never spoke up. >> what you want to do is not just make this about jj and joa. you've encouraged other parents to join parent boards, attend school meetings. you are trying to put a face to these jum bers that have been revealed on the disproportionate number of black children, particularly in preschools, who are suspended. >> absolutely. i didn't want to be the face of this. trust me. i do not. it's much easier to walk on and do your thing. but i had no choice. i really, really knew this issue, this is something that affected by kids. it's been very difficult for me. >> thank you for joining us.
