that it was israeli artillery that hit our school. in which 3,300 people sought refumg. we condemn in the strongest possible terms the serious violation of international law by israeli forces. >> at least 15 people were killed and 90 others injured when the shell slammed through the wall of two classrooms early this morning. women and children were sleeping inside. israel is saying it's investigating the strike and claims mortar shells have been fired near areas of u.n. schools and militants hidden inside them. ayman mohyeldin joins us with the latest. what new information have you been able to obtain on this? >> well, tamron, we had a chance this morning to go out to the u.n. school for ourselves to speak to eye witnesses and u.n. officials on the ground. and speak to those that are in charge of what this investigation really is about. according to them, u.n. officials, the director of

operations told us that the evidence they've collected including the shrapnel they found at the scene indicates or suggests to the u.n. in the initial investigation there was an israeli shell. we went to speak to palestinian eye witnesses. many who survived the attack. all of them told us there was no fighting taking place at the time. it was about 5:00 a.m. local time people were sleeping or praying in the morning hours when the shelling began. they say about seven shells landed in the vicinity of the school including the courtyard as well as the outer lying areas. that lead to the killing of at least 15 palestinian. the israeli military is saying it was in response to fighting and shooting that was coming from the vicinity of the u.n. school. they say they are launching an investigation but they have not yet claimed or denied responsibility for what happened today. and frankly we've spoke ton u.n. officials here and others who say that in the past similar incidents that have been investigated by the israeli military usually have little

success rate in producing any kind of justice for the victims or accountability within the israeli military if it was an air strike or intentional strike. on the ground here, the situation continues to be very dire for u.n. officials trying to keep these people safe. about 200,000 palestinians now staying in these 80 or so schools across the territory. many of them coming under regular increasing attack. so much so that the u.n. said about 90 different installations belonging to it have been damaged as a result of the ongoing fighting here in gaza. >> there is a great concern regarding the video released by hamas. i know, you've seen it showing militant s sneaking through the tunnels that israel said is a threat to their stability. firing on israeli army troops as well as in the video you see them attempting to capture or kidnap a soldier. this video released via hamas showing how they were able to enter the region.

>> that's right. that highlights the concerns that the israeli government has been talking about for some time. it says why this is such a major security threat for not only soldiers on border but israeli civilians in towns and communities on the other side. the video released by hamas's military showed several of the fighters crossing through the tunnel into israel before carrying out the brazen attack on a watchtower. it's not sure the timing of the incident or when it was filmed. a lot of evidence we have from either the israeli side or hamas's accounted self suggested it happened within the past 48 hours. that is significant. it shows that hamas's military wing is operational. it's chain of command is functional. it still has several tunnels that are still operational and could be used by the fighters to carry out attacks inside israel despite the ongoing military operation now that has entered several weeks and still has not been able to entirely put an end

to these types of attacks. that is after all the stated military objective by the israeli government to put the end to these types of attacks and at the same time diminish the rocket fire coming out of ga gaza. neither one seem to have succeeded in stopping the attack that hamas broadcast last night. joining me now former new mexico governor and u.n. ambassador during the clinton administration, bill richardson. ambassador, thank you for your time. governor, let me get your reaction to this latest attack. the u.n. spokesperson saying they informed israel 17 times that the building that was hit was a u.n. school. at least 15 people killed. children and women inside. israel said it's investigating this strike. but that mortar shells had been fired from areas near the u.n. schools. your reaction, sir >>well, look, this should be investigated. this is in the horror of a war. i would like to see the u.n. be a little more even handed. why don't they talk about hamas

shooting rockets and israeli cities harming noncombatants. why does it point out that hamas rejected all the jiegyptian cease-fires or shooting in harm's way of israeli noncombatants? this is the horror of war. this is why a cease-fire needs to be pushed extensively right now. >> so let me get clarification on what you're saying. you don't believe that the u.n. has been equal in its comments, in its concerns here regarding these strikes and not showing concerns regarding israel? what are you saying, sir? >> yeah, i am basically saying that, tamron. when i was an u.n. ambassador, i remember dealing with votes 180 to 3 against israel in the general assembly on israeli

palestinian issues. the u.n. human rights council pointing out israel and not focussing on some of the hamas atrocities. i think the palestinian moderates here are the good guys that need to be brought in to reign in hamas. what is encouraging it that in egypt, soon, there will be a conference between hamas, the palestinian moderates, and egypt in a way to promote a cease-fire. >> let me ask you about the criticism coming from israel directed at secretary of state john kerry this morning. ambassador ron determiner was asked about the recent criticism and here's what he said on morning joe. >> you have to understand who is making this criticism and where it's coming from. there were two journalists, i think, had the most withering criticism of the secretary.

it's like thinking president obama is writing talking points for han fip one of the reasons the secretary had a problem not from the prime minister but the public he was trying to advance a sustainable cease-fire and we appreciate his efforts to do so. the prime minister appreciates both what president obama and secretary kerry have said and done. >> that is israel's ambassador to the united states. what do you make of the criticism even if it is as noted from two journalists they had unnamed sources and several of the articles that were published >>well, look, tamron. the israeli public is supported by 90% of this israeli effort at stopping the situation with hamas. the prime minister is at 90% favorable with his actions. obviously the israeli public and the press, of course, they see a cease-fire right now as not being able to advance military

goals of israel, which is to destroy the rocket launch, the tunnels. there's criticism. as long as the prime minister, the israeli leadership know that's united states is backing israel, that secretary kerry is in a no win situation. he's trying to get a cease-fire. he's trying to push for a brokered deal sponsored by the egyptians. what we need to do is get the qatar i ares and get the entire region behind a cease-fire effort. i think that is a essential right now to stop the killings and stop these bombings of the u.n. schools and israeli civilians that are happening right now. you know, the israeli defense force have said they're concerned about the deaths on both sides. the hamas leadership, i saw the military commander say we're glorifying the death of israeli bodies. i mean, let's look at who the good and the bad guys are here. >> ambassador, thank you so much

in richmond, virginia this morning testimony just resumed in the trial of bob mcdonald and his wife maureen. coming after shocking revelat n revelations where attorneys for maureen laid out embarrassing personal details about the form are first couple. according to her defense the governor and his wife were struggling through the marriage for years. and the crush is partly to blame. the trial centers around accusations that the mcdonalds accepted $165,000 in loans and gifts from williams in exchange for help in promoting one of his by ventures. . it convicted they could face decades in prison. joining me now is politico. thank you for your time, katie. >> thank you for having me. who saw it coming? >> that's right.

what a start to the trial as it kicked off this week! >> as you noted, the defense lawyers for the mcdonalds indicated they're going to make the marriage a central piece of their argument. >> and that's an interesting twist of events. so much was focussed on the money and if williams had been given favors and preferable treatment as a result of the loans. we're hearing the ties were far more intimate than it seems than that >>well, the defense lawyers are doing everything they can to distance the governor mcdonald, of course, is the elected official in this case from the alleged scandal we've seen unfold. they've indicated they are willing to put the marriage and perhaps embarrassing details about the marriage up close and center as their argument on behalf of the mcdonalds. they're trying to paint this as broader issue as something

dynamic that stemmed as something tied to a crush that mrs. mcdonald allegedly argued may have had rather than sort of broader schemes tied to whether the governor's mansion was allowing favors in exchange for gifts and loans. >> things resumed today. part of what we're hearing is the governor will actually take the stand and read e-mails and letters where he attempted to save his marriage. i think it's been noted and should be noted here is a man that many saw having a bright national political future now and being willing to get on the stand in hopes of avoiding prison time here certainly also being willing to expose these personal secrets, it seems as if he may have given up on his political future, which obviously his freedom is far more important than that >>well, to say the least. things look different for governor mcdonald than they did two years ago when he was

considered a possible contender to be lon romney's running mate. many thought he could have had presidential path to presidential run himself. but of course as these allegations trickle down as the lawsuit came to a head. he made clear that he really wants to fight it on the legal front. if that means laying their potentially embarrassing details about the marriage, the defense team signalled he's willing to do that. >> williams is the star witness for the government. he received immunity for prosecution. and will testify against the mcdonalds. thank you for your time. we appreciate it. new security concerns after a boy sneaks into the wheel well of a military plane and dies. it's one of the stories we're following around the "newsnation." and here is a look what is hatching today, wednesday, july 30th. michelle obama is speaking at the washington fellowship for young african leaders summit. at the top of the hour, president obama will speak about

prosecutor about that? >> no. >> yesterday firearm's expert testified the shotgun wafer used was functioning properly and it could not have gone off unless the trigger was pulled on police recordings after his arrest he said he shot mcbride by accident. joining me now is lisa green. before we tautalk about the tes today. let's go back to the firearm expert saying the shotgun was in perfect working condition and it would have needed a individual to pull the trigger. >> as opposed the statement to the police that the gun dangered suggesting a passive relationship between him and his weapon the prosecution making the case that it requires effort and therefore an intentional act. >> this was a firearm's expert who examined the gun on the stand yesterday. we're picking up today with the defense questioning the investigation. despite the fact that detectives, when they got scene,

there was no suspicion of a break in. they knew that the gun was fired by him and they knew the victim was there. >> he told him. why is the defense nitpicking choices of words, movement of activity, you know, crime scene security and it's all to create drought in the juror's mind. it's directed a the jury. the standard is reasonable doubt. if you can get one juror to second guess authorities. after all, no one would say that we need accept anything at face value. if you have a juror who is concerned wonders if authority tell the truth. you can put a nugget of doubt in that juror's mind through the kind of questions, even if they seem unrelated. >> they do. >> your accomplishing an objective. you want the juror to say, you know, if they made a mistake about this. if the word accident is the wrong word. what else can i not trust? >> let's play another exchange with the same detective regarding possible footprints

found outside the of the home by the air conditioner. >> i don't know where the footprint was placed there. it could be he climbed on the air conditioner to look at his gutters. i don't know. i don't know where it came from. >> or maybe there was a second person trying to get into the house? >> then that's the person mr. wafer should have shot. >> you never looked for other people, did you? >> there was nobody to look for. >> alternative theories of the case. it's one thing for the defense attorney to kind of raise these hypothetical questions, the detective correctly answering within the scope of what he knows. it'll be another thing entirely for the defense attorney to produce a case, you know, a convincing case of self-defense. that's another thing we'll see it as soon as the prosecution wraps up. >> when we look at the original questioning of mr. wafer after the incident, there was, at least nothing i saw in perhaps you know better where he expressed there were two people

there. he thought there was a break in. he was being set up somehow. >> all true. the defense lawyer is creating an alternative narrative. and let's assume she doesn't call her client to the stand. we can talk about that. it's going to be her job to craft a story that jurors can accept as an alternative. >> you think the story there are two people. >> he didn't know. what if there was a second person. that would create enough fear to allow him to self-defense. that's very tough under the facts as we've talked about for him to be able to pull it off. that's the goal. >> what about the information from the gun expert regarding the trigger -- >> very important. what wafer has a major obstacle to freedom is two different stories. they don't coincide. an accident l self-defense case seems like a contradiction. it's interesting to see how the defense handlings that. >> thank you very much. it's great to have you on. house democrats go after

republicans and their lawsuit against president obama. over his use of executive actions. calling it aes with a of time. this as the full house prepares to debate the lawsuit today. big developments from both sides. nbc senior political editor mark murray will join me next with the news coming in. there's no reason for it to continue as the name of a team in our nation's capital. >> you heard it there. hillary clinton calls the name of the washington redskins name, quote, insensitive. what she to say. it's one of the things we thought you should know. from hollywood or from people who, i guess, live in hollywood? what sparked orlando bloom to reportedly throw a punch at justin bieber? people are tweeting that orlando bloom is a hero. i didn't know justin bieber had that many enemies. it's one of the strangest stories out there today around

welcome back. in a few hours the republican controlled house of representatives is set to begin debate on a bill authorizing a lawsuit against president obama over the use of executive orders. a measure specifically accuses the president of exceeding his powers by twice issuing executive orders to delay the so called employer mandate in his signature health care law. it's expected to pass a party line vote after plenty of sharp partisan rhetoric. this is within the past hour. >> americans are tired of a do nothing congress focussed on partisan divisions republicans are wasting time on a partisan lawsuit. when instead we ought to be taking action to support job creation and expand opportunities for the middle

class. >> joining me now live nbc news senior political editor mark murray. i cannot wait to see the new nbc wall street journal poll after the congress goes on their break. some of the things that will not be done here. nevertheless, as i pointed out sharp rhetoric on both sides. >> that's light. the polls you have referred to had congress's approval rating around 10%. sometimes a little bit lower. i wouldn't be surprised if our future polls will be in that same type of territory. just given's productivity given the partisanship and the lawsuit against president obama is the cherry on top here regarding that. and, you know, it is worth noting, tamron, this is energized democrats. for every action there's an opposite reaction and we've seen the democrats take this lawsuit, mention the talk about impeachment, and to raise money and get their side fired up for the midterm elections.

>> and the 0 bit on sunday. you know speaker boehner defb defended the lawsuit sayi int's the responsibility of the house to defend the constitution. we spoke about it yesterday there's a story that after the break and before the midterms the president plans to use his executive authority to make some movements regarding immigration reform. this will likely, as you said before, be fuel to the fire for drms, perhaps, of course for republicans. >> that's what the white house was saying when they were talking about impeachment. you have house republicans have the lawsuit regarding an employer mandate delay that was issued a year ago. what ends up happening when the administration goes ahead and does something and the executive action on immigration. one other thing worth noting. the employer mandate debate in the health care law. this is something we saw during the george bush medicare

prescription drug law. they ended up delaying penalties. you didn't see the opposition say there are republicans and administration breaking the law. there's a lot of wide flexibility and latitude that the administration has in implementing laws. sometimes implementing laws you end up tweaking some of the deadlines and penalties. >> we'll see what happens later today with that debate begins on the authorzation of the lawsuit. thank you very much. and right now on the hill, the first ever senate hearing on guns and violates against women is underway. one the supporters is former championship boxer kristy martin. she survived a murder attempt by her then husband. she's going join me live to tell her story and her own words and why she wanted to be at this hearing today. and a jury awards jesse ventura nearly $2 million after he sued a navy s.e.a.l. who claimed ventura slammed the

right now the senate judiciary committee is holding the first senate hearing how to better protect women from gun violence by abusive partners. it comets a day after the gun control group founded by former new york city mayor michael bloomberg released new ad. calling on republican senators to support legislation proposed by amy klobuchar to close federal loop holders that allows many domestic abusers to purchase guns. >> open the door! >> he just broke in the door.

you need to come now. get away from him. hey. put him down! get out! >> i'm taking him. >> joining me now live a victim of domestic violence who is attending the senate hearing now in progress. former boxing champion kristy martin. she survived being stabbed repeatedly and shot by her then husband who was attempted of second-degree murder. it's an honor to speak with you today. your bravery is immeasurable, to be honest with you. i know, during his trial in 2012, you told the story of how you were stabbed and then he shot you. for people who don't know what happened. tell us more of your story >>well, it's really -- i was unprepared physically. i had been laying down taking a. that.

decided i was going to go for a run. during the time i was sitting on the side of my bed, simply putting my shoes on, he came into the room with a knife and simply stabbed me repeatedly. cut my leg, cut the calf muscle almost completely from my leg. the gentleman that took note hospital described it as looking like a pot roast. as i lay there, i could hear the gurgling. i knew my lung had been ruptured. he came back in and shot me with my own 9 millimeter missing the heart by two to four inches. was hard. it's hard to say how close it was. but i know that was very close to death at that time. >> people who hear what you just told, your story that happened to you, they'll also see the bloomberg ad and might say this is too hard to hear. why do i have to hear these stories and such graphic details. why do you believe it is

necessary to give the blunt truth in all of its painful details to people watching and people who are at that senate hearing today? >> it's really simple. there are so many people that just don't realize what is going on behind closed doors in our neighbor's home. there's so many people that don't understand about domestic violence. my own family, the older generation in my family, i don't think they still, to this day, get the degree of domestic violence that i lived through and others lived through. it just seems like it was not happening in our own home it's not happening. that's just simply putting our head in the sand and moving forward. >> a big focus of the hearing relates to gun violence. you pointed out in your story the gun used against you was your very own weapon. the national rifle association is fighting senator klobuchar's

bill that would bar persons who have been convicted of domestic abuse from being able to go in and get these guns without background checks other issues there. as gun own are, you pointed out your gun was used against you. what are your feelings on the legislation? >> i'm still a gun owner and i'll continue to be a gun owner. we don't need to take guns away away from people that deserve to have guns that are or just hunters. my family, they're all avid hunters. there are so many people across the country that want to be gun collectors, want to shoot for practice. want to hunt. we have to get guns out the hands of the people that have dangerous thoughts and feelings. domestic abusers, stalkers, people with severe mental illness. these are the people we have to get the guns out of their hands. >> and last before we go, i have to ask you, how are you and your recovery at this point?

>> i'm blessed by god. i was able to get up off the floor and thank god a passing neighbor was kind enough to allow me to flag him down. rick was -- took me to the hospital. made sure that i was taken care of. here i am today and i think i'm here for one reason that's just to speak out and to let people know how important it is that we stop this -- the gun control that so many people have. we need to stop the domestic violence. we have to stop the stalking. these are the things that we have to bring to the forefront, to the attention of others. because some people just are not aware. we have to let them know. >> thank you for sharing your story. i know, there were many others as well who told how this is directly infected and impacted their families as well. we applaud their bravely, too. thank you so much. thank you for your time.
