anderson? >> barbara starr, i appreciate that update. richard quest, i think you're getting new information from klm? >> klm, yes, the royal dutch airlines, which was a co-chair partner with this flight from malaysian airline, has put out a statement, if i may read it. although not yet officially confirmed by malaysia airlines, it's with great regret that klm has learned about the possible incident with mh17. malaysia airlines from amsterdam to kuala lumpur. we are in contact with the airline. as a precautionary measure, klm, and then it gives a variety of numbers for people if they're in the air and they need more information. >> again, for family members now, this is going to be just a logistical nightmare, trying to get information. >> the international organization has very strict guidelines about how our airlines and how countries set up the provision of disaster relief for families. you've got to practice it. you've got to be ready. you've got to have the necessary phone lines. it's a very complicated operation. but in this case, o

anderson. >> nick paton walsh.ally, one step closer, finally out of territory controlled by pro-russian rebels. coming up, we'll talk with a medical examiner about how investigators will identify those remains. that's in about 15 minutes from now. a lot ahead. joining me now with month more on the knowns and the unknowns and the various claims, cnn military analyst, lieutenant colonel rick francano along with former air investigator david soucie. david, you brought a black box. obviously, it's not black. what, is this basically the same -- >> it's a different model, different manufacturer, but it does do the same thing. collects as many as 10,000 data points off of the aircraft. from that, where it would be important now anderson, is trying to figure out exactly what direction that missile came from, in case someone would try to say, it wasn't a missile at all, it must have been a bomb, it must have been something going on other than that. so this is a critical part of the proof of the aircraft, in that it will tel

anderson?> rosa flores, i appreciate the update. >>> up next, former new orleans mayor ray nagin, remember him? there he is. he is going to prison for ten years for corruption. see why prosecutor says the punishment does not fit the crime. drew griffin is on the case. >>> also, israel and hamas each pounding targets, and a new warning from a leading israeli that this could escalate even more very soon. to fuel economy... to quality... today's chevrolet has it all. and great news - the chevy 72 hour sale has just been extended. you'll get 0% apr for 72 months. plus no monthly payments for the rest of the summer. 0% apr for 72 months plus no monthly payments for the rest of the summer. the chevy 72 hour sale ends monday. find new roads at your local chevy dealer. that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve. at humana, we believe if healthcare changes, if it becomes simpler... if frustration and paperwork decrease... if grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home... the gap begins

>> good evening, anderson.ell, the shelling from the russian side into ukraine continues into g according to u.s. officials. and now today the u.s. says it has intelligence that shows russia is about to send additional heavy weapons into ukraine, into the separatist held area. this is going to be something called 220 millimeter multiple launch rocket systems. heavy weapons with large warheads. they could go about 20 miles. this is going to give the separatists once they get their hands on it from the russians the ability to escalate the ground war once again. and as always, it is very likely it's going to be the citizens, the civilians of eastern ukraine that may pay the price and get caught in the crossfire. >> from the pentagon perspective, how much of an explanation is this? >> well, the pentagon today said they do consider this a definite military escalation by russia. and it's really the unanswered question. what is vladimir putin up to. how far is he willing to go? he's got 15,000 troops on that border, f

anderson? >> chad, let's talk about the weather, what it was like over west africa when the crash occurred. again, we do not know what may have caused this crash. but as al was mentioning, a flight was diverted due to weather, so what was the situation? >> flying right through what meteorologists call the intertropical convergence zone, the itcz. it's where hurricanes form. we talk about hurricanes coming off the african coast and into the atlantic ocean. this is the zone that those storms form. and one cell right there north of the airport, probably 200 miles north of the airport, was right in the way of this airline as it flew through. we knew it tried to divert around this weather right there. we'll zoom right into you. look at the size of that cell right there, just south of gao. we're talking about a complex of thunderstorms all acting together. a mesocyclone, a mesc scale kwe convective complex. not just one cell but a series of cells in a big circle as this plane tried to fly through it

>> no, it doesn't really, anderson. this new video shows, as richard quest pointed out to me, at an impact site, you can get debris flying 10,000 feet, 5, 10,000 feet up into the air, because of the actual explosion itself. so it's not uncommon to have debris this close to when the accident happened falling from the sky. any debris that would have happened when the aircraft came down would have closely followed the aircraft and wouldn't be located at this point, because of the fact the aircraft is moving at 480 miles per hour, so where it breaks apart, those pieces are far from the impact zone. so what my concern was at first was that we might be jumping to a conclusion and as an accident investigator, that's the hardest thing not to do, is to jump to the most obvious conclusion, and the most coincidental conclusion. so when you look at this video, though, you'll miss things that are in front of your face. and by looking at this video, not the one showing now, but the one prior when we showed the actual impact point, yo

anderson? >> when you're talking about ten kilometers, the flight altitude of this malaysian plane, is about 30,000 feet, which is sort of cruising altitude. so very high for any kind of surface-to-air missile. you would definitely need some sort of advanced surface-to-air missile. and the critical question is if, in fact, it was a missile, where would it have been fired from? would it have been fired from the donetsk region from inside ukrainian territory or from russian territory? nick, what are you hearing from ukrainian officials? because in the past several days, they have been saying that russian military advisers, that russian military personnel, are actually now stationed on ukrainian territory fighting alongside these separatists? >> well, clearly, and we've seen ourselves a lot of russian citizens, volunteers, many former military service who are accused of being controlled and run by russian security services have been fighting along these separatists for some time, increasingly open

>> reporter: yes, anderson. we actually just got the order to evacuate our hotel, which is on the gaza coast. that was after some fairly heavy bombardment of the gaza seaport by israeli boats offshore. and we are now headed away from the coastline. apparently that entire area is now unsafe. certainly what we've seen this evening, anderson, is the most intense israeli bombardment i've seen in the last ten days. tank fire, artillery fire, fire from ships at sea, air strikes, definitely sort along the entire border but actually focused on the northern part of gaza. but what we're seeing is just strikes from the far south, far north at the moment. andersoned? >> ben, you have been there before when there have been ground operations by israel. you've seen what it's like. explain the difficulties, the dangers that lay ahead. >> well, the dangers are that as soon as israeli ground forces enter and they are very heavy little armed, there's a tendency for huge destruction of houses and huge loss of life. when i was here

it's anderson cooper. can you hear me in. >> yes, anderson, i can hear you fine. thank you so much for joining us in your time of grief. tell us about your nephews. >> well, they were wonderful kids. there are two, 19-year-old shaka and 11-year-old miguel. we were at a very moving ceremony at an air force base here in the netherlands about an hour and a half away from amsterdam. and the arrival of the 60 coffins, it was extremely emotional. and all the dignitaries were there, the king and queen, the prime minister, some other government officials, family members. so, yeah, it was not closure yet, but it was still very moving for all of us. >> harum, you and i spoke several days ago. you whole family has gathered. we saw an interview you did with chris cuomo earlier this morning. i know you have been in touch with authorities there. have you been getting -- i mean, the netherlands it seems really has -- there's been this outpouring of emotion. have they been -- have you been happy with the way you have been dealt with, wait they have handled this on your end? it's

anderson?ports, have you seen any -- either directly or had any reports of casualties? >> not immediately on that building. we did as you saw there, a live picture of ambulance crews and fire trucks racing to that scene, you caught that scene live almost as it was beginning to unfold, we doesn't see people being loaded into the ambulance, but from my vantage point, i saw people crossing the street that appeared to be making their way very hastily out of the base of that building. >> karl penhaul continuing to keep cover, we'll check in with you throughout the two-hour broadcast. >>> much more ahead, we're live until 10:00 p.m. eastern tonight. we'll be right back. ♪ [music] defiance is in our bones. defiance never grows old. citracal maximum. easily absorbed calcium plus d. beauty is bone deep. but they have to use special care in keeping the denture clean. dentures are very different to real teeth. they're about 10 times softer and may have surface pores where bacteria can multiply. polident i

>> reporter: it's quiet at the moment, anderson.t's 3:30 in the morning but about 15 minutes ago, we heard what sounded like naval bombardment on to targets within gaza city. the evening was fairly bloody for other parts of the gaza strip to the south of here, a family home was hit, seven people killed. children among them and another place in the same town, a cafe, outdoor cafe where people apparently were watching the world cup being played, that got hit, as well. conformation that five people were killed there. we have seen fairly steady strikes on gaza today, anderson, and what we're not seeing, however, is people on the street unlike yesterday it appears most people want to stay inside, stay out of harm's way. anderson? >> ben, troops have mobilized along the boarder, right? >> reporter: to a certain extend, as you mentioned, the cabinet authorized the call up of as many as 40,000 troops but that number doesn't appear to have actually been mobile wised and deployed along the gaza boarder. so preparations are being made, the lan

the problem is, anderson, in this densely populated area, there is nowhere for them to go. one place to the other, any kind of military operation is putting them at risk and as we can see, you me, there are multiple engagements all over the gaza strip at any given time, so it's almost inconceivable they would be able to find, you just can't move people back and forth. >> the 3300 people had been told to leave an area farther north for their safety, and they did that. they were displaced and there are some 220,000 people. >> the initial targeting, they were told to leave, that was planned probably several days in advance. we'll operate in this area. these other targets are cropping up as the battle progresses. >> so it's for israel, they want to try to respond as quickly -- i mean, if hamas sets up a rocket battery to fire mortars, they will move that relatively quickly so there is a time issue that israel wants to get. >> the standard concept is shoot and scoot. >> that's by hamas? >> by anybody. you want to get that out going round out as fast as you can, otherwise you'll

>> it says a couple things, anderson.emost, it seems to be a plea for privacy on her behalf and also seems to be a warning not to be well, rushing any kind of judgment whit comes to the treatment of the mother. it's particularly critical of the news media, it says newspapers, television and online immediate have have fostered an atmosphere in her every word, action or emotion or failure to cry in front of a crowd is execuscrutinized for s mean meaning and hounded olympic bombing hero richard jewell when he didn't behave as some thought he should. he was accused by law enforcement and members of the media perhaps maybe being involved. he was not. he was exonerated fully but when he died in 2007 he always said he lived the rest of his life under a cloud of suspicion, anderson. >> there is no mention of her husband in the statement, right? >> right, and that really to me and a lot of others stood out as being the loudest not said statement. i mean, this was a woman who just a couple weeks ago stood up at the funeral of her y

anderson? >> gary tuchman, appreciate it. get out of the rain. a dangerous way many kids make it north. the risks are many as gary mentioned. derailments like today but there is just one danger as -- there is not just one danger i should say as our carl found out when he rode the train. >> reporter: some calm it the beast, to others it's the train of death. but to all these illegal migrants it's a dream to wash dishes. >> we work, if you're born over there your life will be different, you're going to work in an office, go to a nice high school, go to a nice college, you know. i don't think we're stealing their money or their jobs, you know. >> reporter: like most from central american countries like guatemala and honduras, thigh will spend days clinging to cargo trains as they grind through southern mexico up towards the u.s. boarder. human rights groups estimate thousands have died falling from trains like this, some of them mutilated under the wheels. in route to the u.s. boarder, many more have been robbed, raped, and kidnapped. the mexican au

>> anderson, there is never going to be an investigation. clearly, at this point the best evidence points to the rebels. they do not want to come out and provide witnesses. they might have the planes pulled away as people wonder throughout the site but they are not going to have police helping with the investigation. we need to find out who shot the missile and why and we're not going to get that now. it's in the middle of a civil war. i've never seen a worse situation to investigate an airline shootdown like this ever. i mean, you know, even over the ocean you're better off and the russians clearly do not intend to help and they will step up the fight in the eastern ukraine. they are in trouble right now and they will keep sending more weapons across and right now they don't care about an investigation. >> miles, i hope i'm wrong on this and i very well may be but i say i kind of agree with bob here and my hope is that at least there is some sort of systematic search for the remaining victims here because it seems like at least get those, t

our news coverage of flight 17 continues now with anderson continues now with anderson cooper, 360. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> good everythining. thanks for joining us. a reality in darkness breaks your heart of the notion how this came to be, turns your stomach. a large piece of the 777 flight 17 inside the wreckage that remains no life. human remains are everywhere. white ribbons mark the place they came to rest after a missile blew the plane from the sky. they lie in a war zone and because of that, because of that fact, more than a day after the fact, they lie there still, another horrifying reality. so is the reality that a weapon of war brought down a civilian jet and due to that, america's tense relationship with the cold war adversary is getting tense still. the chill is growing and rhetoric is heating up as new facts emerge in the investigation. we'll cover all the angels tonight. we go live to phil black in a moment, the only correspondent to get access to the crash site and we will as always, take time and great care to try to remember the lives, to honor the

>> you would need a lot, anderson.a sophisticated system tracking a plane at that altitude, not like a shoulder fired weapon that would take a week training. so it was a crew that worked together that could track an airplane like that, especially at that altitude of 33,000 feet. you know, this is russian trained crew now whether they were answering to a russian unit or ukraine or even a ukrainian unit, i can't tell you. it takes a lot. this is a skilled crew. >> we should point out the ukrainian military itself, they most likely, do they have these systems, as well? >> they do have those systems. one reason we know, officials told me that they had a system like this, a base in eastern ukraine over run at the end of last month, end of june, june 29th by prorussian acceseparate who took control of a system. they advertised it on twitter. there are pictures out there of russian militants taking control. that's a reason why ukrainian officials say they believe it was a boot missile system that took this plane down. the oth

anderson?wolf, the word from israel is they're ready to step up their campaign against hamas, right? >> yeah, they certainly are. the israeli cabinet, the security cabinet met late into the night, wrapping it up only a little while ago at the defense industry in tel aviv with the prime minister benjamin netanyahu running that meeting. and all indications are the israelis are primarily concerned right now some of these underground bunkers, these tunnels that supposedly housed a lot of these missiles, these rockets. and they want to go in there. you can't just do it with air power. so there may be some israeli ground action. i don't anticipate a full-scale israeli military invasion to try to reoccupy all of gaza or anything like that. but some limited kinds of ground assaults clearly seem to be in the works. >> and wolf, in terms of the ceasefire proposal, that's at this point just dead? >> well, you know, there are some efforts behind the scenes to revive it. the egyptians haven't given up compl

government, true, anderson. today, the state department actually spoke about this in detail. let's quickly have a listen. >> we have new evidence that the russians intend to deliver heavier and more powerful multiple rocket launchers to the separatist forces in ukraine and have evidence that russia is firing artillery from within russia to attack ukrainian military positions. >> now here at cnn, we know behind the scenes that the u.s. has been looking at this for the last several days, and they now believe they have the satellite and radar intelligence that tells them the russians have actually been shelling most of this week, if you will for the last several days. there are even photos out there i think we can show everyone that u.s. intelligence is scrutinizing right now. these are artillery pieces, and the u.s. is looking to see if it can demonstrate the claim that russian soldiers are making that they took these pictures from the russian side of the border, including the empty artillery shells after they fir

>> yes, anderson.tillery fire from the sea along the gaza coastline, at least the gaza city coastline. we also understand that in some of the neighborhoods inland from here, there has also been air strikes. there was an air strike on a seaside coffee shop as well. we've heard lots of ambulances as well. so it definitely looks like there is a pickup in the level of activity. that follows a rather odd evening. we saw multiple rockets being fired into israel from the late afternoon and into the evening. and normally, what happens is there is a very quick response. but nothing happened. nothing came. and people here in gaza, they know these patterns. and they're starting to worry. of course, we have heard all this talk about a ground incursion by israeli forces. and that is what people expect next. i was to the north of here in a town called beithanun that they should leave that area. it has nearly 100 people in it. it's an area close to the border, one from which rockets are occasionally fired and always

. >> reporter: hi, cheryl, that is the anderson family from novato. and actually standing in what remains of their vacation home. it has been here for more than 50 years. this is actually the laundry room i'm in right now. the bathroom was apparently on this side. this obviously represents a very difficult time for this family. but down the road a much different experience for those who are allowed back in today. >> it has been really hard because it is just not the same. not being at our house. >> the ramirez family is finally back home two days after they were evacuated from the estates as the massive canyon fire marched towards their neighborhood. so how does it look to you around here? >> it is not as bad as we thought it would be. >> reporter: the ramirez family has settled in for now. but with active fires still to the north, they and all the family in the estates were told by the officials they should be ready to leave again if necessary. >> it is kind of scary to know that any moment it can just change and come back to your direction. >> right

>> yes, what we've seen, anderson, it's not like it what it was when we were here.ach seems to be much more targeted. today, this evening what we've seen is specific targeting of leaders of jihad military wings the central and northern part of gaza. they seem to be much more focused than they were before. in audition to hitting the leaders when they were out and about, they have been striking at their homes, as well. we were at one house where this is a family affiliated with hamas. we saw seven people were killed there, including two children when apparently the head, the woman who heads the household there got a phone call from a man called david speaking hebrew telling her to leave the house immediately. peel fr people from the neighborhood gathered around the house as human shields, so to speak and israelis struck killing seven. the real focus is not on large targets but rather individuals. >> the israeli cabinet proved for the military to call as many as 40,000 reservest. a ground attack while possible is not imminent, is that correct? >> yes, and first of all,

>> it certainly feels that way, anderson. how many people would feel comfortable flying into that region of the world and remains the safest mode of transportation. statistics are like one in 55 million you would be involved in an aviation incident but if the perception it's not safe, then there is a real crisis of confidence. that's why what the faa did at the airport is important. thankfully they intervened. imagine they left it up to the airlines themselves to assess the security threat. planes may not fly in there for many days. that's the role you want the faa and governments to play, a role to respond to what increasingly seems to be a hostile world that comes together with commercial aviation. >> what do you make of the faa resending the ban on tel aviv? >> i think it was smart in the first place. when bloomberg went over, he needs to read regulations because they state if there is an identified risk by anyone, that's part of the safety system. anyone within that system, pilots, passengers who raises a significant risk

i'm anderson cooper. thank you for joining us. we begin this hour with breaking news on the downing of mh 17 in eastern ukraine. president obama speaking moments ago from the white house. again, calling out russia in the deaths of 298 people. >> russia has extraordinary influence over these separatists. no one denies that. russia has urged them on. russia has trained them. we know that russia has armed them with military equipment and weapons, including anti-aircraft weapons. key separatist leaders are russian citizens. so given its direct influence over the separatists, russia and president putin in particular has direct responsibility to compel them to cooperate with the investigation. that is the least that they can do. my preference continues to be finding a diplomatic resolution within ukraine. i believe that can still happen. that is my preference today. and it will continue to be pie preference. but if russia continues to violate ukraine's sovereignty and to back these separatists and these separatists become more and more

but anderson, let's be clear.ted states is the dominant economic and military power in the world. every country in the world thinks that our policy ought to favor them. when i first went to the middle east, i went to 17 countries, and i met with the leaders there many, many times. and every time they would criticize american policy, i would ask them, well, what do you think our policy should be? and without exception, they wanted our policy to be consistent with their country's interests. so you is a do accept as the dominant power with a sense of maturity and some degree of resignation that you're going to get criticized. people expect us to solve every problem this the world. we don't have that capability. we have an unequal capacity to influence events. and that's what the secretary is trying to do. and i think ultimately, it will be in the interests of both sides obvious to them to end the fighting. the next step will be to get to the point where they can negotiate. i think that's a way off. >> it certainly se

"legal view" with anderson cooper starts right now. >>> good afternoon, i'm anderson cooper. it is friday, july 25th. as we begin this hour, i want to welcome our viewers in the united states and watching around the world. it's been eight days now since malaysia airlines flight 17 was blown out of the sky in eastern ukraine and still the crash site is not secured. no major investigation has been conducted in the zone which is controlled by the same pro-russian rebels the united states accuses of shooting down the plane. today, some top rebel leaders showed up at the crash site in uniforms in marked cars, but perhaps most disturbing, officials at the scene say the remains of dozens of victims still may be laying among the wreckage exposed to the elements. personal effects belonging to the victims have suddenly suspiciously appeared among the wre wreckage. when those items were not there yesterday or even the day before. this morning, another military plane carrying mh-17 victims landed in the netherlands. another flight is scheduled for tomorrow. meanwhile, dutch and australia

>> i don't have an easy answer for that, anderson. osce are making daily visits out there. we know there have been ukrainian government, aviation experts visiting, even though the separatists are at war with the ukrainian government and don't recognize it. we know that there have been some forensic experts, members of the malaysia delegation but the fact is, is that you have the giant tail of this doomed plane just laying in a farm field and other scraps of this plane just kind of daunting the surrounding farm fields. if there is any consolation, this corner of ukraine is beautiful. it is pastoral. we do not see what we heard is the world's biggest criminal investigation crime scene. >> richard quest, i'm not even talking about investigating the crime scene, i'm not even talking about looking through wreckage, i'm talking about 98 souls, 100 souls, as many as somebody making an effort to bring them home. >> it's inconceivable. it's inconceivable but i'm guessing and ivan can confirm the issue is safety. the issue is a war that continu

and you well know this, anderson. sometimes when we try to chase -- try to talk to members and clarify their comments, i have to chase them down the hallways that wasn't the case with congressman nugent. he and his staff invited us into his office where i asked him if he stands by his comments that some of these children coming illegally are actually gang members. he said yes, and explained why. >> i believe that some members of ms 13 have come across the border. i know that only because of the reports from fox news, from phoenix that reported in an interview with the president of the border patrol union that was talking about just that particular issue. and it is about 16 that were identified because of the tattoos they had. it doesn't mean they're all identified. >> but as a sitting member of congress, you also have access to try to get information on your own, not with news reports. >> right. >> have you tried to figure out if what you saw and what you said is accurate? >> well, i mean, i can only go by what the bo

>> reporter: that's correct, anderson.any australian who have flown half way around the world to do this. the dutch issued a statements out of kiev today and just reading between the lines you can sense frustration in being able to not get out there, not only people, anderson, equipment, specialized equipment, i've seen on the list people qualified divers that can go into big bonds of water and search for debris. i walk around here in this hotel where they are staying and you can read it because they are keen to get out there, number one priority, collect human remains, treat them with dignity and have that moved as quickly as possible back to the netherlands and back to their families. >> i know today you believed you would be able to get to the site because there were high-level talks in kiev and pro-russian rebels in donetsk, promises had been made on all sides and as you said, clearly, somebody did not honor the promises. are you hopeful, crossing your fingers tomorrow is going to be different? >> i think we can say we

>> good evening anderson.n the boarder and in the last several days they moved very close, less than five miles from the border in some cases, some broke into small groups right on the boarder with eastern ukraine. why are they doing this? the u.s. intelligence community believes that russians may be positioning themselves to be able indeed to fire from their side of the boarder. surface to air missiles, rockets, artillery, what have you. if they can do that and stay on their side of the boarder and fire into ukraine and the rebel held areas, they can carry out attacks and have plausible deniability. all of this goes to the point that vladimir putin's military forces not behaving like the community of nations do behave in in europe and the west, certainly. there is a lot of concern about it. they don't know what will happen next. >> is there anything new on the shootdown of mh-17. >> they now calculate when the missile was launched against the aircraft, that missile flue pew perhaps for less than ten seconds a

anderson?israel also often says in situations like this that hamas rockets or other group's rockets may have misfired and landed or that rockets were being fired by hamas or islam jihad or another group from the vicinity. has israel said anything specifically about this incident, about whether or not it was israeli shells, and whether or not there was any fighting in the region or any shots being fired by hamas or another group toward israel? >> reporter: yeah, nothing with regard to hamas rockets and you're right, they often do say they because it often is true. hamas rockets do come up short and kill palestinians. in this case, what we're hearing from israelis is they say they don't target civilians here and they are saying that over and over again. >> all right. appreciate it. we'll dig deeper in the dangerous mix of civilians and troops. the middle east program of the international crisis group. nathan, yesterday rockets were discovered in a un facility for the third time during the conflic

i mean, i've talked to people that lived in that area for 17 years, anderson, and never left.an you imagine that? i talked to a woman who is an american citizen, right, a 21-year-old woman roxy who has not left that area -- >> for fear -- >> or a guy that couldn't. >> i know you have to appear before an immigration judge. we'll obviously continue to follow that. appreciate you being on tonight, thank you. >>> you heard a u.s. congressman warning about gang members coming into the country. again, there is no evidence that in large numbers this is happening in a substantial way. that congressman said he had been told there were 16 members of ms coming out of tens of thousands of these kids. there is plenty of evidence, though, of what these kids are returning from. you can find it in honduras at the local morgue, take a look. >> reporter: in this building in the coroner's office is where the most painful exchange happens. families come here to claim bodies, so they find out if their loved one is alive or dead. look at this wall. this entire wall is filled with men and women miss

anderson. >> brooke, thanks very much.y in which we have seen more victims from flight mh-17 returning to the netherlands, the first part of a journey returning home. i'm joined by the prime minister of the netherlands, mark rutte. i appreciate you taking the time to be with us. the netherlands has done an extraordinary job of welcoming the first victims of this crash back with dignity and with honor. and with respect. you have said that something fundamental changed last thursday when this plane was shot down. what has changed? >> well, as you can understand, we are a nation in mourning. the loss of 194 of my countrymen, in total 298 in the plane has been an earthbreaking and shattering species experience for the whole country. and it was extremely important yesterday as a nation to come together to stand shoulder-by-shoulder and to try to assess and get a place to everything which happened since last thursday. >> the beauty of what you did yesterday and today was in stark contrast, obviously, to the horror that we witnes

anderson?the israeli cabinet has now approved for the military to call up as many as 40,000 reservists. the military saying a ground attack while possible, it's not eminent. that correct? >> yes. first of all, it takes a long time to mobilize those 40,000 men to get them down around gaza with the right ammunition and hardware for a ground operation. i was in gaza in 2009, january when there was a ground incursion. it's a big operation. there is a lot of challenges. because it's one thing to do air strikes. but when you send men inside gaza, some of these alleyways and refugee camps, there is a high probability of, a, many casualties among israeli forces. and of course among the palestinians themselves who unlike the israelis don't have bomb shelters or protected rooms. so there is some hesitation among israeli military leaders to sort of take that step at this point. despite the fact that the government did authorize the call-up if necessary of 40,000 men. and women. >> ben, i appreciate the re
