i'm bret baier in washington. two major stories breaking at this hour. a missile hit a malaysian airlines commercial plane carrying 295 people, causing it to break up over embattled eastern ukraine. there are no survivors. the plane was shot out of the sky. we still don't know exactly who fired that missile, but senior u.s. officials tell fox they're ruling out it was fired by the ukrainian military. and just in the last few hours, israel has launched a ground incursion and air bombardment in the gaza strip. that on the heels of palestinian rocket fire that broke a cease-fire and a wave of retaliatory israeli air strikes. we begin with the story that had been the story of the day. u.s. intelligence officials confirm a malaysia airlines jetliner was shot down by a surfa surface-to-air missile. the flight originated in the netherlands bound for ku ala lumpur. to sort out what we know at this hour, jennifer griffin looks at the geopolitical impact. ed henry with reaction from the administration. as the obama foreign policy is still under fire. but first, se

bret baier. jenna: new developments in the crisis unfolding in the middle east with israel shooting down a drone launch from gaza. the first time it encountered that type of technology. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu made it very clear on "fox news sunday" that his country will do whatever it has to do to defend itself? we'll not give them immunity. so we have to attack them. we try to minimize as we can civilian casualties. but with this kind of enemy we'll take, whatever necessary means that we need to take. i tell you, brit, we tried surgical action. we're not indiscriminate. it is very tough. there will always be civilian casualties which we regret but we have to defend our people and that's what we'll do. jenna: hamas launching nearly 1000 rockets at israel since the conflict began, aiming them at israeli cities with very heavy populations. israel targeting with 1300 airstrikes targeting hamas in gas s the u.n. secretary over the weekend called for immediate ceasefire. we'll talk

let's dial in bret baier from our nation's capitol.re, because to many, it seems like the united states has lost a lot of respect in the world policy stage. >> i don't think there are many people around the world who will disagree that the u.s. has lost juice on the global community stage. and you're right, there is a sense of how much leverage will the u.s. have? this seems to me that the efforts by secretary kerry and the u.n. secretary general in cairo deal more with the rising death toll and tapping into the feelings that it has gotten to a point where both sides need to get to the table, even some officials in the idf have said we have done what we need to do. so there are sounds and statements from israel that seem that it's heading that way. we'll have prime minister netanyahu on "special report" tonight and i'll ask him just that. >> good. >> bret, so we're in a world, global crisis here, everywhere you turn there is something going on and doesn't seem to be getting any better. speaking of secretary kerry, i want to shift it ba

bret baier is here. welcome to the program yet again. i am trying to track the way the democrats and the extent to which the democrats are moving away from the president and it seems like they are moving further and further away and it is getting worse and worse as we get close to the election. is that accurate? >> it is accurate in the red states. traditionally red states, states that voted for mitt romney in 2012, clearly there is an effort by those candidates, natalie tenant, mary landrieu mentioned mark baggage, mark prior in arkansas. there are other races, michelle none in georgia, these are all races where they are running away from the president, always from the administration. what they are not running away from is the money and that is why you are seeing the president out and about at all these fund-raisers for the democratic national committee and the democratic senatorial campaign committee and they are raising a lot of money but the polls are upside-down when it comes to review one the president campaigning with you. stuart:

we turn to bret baier. 6:00 p.m.building behind you, they must be exhausted. they got another vacation coming up starting on thursday. i think five weeks of recess. nothing has been done so far regarding this invasion on our southern border. we hear so much about the do nothing congress, but the brand-new whip on the republican side, he says he's not going anywhere. hear this first and then bret baier's take. >> the president's been awol from the very beginning. the president has a lot of time on his schedule to secure fund-raisers. he has no time to secure the border. he has not taken his job seriously in this regard. the house is willing to lead. 89 house laid out -- the house laid out what we'll do to solve this problem. the president wants to sit back and play politics. he's flying around the country doing fund-raisers. he doesn't have time to come and work with congress. >> the house can pass something, but without the senate, nothing. >> yeah. that's true. i think chris wallace pressed congressman scalise wheth

. >> bret baier is here. the secretary doesn't want to agree or disagree.ising? >> not really. they don't have an answer. if they wanted to be really forthcoming they would say there are real problems on the border and that goes on to say if republicans wanted to increase security they would pass the bill that pass in the senate that increased security. the real issue is the ability to get to the bottom of this particular case. you know the legislation is up and being debated and it is a bipartisan piece of legislation that would speed up the deportation process of the central american kids requiring them to see a judge within seven days and a large part lawmakers believe would help move the process along. but this is a huge crisis and all sides are weighing in. >> back to the transparency question on gretta on the record last night a reporter said all of the reporters said there has never been a more difficult atmosphere in which they do the work they do. >> i have never dealt with an administration where more officials, some of whom are paid to go the spo
