>> it's such a difficult and heartbreaking situation for all of us to see what is happening there for the people on both sides who are being affected by this conflict. and it's difficult to see a way through it because you have a situation where israel is dealing with the terrorist organization whose stated mission is to objectobliterate. >> and what you see on the ground in gaza is there has been over 1,000 palestinians mostly civilians killed. there's been over 40 israelis killed. mostly they were soldiers. i know when i was in bag badhdad, a lot of time we would get incoming and as a soldier you have a right to self-defense. we would go and target back and find out that it would be firing artillery rounds right near hospitals and schools so there would be collateral damage. is the collateral damage that we're seeing in gaza at an acceptable level, do you think, when we have over 1,000? >> it's such a hard question that you're asking because you're dealing with the terrorist organization that is seeking to exploit the sense of morality that israel has or any of these other countries

. >> what's happening on the border with kids is heartbreaking. it is the direct consequence of president obama's lawlessness. >> all the republicans are so busy blaming president obama they forgot the history. the law controlling how the immigrant kids are handled was, in fact signed by a different president. president bush signed the law in 2008 to protect immigrant kids against child trafficking. the bush administration said this is a piece of legislation we are proud to sign. republicans were proud. now it is the basis for impreachment. some in the gop are more concerned about political games than solving problems in the country. joining me now, ed rendell and angela rye. thanks for being here. governor, let me go to you first. what's your reaction to sarah palin calling for the president's impeachment over this humanitarian crisis? >> i am both furious and happy. i'm furious that sarah palin, the republican party and people in congress are talking impeach lt. the constitution says you can impeach for high crimes and misdemeanors. there is not

in cedar rapids, iowa, the water is going down by the heartbreak, only rising. this is the storm drain where 17-year-old logan blake vanished monday. a friend tried to rescue him but you can see the pipe is so big and there was just so much water. both were sucked right in. swept into subterranean nightmare of tunnels and raging water. logan's friend was carried for a mile and a half, miraculously ending up in a lake with only minor injuries. logan's family held out hope. >> he's an athletic kid. made a quick mistake. >> reporter: but they found logan's body in this lake. a single storm devastating this entire community. >> thank you. >>> and now to a developing story on america's southern border. today, flag-waving protest tors -- we have not be told today where the passengers on the bus were taken instead. >>> and a ball of fire following an israeli air strike. all of it following this. these three boys, benjamin netanyahu calling it the work of anima animals. >> reporter: striking back. israel making 34 air strikes on the gaza strip. israel said the strikes w

regardless of nationality, it's a heartbreaking event. with respect to the sanctions on the economy, we've consistently tried to tailor these sanctions in ways that would have an impact on russia, on their economy, on their institutions or individuals that are aid ing and abetting in the activities taking place in eastern ukraine, while minimizing the impacts on the global economy. it's a relevant consideration that we have to keep in mind. the world economy is integrated. russia is a large economy. there's a lot of financial flows between russia and the rest of the world. but we feel confident at this point, the sanctions we put in place are imposed upon russia, that the impact on the global economy is minimal. it's something that we have to obviously pay close attention to but i think treasury in consultation with our international partners have done a good job. all right? thank you very much. >> you've been listening live to president obama speaking at the white house. the top line, one american was killed in the plane over ukraine. we
