i'm going to keep quiet. >> karl, i want you to stand by over there. want to keep that shot up for our viewers in the united states and around the world. i want to bring in for some analysis dr. mustafa barghouti, a member of the palestinian parliament. he's joining us from ramallah. dr. barghouti, you can certainly hear the shots, these flares that are overgaza city right now. it just sort of underscores the need for a cease-fire, a realistic cease-fire. is that doable, do you believe, right now or is that out of the question? >> absolutely it is doable. but it all depends on mr. netanyahu, the prime minister of israel who announced today that he insists to proceed with his military operation. he's even expanding it. and he is dragging the whole area, the whole region into a disaster. he's dragging his soldiers to be killed. and he's drag the palestinians into a massacre. so far, 1,085 palestinians have been killed, as you know 90% of them are civilians, children, women. today, eight children were playing on the beach thinking there is some kind of an

>> i believe it's operational security reasons, karl. once again, the idf comes clean if we've made a mistake. we have a track record on that. and once again, i'd ask you. i heard tonight the u.n.'s spokesman on "meet the press" on nbc, a lot of people, i think, rush to conclusions. i think it is more complicated that a lot of people thought at the beginning that people were killed, i don't deny. the question is, whose ordinance was it and in what circumstances did it happen? if there's an allegation that israel deliberately and knowingly targeted civilians, that is not true. >> i want to ask you, mark, you talk through this. let me ask you, you talked about that you didn't know the specifics of this. >> i don't claim to be an expert on munitions and it's not fair to ask me because it's not my air of expertise. >> is the investigation over? because if an inquiry has been done and they've come to this conclusion, does that mean this is over and this is all we're going to get from this? because it is quite confusing. no, we didn't kill anyb

. >> karl, i have to ask you this about hamas. what is their rat strategy? militarily they are not going to beat the israeli army. what are they trying to achieve at this stage? >> one might say that is always the nature of asymmetric or guerrilla war where you have the israeli military fighting hamas. so any day that hamas stands, survives to fight another day is in certain terms a political and propaganda victory for hamas. that's what they are trying to do and they are trying to galvanize support to get a change in the status quo. their game is to free up the borders and get better free of goods and services in to gaza and improve living conditions for this strip of land. >> thank you very much. we will have a report from the israeli side of the border a little bit later on cnn. >> as we get reports of investigators having their work hampered at the crash of mh17 who will take charge of the operation? we are live in kiev after the break. >>> welcome back. we're live in london there are growing concerns today about the security and integrity of the crash s

i want to bring in abc's chief westinghouse correspondent jonathan karl. i want to take our viewers back to the images we saw, the explosions, the ground incursion under way. what is the white house saying if anything? >> reporter: they seem to be blind-sided by the israeli invasion. yesterday the president came into the white house briefing room and before the cameras said he was working with world leaders to get a cease-fire. just hours before the invasion, the spokesperson for the state department expressed optimism that the cease-fire would take hold. now, of course, you have an escalation, not a cease-fire, although it's important to say the white house has said over and over again that israel does have a right to defend itself. >> optimistic just today about a cease-fire. i wanted to get back to the plane. we heard the president today say he would support the investigation, but the white house also waiting for word tonight on whether there were americans on board? >> reporter: no indication of americans on board. vice-president biden today darkly warne

functions on album mobile devices allow for monitoring of personal data saying that's kind of scary now karl i know you wrote that you wrote this on marketing or this is your your purview here so what's your take. i think this is one of the most serious things we've seen to date in the area of privacy invasion the impact of this especially on regulated industries say much less ordinary consumers cannot be overstated essentially what apple has included and let's not kid ourselves here this came directly from cupertino this was not something that a hacker put in the phones or in the devices this came from the manufacturer is a means for any device that has ever been paired against that particular apple product to be able to access information that no one should have access to even wirelessly on a permanent basis in less you wipe the unit completely clean so the danger here isn't so much that i can break into your device just random willy nilly instead if for example you want to plug your phone into a computer because you want to sync some music to it or you want to update or something like this

karl, i wonder if you could comment on that. you're on the ground there. you've witnessed many of these strikes and much of this fighting. what have you seen yourself in terms of the tactics that hamas uses. if it is true what the israelis say is right, that they, in effect, fire from populated areas on purpose? >> reporter: well, i think, of course, hamas is firing rockets. and this afternoon, maybe an hour and a half ago, we saw another four rockets being fired off towards israel. i think if you look at that israeli military video that you're referring to -- and it's good that they're putting this out, and again, they also seem to be taking notice of our pleas to give us better resolution gun cam footage. but if you look at that video, it may not quite be as advertised. if you look at it carefully, it seems that a lot of those rocket firing points come from orchards, small fields, small plots of land. yes, of course, you do see buildings alongside those plots of land. and if you look carefully, maybe one or two of those firing points are from inside a bu

. >> karl, i want to bring in retired u.s.nt colonel rick francona, cnn military analyst into the fold here as well. colonel, how does this change israel's strategy now? >> it will change their tactics almost immediately. excellent reporting from karl there. they're probably going to start looking for him right now. this is the same thing that would have happened -- let's talk about bowe bergdahl when he went missing. immediately everything stops and everyone goes into a search and recovery mode to try to find this guy. you'll see increased drone activity, more commando activity because the best chance of getting him back is getting him back quickly. once they have him for any length of time, they're going to move him to somewhere secure and then we'll probably see some proof of life or video or something later. now is the critical time. if they're going to get him, they're going to get him now. we'll see a flurry of activity. as far as the long-term goal of the israelis, i don't think it will change much. they're committed to

. >> karl, i suppose you some have said border crisis is president obama's katrina moment. do you agree with that as a significant moment for this presidency. >> it is a big moment. i will let others say whether it's equal or not. but, lack, president bush recognized that he didn't -- that he made a mistake by not dropping. he shouldn't have gone to new orleans that day. but we should have dropped him into baton rouge and gone to the command center. you don't want a president visiting a site within 24 hours of the time that the hurricane had passed. you don't want him in the middle of that every moment is needed at the airport to bring in supplies, not to bring in a president. but we should have gone to baton rouge. but, yes, president obama should be -- have gone to the border. the difference between bush and obama is that president bush went to new orleans within several days after the crisis began. president obama has yet to go to this -- to the border and this crisis has been months unrolling. in fact, years. remember, prior to 2012, we had roughly 4,000 unaccompanied m

i think we can call it a war. karl penhaul in gaza, thanks very much. >>> let's get some insight now into israel's military strategy and today's developments. we're joined by retired israeli air force major general amos yadlin, now heads the institute for national security suddtudiet tel aviv university. what is the israeli military strategy right now in the short term and in the long term? >> this fight, this war can be finished in a minute that hamas will stop launching rockets to israel. they refused to accept the quiet for quiet, the egyptian cease-fire proposal. they violate their own cease-fire humanitarian cease-fire. so this is about what we are seeing. the israeli strategy is protecting our land from the rockets. and then destroying the tunnels, what you called militant and i call terrorists, prepare to attack the israeli settlements. >> the general in charge of the southern command, general sammy turgiman, he says that operation seems to be coming to an end, destroying those tunnels. is that what you're heari

>> you know, if i had all the answers to that i would be richer than karl rove. i don't -- [laughter] i like karl rove. he's from austin. it's okay. clearly having a government really believing and policymakers really believing in advocating for cheaper reliable energy is part of the. instead what we've had is a lot of social engineering and a lot of talk about we are tackling climate change when, in fact, the u.s. is leading the world in reducing co2 emissions and not by a little bit but by a loud. clearly part of it will have to be revisiting the regular toward regimes everywhere to unlock more growth. but i think fundamentally it starts with cheaper reliable energy and then the regulatory state. okay, i'm getting the hook. thank you.

i think he would prefer to diplomatic action. >> karl, i want to go to you now. u're in the middle there in the casualty certainly extremly high on the palestinian side. i wonder if you get a sense that that has sapped sore for hamas or if, in fact, the people thaw encounter there are pushing back for a more robust response from hamas' side, more rockets, et cetera? >> i don't think we can understate that. it was always going to be an asymmetrical war and they were going to have to meet hamas in a guerrilla-style war. we know gaza is a built-up area. those are the facts that the israeli military had to plan with. those are the facts that hamas fighters are also planning with. but that doesn't mean according to the geneva conventions and the rules of war that civilians should suffer because of the actions of either of these warring sides but what we have seen this morning is precisely that. we need to give a voice to the civilians, they are talking to us. at first light today across there in eastern gaza where you see that plume of smoke going on, that neighborhood

and not only did karl -- and i think karl is a good correspondent second only to ed henry, our guy. bs and even nbc. i mean, when nbc starts to pound the president, you know something is going on do you feel that there is a disintegrations of the administration? >> i think this a lot of it attracts public support. less cynicism and trust of this president certainly before his election than even when there was a year ago. when you add to that a volume of things. if you asked the president throughout his first term and even through his second term about a lot of problems he faced. stock reaction has been to say look at what i inherited. no doubt he inherited a lot of bad things. that becomes less, and less credible as time goes on. >> especially when the problems get worse. >> that's right. >> you say something very interesting. you say it attracts the polls. i don't think network news coverage should track the polls. we certainly don't track the polls on the factor. we do the stories that we believe are important for the american people to know about. but i think you are right. i thin

karl, i do not see the off ramp here. ides are moving forward with their respective operations. >> reporter: absolutely, christine. i was thinking the same thing. on one hand, you have the israeli government warning their citizens to prepare themselves for a prolonged campaign on the other, hamas warning there can be no middle ground. both sides believe they are going to go for this war, in many senses, it's shaping up to what hamas politicians said it could be, a war to end the wars. we have seen the horrible pictures from yesterday and the impact is falling on civilians. yesterday, over 120 people killed. i don't think it's right we focus on the numbers. that does not give us the pictures. one reason, the pictures you are looking at that came from that crowded marketplace, those were brought to you because two palestinian journalists were on the ground there. one got killed in that explosion and his assistant picked up the camera and carried on rolling. he could focus on nothing else but his job at the time. it was so im

. >> karl, i understand the u.n. tried to investigate today the blast at the u.n. school.re we any closer to learning the truth about what happened and who is responsible? >> no, absolutely not, anderson. because that u.n. team of investigators did go into the school. they had informed the israeli military that they were going in to start their investigation, and they said that shortly after they got into the school, gunfire erupted all around them, and they had to pull out really pretty quickly. you also have to remember there has been no chain of custody of the evidence. what i mean by, that nobody has been looking after that school. that school has not been sealed. it's been in the middle of a combat zone. and so anything really could have happened to the evidence that they find on the ground. the israeli military says it will launch its own investigation. the united nations also calling for a full report, anderson. >> are there not bomb shelters in gaza city at all? why hasn't hamas built any bomb shelters? >> well, i think first of all, hamas' militant faction, if the

do i think that with attorney general's holders' comments you pointed out in an interview with karl rove. he did say i don't think this is a a major element. it is a step further to say in an interview setting like holder was sitting in. he was asked a question i believe sexism exists in this country. i think i'm the luckiest woman alive. i say a lot of sexism hurts a lot of women. i happen to be on the lucky end of this. so misses the opportunity to do so much whether i can do stuff for women or he can do something for african-americans and he looks petty someone out there doesn't like me because i'm a woman. >> so don't like me because because i'm on fox. some because i'm on cnn. >> not a major element why people don't like me. >> i think it would be naive to say there aren't people who dislike eric holder and president obama because of race. but i think that for attorney general holder, i then the problem for him is that it is not politically savvy. it seems like rather than kind of addressing criticism head on he is blaming it on race. and even if that's not his intention, it's somet

i do think it will be an issue certainly to get the base out of republicans who are frustrated and as karlove says wants a check on the president. susan? >> i agree with that. i think if you would have asked me a few weeks ago i would say i'm not sure how far this will go but the missing eemails and look at public perception. people care about this. this is the irs this isn't some unknown agency that doesn't reflect people's lives. people deal with the irs every year when they file their taxes. there is is a sense of outrage that the public has. the republicans are keenly aware of this. i think they are going to continue to push on this issue until they really feel like no one cares about it anymore. i don't think that's going to happen. >> real quickly before i go, mary, will we ever see lois lerner back in court again. >> i think you might. this is why it is worth noting democrats want it talk about the war on women because they don't want to talk about scandal like the irs. >> this is hitting home with a lot of folks. panel thank you very much. happy 144th. >> happy fourth to you. >> a

karl penhaul in gaza city. i want to again with you, karl. do we have that shot back? sorry. i know where you're standing there have been flares. the fighting has been going on and on. that's why there's been difficulty with the shot. what are you seeing now? >> right now, erin, even if i step just a little bit out of shot, that's the picture. it looks like a big black hole out there tonight. and there's a reason for that. it's because gaza's main and only power plant, in fact, just south of where we are now has been hit. it's been damaged. for much of the day. the diesel storage tanks were on fire. it's out of action. the chief of the power plant says it could be out of action for up to a year. now like so many other incidents in the confrontation, there's controversy over who fired the piece of ammunition who destroyed the storage tanks. the israelis say that was not on our target list. but they say that they are checking into it. to see if it may have been another round, erin. >> karl, in terms of the cease-fire, you talk of a cease-fire where you are. have you been seeing

i believe you. >> the problem for juan is that it not just the right saying. this if you pay attention to everyone saying it. it's john karlabc. >> i don't believe it's just a fanatics. i believe there is a lot of people in the middle who used to like barack obama and approve of him and now don't and this is adding on to their perception here is the thing that concerns me doing a speech in the wake of tragedy. actually somebody he was arguably at one point good at and his specialty as is responding to optics pr issue. he is has decided is he checking out on both of those. >> the one point that juan made that i agree with and i think that's one in six months, juan. >> but i do agree he. >> mark it down is that obama haters is so over the top. something legitimate to criticize which now you have got 30 things that people who support president obama always saying this. >> i think you get that toward the end of two terms of any president. >> i would say that i strive to not feed that problem. juan, last question for you. the president is in trouble. there is no doubt about it i he think that at this point it would be almost im

i want to go back to karl penhaul live from gaza.e and how you are doing. >> reporter: we are five, john, thanks very much for that. as you saw on the picture, when the explosions go off so close, we are ducking down. now, of course, that is surprise if something goes off that big behind your back, it is going to surprise you. we have to duck for safety reasons, because something that goes off that close, that explosion was between 100 and 200 yards from where we are. it can spread shrapnel in a large area and break up bits of concrete and brick and send it at almost ballistic speed. what we have done in this office, we have taken out the windows. when we get shock waves from those explosions, it's not going to send glass flying all over the place. we are taking precautions and we are five. that is, of course, one explosion in a wider offensive that has been going on since last night. that began when we saw illumination rounds in the night sky. it was a moonless night, so they put that up so the drones could check out the targets on

karl rove. is there one elected official that said this? it think of one. >> well, there's several that have intimated. we have to be very careful not to be useful stooges for the president. he wants the conversation in the next 97 days to be about impeachment. he doesn't want it to be about obamacare and the deficit and debt and his overreach on -- his failure to address the border. he doesn't want any of that. he wants this to be about impeachment because independents favor -- >> failed. >> yeah, he failed. independents favor republicans by 11 points. they disapprove of him by 59%. but 63% of them don't want him to be impeached. the conversation about impeachment helps energize his base, turn off independents and more important than anything else pat buchanan put his finger on it, it takes this away from the issues that are going to win for us in november. >> there's a recent poll this week that romney would win by a landslide if the 2012 elections were held today. 55% to 57% don't think he's up for the job. cbs news announced republicans w

. >> i must say, karl, it doesn't look like -- as i said earlier, ways a little more hopeful there would be a cease-fire based on that interview i just conducted with israel's minister of intelligence, yuval steinitz. we'll see what happens in the next hour or two. we'll see what secretary kerry says. we'll get a statement from the israeli prime minister as well. but this fighting may continue, at least for the time being. karl penhaul, being careful in gaza. the high death toll is provoking a strong backlash around the world. muslims are marking the last friday of the ramadan with demonstrations of solidarity with the palestinians of gaza. the marches are likely to grow if the fighting in gaza continues. israeli police have boosted their presence in jerusalem. the jerusalem post reports the officers have been told to expect violence in and around jerusalem. the gaza fighting has sparked some anti-semitic attacks. a soccer game in austria was suddenly interrupted when people with palestinian flags ran to the field and began abeittackin israeli players in austria. the military confirmed o

abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl in washington tonight. and jon, i wanted to take everyone home back to that image, those marines at the ready, word of f-16s in the air, but out of sight, as they evacuated the embassy in tripoli. jon, is this a sign of the post-benghazi era, the swift action, given the increasing danger? >> reporter: it sure is, david. the watch phrase is, no more benghazis. they don't want another situation like that. and when you think about it, this is one of the most heavily fortified u.s. embassies in the world, protected by a large contingent of marines. so, it tells you something about the security situation there, and the level of chaos that they ordered this full-blown evacuation. and you saw that image, of those ospreys waiting in italy to take part in this evacuation. the extraordinary security measures that were taken to ensure that convoy was protected, as it left libya. now, david, the official line is that the embassy will eventually reopen, that this is a temporary measure. but i talked to a lot of people about this,

i don't know how they found them, he testified. karl. >> well, it's actually worse than that because he made that statement and then did not proactively come forward and say i found new information. in fact, what happened is last a week ways and means investigators interviewed the deputy council at the irs, thomas cain. and he said we think we now found them and we think they now exist, that information was released on monday. there's been no attempt by commissioner koskinen to come up to congress since his mistaken testimony and correct the record. >> uh-huh. >> it's even worse than you depict. >> so that speaks to the backup tapes of these alleged e-mails. then they ask them specifically about the hard drive, which the irs had earlier told congress that thing is destroyed. no data is recoverable. that's exactly what they told them. they said it in court and they actually said it in july. here's the declaration they filed in court. there was a determination made that it was no longer operational and that no data was able to be recovere

karl? >> there were two strikes. i heard two strikes across there in the distance.wasn't close enough to see the flare up and possibly over our small necktie microphone, you couldn't have heard it, but yes a couple of impacts there, an f-16 coming over pretty low. sometimes they'll swoop over low as a show of force to frighten any militantstant fighters on the ground. generally what they've been doing in the evening is firing off decoy flares as they go because had he clearly fear militant factions may have the sam surface to air missiles. earlier in the evening when one did fly over, we did see some kind of rocket fire going out. it didn't appear to be the long-range ab-hamas rockets. it could have been fire from the ground to try to take those aircraft down. you'd need a lot of technology to bring that down. >> because the israelis have been claiming that some of the killed and wounded in gaza have been individuals killed by hamas's own rockets either misfiring or the launch was botched. have you seen any evidence one way or another? >> in terms of them causing ca

one of the first conversations i had with karl was no, you cannot start with the book at age 30. you have to start with the pain of your childhood including your mother's suicide, your father leaving the home, you finding out later your father wasn't your father, you learning to meet your real father. all of those issues have to be on the page as difficult as they are to talk about because they are part of watt made you you and if this is going to be a biography then it needs to include that. and he told me later that often times when he gets stopped by readers they bring up the childhood stuff because they have had experiences like his. and i can that is one way you make a personality who seems to be on stage more accessible to others >> because of your background as a journalist do you work on a lot of non-fiction political books? >> yes, i only do non-fiction and some of the books are not so much political as they are journalism. a book on the meet racket and the industry of meat. >> how big is simon and scheuster? >> we have 2 million books worldwide but if you say had averag

karl rove. >> it's like a john grisham novel. i don't think it's an impeachable offense. charles would know more. >> 97 days out from the mid-terms. how would any immigration action this summer affect his party this november. our election predictions when "the five" ret >>> less than 100 days to 2014 mid-terms and republicans have some reason for optimism. most election models give them the edge to take the senate and republicans are more interested in this election over democrats by 14 points. despite the high hopes veteran campaign strategist karl rove offered some warnings on how democrats will attempt to break this wave. >> the democrats have four advantages. incumbency. money. raising more money than the national republican senatorial committee. democrats are focused on their ground game. they are attempting to bring out in the 2014 election people who voted in 2012 and 2008 but didn't vote in 2010 and finally, you know, look in every election you have television ads that stretch the truth. i have never seen the democrat advertising like this this year. >> let me go
