in harrington, delaware, and they knew immediately this was a dead end. >> as soon as i saw richard mitchellknew he was not our guy. he had a full beard. and the suspect we're looking for was clean shaven. >> furthermore, mitchell's palmprints didn't match the print from the crime scene. he also had an alibi. >> as it turned out, he was not our man. >> back at the crime scene, investigators found another clue, blood on the light switch in the victim's living room was not the victim's blood. presumably, it belonged to the killer. >> he could have cut his hand on the door when he broke the glass to reach in to unlock the door to get into the house. >> a sample of the blood was sent to the fbi's forensic lab which confirmed it didn't belong to the victim's son, charles, or any of the other suspects in the case. >> certainly, it is a frustrating situation when you know you have good evidence and you just can't match it up. >> it was very frustrating. you have a lot of anger, you have so many questions. >> despite his denials, suspicions remained that charles holden might have had something to do

joining me is richard engel from gaza and andrea mitchell. we can't do better than you two. chard, how far will the idf go in getting control of the weapons system and reducing the danger from hamas? >> it appears that israel does not intend to come into the center of built-up palestinian area. we are now right now in gaza city. this is the biggest city in gaza. it is a densely populated area. there are no israeli troops here. instead we are hearing israeli drones in the sky. we have been hear ing impacts, explosions, air strikes on the port area and in the distance. most of the operation at this stage is focused on a very small sliver, a band of territory around the gaza strip specifically the border areas between gaza and israel because israel said it is focusing this ground assault on the tunnels that hamas has been digging and has used in the past to infiltrate into israel, to sneak up on israeli towns, to capture or kidnap israeli soldiers. as far as we understand this is not an attempt to take over the gaza strip. not an attempt to go through cities like this very dense

. >> we conclude with a look at baseball, with senator george mitchell, peter gammons and richard sandomir. >> i have worried for a long time one of the reasons baseball is in so much trouble attracting a younger audience is it clings to the barnacles of the past but look at this season and we see the two great cuban players, plea, we see tanaka come over from japan, the two best players in baseball both under 25 years, carlos of the martins and mike trout of the angels, barely 25, 26 years old. this generation of young players i think is, has attracted not only a younger audience but a very diverse audience. >> hunt: conversation about nigeria and libya, politics and baseball when we return. >> funding for charlie rose is provided by the >> there's a saying around here: you stand behind what you say. around here, we don't make excuses, we make commitments. and when you can't live up to them, you own up and make it right. some people think the kind of accountability that thrives on so many streets in this country has gone missing in the places where it's needed most. but i know you'll stil

mitchell. thanks, andrea. appreciate it. >>> lots ahead including nbc's richard engel joining us live from the middle of the war zone in gaza. it's a big day in a bad way. stay with us. >>> on the morning of 9/11, the morning of 9/11, a photojournalist named todd mizel was taking pictures near the base of the twin towers after the planes just hit. he only barely escaped with his own life that day. while he was still there desperately taking pictures of the scene, he looked over at one point and saw a human hand on the pavement. no arm, no person, just a hand. don't worry, i'm not going to show you that picture. but years later, todd wrote about it. he said "there were body parts and luggage scattered on the ground. a human hand pointed at me on the pavement." and, again, no, we will not show you that picture, but they did run that picture in a local paper in new york city and ran it once on 9/12 on the morning after the attacks. as far as we can tell, that photo was never published again. in news, editors and producers choose which images to show and how many times to show them. if ever. some photos are just to

mitchell, who rescue the game with his 2007 report on drug use. and "the new york times" richardandomir. i am pleased to have them. welcome. let me start with peter. the 2014kes you about season? what are you looking for? >> what strikes me is the buzz of the young players in baseball. i've worried for a long time one of the reason baseball was in trouble attracting the younger audience is it clings to the barnacles of the past. when we look at this season, we seethe gilded players, we tanaka, were from japan. john carlos of the marlins, mike this of the angels, generation of young players is attracting not only a younger audience through a diverse audience, and effect of the game it's okayng that -- to love playing. me most.hat struck it carries over into the all-star game those people performing. >> what strikes me is the competitive balance that has been achieved. it was 15 years ago that the commissioner seal approached me and others to create a compassion -- commission on the competitive aspect of sports. degree of a competition has been increasing. you have the fact that ri

richard, thanks very much. joining me now bobby ghosh and of course my colleague joining me again, andrea mitchell, nbc news chieforeign affairs correspondent. andrea, let's go to this. yesterday there was an assumption that things would get violent, even if it was going to be right before a temporary cease-fire or a truce because israel usually wants to try to set hamas back militarily, but this is not that. this is something more. >> this is israel pressure internally on netanyahu who was the one resisting taking more aggressive action. >> i had somebody describe to me this is local politics for him. he felt like he had to do this for his own politics. >> exactly. the rocket fire coming from gaza, even though from an international perspective the asymmetry of the death toll is so dramatic. 260 some palestinian deaths now and 2 israelis, that one soldier last night and the previous casualty. but that said, serinternally in israel people are living in bomb shelters and sustaining relentless rocket fire. israel doesn't have a handle as they used to when they had better ground troops so their feeling is they have t
