the newsroom. underground gas explosions ripped through taiwan's second-largest city. at least 24 killed and 267 injured in the southern city. the blast struck a densely populated area were several petrochemical companies operate pipelines. we have this report from beijing. >> huge explosions in a southern city in taiwan killed 25 people and injured 267. those figures are likely to change. residents have reported huge fireballs leaping into the sky late thursday night. taiwan's premier says at least five explosions rocked the city. nobody knows the cause of the explosions. petrochemical companies had pipelines that went through the city along the sewage system. at the time of the explosion, firefighters were investigating the report of a gas leak. the gas leaking is suspected to be propylene. there is no exact cause we know for sure for these exclusions. four firefighters were reported to have been killed in the explosions. residents are reporting roads split in two, huge craters and caves created by the explosions. bodies covered by debris. they describe mass devastation. a new law imposing restrictions on users of so

reports on the ground certainly confirm that so called green men spotted not too far away from the southern city. indicate that perhaps these are special forces similars to the ones that were instrumental in securing crimea. we should also be careful to generalize and say that this is a full scale russian invasion. if you monitor social media of the separatist, it becomes clear by listening to the accents that a lot of them are ukrainians, in fact. certain russian troops these kind of green men, russian troops at the same time we should not general rise this as russian led. these are supportive elements to an insurgency that is largely native. what do you think they have being sent in for? >> well, i wouldn't say that insurgency is largely native. i think had russia intervenes early on, there would be no insurgency. it is clear that it was fearful of what was happening in kiev, and they didn't trust the new government, but you can see things settling down. before russia starts meddling, but yes, some reenforcements have arrived now from russia. it's well documented that some troops have been sen

the blast ripped through the southern city in the early hours of the morning.ve this report. >> reporter: the explosions ripped through the neighborhood in the city. the strength of the blast was so powerful, it tore up the entire street one kilometer. several other streets are affected as well. it was so powerful, signs on businesses have been blown off. many cars are flipped upside down. now the authorities believe what may have caused the blast is pet row companies have pipelines running under the streets. it was once the center of the industry in taiwan. they believe some chemical leak from the pipeline may have are caused the blast. many residents were shocked by the blast. they were at home at the time. they were blown off their seats. some thought it was an earthquake. others thought it was a bomb. they were the lucky ones. most the dead were people that came outside because they smelled a strong odor. or people passing by on scooters. they were the ones most injured or killed by the blast. the death toll could very well rise. local authorities say 300 h

they have left the southern city and are bound for the border. they could take a few hours to get there and it is a good stretch. there have been surprises on the way and they took a tactical pitstop. nobody expected that. that is what to watch. today, unlike yesterday, they say they will accept the russian-made if the russians allow the ukrainians to inspect what the trucks contained and if the red cross distributes the aid. it looks like a little to progress. we have not heard yet. the ukrainians were saying aggressors the should take the salt with it and the prime minister said that it would be better if russia sent the trucks home in the trucks. a little bit of progress. it is not clear what is going to happen as it gets closer to the story thatthis is a you are going to want to pay attention to. >> we had a subtle change to sanctions against russia. oning a little bit of color what the nuance is about. that is a rule and it was if someone had been sanctioned by the united states own more than 50% of something, it made sense. wase was a compa

. >> reporter: israel launched a furious attack on the southern city of rafah. one israeli military expert speculated it was to block hamas from moving the missing soldier deeper into the gaza strip. israel said that hamas fighters emerged from a tunnel. one was a suicide bomber who blew himself up. in the fighting that followed, the israelis realized a soldier was missing. the israelis believe that second lieutenant hadar goldin was dragged down a tunnel. both sides blame the other for breaching the cease-fire. what it meant was the grim ballet of war barely missed a beat, the wounded flooding the hospitals, the dead following the morgues. an israeli soldier is a huge prize of war, valuable for making a deal. in 2011, one israeli, gilad shalit, was traded for 1,027 palestinian prisoners. shalit had been held captive by hamas for five years. today, there are more than 5,000 palestinians in prison, mostly arrested for anti-israeli activities. since this war began, hamas fighters have stalked israeli soldiers. here in gaza, the news that an israeli soldier was take

american tv, it looked like something that would be demonstrated out of the 1960s in some of the southern cities that would meet -- that would ring that kind of force without bringing communication first. again ferguson lacks in its communications effort for community engagements with the residents that they serve and they lack out of 53 members of a swarn police personnel on their -- sworn police personnel on their department and only three being black and lack in their bringing forth blacks to serve the citizens they work and play in the neighborhoods so the overall response is to be culturally disengaged, to be disengaged totally until the cause happen and then they give an ill effect to the circumstance. >> alik aziz, appreciate your joining us. >> i'm glad to be here thanks so much. >> jonette e.lsey, and jonette what are you seeing tonight? >> kind of almost the same scene yesterday, cars running up and down, a crowd at the quick trip is still peaceful people are just walking hands up don't shoot, and just chanting you know, no justice, no peace, we want justice now for mike brown. and tha
