Itself. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says while hes sorry for the loss of life, it is unavoidable, claiming hamas is using cities as human shields. Carl goss has more. Theres been no letup this morning. Weve watching the goz sa skyline as we see pluming coming up, israeli bombs explode on targets below. We see the vapor trails in the air as hamas and Islamic Jihad militants fire off rockets towards israel. Lets bring you up to speed with the developments. Breaking this morning, an aerial drone from gaza infiltrated israel and was shot down by a patriot missile. Across gaza the conflict quickly escalating. Israeli air strikes hit three Training Facilities and buildings of hamas military wing. Thousands who live on the gaza strip now fleeing. Including hundreds of palestinian americans rushing to get out. It was really scary. I wasnt used to it, especially since i live in america. Reporter over the weekend the Israeli Military confirms boots in the ground with its commandos raiding a missile site. Wolf blitzer was told theyre possibly preparing for more robust Ground Invasion as israeli air strikes continue to take a powerful toll inside gaza. We have brought up forces and there is a substantial forces on the border with gaza. If the order is given, we are prepared for that type of activity. Reporter on sunday Palestinian Protesters clashed with Israeli Soldiers in the west bank throwing stones and shooting fireworks. According to the palestinians, over a thousand have been injured and nearly 200 killed in air strikes. The u. N. Estimates 70 are civilians. On saturday an air strike demolished the house of gazas chief of police. Along with his family, 18 people were killed. Israeli Prime Minister netanyahu says hamas is deliberately putting civilians in the line of fire. Here is the difference between us, were using Missile Defense to protect our civilians, and theyre using civilians to protect their missiles. Reporter Israeli Military is continuing to drop leaf lets telling civilians to flee from their homes. That can be a sign that theyre preparing for a Ground Invasion. Essentially there is nowhere for the gazans to run to. The entire strip is about the size of metropolitan las vegas and detroit and the borders are sealed. The only place they can run is a little further south to seek shelter in schools or to seek shelter with other family members. Back to you, chris. Karl, a very important point. These people are leaving but where will they go. Turning to michael orrin, cnn middle east analyst and former ambassador to the United States. Michael, thank you very much for joining us. I know youve had to take to the safe room in your home because of the uptick in violence there. How are you doing . Reporter im doing fine, chris, thank you. Good morning, kate and michaela. Coming to you from the border with gaza, the most shelled and rocketed city in israel, more shells than probably any city in the world. Its a symbol of every fear, the entire country could become like center wrote. Firing as far north as hyphae, but also a symbol for israeli courage, for sticking to our guns and not being chased away. It is harrowing, and while the Palestinian Civilians have suffered significant casualties on their side, on the israeli side you have casualties you dont see, the trauma, the fear, the disruptions of daily life. I live in tel aviv and weve been under shell fire every day. What are we hearing behind you right now, michael . That is a very loud generator, chris, not a siren. Okay. Good. The latest bombing. People have become too comfortable with dynamic of israel responding to what it says are unchecked attacks from the palestinians, from gaza specifically. You say, however, while it looks bad, there may be opportunity here. Where do you see opportunity . Reporter well, in many crises there are opportunities. I dont think anybody certainly on the israeli side, i think i can speak for the United States, too, wants to go back to the status quo ante where hamas is able to use, say, a ceasefire to increase the size and range of its rocket arsenal. This could be an opportunity to change the status quo and for the better i think for the benefit of israelis, palestinians and everybody in the region if in addition to the ceasefire you take the precedent that president obama used so successfully in removing chemical weapons from syria, get american inspectors into gaza to remove the long range missiles, israel could ease the maritime blockade of the gaza strip. There could be International Aid for the citizens of gaza, not just to repair war damage but relieve the terrible economic depression that has been reigning there because of hamas misrule and mismanagement. You can use that opportunity even to strengthen the palestinian authority, the moderate palestinians by taking palestinian policemen trained by the United States and put them at the border crossings perhaps even between gaza and egypt. Its not a perfect situation but its better than what went before and it could be a framework for moving ahead on the piece process. While those are sound ideas and i appreciate you for offering them up, but first when you look at syria as a model, not only do we have a high degree of deception by syrian authorities with what theyre telling us versus what is found by inspectors, but the mass exodus, as you well know, one of the biggest movements of humanity in recent history fleeing from syria right now with very little chance of finding a home anywhere nearby, youre going to have the same problem in gaza as we were hearing karl penhaul tell us, how do you deal with getting good information from hamas, how do you deal with the mass exodus of people . Reporter well, in syria the case is theres huge fighting going on there, as many as 200,000 People Killed there. So people are fleeing hundreds of thousands of people, actually millions fleeing the fighting. If the fighting ends in gaza, the residents of gaza can go back to their home. That is what happened in previous rounds of fighting between israel and hamas in 2012 and in 2008 and 9, there were exoduses of Palestinian Civilians from their homes, they came back after a ceasefire. That would be the goal here, too, to restore calm, but also not to go back to that old status quo where every two years you have a round of fighting, but to create a new and more stable background. I think this crisis perhaps offers that type of opportunity. A big political question will be does the u. S. Have the strength to broker peace the way it has in the past, no longer having egypt with morsi as a friendly to intervene in the situation, will al sissy be able to have the same effect. Michael, lets end on Something Else here. To the yunltd states audience, they see strong israel killing civilians in gaza. We most often see the human toll on the palestinian side. What do you offer as perspective as to who is being attacked here and what is continuing the cycle of violence . Well, just quickly to your point about egypt, this is a great opportunity for egypt, too. Theres been a strained relationship between the sissi government about the way the egyptians came to power, whether it was a military quecoupe or n. As for your second point, chris, this is a country 067. 5 Million People. All of a sudden youre hit by what is now over 1,000 rockets over the course of a week. You can imagine if hundreds literally hundreds of millions of americans, nearly 200 million americans under shell fire, the people of the United States would expect their government to do something about it and do something about it very forcefully, even if there werent a large number of casualties. Israelis, you can the average israeli on the street, they wont apologize for the fact they havent had more civilians killed. Theyve invested heavy in Civil Defense and iron dome on the palestinian side. On the hamas side, theyve invested only in those capabilities. Thats why theres a higher level of casualties on the palestinian side. So theres a disparity, its going to cause a Public Diplomacy challenge for israel. Better to have the Public Diplomacy challenge than to have hundreds of casualties, including fatalities. Michael, youre making the point we heard from beebee netanyahu, were using missiles to defend our citizens, theyre using citizens to defend therapy missiles. Michael oren, thank you very much. Please stay safe. Well check back with you. Thank you, have a good day. Michaela, over to you. Lets get a look at more headlines. Army Sergeant Bowe bergdahl is returning to life as an active duty u.

You know were getting into this in the bleacher report. Oh, you know. And hes got something to say. Now what . Weve got world cup hangover. Thats my biggest disappointment that its just over. Now what . Now well have to come up with Something Else to watch. Back to the reruns. Lets talk weather though. Expert bizarre weather to hit the country this week. We are serious. It is bizarre. It will affect millions of americans. Midwest will see unusually low temperatures this week. Northeast and mid atlantic, theyre dealing with severe thunderstorms and heavy rain and the most magical place on earth, not immune to weather woes, it appears. People stuck on the monorail at disneys epcot. George has more. The stormy weather, we can expect that. It is july in chicago. Cool earl weather, it might be time to pull out the scarfs, you may need it. The next several days, temperatures 10 to 20 degrees cooler. For us the story is Severe Weather and a lot of rain. Flash flooding over the weekend in suburban chicago turned residential streets into impassable rivers. This driver tried to cross it. But then look. Moments later he and his son had to be rescued after the car got stuck. So much rain fell so quickly. It flooded basements and overwhelmed the sewer system. It came down so fast, the water couldnt keep up. Our sewers couldnt keep up with the water we had. Everything backed up on us. Two to four inches fell in northern illinois. Four the six inches soaked communities down state. More rain is in the forecast. In florida, the weather caused a chaotic scene at the happiest place on earth. About 120 passengers had to be evacuate friday the monorail at disney world after a power outage caused it to stop in its tracks, trapping passengers 30 feet in the air. Witnesses say they saw a few bolts of lightning nearby. Disney officials blame bad weather for the power outage. In colorado lightning strikes from passing storms made for dangerous conditions in high attitudes of Rocky Mountain national park. I felt like something hit me in the head. I lost my vision and hearing for a solid ten seconds. Officials say two people died as a result of lightning strikes in as many days. 13 others were injured. Looking ahead at the forecast, many parts of the country are in store for the feeling of fall and whats normally the warmest time of the year. Unseasonably cooler temperatures are expected as the jet stream dips down farther south than usual, dropping normal summer temperatures, some 10 to 20 degrees, though in places like wisconsin, people are all taking it in stride. After the winter we had i think 60 degrees still feels rather tropical. I disagree with her. Here in chicago we dont really have summer days to spare. We get about three months of good, warm weather. We need them. But okay, so were getting cool weather on the way. Chris, where you are in new york along the east coast, we understand there will be a lot of rain and the threat of Severe Weather. Keep watch of the weather. Be careful. Appreciate that. That is a stunning jacket you have on, george howell. Thank you for bringing that to our viewers. He appreciates a compliment. He likes his sar torl prowess being called out. Lets get to meteorologist Jennifer Grey in for indra petersons. Only good news. Its monday, never forget. Thats right. You will have good news. While its cold in the mornings, the afternoons still warming up to the upper 60s to low 70s. Its really going to be a refreshing change for the middle of july. Those temperatures are going to dip down. We will be in the mid 40s in marquette the next couple mornings. It doesnt like like were breaking records. But we are running 10 to 15 degrees below normal. Lets look at the High Temperatures because we will be getting up to around 71 degrees in chicago tuesday and wednesday afternoons. That is 15 degrees below normal. Look at marquette, 60 degrees, your High Temperature on tuesday. 59 for a High Temperature on monday in the middle of july. Just crazy weather going on. Well also be dealing with some Severe Weather. Its going to go along with this. Thats going to be pushing into the northeast. D. C. , philly, new york. You all can see large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. Also that rain threat is going to be there. We coupled see anywhere from one to three inches of rain, possibly two to three in new york and boston, guys. Im going stick with your line.

Xfinity presents the peoples hotlist where you choose this summers top 100 shows and movies. And all you have to do is watch with xfinity on demand. Now through july 23rd. Vote welcome back to new day. What will congress do concerning the border crisis . The president has called on congress to approve 3. 7 billion in emergency funding to deal with the tens of thousands of children who have crossed the border in resented months. But with democrats and republicans dug in on the core issues, a solution seems anything but clear. Lets bring in kevin madden, cnn political commentator and dan res trep poe, former adviser to president obama on latin american affairs. A lot to go over. A lot happened over the weekend. At least a lot of fighting over the issue, not a lot of action. Listen here real quick, guys, to two lawmakers who seem just as dug in as ever. Seems like were going nowhere fast. Listen to this. There has to be a halt to this. Thats what we want and the best way to do that is for planeloads of these young people to be returning the the country of origin. We cant have an unending flow of children from Central America into our country. I say we are the strongest, wealthiest, most powerful nation in the world and children are coming to our borders. We should protect them. I will say this, follow the law, and the law said we must put the childrens interests first, which is what president barack obama is doing. From the sunday shows, kevin, it doesnt sound Like Congress is any closer to figuring out what they want do do, at least what they want do do first and theyre running out of time. A couple more weeks until the august recess. Are they going to leave without doing anything about this . Unfortunately, with the way things are on capitol hill, nothing is a certainty. You heard from both the left and right, both saying we have a crisis on the border and we need to act. Unfortunately we have a president who has very bad relations with capitol hill. He has duelling constituencies up there and in many cases telling them two different things. There are a lot of facts that want to help send resources to help solve this problem down on the border, but the white house is really going to have to work to mend a lot of fences up on capitol hill if they want to get that done. In an Election Year, there are a lot of republicans and democrats who dont necessarily want to be seen as just throwing money at the problem. So in order to get this done, i think the president is also going to have to make some concessions on border enforcement if hes going to get this done before they leave town. Dan restrepo, where is the humanity . People want to argue law. They should also remember it was president bush that signed this victim protection act that makes it difficult to repatriot kids. How did kids get lost in politics. Theres, chris, humanity here in making sure these kids dont start on this journey in the first place. Thats part of managing this. This is an incredibly dangerous journey folks are embarking upon. Part of the way you stop that or slow this down is the folks that dont are the right to be in the United States, they get sent home as expeditiously as possible so you get the signal to the system, you get the signal to folks in northern and Central America that there isnt an advantage of heading along this perilous journey. There is humanity all along the debate. It gets lost in the immigration politics in washington. Of that 2008 law that has become one element of this core issue, there are a couple of lawmakers coming out now saying that president obama does not need congress to move ahead and change this. Mike rogers of michigan, Dianne Feinstein who originally helped write this law. They say he can change regulation. He does not need congressional action to be able to change how children are dealt with within this system. Do you think thats possible . Its not clear to me if thats possible. Even a regulatory change would take time. I think a legislative change which the administration is trying to work with congress on is probably the fastest way to get to a place where the folks on the ground have more discretion, has more flexibility. Very few people are talking about repealing the law outright. Its how you apply the law and whether you can apply it more on the ground rather than in an Immigration Court which are completely overwhelmed. Theres two ways to speed the process up. The administration is trying to do both, get more flexibility on the application of the law and inject more resources into an Immigration Court system that is completely overwhelmed. You need to do both of those things if youre going to be able to, again, reach the dimmer switch. Theres no onoff switch on this. You can only change the gradations of this and get it back to a more manageable situation. We want to talk about what happened with holder here over the weekend, also. Let me bang on this one more time with you, kevin. We all know its hard to secure the border. Theres nothing new there. This money thats being thrown at it, it is being thrown because we dont have the right fix. Its a question of how much, not whether or not people come here. But can you cite me another example before you have had a flood of child humanity come into the United States and that be ignored in favor of an argument over how they got here . Well, i guess i think probably the most recent example might have been the boat lifts where cuban immigrants were coming in the early 80s. I think that was a crisis of a different time and of a different nature. Not all these crises are exactly the same. But i think the thing that is really holding this up, again, chris, is with the president s lack of relationships up on capitol hill. I am, of course, a partisan republican. If you listen to a lot of democrats, they have an extraordinary level of frustration that the president saw that this problem was something that many people tried to warn them about. You had democrats and republicans as early as march of 2012 kevin, were also hearing it from governors. The governors met over the weekend and theyre divided largely along partisan lines. Is there a role for governors here or are they going to have to be left dealing with it. I dont think the concerns that many of those governors have on the border states, i dont think theyre partisan. Yes, theyre republican. Many of the concerns theyve had are of substance. These are problems they were pointing out to the administration. If you remember, governor perry himself as early as may 2012 sent the letter to the administration warning them of this impending problem with folks coming to the border from Central America. The president was late to react. That is not a judgment of just republicans. Many democrats including luis gutierrez, Henry Cuellar said that as well. They arent even going to visit the kids. The president was down there. Whats the nice political word, kerfuffle that he went to texas and didnt visit the kids. They havent even gone down to see them. I think its one of the most naked abuses of politics ive seen in terms of saying something is important, but not eastern going and dealing with it. Some of them are trying to. Thats right. Kate points out, there were reports of republicans who wanted to go to one of the detention facilities and was barred by dhs from going there. It would have been important to highlight some of the problems down there if the president had seen them for himself. He chose not to. Instead, he chose to raise money for his political allies. Youre not fighting your way in to see the kids . Its because you dont want to. Well save that for another day. Lets switch topics. Kate, set this up for us. The attorney general did an interview with abc news on sunday. He spoke about race before, but he spoke about it in terms of candid terms we havent heard before, really suggesting that maybe the republicans especially how republicans are looking at the president , that there is race as part of this. Listen to a little bit of what he said to pierre thomas. There is a certain level of vee mens directed at me, directed at the president. Theres a certain racial component to this for some people. I dont think this is a main driver, but for some theres a racial animus. What do you make of it, dan . What do you make of what eric holder is pointing out . One is, he thinks only a portion of the animus directed towards him and the president has a basis in race. I think the important thing about eric holder and his role in the National Conversation about race, hes unafraid of talking about race. Thats important. He has raised and he has been a controversial figure as a result of raising racial issues throughout the administration. He hasnd shied away from it. At the same time i think its important to remember what he actually said which is that this is a motivation for some portion, not all of the opposition, that the president and the attorney general facing. Kevin, quick last word . I would agree, yes, racism does exist. To equate any opposition to the president that is substantive as being about race is unhelpful. Lets remember, president obama when he was first elected was at 70 approval rating. Hes now in the 40s and in many places only the high 30s, not because of his race but because people think hes taking the country in the wrong direction and has advanced the wrong policies. Key word is substantive. Kevin and dan, thank you very much. Important conversation to have. Youll be hearing about the attorney generals words all day long. Lets take a quick break on new day. When we come back, terrifying ride over the pacific. A plane diverted to a Remote Island on reports of a weird smell. Its like a movie. Now new questions. Should it have ever taken off . Well take you through it. A dramatic and terrifying scene in turkey. A pregnant woman forced to jump from a burning building. The crowd below scrambling to try to help break her fall.

Israel says more than 130 rockets were fired in its drx sunday. Netanyahu is claiming that hamas is urging people to remain in the line of fire. The death toll in gaza is over 170. Secretary of state john kerry is in vienna for talks on Irans Nuclear program, offering to ease sanctions on iran if it reduces its Nuclear Enrichment program. Iran wants to expand the program saying the program is for energy, not weapons. A fire on the Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center left six people burned sunday night including a child. The injuries were from embers that fell from a burning camera. The little one was taken to the hospital for treatment of burns. The five adults refused medical treatment at the scene. No cause has been given for the fire. I have to show this terrifying video. A pregnant woman forced to escape a fiery escape by jumping out of a window in turkey. A crowd below attempts to hold out a sheet of card bored. The woman was taken to the hospital and is said to be in good condition.

German ] it was the germans taking it home they brought it home. If you were one of those, oh, the u. S. Is out if youre one of those types, a billion people watched germany beat argentina. Andy scholes has more on this mornings bleacher report. This is one for the books. True . Certainly was. This was an absolute nail biter. We didnt get to see a lot of goals, but plenty of drama. Both teams have plenty of opportunities to score. 66 minutes, messi had a great run, but his shot pushed just right. He couldnt believe it. We would go all the way to extra time. Seven minutes away from penalty kicks. In the 113th minutes, mario goetze comes through with an amazing goal for germany. The 22yearold takes it off the chest and drills it home. A National Hero as germany claims the world cup. What do you do after winning the world cup . You take a bunch of selfies. Im sure that was a keeper. German soccer legend and mens soccer head coach klinsmann tweeted yes, yes, yes, yogi, you did it, huge compliment to argentina but the best team won the 2014 world cup. If we learned anything from this world cup, its what the worst haircut in the world looks like. Argentinas Rodrigo Pell Las i donts hair looks like this, at one point, hash tag rat tail was trending on twitter. Then some genius came up with these names, spiderman taking a swing from his hair. How about tarzan . Then of course we have miley cyrus on a wrecking ball. I dont know what ill miss the most, the great play on the field. Luis suarez biting things. Was there something behind that haircut . We know there was good meaning behind some of them. Rinaldo, it was a fan he was supporting. Ive heard nothing good about this haircut, kate. Maybe there is, but ive heard nothing good about it. That is something to take in. Here is my big takeaway, it shows how good the u. S. Team was that germany won. Strong. I take that. Thats true. Same score, same score. Thats all im saying. Michaela is still working on what were going to watch now. Coming up next on new day, they thought their plane was going down. A yund flight forced to land on an island in the pacific because of an electrical odor some passengers smelled before they had even taken off. So why did the plane fly .

New questions surrounding a United Airlines flight from honolulu to guam forced to land on the Remote Island of midway because of a mechanical issue. Passengers aboard say they smelled a Strong Electrical odor in the cabin before the plane even took off and described terrifying moments when they hit turbulence and thought their plane was going down. We were all thinking of people at home and our own little ones we had with us. After the 40foot drop it got really silent in dab bin. People prayed. We all prayed. I prayed. Joining me is cnn safety analyst and former safety souci. We hear about passengers sitting on the tarmac for several hours. Should this plane even have taken off . Its hard for me to say because i wasnt there obviously. I tell you what, its really difficult for me to understand why an aircraft that had that significant of a smell, that much smoke actually a haze called ozone actually in the cabin and not be able to replicate that and have the mechanic fix that problem is very qubl in my mind. Add to the fact that they sat on the tarmac for some three hours looking into the problem. Does that sound as though they knew there was something they needed to investigate . Obviously there was something very serious going on. The mechanic must have tried and tried to replicate it but wasnt able to replicate the problem and, therefore, returned it to Service Rather than saying i know its a serious problem and accepting that i cant find it right now, so maybe we need to bring in another aircraft and delay this flight even longer. A lot of pressure on those mechanics to get the aircraft back in service. Im not secondguessing the mechanics, but sometimes these problems are intermittent and its difficult to identify them. When you try to replicate them, they dont happen. Let me ask you about this electrical smell. What could that have been caused by in your expertise . The electrical smell is often described as electrical smell, but its actually ozone, three milligrams of oxygen, its o 3 rath ir than o 2. Extended exposure can be harmful to your lungs, your mouth. It can make you very irritated. Its caused by arcing. A lightning bolt would create ozone, any kind of arcing. This fan that failed has brushes in it that make it a motor. As the brushes move or if theres a short internally, those sparks actually cause the ozone smell. Something significant was going wrong in that motor for it to produce that much ozone. Again, i know you werent there and werent involved in the investigation. At first blush, do you think any safety regulations were violated here or they didnt follow proper protocol . I suspect that they followed the protocol, but here is where the rub is, that this incident isnt even required to be reported to the ntsb or the faa because it didnt get to the level of which it was a safety hazard. Thats a definition thats within ntsb 803 riles. That tells you exactly what noods to be reported oopsz. This incident didnt need to be reported which is concerning to me. How could you follow a trend . How could you see if this is something thats occurred several times within the whole fleet. The airlines are very good attracting their particular maintenance failures. When you look at it as a systemic area as far as sharing information between other airlines to see if theyre experiencing the same problem, thats really difficult to occur because of the barriers to information sharing that are in the system. Let me wrap up with unites comment. They say the mechanical issue was due to problem with an equipment supply cooling fan which they say has been corrected and the aircraft was put back to service on saturday.

Friends who initially defended Justin Ross Harris are now painting a very different picture of the man, one even calling him a monster. Are they reacting off insight or to the facts of the situation like the rest of us . Joining us now, attorney and radio host mo ivory and criminal defense attorney page pate. First thing to discuss, lianna harris, the mother involved. She now has an attorney. Theres been some curiosity about her, things that she reacted to, things that she said specifically, what she said when she found out cooper, the child, wasnt in day care and her comments at the eulogy. I want your take. First start with this, mo, why would somebody hire a lawyer to be a mouthpiece to the media instead of hiring a pr person . You think this is always a wrong move for people . No. The lawyer could certainly also be working with a pr person that works inside of the law firm. The pr person may not be the face of when they meet up with the news or make statements. Its an important thing for her to be represented. Everybody has the right to have representation, innocent or guilty. I think it was a smart move for her to get representation and to put a buffer between her and the media and have somebody who is more skilled at handling obviously what is going to continue to be a barrage of people asking her questions. Rightly so, page. Few sixes fall into the this makes no sense category more than this one does. Somewhat your take, assuming its accurate, what the mother said when the Day Care Center told her the son wasnt there, what the mother said during the eulogy. What is her take on that . All of the statements create a lot of suspicion about her involvement and whether or not she knew what her husband was doing. I think it is a good idea for her to have legal representation. I know her lawyer personally, but i dont think its because of the court of public opinion. I think they are focusing more on the potential legal ramifications of what she has done. I think she wanted a lawyer to at least start a discussion with the District Attorneys Office and to make sure if shes going to be charged, they figure that out early and try to work something out. I think thats a possibility. As you heard in my intro, they can just be learning new information so theyre reacting to it as the rest of us are. But character evidence. Start with the attorneys take on this, page. What do you think character evidence will mean here . Its never helpful that people say youre a bad person. How important is it here . Chris, i think it is incredibly important for the defense to have good character witnesses in this case. What they have to do is say, look, the history of ross harris, the people that know ross harris, his background, would never suggest he would do anything like this. If you dont have those character witnesses at trial, then i think its going to be a tough case to defend. What ive been concerned about is all of the onesided information thats getting out there in the media. The defense has not stepped up and given a theory of defense, tried to explain some of the evidence, and as a result theyre starting to lose some of their potential character witnesses. Mo, as we all know, often a good attorney saves it for a courtroom, especially on the defense side. It doesnt help to try things in the media, especially with juries in the past. When we rank the factors, going to pages point about character, i would rank them this way. You forgot your kid, you return to the car. You have an insurance policy on the kid. You were web searching suffocation and then you have the sexting. I put it last. Its least jermaine to me about this whole alternative life theory. How do you see the components of what matters here . I mean obviously the prosecution has already and they havent necessarily revealed everything either. So they have definitely made a strong case that there was definitely a plan to kill this child, to live a parentfree lifestyle. I do think all those factors will be very important. Like page said, it will be equally important for character witnesses for the prosecution to come forward to paint a picture of the father that nobody really knew which is what were getting a glimpse of. Theyre going through hundreds and hundreds of searches hes done. Weve only heard about some of the searches. They say theres a lot more stuff that we dont know. The character witnesses will be equally as important to making sure hes convicted as they will be to trying to set forth a case that he is a loving father. Strong point, mo. Let me finish with you on this, page. Of all the things the mother has reportedly said so far, do you think saying to harris in jail, do you think you said too much, is that the statement that bothers you the most . Chris, it is. When i first heard that, i thought that was going to be something that was difficult not just for leanna harris, but also for her husband, because it suggests they both knew this was going to happen or at least suggests that the state needs to be focusing in on what she knew, when she knew it and how she can prove it. It did concern me. Page, mo, thank you very much. Well be following this closely. Everybody wants to know what happened here. Thats one of the stories were following. A lot of news this morning. Lets get right to it. The conflict quickly escalating. This is more dangerous, i think, than at any time in the past. Were using Missile Defense to protect our civilians, theyre using their civilians to protect the missiles. To those contemplating coming here illegally, we will send you back. It is a problem of monumental humanitarian impact. In a maneuver hailed as one of the greatest engineering feats in maritime history. Shooting suspect curtis reeves, junior is out of jail. At the end of loong journey, were here. Hes free. Good morning and welcome back to new day. Where do you draw the line between a nations selfdefense and the loss of civilian life . That is a big question this morning surrounding whats happening in israel. Israel says it has to launch targeted air strikes against Populated Areas of gaza because thats where hamas is hiding its missiles. This morning hundreds of civilian there is are heeding israeli warnings to abandon their homes ahead of a fresh round of strikes. Still the death toll in gaza is climbing, now more than 1070 People Killed. Still hundreds of rockets being fired towards israel. Joining us from near the israeligaza border is wolf blitzer, the anchor of cnns situation room. Youve been there since last week and seen it firsthand. What does it look like on the ground to you . Reporter pretty tense still today. Theres no doubt that israelis are on alert. We drove down towards the gaza border; near a border crossing. Some palestinians and others are getting out of gaza. We wanted to see what was going on. As we got closer and closer, kate, there was an Israeli Military checkpoint. They stopped us there. They said theres something going on. We had no idea what they were referring to. We stopped. We were waiting inside our vehicle and all of a sudden we heard this. No pictures. Just shoot me. We dont know whats going on. Did we get the all clear . I know. Im sorry. Were here on the border between israel and gaza. There was a rocket that just came in from gaza. We heard it not that long ago. It was a real moment because all of a sudden we were at this area that had been sealed off and the Israeli Military was not letting us go any further. They say it was sealed off. We were waiting for permission to go through this checkpoint. We hadnt received the permission yet. We heard all of a sudden the rocket explode. Then we saw something really unusual. We saw Israeli Soldiers ducking for cover. We ducked for cover as well. A young israeli woman soldier clearly was traumatized. She fell to the ground and started to cry. You dont often see that. Later she told me its been really, really hard, especially on these young, 18, 19yearold soldiers who come here to the bore dr and hear these rockets going off. Its obviously much harder on the palestinian side where israel continues its air strikes and commando raids as well. We know of one, but were also told others are in the works right now. They dropped the leaflets over the one north gaza town, bet la hee yeah. Israelis are warning everyone to get out. A lot of people did get out but a lot of people are staying there. Everyone along the border is bracing for israeli attacks on this area where they say so many of the rocketing coming in to israel are launched. Still an extremely tense situation, kate. You were talking to officials throughout the weekend. Any indication every day brings another barrage of rockets from both sides. What to expect today, especially with the leaflets being dropped. Really it seems that hopes of a ceasefire or talks of a ceasefire really seem to be diminishing. What are you hearing . Reporter i know theres a lot of effort behind the scenes. The u. S. Involved, the europeans, the u. N. , egypt, qatar, turkey, saudi arabia, palestinian authority. I dont see, at least i havent heard of any dramatic progress yet. It would be good if the ceasefire rockets stopped coming in to israel from gaza, they stop launching strikes against the various targets in gaza. Unfortunately i dont see that happening. I suspect this will play out for a few more days. It would be great if there was a ceasefire. I dont see it happening yet. Do you get a sense they want to see more u. S. Involvement in this or what more the u. S. Can do here . Reporter well, there are limits to what the u. S. Can do on the one hand, the u. S. Has good relations with israel. On the other hand, they have no relations with hamas on the other side. The u. S. Doesnt talk to hamas because its considered a terrorist organization by the u. S. Government. Theres a limit to what the u. S. Can do. What the u. S. Has been doing, secretary of state john kerry and others talking to egypt, talking to the palestinian authority, talking to these other third parties who do have contacts with ham 345s, trying to get the rockets and missiles to stop coming into israel and to try to convince the israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet to stop launching strikes against hamas. My own sense is the israelis want to try to destroy as much of hamass military capability as they can over the next few days before they go ahead with the ceasefire. But in the meantime, of course, a lot of palestinians in gaza are suffering and that death toll goes up. To that point, wolf, set the scene for viewers, what you have behind you where you are. Reporter im at this Police Station in stair wrote, an israeli town not far away from gaza. What theyve done is collected a bunch of hamas rockets that have come into this specific area, display a lot of these rockets, all sorts of rockets. These are rockets that mostly landed in some open areas, as they say, facial land, didnt cause a lot of damage by any means. These are rockets that were not intercepted by the iron dome, the anti missile system. But for the israelis who live here, there are a lot of them who do, every time the rockets go in, the sirens go off. Since theyre so close to gaza, they only have about 15 seconds to run some sort of shelter. If we heard that siren, wed hear about 15 seconds to go to some sort of shelter. The rockets just come in and the folks here are pretty taum tiesed. Ive been here before. Its a sat sad situation to see whats going on right now. As i say, this is a town by the way, kate, and youll remember this, that president obama came to when he was running for office back in 2008, visited israel, came to stair wrote. Many speeches hes delivered since then hes referred to what he saw here when he met with israelis, many since that time routinely sleep in their bunkers, these safe rooms as they call them because theyre so scared that the rockets will come in. Relatively quiet between the end of 2012. But now its heated up pretty dramatically. Its one thing to talk about the back and forth between israel and hamas, but another thing to see the rockets there behind you, wolf, and to talk to people on the ground and the civilians caught in the middle of it all on both sides. Wolf blitzer, great to see you, thank you so much. Wolf has been there before, always does amazing reporting. Wolf will be anchoring from the border, live there for you 1 00 p. M. Eastern and of course the situation room starting at 5 00 p. M. Eastern on cnn. Back at home, another pressing concern, the immigration issue now has a face. A face, tens of thousands of childrens faces. Theyre trapped in the border in conditions we do not know enough about. All of Congress Agrees the situation demands action but they have so pardon nothing. Today Congress Gets another chance. Theyre going to take up the president s request for nearly 4 billion in emergency funding to deal with the problem. The question is what will they do with that request. Meantime, Homeland Security says theyre going to deginn deportations this week. Lets get down to the white house, cnns Michelle Kosinski has the latest. Reporter this is go time for congress. Deciding whether or not to approve this nearly 4 billion that the president has requested. So we have both democrats and republicans saying its of critical importance but there are still differences in what they say are the root causes, the issues around it and how to solve it. The republicans have wanted more Border Security and fault the president s plan for not including a bigger piece of that. Here is senator john mccain. The fact is that we cannot have an unending stream of children, whether it be from Central America or anybody else, to come into our country with all the strains and pressures that is put on our capabilities. Its not acceptable. Every nation has the requirement to secure its borders. Our borders are not secure, no matter what they say. Reporter the president s plan does include a significant chunk, about 1. 5 billion for Border Security and enforcement. And the administration has said, look, this really isnt even a Border Security issue at this point because many of the children arriving are looking for Border Agents so they can turn themselves in and then begin the now lengthy Legal Process of trying to stay in america. Theyve also pointed out that over all the number of people trying to cross the border is at near historic lows. The spike has just been in these enormous numbers of unaccompanied children trying to get here. Chris . Michelle, thank you very much, appreciate the perspective. The question is what can the white house do to get congress to act. We will stay on it. A lot of other news. Right to mic with that. Here are your headlines. Millions of us will have to deal with pretty bizarre weather to start our week. The midwest seeing unusually low temperatures while the northeast and mid atlantic are dealing with severe thunderstorms and heavy rain. Disneys epcot center not immune to weatherrelated problems. People were stock on the monorail there for about 90 minutes sunday because of a power outage. 120 people had to be evacuated. Parliament is at an impasse after it failed to make progress on choosing leaders in an effort to form a new government. Lawmakers suspended the session until tuesday after they failed to vote for a new speaker, a move that would start the clock for choosing a president and Prime Minister, all this as sunni militants continue to gain more ground in their march towards bagdad. In a daring operation workers and divers completed the delicate operation of refloating the wrecked cruise ship Costa Concordia. Its been 2 1 2 years since that ship ran aground, capsizing and killing 32 people on board. It is now being towed to its home port where it will be scrapped. A mysterious odor led to the evacuation of about 50 homes in pennsylvania. Emergency crews detected high levels of volatile organic compounds in several homes near philadelphia. The red cross shelter has been set up now for evacuees. The epa and other agencies are working to determine the source of those fumes. Quite an unsettling weekend in oklahoma, seven earthquakes reported over the last two days, the largest registered a magnitude of 4. 3. Theres been a huge spike in earthquakes reported in the state. This year alone 207 quakes with 3. 0 magnitude or higher. The state averaged just two per year in 1978 to 2008. No official reason for the spike, but many suggest hydro fracking could be one of the causes. Those are your headlines. 12 minutes past the hour. Thank you so much, michaela. Its money time, folks. The department of justice has been coming down hard on lenders responsible for the financial crisis and getting big payoffs where Jpmorgan Chase paid a record breaking 13 billion. Another big bank facing the reckoning of the mortgage crisis. Poply harlow has more. This just getting confirmed. Talking about citigroup, a multi billion dollar payout coming from them. A source telling us they are going to announce this with the Justice Department in a little while. This settles charges that citi packaged bad mortgages knowingly during the runup to the huge financial crisis. Citi and the department of justice have been haggling for months over the amount of the settlement. Citi offered 4 billion as much as june. This is much higher, a 7 billion deal. The department of justice threatened to sue, but somehow they came to an agreement. No lawsuit here. Where does the money go . That is what matters. 4 billion to the department of justice, 2. 5 billion homeowner relief, mortgage modifications through citi. 500 million is going to go to the fdic and also states attorney generals. You know this means theyre not going to be any lawsuits Going Forward in terms of these Mortgage Backed securities deals. Its a big payout they didnt want to pay at first. But it will protect them from some of the lawsuits. 7 billion, these are big penalties, this deal is one of the biggest, right . But its not even near what jpmorgan paid. Lets take a look. Jpmorgan paying a record, that was in november, that was 13 billion. 11. 8 billion from bank of america, 1. 25 from morgan stanley. Important things to note here, bank of america is still haggling with the department of justice over another mortgagerelated settlement, in the billions of dollars. Were told the lawyers on both sides are nowhere near a deal. You look at this like a lawyer. You look at it from the banks perspective and you think this saves us from the lawsuits. Its also a big Public Relations fight on the part of the department of justice, so many people saying these banks havent been held accountable. You remember that person who committed the crime and didnt have to go to jail, they just paid the fine . No, you dont. It doesnt happen. What people are pissed about here, these banks committed crimes and theyre paying their way out of it. Nobody has gone to jail, for admitted crimes and theyre paying their way through it. Where do you think the money comes from to pay it . They can afford it. It comes from their customers. Fees, et cetera. Weve seen those fees being raised. This protects them from civil lawsuits. It doesnt protect them from criminal suits. Poppy, thank you so much. A lot to talk about with that ahead today. Also this, coming up next on new day, is Bowe Bergdahl ready to go back on duty after five years in captivity . Hes been in therapy. Is it too soon, though . What other concerns does it raise .

New this morning, army Sergeant Bowe bergdahl could return to active duty as early as today. The man held by the taliban for five years and accused by his brothers at arms of desertion is expected to reenter life in the military after a recent round of therapy and counseling. Lets get to pentagon correspondent barbara starr. This is some quick turn, isnt it . Good morning, chris. What they found in the military, each of these captives are able to return society ace basically, more relaxed, more able to cope, all on different time frames. Its been about six weeks for Bowe Bergdahl. My pentagon sources are telling me as soon as later today we expect an announcement that he, too, has finished this he integration phase, recovery, counseling, therapy and will rejoin the active duty military. The word is he will likely, likely rejoin a unit somewhere in texas where he has been undergoing therapy because logically that puts him close to the medical team thats been helping treat him if he runs into additional trouble. One of the most interesting things perhaps, though, now that hes completed this therapy phase of his treatment, it will allow the army to have its investigating officer sit down, talk to him and in a more formal sense ask him questions about his disappearance in 2009 from his base in afghanistan. How did he disappear . What happened . Did he walk away deliberately for the first time in over five years to get Bowe Bergdahls side of the story, then the army will decide how to proceed, whether he has any legal liability in what happened. Kate . Barbara starr at the pentagon, thank you so much. Now lets turn to a bizarre and fascinating story out of china. The countrys most popular tv anchor detained.

Israel is dropping leaflets warning residents to abandon hamas facilities. More than 130 rockets were fired in its direction sunday.

With me Madison Square garden real tall len of bloomberg, todd swill lick of takeaway. Why does Elizabeth Warren have such standing in the Democratic Party . Shes from massachusetts. You can argue shes more liberal than barack obama. Yet she was in kentucky campaigning for alison grimes. Today in West Virginia. Michael duke cac kiss won way back in the day john kerry lost it, barack obama lost it twice. Why does Elizabeth Warren have appeal to democrats in red states . Youre saying why does she wear the pants. Badoopboom. As we get closer to november, she may not always be the person turning out for the candidate. Right now shes a respected figure figure, fresh new ideas. Is it a test run for the Democratic Party post obama . Hillary clinton is the heir apparent at the moment. Somebody will challenge her. Elizabeth warren says it wont be here. Even Elizabeth Warren has said in the past shes too wall street, too establishment. What Elizabeth Warren has is enormous populist appeal in the Democratic Party. Shes stood up against the banks, a big proponent of refinancing student loans, a woman candidate like hillary. She can go into West Virginia against mitch mcconnell. Shes got enormous credibility and in states that arent doing so well quickly, that populist anti wall street appeal cuts against a lot of democrats including hillary and someone like Elizabeth Warren has tons of credibility on the issue. Fundraising is the most important. As we said last week when she was in kentucky, she seems to like this. Thats the part im learning about Elizabeth Warren. Will she continue to say no to 2016 . I assume so. Crowds go nuts for her. Its hard to turn down. West virginia, a tough state for the democrats this year. Well watch this one play out. Lets move on to the question of impeachment. Some republicans called for the president s impeachment, most recently during the border crisis. Among them formal Vice President ial candidate and governor sarah palin who says the president should be impeached because of his mishandling of the border issue. Eric holder doesnt seem to think much of sarah palins legal views. She wasnt a particularly good Vice President ial candidate. Shes an even worse judge of who ought to be impeached and why. What makes this delicious from a political standpoint is the president s attorney general thinks the president should not be impeached, hes a democrat and doesnt think much of sarah palin. What it forces when sarah palin comes out like this, now you have the conservative, bob good lat forced on television to agree with eric holder. We are not working on or drawing up articles of impeachment. The constitution is very clear as to what constitutes grounds for impeachment on the part of the president of the United States. He has not committed the kind of criminal acts that call for that. Most republicans who still hold office, they understand sarah palins role. She can be important to the base but they dont like when she says impeach the president. No, they dont. But fundraisers on the democratic side love it. John boehner says this isnt about impeachment. He has a lawsuit brewing against barack obama which in this context you can look at as a steve valve, hoping that will let off steam for republicans on the light. Sarah palin has made it clear her steam has not let off. Democrats love the impeachment talk. It fits into their characterization of republicans as captive of the extreme right of their party, that they have a stranglehold on john boehner and john goodlat and mitch mcdonnell. The senate would never approve it. We know its not going anywhere. Lots and lots of people want to believe this is the best you can do. So the democrats raise money off of it. They think it helps them. They dont mind this debate either, the democrats, because it continues to fissure the republican party. This is a freebie for the democrats and also not what the sort of core of the republican power structure in Congress Wants because they dont want president obama to be seen as someone who is being scapegoated or victimized. Thatd want him to be the bad guy, the one messing up Foreign Policy and letting children across the border or whatever. This takes them off message on this narrative. One of the fascinating debates as we move toward the 2016 president ial campaign is the Foreign Policy debate within the party. A guy who gets hit a lot by the establishment is rand paul, the freshman statutory from kentucky, son of ron paul. Rand paul says im not my dad. He gets mad when people criticize him, including op ed in politico. Rand paul starts with a reference to perrys new glasses. They say they havent altered his perception of the world. He says rick perry is mischaracterizing him when he says he doesnt care about iraq. He says i support our assistance to the government of iraq which includes armaments and intelligence. I support using advanced technology to prevent i. S. I. S. From becoming a threat. Rand paul doesnt mind getting back here, but his argument is that his Foreign Policy is a lot more nuanced than his dads and republicans are essentially trying to push him in that corner. Hes saying dont call me an isolationist. Rick perry is doing rand paul a favor by very early in this stage forcing him to figure out how to frame or reframe the way hes perceived in the party. Of course, john mccain is going to criticize rand paul as isolationist. What perry is doing is forcing paul to rebrand himself. Interesting as it plays out. Rand paul has had private meetings with republican establishment members. Rick perry in 2012 said it was a mistake to take troops out of iraq. Hes changed, too, because i think he realizes rand paul may be more in tuned regarding troops. The idea that im for opening up the gates and sending multiple numbers of american troops back into harms way is a bit of a stretch. Bit of a shift there, too, from governor perry. He criticizes rand paul for not being muscular enough, my term, it seems hes backing away from the idea that you actually put more boots on the ground. For republicans, i think the shadow of the neo con looms over this entire debate. Rand paul doesnt suffer from being beneath that shat shadow. Shes trying to assure republicans and republicanbased voters hes not a isolationist republican. With dick cheney and his daughter going out on television to criticize the president , bringing back in the public consciousness, extraordinary unpopular, the iraq war extraordinarily unpop. Rick perry, john mccain and other republicans live under that shadow in the publics mind. Its easier for ran paul to articulate policy. When rick perry talks about iraq, he has this shadow behind him. Fascinating debate. Well watch it play out. This will take us right into the 2016 primaries.

Find new roads at your local chevy dealer. Welcome back. An update to a story weve been following since january. The man charged with murdering a fellow movie goer just because he was texting is now out on bail. Curtis reeves is the man accused of shooting chad oulson. Oulsons widow was there when it happened. She was shot through the hand by the same bullet that killed her husband. Well hear from her attorney in a moment. We want you to take a look back and remember the story. Reporter this morning shooting suspect curtis reeves, junior, is out of jail, back at his florida home on bail. The 71yearold faces a Second Degree murder charge. And these charges are with firearms. Reporter after shooting and killing 43yearold chad oulson in january at this Wesley Chapel Movie Theater, a now notorious fight over texting. Witnesses say reeves, a retired tampa police captain, was irritated that oulson was texting the babysitter watching his then 2yearold daughter. The voices start going up and then, bang, he was shot. Reporter the father and son say they watched in horror as reeves allegedly killed oulson with a 38 caliber handgun. He said, man, i cant believe i got shot. Blood started coming out of his mouth. I just held him. Reporter part of the fight caught on surveillance camera. It was played at reeves february hearing and appears to show reeves on the right in a fight with oulson who is off camera. Oulson throws popcorn at reeves. Then reeves draws a gun. The judge initially denied bail in february. On friday evening he reversed his position, adopting the Appeals Court ruling saying in part the record suggests no special circumstances that would justify a decision to deny pretrial release. With his client out on 150,000 bond, reeves defense attorney maintains his client acted in selfdefense. At the end of a long journey were here, hes free. He is where he should be. The merits of the case are going to take second to humanity, especially today. Lets bring in t. J. Grimaldi, the attorney for nicole oulson, the widow of the victim, chad oulson. As i said, t. J. , the law fairly clear. Well get to that in a second. First, what does this mean to her client, that the man who killed her husband the bullet bent through her hand as well, hes now free. How is she taking it . Shes absolutely devastated, chris. Its beyond explanation, to be honest with you. She went from having to deal with this, realizeding shes a single mother, having to do everything that the husband helped out with, the loving father helped out with, put her daughter to bed. It would have been one thing if it happened all at once, meaning went from the charges to letting out. Because shes had the relief of knowing that hes behind bars, its been more than difficult. Now, difficult task for you in explaining this to your client is, can you really be surprised by this ruling . Were all aware, the criteria for denying bail is pretty limited. It was actually a little surprising, other than continuing threat, that they held this man in the first place. No . I completely agree with what you said. Its legally its one thing. Its not completely surprising he could get out, the burden to keep someone behind bars without bail is high, especially given the fact that hes older. Hes been in the community for so long. But from a personal standpoint, knowing her family was ripped apart and that her daughter cannot see her husband anymore for absolutely nothing that he did or nothing that he could have done in the sense that this man escalated it for no reason is why its so difficult to understand and comprehend, especially for her at this point. Maybe as counsel, you give some solace by suggesting that you dont want this man to experience anything unfair in the process because it may prejudice the rest of the proceedings Going Forward. Obviously you want it to be the straightest prosecution you can get. What do you make as a lawyer of the defense theory here that there was selfdefense involved . Well, that dreaded word or those dreaded phrase of stand your ground is always looming in the background. They said no at the hearing that they werent going to bring it. It could be a ploy. What do you think . Stand your ground . I think theyre trying to stay away from the phrase but at the same time i think they have nothing else. They keep suggesting defense, selfdefense, selfdefense, without saying the three dreaded words. I think thats what it is. Other than him being in fear of supposedly popcorn, i cant imagine what they could possibly be suggesting otherwise to get him off of this charge. Even the video weve seen clips of, obviously theyll have more when they try to produce at trial, after the popcorn is thrown, is there anything that transpires that i dont know about that suggests a continued force by the victim . No. Youve seen the video. Everyone has seen the video. In fact, there is a delay in time between when the popcorn hits him and when reeves decides to shoot him. In my opinion, that says he thought about it and then he decided to pull the gun. If you want to talk about facts, its come out during witness testimony that his wife specifically said im going to paraphrase the quote there was no reason to shoot that man. That came out of his own wifes mouth. 71 years old. Police captain, s. W. A. T. Team official. These are high qualifications for someone who should know when to use a firearm. How do you think it plays into the defense . I think it hurts the defense tremendously. If theres anyone out there that should be able to understand when a situation needs to be escalated, versus when a situation needs to be deescalated, its an individual with his training. He was s. W. A. T. Team as you indicated, also in charge of an entire security i cant begin to understand how thats going to help him out im going to let you go, t. J. , thank you for the perspective. Another development, the transcripts from jail, the suspect being very clear, he believes hell be acquitted, just as clear, your client says no plea deal is acceptable here. You want to see justice carried out. Well continue covering this story accordingly. Please send sympathies home. Thank you for joining us. Will do, thanks for having me. All right. Kate .

Find new roads at your local chevy dealer. Back with us on new day. A new test for Alzheimer Disease could be on the horizon. New studies suggest one day doctors could detect alzheimers using a smell test or eye exam. Senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen is here with more. Good morning. We know that memories and smells can trigger memories, how is it being used, smell that, rather, how is it being used to test for alzheimers . This is really fascinating. It turns out smell and memory are controlled from the same area of the brain. So researchers said, gee, i wonder if maybe smell problems show up first . They took healthy volunteers, and they tested their sense of smell and the folks who had trouble distinguishing different smells, well, they were much more likely to get alzheimers later in life. So the smell or lack thereof, the lack of the ability to smell really did a great job at predicting who would get alzheimers. Interesting indicator. How about the eye test . What can the eye testing show us . With alzheimers in the brain you get plaques and tangles, you can see them when you do an autopsy on someone. When they looked in the eye, they saw some of the same plaques and tangles. So, again, able to predict not 100 , but with a great deal of accuracy who would get alzheimers based on what their eyes looked like. We know the tests exist. What is the possibility of them being incorporated into testing when we go into a Doctors Office . How soon will it be . I think it is going to be years, but i do think that it is very possible that one of these tests will be available from your doctor, also a blood test for alzheimers that theyre doing research on. It is the big question will be do you want it . I think the technology is there. It will happen. Do you want to know when youre, lets say, 45, that youre you have a high risk of getting alzheimers when youre another moral dilemma for us to think about. Maybe in my 70s i might want to know. Not in my 40s. Elizabeth cohen, really interesting developments for us. Thank you for joining us. Chris . One more reason that you dont want to get old. Right . Thats true.

Your new day continues right now. Good morning. Welcome once again to new day. It is monday, july 14th, 8 00 in the east. Israels military and hamas militants both bearing down for what could be a long battle in the middle east. Hundreds now fleeing their homes in gaza where air strikes have killed more than 170 people. Israel says the strikes are needed to stop Hamas Terror Group after years of rocket fire. And this morning, israel says it shot down the hamas drone flying near the israeli coast. Cnn cannot confirm the authenticity of the video. This as more than 130 rockets were fired at israel sunday, sending citizens running for shelter. Joining us now from near the israeli gaza border is wolf blitzer, anchor of cnns situation room. Good to have you. Good to see youre safe. I call you the team captain, without dating you, you have extensive experience in the region. You worked for the local paper in jerusalem. You worked for reuters. And with that experience, how does what is happening now size up to you for what youve seen in the past . Well, obviously there is a full scale war, whether 73 war or the wars of lebanon, it is a lot more brutal, but this is bad. Clearly a lot of civilians are in danger. As tough as it is for israelis on this side of the border, im not far from the border, a whole loss worse what is going on in gaza now because it is such a small area and there are so many palestinians concentrated in a small area. And the hamas forces, they keep sending rockets and missiles into israel. The israelis go after where theyre launched but there will be civilian casualties and there have been a lot of civilian casualties. You reported some of the numbers, palestinians have been killed, a lot of palestinians killed, many more injured. There have been israeli injuries, but so far no deaths here in israel. It is a brutal situation. People are scared on both sides, but theyre terrified, a whole lot more in gaza now. As much as the situation is bad, the full scale war is whether a sixday war or 73 war, other wars, theyre a whole loss worse. But im not trying to diminish this by any means. This is an awful situation. Quick question about the violence and then a quick question about the potential for peace. The violence, when people look at the numbers, wolf, it is not good for israel from the they seem to be coming toward a populated area, they have this iron dome antimissile system. They launch these countermissiles if you will and they do a pretty good job, the israelis claim, they have 87, 88, almost 90 success rates. If the missiles and rocket goes into an unpopulated area, farm land, open area, they dont bother to send up the iron dome n terms of the casualties, it is lopsided. I was here at the end of 2012 the last time israel and hamas went to war and there were relatively few israeli deaths. There were some, not many, but hundreds of palestinian deaths at the time. That was a lopsided casualty count as well. That just goes with the nature that the israelis are much better in terms of selfdefense. There isnt a whole lot of selfdefense in gaza because the rockets come up, the israelis go after where theyre launched and sometimes launched from heavily Populated Areas. By way of instruction, i want to direct the audience to what is behind you. That is a collection of ordinance that has gone off, right . Right. These are rockets that came in to this area, this is an israeli town not far from the border of gaza. If you look, you can see these are the shells. These are shells that went off, they were not intercepted by that iron dome system. They just went off and they went off in relatively unPopulated Areas in the outskirts, if you will, of the town where i am right now. Every time a rob et comes in, by the way, into this area, since it is so close to gaza, only a few miles away, they only have a limited amount of capability in terms of 15, 20 seconds for people to hear the sirens and then go seek some sort of shelter and if youre further north, further away from gaza, whether tel aviv, might have a minu minute, minute and a half, a little extra time to seek shelter. When youre close to the border as we are right now, it is 15, 20 seconds. The sirens were to go off right now, we would have 15 seconds, 20 seconds to get inside and get into a safer area. Those full shells behind you certainly give some perspective. Youve been reporting there for many years, nobody knows it better. Wolf, please stay safe and remind us of the rest of you are watching the situation, it was wolf who back in the 70s asked the leader of egypt about the possibility of athletes getting to visit again and started a dialogue that many say contributed to a new process for peace. Well see what he reports from the region this time. Be sure to watch him, anchoring from the israel grenada boaza b. Humanitarian crisis in the gaza trip. Lets talk about the situation there. Joining us is yousef banaer of the Jerusalem Fund which raises money to aid the palestinian people. Hes also the executive director of the palestine center. Thank you for coming in and thank you for your time. Sure. Thank you for having me. Lets talk about the situation on the ground. Every day brings another barrage of rockets, one side to the other. Also know leaflets being dropped by israel in northern gaza, alerting citizens to alerting residents to get out, to seek shelter. Also hearing that hamas is urging the same residents to remain at home. Why is that . Lets keep in mind that the context at play here, you have to remember the gaza strip is a very small territory that is teeming with people. It is extremely densely populated area and the reason for that is because the vast majority of people there are refugees from towns and villages inside of israel where they had homes razed to the ground. That refugee crisis that is a human rights crisis, not just humanitarian crisis, plays into the ongoing humanitarian crisis that we see today and have seen for several decades. And so there is a tremendous trauma among the population of gaza and having already experienced depopulation, the destruction of your homes. And so you can understand why so many of them are absolutely terrified at the prospect of becoming refugees once again. This is the context in which the deeper Historical Context in which this bombardment is happening. But with all of this context, why then if israel is trying to alert citizens and civilians there that they need to get out to keep them safe, why is hamas telling them to stay at home . Unfortunately we have seen on many occasions in the past where palestinians have complied with all different kinds of messages from the Israeli Military and still have been bombarded in what was supposed to be safe areas, most notoriously perhaps was the event in the israeli operation cast led in 2008, 2009, where they bombed a school filled with refugees, a United Nations school filled with refugees and killed scores of people there. So there really is no safe place in the gaza strip. There is no refuge for people in the gaza strip. Places throughout the territory are being bombed. They the israelis are not permitting palestinians to exit through the crossing in the north, only passport holders of foreign nations are allowed to exit through the border in the south. So people are literally trapped inside this large open air prison and being told to effectively move to a different corner of the prison cell. Thats really not in benefit of protecting civilians in any way. Israeli Prime Minister pointed out, he also kind of suggests that hamas is trapping them in this open air prison as well as you just said. Theyre accusing hamas of deliberately putting civilians in the line of fire. The Prime Minister saying this, and this really stuck with me, we, the Prime Minister saying, were using Missile Defense to protect our civilians and theyre using civilians to protect their missiles. Are they . Again, youre missing the fundamental point here that you have a what am i missing . Im attempting to explain to you, you have a massive statebacked military against a nonstate actor, operating within what is a civilian population because they simply do not have a statebacked army. You cannot, as the israelis do, deny a people statehood for years and years on end and then wonder why they do not resist as a state. It is simply not going to happen that way. Doesnt happen in any similar context like this. So i think, you know, the talking points that the israelis put forward is the rhetoric, you know, maybe catchy for sound bites and so on, but there is also another reality here and thats that the israelis are using their weapons to perpetuate an occupation and a siege in the gaza strip for decades now, where as palestinians, some of them, are using weapons to resist that. Any talk of ceasefire seems to be slipping further and further away. What do you think will change that realistically at this point . I think there needs to be intervention from the International Community and particularly the United States, which has some leverage over the israelis. Few players do. And thats really the important part here. You know, the United States has offered to facilitate a ceasefire, but more are needs to be done, offering facilitation is not enough. It is important that the United States demand the ceasefire because the reality is, look, the israelis went in multiple times with all kinds of force and were unable to change the military dynamic. There is no military solution to this. Knowing that, and engaging in a war in which civilian casualties are inevitable is truly poor decisionmaking and in fact is criminal. And civilian casualties continue to mount with every passing day. Thank you so much for your time. Thanks for being part of the discussion. Thank you. Of course. Chris . Back here at home, weather creating a lot of trouble. Some people dealing with a weird mix this week. The midwest is going to see unusually low temperatures in some places. Could get into the 30s while the northeast and midatlantic will face severe thunderstorms. Meanwhile, even the happiest place on earth was not immune to the less than happy conditions. People stuck on the Walt Disney World monorail for an hour and a half because of a power outage. Can you imagine that on vacation. George howell has more from storm weary chicago. What do you have to tell us . Chris, good morning. So, yeah, we have seen storms here in chicago. And, look, it is july. And were talking about cooler temperatures on the way. It is kind of depressing it look at that. The big picture, though, has been a lot of Severe Weather, storms in the area, and a lot of rain. Flash flooding over the weekend in suburban chicago turned residential streets in impassable rivers. This driver tried to cross it. But then look moments later he and his son had to be rescued after the car got stuck. So much rain fell so quickly, it flooded basements and overwhelmed the sewer system in burbank, illinois. Came down so fast, and we just couldnt, the water couldnt keep up, our sewer pipes couldnt keep up with the water we had. So everything just backed up on us. Reporter 2 to 4 inches of rainfall fell in northern illinois, 4 to 6 inches soaked communities downstate, and more rain is in the forecast. In florida, the weather caused a chaotic scene at the happiest place on earth, about 120 passengers had to be evacuated from the monorail at disney world after a power outage caused it to stop in its tracks, trapping passengers 30 feet in the air. Witnesses say they saw a few bolts of lightning nearby. Disney officials blame bad weather for the power outage. Then, in colorado, lightning strikes from passing storms made for dangerous conditions in the high altitudes of Rocky Mountain national park. We didnt see the bolt, just a white flash. Felt like something hit me in the head and i lost my vision and hearing for a solid ten seconds. Reporter officiales say two people died as a result of lightning strikes in as many days. 13 others were injured. And looking ahead at the forecast, many parts of the country are in store for the feeling of fall and what is normally the warmest time of the year. Unseasonably cooler temperatures are expected as the jet stream dips down further south than usual, dropping normal summer temperatures, some 10 to 20 degrees, though in places like wisconsin, people are all taking it in stride. After the winter we had, 60 degrees feels tropical. So, look, if youre in the midwest, get ready, cooler temperatures ahead, grab the scarf, you may need it. Here is the other thing on the east coast, that threat of Severe Weather definitely something to keep an eye on. Mark, we see you, 47 degrees. We send you warm hugs if youre watching from marquette this week. Army Sergeant Bowe bergdahl could return as early as today.

Listen to this, kids are being warehoused on the border in conditions that we arent allowed to access as freely as we should. Wouldnt that usually inspire a massive aid mission . Well, not when theyre undocumented kids. Then theyre just a sign of a problem. And as troubling as that is, the bigger concern is what will congress do about this problem that theyre all shouting about . A 3. 7 billion package is on the table from the president , the question is will they accept it, will they come up with Something Else, will they just talk . Lets bring in rubin navarette, cnn contributor and columnist for the daily beast. Appreciate having you here on new day. The situation is painfully obvious. Do you think this gets accepted or do politics force some further iteration . There is a lot of politics. Politics is changing the view of folks on this issue, clouds their thinking. This is a humanitarian crisis. I dont think the republicans have the nerve to kill this package. I think theyre going to accept the package. They want to get rid of this, what part of the package is for. They also want to i dont think they have the nerve to stand up and say that they dont want these kids treated well on u. S. Soil, which is what the rest of the package will do. One thing im wondering is youve got kind of got eye lot of conflicting parts of this. At its core, you look at the politicians who are examining this, secure the border, put more resources there, or get these kids processed through this system faster. Does one of those have to happen before the other can . Can they not happen in conjunction . In politics, they want to do it first, secure the border first and then deal with the humanitarian issues. It doesnt work that way. They both have to happen at the same time. I think at the end youll have a compromise, youll have the funding for the president and theyll come forward and try to alleviate the situation. The kids are suffering right now. That is going to change that . In the end theyll reach a compromise, it sounds like theyre no closer to moving first, they say the president can move first as well. They cant do it. Thats the problem here. The two issues you outlined, securing the border and deporting them, neither can be done. You cannot secure the border to anyones satisfaction. They have done that. We have put ive spent weeks on the border showing how we secured it, it is not secure. Forget that. Forget that as an answer. It is, well, send them back fast. You cant find out where theyre from or who is there for them . That problem being ignored. Thats what we saw with the governor in nebraska, they sent me the kids, didnt tell me where theyre from, they dont know where theyre from. There is a tendency to oversimplify the issue on both sides. We should keep them all and whoever comes next and folks say we have to deport them all. The more rational point of view, treat them as refugees, dont let them get sucked into this endless immigration debate. Focus on this, treat them as refugees, hear their cases, and see who can stay and who has to go back. But take politics out of it as much as you can. Dare i ask why is it theyre not seen as refugees . Because we have a tendency to think of anybody that comes across the border uninvited is an immigrant and illegal immigrant. They are coming from war torn places, lives threatened, sexually assaulted, threatened with war, families threatened to be killed, so of course theyre refugees. Give them a hearing. And thats not a brace, by the way. The law passed in 2008, bipartisan law, bush signed it, but the democrats pushed very heavily for it, it calls for an asylum hearing. It is part of the law that these kids were being trafficked, thats what the law was designed for, not this specifically, they get a hearing. Were not even hearing about that here. This is an Election Year in 2014, in november. A lot of democrats in congress are nervous about this, they feel if people are allowed to stay, it will create more turmoil in the community. In an Election Year there are Political Considerations and unfortunately the humanitarian issues are taking a back seat to that. I thought it was interesting, the column over the weekend, you believe there could be real political fallout for the president in not visiting the border. Some said it is a photoop, why are you telling me thats what presidency is about in some part. You have to do photoopes to show you care. What is the fallout . This will be a big story, coming out. I got a call last week from a prominent latino democrat, he appears on cnn. He called me, he agreed with my column and he thought this was hurting the president , latino democrats in particular, because as a president , we expect you to go to the border to see the crisis firsthand. When you dont go, there is suffering, youre saying i dont want to see it because then you to do something about it. On top of the fact we started talking at the beginning as chris pointed out, the conditions are horrible that theyre being housed in. And the excuse, they wont let us in. Have you ever heard of politicians being kept out of a situation they want to see, if tlael l they really want to see it. They said there are privacy concerns. Some republican members of congress have gone down there and have been turned away and said they could not talk to the kids, could not see the kids and fighting it back and forth. And members of the media. We see the kids, they take away our cell phones. Not allowed in. You want to play the privacy concerns, do it. All ill say is this, ive never seen a situation where politicians wanted access to something and didnt get it. Right. Like this. These are kids who are in bad conditions, we know what the guys in charge of them say were doing as well as we can, but suboptimal. Right. We need a humanitarian push. These kids dont have showers, hygiene, adequate food and housing. The administration is saying the minute we found out about the kids, we jumped in with both feet to help them. Thats not the case. Politics and Election Year is mixing everything up and i think the kids have gotten lost. This crisis started about kids, but now it is about politicians and sound bites. Thats why obama didnt go, the other side is not going, they dont want to be seen with the kids. Then you posed with the kids and what are you going to do about it . Good to see you. Good to see you. Coming up next, wolf blitzer on the ground in israel, just moments ago rockets from gaza targeted the town where he is. Shrapnel falling just feet from him. Hes going to join us live to talk about it and the ongoing situation. vo you know that dream. Where youre the hero . Hey. You guys mind warming this fella up for me .

Get 50 off all new smartphones like the lg g3. Welcome back to new day. This just in to cnn. Moments ago, a rocket launched into israel from gaza, near wolf blitzer and his team who is on the ground, debris raining down just feet from where they were. Wolf was on with us, just a short time ago. Wolf is back with us now from the israel gaza border. Wolf, what happened . Remember last time we spoke, just a little while ago, i was speaking with chris and i pointed out, you really have 15 seconds once the israeli sirens go off to seek some sort of shelter. There was a rocket that came in from gaza and went right towards where we are here, the israeli town near the gaza border. It was intercepted by an iron dome antiMissile Defense system. It went out, you heard a huge, huge boom from the sky. And the rocket coming in, missile, whatever it was, coming in from gaza, was destroyed. Here is the problem, if you dont seek shelter, youre going to have a be in danger because even though the rocket was destroyed in the air, the shrapnel starts coming down very, very quickly to where you are. And right in this area, where im standing right now, all sorts of shrapnel was coming down. These little metal pieces you can see right here, unfortunately, if it hits you, youll be in deep, deep trouble. So thats why the israelis, theyre well trained, they hear the sirens, they have 15 seconds when youre close to the border, 30 seconds further away, a minute if youre in tel aviv, further north. You run you seek cover because even if the iron dome intercepts and destroys that rocket in the sky, the shrapnel is still going to come to the ground and little pieces, if it hits you, potentially that could kill you. Youre seeing it all firsthand, thats for sure. Talking about the threat of it, last time we spoke with you and then see it right away. Wolf, thank you so much, please be safe as we always say. Wolf doing amazing reporting on the ground. You can watch wolf anchoring from the israel gaza border live at 1 00 p. M. Eastern for the situation room starting at 5 00 p. M. Eastern today.

A sixmonth cnn investigation finds sexual predators are beating the system and getting hired at some of americas best known theme parks. Yes, this is a story that is airing tonight on ac 360. Kyra phillips joins us now with a preview of it. Tell us, my friend, what do you see . Well, ill tell you what, we discovered that employees at these famous theme parks, theyre around our children. You have no idea how perverse they r weare. Were talking about men that operate the rides, security guards, pierformers and theyre being arrested for sex crimes against children. I want to be clear that none of these cases involved teenagers or children visiting the parks. However, child advocates tell us this is still a threat. And poke county Sheriff Grady Judd is known for aggressive six stings and thats how we discovered a pattern of theme park arrests. Here is a taste of his passion to takedown these child sex predators. I talked to a number of these men, and they said, it is entrapment. I was totally set up. What else are they going to say . Are they going to get on National News and say, im a pervert . Im a Child Predator . I seek sex with little boys . No, theyre not going to say that. When they tell you that, look them in the eye and say, youre a liar. What you really are is a pervert, a sexual pervert, a Child Predator. Cant put it more strongly than that. He has fire. Fire and passion. No question hes known for it. The question becomes what do you put behind the talk . How can you can you legally keep predators from these jobs . Sure, it is a great question. It is ongoing background checks, intense background checks, and these parks say, look, were doing all of that, were doing that with all our power, but there is still more that can be done. According to grady judd, according to child advocates, and according to lawmakers, and our story is already prompting action on capitol hill and well talk about that tonight on ac 360. Help me with something that will be a source of confusion as people try to make sense. Sure. Were looking at these people, we believe theyre a risk, but were not talking about what they have done at the theme park . Help me distinguish. How do we know theyre a threat then. There are a couple of crimes within our investigation that did happen on the park. And that was downloading of pornography, child pornography. With regard to actually trying to make contact with a child, that didnt happen to any kids or any teenagers on park grounds. However, i mean, the experts tell us that that doesnt matter, it is still a threat, that these guys, they see how far they can get, they try this, they try that, they go a step further, and that is the huge concern for child advocates. You get the combination of somebody with an urge, that they cant control, that they know is going to get them in trouble, you have something very you have very dangerous person. I got to tell you, as a mom, this was eye opening, chris. I got to tell you, as a dad, it doesnt make you smile either. Thats for sure. We dont care about anything the way we care about our kids. Thank you for making this known so people can learn more. Appreciate it. And you will want to learn more, so check out the full investigation, it airs tonight at 8 00 eastern on ac 360, only on cnn.

Theme song for the segment. Welcome back to new day. George clooney taking on a hollywood gossip giant. The daily mail apologized to clooney after publishing an inaccurate story about his fiancees mother that suggested she opposes their upcoming marriage for religious reasons. Clooney refused to accept said apology saying, quote, i thank the mail for its apology, not that i would ever accept it, but because in doing so they have exposed themselves as the worst kind of tabloid, end quote. Joining us now, lloyd grove, editor at the at large of the daily beast and entertainment correspondent nischelle turner. Ladies first, ill start with you, are you surprised hes being so public about it . Hes not public about a lot of things. Not surprised about this because we all have our bully pulpits, right . This is George Clooneys. He does take up certain issues and when he takes them up, he believes in them passionately. I think this is because it wasnt about him, it was about people he loves and also because he said that this was promoting, i mean, religious strife that doesnt need to be. And i think there was a part that really struck him where he said there were jokes about if you married outside the religion it could lead to the death of the bride. And that, i think, hit a nerve with him and he said, no, enough is enough. It is interesting that he chose this route of public shaming rather than litigation or Something Like that. Yeah. Thats what George George is very media savvy and picks his shots. He knows he has a big bully pulpit as you say. And he uses that, you know, for causes like what is going on in southern sudan, and, you know, i talked to him several years ago, he was mad at Arianna Huffington for taking interviews he did and cobbling together into a blog for the Huffington Post without, he says, without his permission. And he got really mad and called me up and said, look, i write all my own stuff, i use my Media Exposure for my ends and i dont let anybody misrepresent me. So hes very careful about that. He just did it with steve wynn, not too long ago. Had his bout with steve wynn, he said steve wynn said something negative about the president and george and him were talking about not just a man with a lot of star power, were talking about the daily mail, still blows my mind, 180 million monthly web viewers. With that comes a lot of power. This is a landmark victory. The worlds most unapologetic rag apologized to the actor on friday. But of course makes you wonder is this a sea change, a new chapter that were going to see or unusual because it is George Clooney. Is this a sea charnge . In a word, no. The daily mail, this is the cost of doing business for them. Angelina jolie, George Clooney, good friend, considering suing them for posting some video of allegedly, you know, when she was on heroin, she denies that. And, you know this is what british tabloids are used to. They get sued all the time. You used a great phrase. I had to look up french. You called it everybodys favorite dark beast. The ultimate truth is theyre fighting a losing battle. The culture moved to an appetite of this stuff that is stronger than the law or any desire to check it. Well, if there is a war between hollywood and the daily mail, i think the daily mail has the upper hand. But people like George Clooney and Angelina Jolie can win some battles. This isnt new. Celebrities do sue the tabloids and do win. Tom cruise won when he sued for 50 million against life and style. Carol burnett had a landmark decision, almost 30 years ago, she sued them and became kind of the person to see this forward. Katie holmes sued. Kate hudson, cameron diaz. And they generally win. They generally win. Particularly in britain where the libel laws favor the complainant. You dont have to show malice. It can be accurate. If it is defaming, you might still have cause. Here you have to show you knew it was wrong, you knew it was false and presented it anyway out of malice. Thats what clooney is saying, why he doesnt accept their apology. He said, when you first reported it, you said they met with high members of the community. Now youre saying it was a family friend. Either you were lying then or youre lying now. Which one is it . I appreciate too hes the son of a newsman. He understands the value of solid reporting and the journalistic ethic, you know what i mean . That to me makes it even have more significance. Clooney is not afraid of reporters. He engages all the time. Absolutely. It is just the bar has just changed. If you look at who made celebrities today, and for what, this would have never been imaginable 20, 30 years ago. You would never see that, wow this person was in a sex tape and it was really horrendous, now they have a perfume. Thats new now. And it skews what is decent, what indecent what is allowed to report on what isnt, what is too far . That may be a function of the technology because you couldnt post a sex tape on the internet 20 years ago and get famous enough to have a perfume. What is successful for celebrities in this love hate relationships, suing them or shaming them . Thats a good question. Shaming sells. If youre suing in britain, you could get a little change out of this. Even most celebrities i dont think i think this shows the star power of George Clooney. I do think that if most everyday celebrities wrote a letter like this, the daily mail would say, please, were not taking that down. But youre right. We appreciate you coming on this monday to talk to us. Thank you. The daily mail banner is up and were all talking about them and at the end of the day, thats good for them. For them, yes.
