After four children are killed, and diplomatic efforts to end the bloodshed hit a roadblock. Here are the latest develoments on this middle east crisis. Sirens wail as a rocket from gaza is fired into israel. Our cnn crew captured these images of the countrys iron dome Missile Defense system intercepted the rocket. Israel says more than 1,260 rockets have been launched from gaza since this conflict erupted a week or so ago. In gaza, meanwhile, palestinian pe paramedics say four children were killed from a round by an israeli gunship. Saying the number of People Killed is now over 200, most of the them civilians. One israeli has died. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas travelled to egypt today, searching for a way to end the violence. But hamas officials are refusing to participate in ceasefire talks. The Senior Leader says hamas is not going to cairo and wont discussion the egyptian proposal. Its hard to imagine the tension both the palestinians and israelis are living under
these sorts of cases are not on entirely uncommon. this is what i would call a business libel or defamation case. pipe companies bring this towards competitors who maybe denigrate their pipes. what is so unusual here is the fact that the defendant is obviously a major network station. that does not really alter the proof very much. defamation cases where the plaintiff is a public figure, then there is a much heightened standard for proof, but here would dominion needs to establish is that there were some false statements made about their business that they actually reached out to fox and to the defendants, and they asked them to take it back and they failed to do so. that is the prerequisite to to bring this sort of a lawsuit. that means a trial, so it s a proof that they have to offer is that the statements were false, perhaps that they were knowingly false. that certainly amped up the proof and then talk about the damage that was done to them.

right? it gets more television programming, it gets more sports programming. at least that s what it wants. it wants leverage with the pipe companies or the distributors that are coming together themselves. and getting more powerful. so from fox s standpoint, the more content it can get, the more leverage it has. of course, time warner has rejected this offer. here ceo, jeff buickis, on another reason they turned down fox. the board concluded, continuing to execute our strategic plans and business plans, will create significantly more value for the company and our shareholders, and that that s superior to any proposal that fox is in a position to off. to offer. reporter: now what s also interesting here, wolf, there would be obviously some antitrust regulatory concerns about two major media organizations like this coming together. so as part of the proposed offer, last month, fox actually
