Last several weeks. The around under repeated shelling, the neighborhood where the embassy is, shelling, violence, rival militias battling it out for control. The government had libya growing increasingly fragile, increasingly unable to control the situation. So this somewhat became inevitable, i suppose. There had been a lot talk about it over the last several days, and they decided finally that the americans really had to get out of the country for a while. The state department is making the point, the embassy is not shut down. They say it is relocated to neighboring countries, that the diplomats will continue to carry on their work, but make no mistake, the complex, the compound, is shuttered and the americans will not be going back until the security situation improves. All righty. Barbara starr, thank you so much. Dig deeper and bring in ed royce, a House Republican from california, chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Congressman, good to have you with us. Good morning. Good to be with you. We have a statement that we received from the state department from secretary kerry, and it calls on those in libya to engage in a political process and come together to avoid the violence there. Do you think this is at a point at which that is the answer . Or is there a military effort that must be taken first . Well, let me explain first of all that i think having removed gadhafi, the administration took its focus off libya and things had been getting worse for some quite considerable time now. We have an Embassy Security bill i had authored we passed out of the house, we trying to get through the process and, again, it would be good to have the administration for engaged on this over on the senate side. I did get briefed last night by a Senior State Department official on this evacuation. I do think they should be much more engaged on the ground with the factions in libya. Ive tried to encourage some of this with the administration, and i think theyre on the right track, but but late into the game in terms of trying to bring factions together and usa u. S. Leverage to try to work this out. I was reading that an official there in libya, and just so people have a good understanding whats going on there, said shells are falling on houses. Children are terrified. Most people have evacuated. Our area is suffering. If they come to the u. S. And say, we need help, whether it be humanitarian, werther it be militarily what do you think the u. S. Is capable of offering . Well, again, what we needed to offer was leadership there in north africa. Bringing neighboring countries together and bringing these factions together. And trying to get them to cooperate with each other and trying to not let nature take its course, but instead, a more robust engagement diplomatically, and i think this is the criticism right now. Its not just in libya, its in many parts of the world, where we are not engaged enough with key decisionmakers on the ground, and with our own Coalition Partners around the world, in order to try to avoid the kind of anarchy thats increasingly coming to areas where we sort of abdicate to be there, leveraging, getting people to the table and to compromise. I just dont see us doing that. Congressman ed royce, thank you for being with us. We want to bring you into the conversation over other major news overseasacy well. Talk about whats happening in gaza ramping of you efforts for a longer lasting ceasefire. A pause between fighting between israel and hamas, that pause is underway and quiet just about three hours left to go with that, but for the first time in days, residents of gaza were able to return to the streets today, were told. Many buildings are just rubble. The death toll reached at least 961. 961. Yeah. Thats after palestinian Officials Say they found at least 40 bodies in buildings that were just too dangerous to enter until the shelling stopped during this pause. Secretary of state john kerry is meeting with other Foreign Ministers in paris to try to get the ceasefire extended, as we said, to now a full week. One man told cnn that he wishes the ceasefire hadnt happened, because then he would never have found out that his home was just a pile of rubble right now. Bring in cnns ian lee, in gaza, and lets start with the situation, what its like there now. This ceasefire, were now nine hours in. Is it holding . Reporter well, victor, it seems to be holding so far right now and as christi said earlier, we are about three hours now until the end of the ceasefire. I went to two of the neighborhoods that were really the front lines of a lot of this fighting, and really sections, areas of these neighborhoods completely destroyed, reduced to rubble and twimsted steel. The people picking through them trying to get whatever effects that he it cake out of thtake o when you saw them going back to the u. N. Shelters, it wasnt photo albums. They were taking clothes, food, and they were taking cooking fuel. Things they could use in the near term. Things to help them keep going day by day. Now, i was going through one of these streets and one thing was just the massive amount of fire power. A huge crater right next to the side of the road that had to have been well over ten feet deep and just to show the massiveness, these 500pound bombs that israel is dropping on some of these neighborhoods. Now, talking to some of the people, they were, like you said, devastated to find out some of their houses were destroyed, and wondering how theyre going to pick back up, but in one neighborhood, we went fairly far towards the front line, about, about 100 meters from israeli tanks, thats according to what our cameraman joe sheffer saw. He saw those tanks, and we were in that neighborhood and all of a sudden had people yell at us. We do not want to see a sole here. We took these were potentially hamas fighters getting ready for the end of the ceasefire that ends in three hours time and its likely, unless theres an extension, that the fighting will pick up again. Ian, thank you so much. Please, stay safe there, to you and your crew as well. Bring back republican congressman ed royce in california. Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee. Youve been following this. On july 11, the house passed resolution expressing support for israel to defend its citizens against hamas. We seeing number, whats happening and know there is support for both sides certainly, but where does congress sit in terms of what to do and how to move forward . Congress itself, for getting, you know, other territories that were trying to negotiate with . We want to see an end to the violence. Want to see a ceasefire and one that holds. One of the concerns is that theres the discovery now of 30 new tunnels that go deep into israel. Three miles into israel. And one of the questions is, can we get an agreement where the Palestinian Authority can get in there and monitor this along with some of the International Community, because what weve found is that those tunnels are being used not only in preparation for kidnapping people from israel. One of them comes up close to a school, but theyre also being used to hide the leadership of hamas, and one of the things right now is, these are being cleared out, theyre finding thats where the hamas leadership is hiding, including those very authorities that went on television and asked specifically, asked people to be human shields, asked those in gaza to be human shields and go to a site which was going to be attacked. So this is an enormously complicated situation, but if we can get a cease pyfire and gete Palestinian Authority in there with a little lep from the International Community, then i think that ceasefire can hold and we can actually reduce the power of hamas with all of those rockets theyve got hidden. All right. Congressman ed royce joining us from orange, california. Sir, thank you so much for speaking with us. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. So imagine this. On a flight. Goodness.

Some of the 38 coffins that are being transferred from ukraine to the netherlands. So they continue the process of investigation, but also the process for these families to hopefully reconcile some of their own feelings. You really feel the sadness and the sacredness when you watch these pictures as these innocent people who had nothing to do with the conflict ukraine and russia are brought home. Its the precision of military honors, when you see everything, and these soldiers we just saw turning just on, pivot on a dime here. Theres one right there. Its special. Especially for all of the people who are standing there wondering if its their loved one who is in that coffin that has been placed into a hearse. Thats got to be what is one of the toughest things. Stand there and know these are people who were on that plane but not know if one of those bodies is the one that you want to come home to you so you can give it the proper burial that youre waiting for. Well pause for a moment and just listen. Just lost that shot there, but 38 coffins returning today. Just landing. They left ukraine this morning and here they are back now arriving and theyll be headed to facilities to begin the identification process. As you see another coffin being extracted there from the plane. It is something to see all of the military personnel. In their uniforms escorting these coffins. And wondering what the families must be feeling like. As theyre watching it. You know, we heard on the first day, i think it was thursday, that day of mourning, in knows break, the pauses we listened to natural sound, where you can hear the people there crying as the first victims were returned to the netherlands. Certainly thoughts and prayers going to all of those folks. As answers are so few still, and hopefully they will get 134 of those some of those answerens in the coming weeks, months, and there is the salute, and again, thoughts and prayers going out to all of those folks there. Well continue to follow that as well. Whats happening new this morning, the u. N. Be says the seconden black box from the air algerie flight that crashed thursday has now been found. The device roved by a team working at the crash site mali, it disappeared from radar after changing its flight path because of bad weather there. There are discrepancies in the number, but what we know from at least the french government thashs 116 people there were onboard. They were killed. I dont know if youve seen this yet, but it was chaos and fear inside a passenger plane in canada. Put yourself in this position. This is captured in cell phone video. Take a look. Heads down, heads up right now, heads down, hands up show me all your hands. Heads down hands up. Hands up and heads down. Imagine being the person in that seat . This started with an angry threat that forced the flight to turn back to toronto escorted by u. S. Fighters jets. Witnesses tell our affiliate a 25yearold canadian citizen said he wanted to bomb canada. A search came up empty, but ali shahi, due in court for a became hearing. Police say he faces four charges including endangering the safety of an aircraft. You know, back to flight 17, as we were watching some of the bodies come back. Among those that was lost, a young family from the netherlands. I want to show you a picture of kim and her 4yearold daughter megan. Dave, the dad in this family, the one behind the lens. He took this photo just before flight 17 took off, and now its a final reminder of the joy for the grieving relatives in the netherlands. Erin maclachlan is at the hague. Erin . Reporter hi, victor. Those 38 caskets expected to arrive here at this military base. Theyre going to drive through those gates just over that way, and even though the bodies have yet to be identified and Officials Say there are still human remains at the crash site, kim halles parents and sister tell me theyre convince pd the halles are home. Too much. Three people. A whole family. Yeah. Too much to understand. Reporter dave and kim halle were on their dream holiday with their 4yearold daughter megan. Dave took what would be his very last photo. His wife and child ready for takeoff onboard mh17. Looking at them and thinking yeah. It was a happy moment for them, and at least their last moments were happy. Yeah. They really were. Yeah. Reporter kims parents say all they can do is wait for their bodies. They watched as the first unidentified caskets arrived in holland. And while they didnt know for sure, they told themselves the halles came off the plane first. They always wanted to win. So we said, this is it. Reporter when you saw the three coffins come off the plane, you thought, there they are . The search was over. The at first we want our that has to be it. Do you blame anyone for whats happened . Yes. The men who hit the the button to start the rocket to to blow up the airplane. If i get him, i will i could kill him. Reporter not far away, the halle house stands empty. Their car parked in the driveway. A makeshift memorial on the front porch. And a grandmothers last moment remembered. She was cycling from the halle house just before the family left for their trip, she said she turned to see her granddaughter. Who waved and said [ speaking in Foreign Language ] i love you, bye reporter now all then have left are memories. And christi and victor, its difficult to say just how much pain this family is going through. The latest round of caskets arriving here in the netherlands to be identified and its difficult to put into words just how important it is every single victim is identified and given back to the family to be buried with dignity and respect. Christi and victor . Erin mclaughlin, thank you very much. The black boxes, we know they were handed over, intact and the download a success. Right. But just what will the investigators find .

More than a week after Malaysian Airlines flight 17 was shot out of the sky investigators still dont have fug access to the crash site. This morning, requesting full qual cooperation. Rebels suggested they may only have another week of patience left. Lets talk about this with richard berry, former counterterrorism director forebritain the mi 6 agency and joined by cnn aviation an legitimate and pilot miles obrien. Gentlemen, thank you for being with us and good morning to you. Richard, start with you. When people theres so much outrage around this already, but when people hear that the rebels are say, were getting a little fed up with you being here. Is it time for the west to do more to intervene. There was a remarkable contrast, i think, between the scenes you showed earlier from the netherlands, of the dignity and respect shown to the victims there and the chaotic and casual attitude of the rebels in the area where the plane came down. And i think the west does lose patience, yes. I think its a question then of what they can do. Certainly sanctions will be increased. Certainly more pressure, political pressure, on the government of russia to try and get the rebels to stop the fighting, and to certainly calm it down, and to protect the crash site, but im not sure what sort of effect that will actually have. Miles, youre a pilot and know what its like inside the cockpit. There
