In the ukraine with the latest. Hi, steve. Reporter bret, today, the assertion from the u. S. State department that the Russian Military is not just aiding the rebels in Eastern Ukraine, but doing much more. According to the state department, the Russian Military is attacking Ukrainian Government forces from russian territory. We have new evidence that the russians intend to deliver heavier and multiple rocket launchers to ukraine and evidence that russia is firing artillery from within russia to attack Ukrainian Military positions. Reporter such direct action would be a considerable escalation from simply supporting rebel fighters with ammunition and training. It comes at a time when Ukrainian Forces are gaining ground, but with a shaky political situation in kiev. In the middle of an armed rebellion, a financial crisis and an aviation disaster, ukraines Prime Minister resigned. The sudden move by prowestern comes at a time of concern, about the governments ability to meet its financial obligations. How are we going to pay for the fuel for armored vehicles, he told parliament today. How will we pay those families who lost soldiers. The collapse of the governing coalition came off two days of fist fights between lawmakers in parliament. With some accusing the communist party of aiding the russianbacked rebels. Meantime, the violence is impeding progress in the investigation of the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight 17, in prorussian rebelheld territory in Eastern Ukraine. At this major section of the plane crash site, you can tell theres no sense of security, no investigation going on here either. If you take a this sec hon of the plane, it looks like someone took a power saw to make these jagged edges, perhaps cutting away what could be important evidence. 74 more bodies were transported to the netherlands from Eastern Ukraine today. Identification of the bodies is expected to take anywhere from days to weeks. The russianbacked rebels have been steadily losing ground, but direct intervention from the Russian Military could shift the balance and escalate the war. Bret . Steve harrigan live in donetsk. With more on what this means with the escalation, lets turn to Jennifer Griffin here in the bureau. Jennifer, is this the first time the russians have fired on the ukrainians . The u. S. And the pentagon have been watching this develop for weeks. We have video from july 16th of russia firing the multirocket launcher over the border from russia. We cant confirm the authenticity, but it is fired in the same region where Russian Troops are. Then theres this photo posted today on twitter, showing the aftermath of a Russian Artillery strike today on the ukraine border. According to ukrainian intelligence, russia fired at eight ukrainian positions in the past three days alone. Just yesterday, less than a week after the downing of the malaysian plane, two ukrainian fighter jets were shot down. One ukrainians believe was brought down by missiles fired from the russian side of the border. The day before the malaysian plane was shot down, bret, by a russian sa11 missile launcher, a mig fired from russian air space, bringing a plane down. This has been going on for some time. Remember, there are still 10,000 to 12,000 Russian Troops on the border. They are dug in, have camouflaged positions. Its the magnitude of the weapons used that has increased since april 22nd when the First Ukrainian plane was fired on by russian weapons. The pentagon began getting worried about this when they saw the buildup on the border. Today they said it was 122millimeter batteries and rocket launchers that hit the checkpoint near the border. What about this . The timing of state, talking about it, from the podium. Why now, if theyve had all this, why talk about it and come out and say what you said . You have to look at it in terms of what else happened today. That is the canadians and eu for the first time ratcheted up sanctions on russia. The eu targeted 15 individuals, 18 companies that are supporting the russian government. And they described the reason for those sanctions as ukraines territorial integrity is being threatened. So this provides some evidence of that. Canada, on the other hand, it focused on gas prom bank, which is in the Energy Sector. Does this mean that finally the canadians and others are going to target these russian banks and the Energy Sector . Shore them up, basically. More on this with the panel. Thank you, jennifer. The death toll in the israeli Hamas Conflict continues to climb. As it enters its 18th day. Even designated safe areas are becoming increasingly dangerous for civilians. Our correspondent is in gaza city early friday morning. Reporter the shelling can be seen from a distance. The northeastern neighborhood in gaza has been the site of growing fighting between Israeli Soldiers and hamas fighters. Thousands of palestinians have followed israeli advice to leave their homes, hoping to avoid being caught in the middle of the violence. Many taking refuge in shelters similar to this one. Hamas operates in the area. Their flags are visible. As the fighting crept closer to civilian shelters, the u. N. Said it tried to coordinate a safe passage with israel for civilians to flee. It was never granted. Just a few minutes ago, a u. N. School just like this full of kids and refugees was hit by shelling. Everybody here saying that they are angry, theres nowhere safe. They want the International Community to help. Israel says its troops were battling militants. But there are no reports of fighters inside the building that was hit. Still, israeli shells destroyed the shelter. At least 60 people, including 3 u. N. Teachers were killed. The local hospital overwhelmed with dozens of injured women and children. The Israeli Military said theyre investigating the incident. But blames hamas for using innocents as human shields. This comes as at least two israelis were injured by hamas rockets today. Civilian casualties on both sides is a major concern for diplomats. We urge all parties to redouble their efforts to protect civilians. Reporter secretary of state john kerry remains in the region, but so far, a ceasefire, even a temporary humanitarian one, remains elusive. Hamas is demanding an end to the eightyearlong israeli blockade of gaza, while hamas wants the israeli rockets to end. Neither side trusts the other. And neither seems willing to give up. Despite the continued violence, the faa lifted its 48hour travel ban for american flights to tel avivs bengurion airport, which had been in place after rockets hit a town near the runway. The removal of the ban was welcome by israel. Hamas vows to continue aiming its rockets at the airport. Tonight we saw the largest palestinian protest in the west bank since the start of the fatah 14 years ago. A sign of just how angry the palestinian street is at the violence happening here in gaza, bret. Conor, thank you. President obama is not the only world leader who is dealing with an optics problem these days. Heres chief washington correspondent james rosen on u. N. Secretarygeneral ban kimoon. And his relationship to qatar. Reporter with secretary of state kerry shuttling around the middle east to broker a ceasefire in gaza, he said he spoke by phone three times with the foreign minister of qatar. The country whose oil wealth is believed to be bank rolling not only vital Infrastructure Structure in gaza, but also the rocket launchers and tunneling equipment that hamas has used to attack israel. Qatar doesnt have the right to send the oil to build rockets and tunnels and support the killing of people. Reporter u. N. Secretarygeneral ban kimoon who arrived the same day as kerry faced criticism of how he got there. Do you think its appropriate for qatar to be paying for your flight here, giving support . Reporter ban said he didnt have time to waste and his aides rejected any conflict of interest. There are a number of different parties hes meeting with, and he deals with them equally and evenhandedly trying to get at a ceasefire. Reporter the latest terrorism report said qatari fundraisers as representatives of other groups were a significant terrorist financing risk. And may have supported terrorist groups in other countries. I hope secretary kerry theyre telling the qataris to look at their own problem, and being against hamas and pushing for a quick ceasefire without all of hamas war aims being met. Other countries in the region can push hamas to effect a ceasefire. Qatar is one of them. Its important to get to a ceasefire so we will continue working with them. Reporter the head of hamas spoke out forcefully, from the base in do har, qatar. When it comes to this battle between us and israel, they are the occupiers. Reporter as for turkey the Prime Minister doubled down on his comments, telling Cnn International today, and i quote, you can see that what israel does to palestine, to gaza right now, has surpassed what hitler did to them, unquote. It was said secretary kerry is protesting his remarks in his talks with turkeys foreign minister. All of this with the panel. President obama is still fundraising. Ed henry has that.

Who cares. President obama has been under fire this week for fundraising during world crises. Now hes brought back his theme of chiding republicans and their socalled foamy scandals. Chief White House Correspondent ed henry has that story. Reporter wrapping up three days of fundraising, president obama visited a los angeles deli to talk about his basketball shot has gotten weak. Also getting old, some of his campaign lines a as he tried to turn away from the Foreign Policy crises that followed him to the west coast this week, by reviving an old standby, phony scandals as he told donors, obviously people are concerned about some of the turmoil thats taking place around the world. But the conflict that probably makes people most discouraged is the conflict they see in washington, where members of congress cant seem to do anything. Where all we hear about is gridlock and all we hear about is posturing and phony scandals. Well, that may rev up democrats before the midterms, Speaker Boehner was having none of it. Maybe he should reorganize his priorities. Reporter boehner charging all the fundraising is sapping time away not just from the Foreign Policy hot spots, but the negotiations over the president s 3. 7 billion request to deal with the border crisis. Weve got a president thats awol. Reporter the pressure on the president is clear in a new fox poll. Asked if theyre satisfied request twith the country, 40 say yes, 60 say no. 41 say yes, 55 say no, the economy is not turning around. Donors balked at giving 25,000 to sit down with the president. And were offered a cut rate of 5,000 instead. A senior democratic strategist noted, since boehner announced his lawsuit against the president , House Democrats have gotten a surge of 4 million in online donations, adding, quote, democratic voters are highly motivated and having the president out there is one of the best tools. Other democrats admit a fatigue that all president s eventually face is now setting in. We saw the same thing, bush had a terrible 2006. Clinton had a pretty bad sixyear term in 98. I think people are tired of obama. Now, after that rough pr week, the Obama White House getting lessons in damage control from the Clinton White house. Josh earnest invited lockhart and jake seahurt in the Clinton Administration to have lunch in the white house today. Ed henry, thanks.

Its how i look at life. Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on Something Better . My doctor told me about eliquis for three Important Reasons. One, in a Clinical Trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin theres no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why im shooting for Something Better. Eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Late this afternoon, the missing al al jerry p plane was found. Reporter late tonight an official announced the wreckage had been found and there were no survivors. Translator the exact position is 50 kilometers north of gibo. Reporter the flight 5017 was supposed to land here, at algiers airport this morning. It never did.

Many planned to change planes in algiers and return to france. Translator this tragedy is confirmed. It is a major tragedy that affects our entire nation and many others.
