Went down. 54 passengers and 4 crew members were onboard at the time. The conditions at the time for stormy and difficult because of the typhoon motmo yesterday. And take a look, the remains of the victims of flight mh17 arrives in the netherlands a short time ago. Take a look. Families were emotional, as you can see there, as the first coffin emerged from that plane. Onebyone they were slowly taken from the transport to waiting hearses. This is a live picture. 200 of the flights 298 victims have been accounted for at this point. Two ukrainian fighter jets are shot down in that same region, just 20 miles from the flight crash site of flight 17. The leader of the prorussian insurgents posted this video on youtube. It appears to show wreckage from the jets still burning. Ukraines Defense Ministry says on its twitter account that crew members were ejected from the fighter jets safely before they went down. A funeral also will be held this evening for a man who died after that infamous now confrontation with the nypd. Cell phone video appears to show an officer using a chokehold on that man, eric garner, he says eight times that he cant breathe. He died shortly after. It still hasnt been determined that the chokehold contributed to the death. But Police Suspected garner of selling loose cigarettes and that justified the way that they acted in this video. Family and friends demanded justice at a protest. If theres going to be no justice theres going to be no peace. The commissioner has ordered a review of nypd training. Back to the devastation in gaza. This 16day conflict has left more than 660 palestinians dead. United nations is claiming that more than 70 of those are civilians. U. N. Human rights commissioner saying israel may have committed war crimes by killing civilians in gaza at the scope that it has. Israeli officials blame hamas. They accuse israel embedded itself among the civilians. Three civilians have been killed by rockets launched from gaza. Secretary of state john kerry is in the region today, as we mentioned, meeting with both sides of this conflict. The people in the palestinian territories, people in israel are all living under the threat and this needs to end for everybody. We need to find a way that works and its not violence. Joining us is martin fletcher. Martin . Reporter hi, ronan. Israel keeps pointing out that the reason that they are attacking those densely Populated Areas is because thats where hamas has dug in and there was an example today. Israel obliterated a hospital in gaza city today. They spent two days warning the people to leave, take out the patients, the medical personnel and then showed the army pictures of the air force destroying the building. They did because it was tunnels that israel is trying to find and destroy, there was a mass Operations Center, control and Operations Center in the hospitals. They say there were secondary explosions. Thats what is going on. Israel claims that the hamas is hiding amongst the people and they have no choice. All eyes are on the diplomatic efforts of secretary of state john kerry. Israel says they are making some progress but theres still a long way to go and its not clear what that means. Israel and hamas clearly have a lot of fighting left inside of them. Israel is very upset with the faa, the decision to renew the ban on flights here will clearly be followed by the European Airlines despite israels appeal to the safety of ben gurions airport. Ronan . Martin fletcher, appreciate that update. Stay safe there. What about the economic toll . Major airlines banning this travel into israel could deal a crippling blow on that front and thats one reason that Prime Minister netanyahu has encouraged john kerry to get those flights to resume. He was making that same case this morning on abc news. Though weve had some 2,000 rockets fired into israel, we havent had one target inside the airport, the tunnel, the runway. Our airport is safe, its secure, and we hope the americans will be flying to israel soon. Could the bottom line finally put peace back on the table . And if it doesnt, whats not at stake just for israels economy but for the economy and the world. Jared bernstein is joining me. Pleasure. Ben gurion airport is a big economic hub. It handled 14 million visitors last year. How big of an impact is this economically . A big impact. Tourism is a very important part of the israeli economy. It accounted for 6 of the economy last year. Thats about 12 billion. But just to put it in perspective, 6 of our economy is about a trillion. And this season started out particularly strong, in part economies that send tourists to israel and the u. S. Is the most important, have been improving as well. The tourism is expected to climb 15 this year and they are off to a strong start. Its a big, serious economic problem, especially if it persists. And tourism specifically, thats a 12 billion season that eres a lot at stake. Theres commentary on both sides of this. Theres a new article that says israel would not gain much from peace. Do you agree with that assessment . Well, look, im going to speak specifically on the economy. I mean economically, of course. We have hotels that should be at 80 occupancy and they are now at 40. Its not just tourists that come, local consumers stay home as well. I understand that consumption in tel aviv, consumer spending, is down Something Like a third. So it is interesting the way you frame this up, i think, that perhaps these economic problems can can help to incentivize more cooperation. It is striking. Otherwise, israel is so economically progressive. This is obviously the last thing they want on that side of what they are dealing with. Well, its a pretty narrowly targeted situation. However, lets, obviously, not forget the connection to mh17, the downed commercial airliner in ukraine. I think that tragedy is looking over the shoulder of lots of decisions that are being made today. So, again, if this persists, it could spread throughout the region. Its actually isolated in israel around the border. New york mayor Mike Bloomberg made a statement on this. He bought a ticket from el al and called for the faa to reverse this decision. How specific is this to americas fortunes . America sends more tourists to israel than any other country and were crippled in that sense for what was starting to be a very prominent decision. If you listen to the people that depend on this, the hotelers and restaurants, they are talking about just falling off a cliff in terms of their economic. So the u. S. Is a very big part of the story. Jared bernstein, appreciate your insights on this. Sure. Up next, finding love in a war zone. Possible . In an unexpected way, yes.

Victims of Malaysia Airlines started coming home today. These are live pictures of a long line of hearses traveling through the netherlands. Its a national day of morning. Getting to this day has taken a long time. Six days in which the victims bodies were left out on the charred ground held by separatists of Eastern Ukraine. They traveled by train across a country torn apart by war and then finally taken toll their home soil. Nbcs katy tur was there in the netherlands. Reporter right now they are on their way to another military facility where they will begin the identification. There were 40 bodies on these two planes. They were offloaded in quite a d dignified ceremony earlier. There was a moment of silence observed, the king and queen and a thousand family members showed up. They were behind a black curtain as they grieved. Each of the 40 bodies was givens its own coffin and hearse, trying to maintain the dignity that they didnt have as they were left in the fields of ukraine. The process could take some time, could take days, weeks, months depending on the condition of the bodies. Family members have been asked to create what they are calling a profile of the victims. Pictures, things that their draw structure looks like, tattoos, birth marks, anything to help them identify their remains in a quicker fashion. Now, not all of the bodies or victims are dutch. Those that they have identified that are not dutch will be flown, repatriated to their own countries. Only 40 bodies so far. Most of the family members that were here today, most of them did not have loved ones on that plane, which is just on top of it all, such a trying thought. Ronan . Nbcs katy tur. Theres Political Action in europe as well. Tomorrow is the deadline for the eu sanctions for russia that falls way short of the possible action that they could have taken, like sectorwide actions that could have shaken the economy. So much of this action surroundiagainst russia is from america. Where is the european role in this . Joining me is a former ambassador to ukraine. Thank you for being here. 50 of russias trade is with european countries. How much is that in swaying them . Very important. Because the europeans do so much business with the russians, they have a lot of influence with the russians. It also comes with vulnerabilities. So the europeans have to weigh those costs and benefits. But that weighing of costs and benefits has been going on for weeks now and the traditional analysis has been that it was too costly to impose these harsher sanctions that we have proposed and we installed and imposed in some cases. So but that, i think that cost benefit analysis has changed. The game changer, of course, is the tragedy. After the tragedy, the discussion, the analysis, the response, i think, will be different. Can europe really afford to play hardball more aggressively here . The first step is that 10 of the eus total trade is with russia. Weve had some cases of defiance. France actually Just Announced to a lot of applause, it turns out, that they are not going to change their plans to deliver a new warship to russia. How do you confront that . I think the french will confront that and i think the french neighbors and allies will confront that. I will be amazed if the french go forward with both of those. They have indicated that there is some question about the second warship. I would imagine theres a lot of pressure on them to cancel the contract for the first one as well. Now, the french will be looking to see if the burden can be shared and the brits have a way to share some of that burden. Theres a lot of investments, Financial Assets of rich russians in london. Those could be attacked. Those could be frozen. Those could be taken away from those russians. The germans, of course, have a lot of gas that comes to them. There are things that the germans can do as well. So i believe that the europeans will be talking to each other and, as i say, i think the conversation will be different after the airliners crash. And you mentioned what a turning point is was that this crash happened and the conversation that is happening now, of course, all the death toll is so europe concentrated. Do you actually think that this will turn out to be a change in the stance towards russia Going Forward . I do. I do. I think the europeans and much of the world had been thinking that this conflict between the russians and the ukrainians was some small, little conflict between two places that are fairly far away from them. Of course, ukraine is smack in the middle of europe and it took this tragedy to focus the attention of the europeans on the fact that this is not just a small little conflict far away from them, that its really going to affect them daytoday and their people. And one maybe unconventional but europeled approach that is going around online is this suggestion that russia shouldnt host the world cup in 2018. Obviously this is after the last olympics turned out to be something of a fig leaf for them during a time of human rights violations. The head of the Football Association called it premature. How significant of a blow could losing a major sporting event be . If the russians have taken themselves out of the civilized International Community, as they have, by violating the norms, the treaties, the codes of conduct that have guided european and indeed International Relations since world war ii and certainly since the end of the cold war, if they have taken themselves out of this civilized set of nations, then theres no reason why they should be given benefits and if hosting Sports Events is a benefit, then they may have to give that up. Ambassador, appreciate your time on this. Weve been posing our question that we just asked the ambassador to you all as well. In the wake of the tragedy, should russia host the world cup . You have been tweeting under russiaworldcup. And several change. Org petitions have been started. Well keep you updated on that conversation and see if we can get some responses.
