Rockford files and so many films has died at the age of 86. Well look back at his story career today. And welcome to today on this sunday morning. Im erica hill. Im lester holt alongside dylan dreyer and tom llamas in for jenna again this morning. So much confusion at that crash site, in ukraine. So bizarre to see people traipsing through the wreckage and frankly a place where human remains are. One of the first things that normally happens is that that site is secured. So that doesnt happen. So it is the stakes are high, trying to get facts out in this. Here is what is happening right now. At the site of the Malaysia Flight 17, bodies have been found, 196 of them have been taken away from the site. Reports that pro russian rebels guarding the area forced the emergency workers to hand them all over. All this comes as the International Outrage over the handling of both the bodies and the crime scene only grows. World leaders calling on russias president putin to allow International Investigators access to the site. We have two reports to begin this morning. We start with keir simmons at the site this morning. Good morning. Erica, good morning. There are mangled pieces of this plane, like the section of tail behind me, across the ukrainian country side here. And confused accounts of whether or not the black boxes have been found. This morning, were told that the bodies that have been found here have been removed. But there are fears that many victims havent been located. More than 100 people are still missing, somewhere in this wreckage. But the area is still largely unguarded. It is unbelievable that we can just walk right through the middle of all of this. Stretchers used to carry away the dead have been abandoned. Passengers found in the fields, alongside their possessions, a wallet without money or credit cards. And many cuddly toys, 80 children were on board. Peoples bodies have hit the ground and left these horrific marks. The bodies of the victims will be sent back to their families, i was told, by a gun wielding militia leader who calls himself Prime Minister. Memorials are being held for victims from around the world. The downing of mh17 was not an innocent accident. It was the outcome of a trail of human evil. Reporter and the International Anger is building. The dutch Prime Minister lost 193 countrymen. Russias president putin has one last chance to help, he says. But there is still no sign of crash investigators here. Three full days after flight mh17 came down in flames. And we did just see european monitors arrive. They are not investigators, but they were able to tell us that they can confirm, they have seen it, that the bodies have been taken to a refrigerated train car, a little way away from here. They say they are being kept there in relatively safe and secure conditions, but what they dont know, erica, is where they will be taken to next or even when. Which is so confusing and so frustrating for so many. Keir, as you showed, you can walk through the debris field, which so many of us are not used to seeing and yet the investigators have not yet made their way there. There is a lot of talk about their safety as this first happened. Is that one of the main concerns as they are trying to make their way to the site . It really is. Remember, this is a war zone. At times here you can hear artillery fire in the distance. The front line moves at times, so it could come across here. Right now, we feel completely safe. But that can change. And thats the problem for the investigators. Can they safely come here and find out what happened in the middle of this war . Keir simmons in ukraine for us, thank you. As you may have heard, some of the passengers on the flight were aids researchers, on their way to an important conference in australia that was to begin today. There are some of the best and the brightest in the aids research community. Sara james is following that part of the story for us from melbourne. Good morning. Good morning, lester. At the Opening Ceremony held a short time ago, people from around the world paused to remember six remarkable colleagues who were aboard that doomed airliner. Let our silence represent our sadness, our anger, and our solidari solidarity. Reporter one poignant moment that symbolized the enormity of loss. A tribute to victims who included pioneering past president joep lange. He was simply a wonderful man. And bright. Reporter everywhere, talk of the tragedy. And tokens of esteem. Tying a red ribbon meant a lot to me personally just to show my personal feelings towards the families, the friends, relatives. It is Great Sadness amongst the community, as there is Great Sadness across australia with 28 australians and across the world, over 2 90 lives lost. And really wasteful, wasteful, shocking waste of life. Reporter this was the worst air disaster for australia in more than half a century, with 28 australians among the dead. Every smiling photo another heart breaking story. Like albert and marie risk, who knew most everyone in their small town, the couples children are in shock. I dont think they know what to think at this point in time, the fact is they have lost both their parents. A missile blew through the plane and thats how i depart this world is just incomprehensible. Reporter the Prime Minister expressed his grief. We indicate we are grieving with and praying for all of those who have been impacted by this dreadful, dreadful event. Reporter the Prime Minister says he has grave concerns about russia, that they will say one thing and do another and has real reservations about the integrity of the crash site. Meantime, the aids conference will continue here torrow, and there will be a candlelight vigil later in the week. Lester . Sara james this morning. Thank you. Elsewhere in the world, were following the story out of gaza where it was a horrific scene this morning. From one of the most intense days of fighting, between the Israeli Military and hamas militants, one of the most intense days so far, Richard Engel is in gaza city with more for us. Good morning. Good morning. You can say this is definitely the most intense day so far. Scenes of devastation in a palestinian neighborhood just on the outskirts of gaza city, were seeing children and bodies in the streets, women and children. What happened, were told, is that Israeli Forces early this morning tried to push into the city, push in with tanks and armored vehicles. One Israeli Armored vehicle was attacked by a palestinian rocket. A shoulder fired rocket. That vehicle w a catastrophic loss. There were heavy israeli casualties. Israel moved in with a rescue operation, sending in more troops, and to provide cover for that rescue operation they unleashed a ferocious bombardment on the neighborhood. Residents were desperately trying to call ambulances, ambulances according to medical officials, were not able to reach the area. There was a lot of damage. Dozens killed. One palestinian medical official said it was a war crime in the making. Then amid pressure to try and create some sort of ceasefire, the two sides agreed to a twohour window to allow palestinians to go in, recover some of the bodies, even that window did not hold. The fighting there continues and this is hardly over. All right, Richard Engel for us this morning, thank you. David gregory is moderator of meet the press. Good morning. Good morning. I know youll be joined this morning by secretary of state john kerry. But everything that richard just laid out for us, including that twohour ceasefire, that the red cross requested, that could not hold, realistically, what is it that the u. S. And secretary kerry can do at this point . They have influence over the israeli government. Thus far, though, the Obama White House has been very supportive of this military campaign. There is concern about civilian casualties, urgings for restraint. But i think you may see the Administration Try to exert influence over the future political of gaza. It is president abbas of the Palestinian Authority who exist and operates in west bank, but not in gaza. This, i think, is viewed as a potential moment for gazans themselves to turn against hamas and perhaps seek greater better political leadership. Does that create an opening for the administration on peace efforts that have recently failed . It may be be a slim hope, but i think thats those are the tracks theyre working on. Theyll be looking toward every bit of hope, however slim it may be. This is not the only International Crisis that is that the white house is facing at this point. There is also a lot of pressure to act in some way, pressure from here at home, when it comes to the situation over the downed flight, and whether or not or just how involved russia may be be. When it comes to that, again, what can the u. S. Do realistically, but also what is the u. S. Role technically in all of this . Well, the investigation itself is more limited, but this is an international investigation. What is striking, of course, is the fact that after the president called on russia to use its influence, to get complete cooperation with the investigation, you have this outrageous conduct this morning of separatists, removing bodiyi from the crash site, strong reaction from the administration is forth coming on all of this. And at the same time, they want to give president putin some room to maneuver here. This is the moment of truth as the administration describes it for vladimir putin. What does that mean . You got ukraine government that wants more military aid. And more sanctions. Really rallying European Countries now to perhaps try to cripple russias economy to some degree. Well be checking in with you in a little bit for further look at whats coming up on meet the press. David, thank you. Thanks. Want to get you caught up on the mornings other top stories. Tom llamas is in for jenna. We start with wild video. A hot air balloon went crashing into power lines in a residential neighborhood in massachusetts.

Rj reynolds is vowing to appeal, writing in a statement, the damages awarded in this case are grossly excessive and impermissible under state and constitutional law. Read thbeat them once and wet them again because were on the side of justice, were on the right side. Reporter still, according to one legal analyst, be robinson may never see the billions shes been awarded. When you get an award this size, which is extremely, extremely rare, a lot of the times the award portion will get appealed and nine times out of ten theyre very successful.

Duncan golestani has more on his first year. Reporter hes taking small steps at the end of a big royal year. This newly released photo shows Prince George walking, a new party trick just in time for his first birthday on tuesday. What a year its been since kate and william stepped out of that london hospital, proudly showing their first born to the waiting world. Hes got her looks thankfully. No, no, no. Reporter from a small family christening to a tour down under, george has become the royal to watch. The fact that Prince George is so photogenic, that hes very animated for the cameras, that he seems to be getting involved with the engagements he does suggested, look, this is a future star of the royal family and thats played well with the press, no doubt about it. Reporter it wasnt until that trip to australia and new zealand that we really got a good look at the future king. And until then, sightings were few and far between. At 8 months old, he had his first royal engagement, play date, it was the perfect debut. When kate scooped george up and he sort of nestled his head in her hair and gave her a big cuddle was apparently her favorite photograph of the whole tour. A really Beautiful Image of what is now a historic moment. Reporter and when george went to the zoo, we started to learn more about the young prince. Hes curious. Noisy. And has no time for stuffed toys. Since then, we have seen very little of george as his parents have protected him from the glare of the cameras.

Growing outrage at the crash site of flight mh17. 196 bodies have been removed from the area, but the pro russian rebels who ordered them to be handed over have not said exactly where theyre taking those remains. Five people suffered minor injuries after the hot air balloon they were riding in crashed into a power line in massachusetts. No word on why it happened. Tv and film star james garner being remembered this morning for his legendary career. He passed away overnight of Natural Causes at his home. He was 86 years old. Still to come in this half hour, the incredible stories of survival from the people on Board United Airlines Flight 232. It crashed in iowa, 25 years ago. The pilot saving so many lives that day against incredible odds. Well hear from them coming up. You heard about the power of superfoods like quinoa, wheat grass and kale. What foods you already have that work just as well. Forget about auto tunes or dubbing. There is still one Recording Studio that is making music the oldfashioned way, just like Elvis Presley and johnny cash did there once. Lester will take us there. Did they offer lester a contract . Well find out. If they were smart, they did. Showed up for work today, so theres the answer. Lets begin this half hour with the public outcry here in new york city. It is over the death of a man who died in police custody. Cell phone video captured what appears to be officers using a choke hold on the man, which is a violation of the nypds approved tactics. Ron mott is following the story for us. Ron, good morning. Good morning. One of the officers involved has had his gun and badge taken away while the investigation into exactly what happened here is well under way. It is an incident that left bystanders and a mans family outraged. Im minding my business, officer. Reporter it happened on staten island. I didnt sell anything. Reporter cell phone video Shows New York City police confronting 43yearold eric garner, who they suspected of illegally selling cigarettes when things got physical. One of the officers appears to apply a choke hold to the father of six and after wrestling the man to the ground, the choke hold remained, with another officer pinning his head to the sidewalk. Moments later. I cant breathe. I cant breathe. Reporter he complained he couldnt breathe at least eight times. He later went limp and died. All he did was break up a fight. Reporter ramsey recorded the incident on his phone. Got a protocol to follow and they didnt follow none of it. Reporter the commissioner acknowledged the officer appears to choke garner. The choke holds are in fact prohibited by the new York City Police department as they are, in fact, by most Police Departments in the United States because of the concerns of potential death arising from them. Reporter saturday, garners widow collapsed at a rally before protesters marched to the Police Precinct near the incident, demanding justice. I cant breathe. Reporter amid the growing anger is sadness, a sense garners death was avoidable. This woman saw it all. I was angry because he didnt deserve to go like that. They literally jumped on this man and the one with the 99 on his shirt, im pretty sure, he crushed his windpipe. Thats how hard he took him down. Reporter bill de blasio said hes disturbed by what he saw on the video and sent conlences to the family. An official cause of death has not been announced just yet, lester. Incredibly disturbing. Ron, thank you very much. Lets go outside to dylan. Shes got a final check of the weather. Thanks, guys. We are looking at temperatures to be on the warmer side in parts of the country today. Actually very much above average, back through the plains states. Taking a look at some of the temperatures, well see this afternoon, youwe are going to b in the 90s to well around 100 degrees from north dakota into southern texas, southwest is hot too. The northwest finally starting to cool off and we do have a couple spotty showers especially the eastern great lakes stretching down into the southeast. And again, it is going to be warm, in the middle of the country and some of that heat will help fuel some of the storms we could see in northern minnesota today. We have a slight risk of stronger storms with the chance of isolated tornadoes and also larger hail. Tomorrow that slight risk expands to include the dakotas and we will see a few spotty showers in the southeast. Want to point out from wichita falls, texas, 40 years of marriage. F4 tornado you survived, survived the heat wave, 100 days of 100 plus heat, recycled affluent water, dont know what that is, but as a meteorologist i need to get on that. Thats a look at the weather across the country. Heres a peek out your window. Good morning. Im storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell outside of our window in northwest its a mostly cloudy sky. You can see oneamm 4 radar not much in the way of rain yet. Couple sprinkles will be rolling across st. Marys county within the hour. A little chance for a quick shower coming up later on today. Out the door weather mid to upper 60s are to low 70s outside right now. Its going to be a reasonably good day. Mostly cloudy with an occasional sprinkle or shower. Plenty of dry hours to get your Outdoor Activities in. And thats your latest forecast. Erica . All right, dylan, thanks. A somber anniversary this weekend that seems perhaps somewhat more poignant given the news of the downing of flight mh17. It was 25 years ago that United Airlines flight 232 crashed in sioux city, iowa, after suffering a failure that made a safe landing virtually impossible. Despite insurmountable odds, twothirds of those on board survived. This weekend, many survivors came together to honor those who perished and remembered the day that forever changed their lives. In sioux city, iowa, this weekend, hugs and tears and still vivid memories among survivors of the day fate gave them a second chance. Thank you. Reporter passengers and crew members of united flight 232 reunited, 25 years after their calm routine flight from denver to chicago devolved into terror. I remember the just a huge bang. It was just that from normalcy to just okay chaos, ju like that. Reporter in that incident, high over iowa, everything changed for the 296 people aboard the dc10, an explosion in the rear end gin disabled the hydraulic system, rendering the flaen virt plane virtually uncontrollable. Al haynes was the pilot. First thing he said, i cant control the airplane. Reporter with the help of a second officer and off duty pilot, he improvised a way to steer the plane by manipulating thrust on the two good engines. They aim for the closest air field, sioux city. In the cabin, passengers took the crash position. I parade frayed for the pilo get strength to get down. Reporter but the plane was approaching almost 100 miles an hour faster than it should. And then just feet from the ground, this. Smashed into the earth, it was incredible. I remember involuntarily closing my eyes and thinking, i just cannot believe that we hit this hard. And that our bones could all still be connected to our body. Reporter air Traffic ControllerKevin Bachman was working the control tower. You think everybody is going to die and then you think theyre all going to make it and then in my minds eye, they all died because i saw it. The plane was gone. Reporter 112 people died. Miraculously though, 184 others lived. Somebody in the pile of debris was moaning and i said, relax, i see help coming. Reporter at this weekends reunion, they honored those who were lost. Renee lebeau. Denise benben. Reporter on friday, captain al haynes and first officer records walked down the runway that they so desperately tried to safely land on that day. Still burdened by the memories of those who didnt make it. You know, thats all everybody talks about is we were responsible for saving all these people. But technically we were also responsible for 112 dead. Reporter but those they did save against impossible odds remain eternally grateful to the pilots of flight 232. And heres the most interesting fact of all this, in the investigation, they went back in the simulator and said lets see how they might have been able to fly an airplane with that kind of damage they couldnt do it. They ruled this plane simply could not have been safely landed. Which makes it even more miraculous that they were able to and they single out the incredible coordinated rescue effort in sioux city on the ground, they believe, saved dozens of lives as well. Great story. Thanks. Still to come this morning, we are talking super foods. Jake and i have been best friends for years. One of our favorite things to do is going to the dog park together. Sometimes my copd makes it hard to breathe. So my doctor prescribed symbicort. It helps significantly improve my lung function starting within five minutes. Symbicort doesnt replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. With symbicort, today im breathing better. Come on, boy [ female announcer ] symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It should not be taken more than twice a day. Symbicort contains formoterol. Medicines like formoterol increase the risk of death from asthma problems. Symbicort may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high Blood Pressure before taking it. [ man ] now symbicort significantly improves my lung function, starting within 5 minutes. And that makes a difference in my breathing. Today, im hanging out with my best friend. Talk to your doctor about symbicort. I got my first prescription free. Call or go online to learn more. [ male announcer ] if you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. But do you know whats the cant in your skincare . Medication, neutrogena naturals. A line of naturally derived skincare with carefully chosen, clinically proven ingredients and no harsh chemicals. Healthy skinstarts from within. Neutrogena naturals. Natalie what are you doing . Willie protecting my password. Natalie thats good. Can i see . Willie no, its a secret. Natalie i was just testing you. Keep your password to yourself, and protect your online information. Both the more you know. This morning on eat smart today, are super foods really that super . We keep hearing this term. They seem to be everywhere these days. That includes things like goji berries, quinoa, even wheat grass, kale. So are they worth putting in your grocery cart and why . Bonnie todds dix is a nutritionist and author of read it before you eat it. I want to start off with chia right now. The same seeds with the chia pet. They are. Enough of that. Thank you for clearing that up. Super question of the day. I get one a day. Tell me if theyre important to eat. Theyre high in fiber, but they can lower cholesterol levels, so it is heart healthy. Also good for your digestive tract. So it really it forms like this gel latinous texture. You find them in all kinds of things, muffins, smoothies. Theyre versatile and put them on oatmeal. I love them on oatmeal. It is great to eat them any time of day. This is worth it. Not that expensive. It is good food for your dieet. Thats why theyre super. Another thing is quinoa, not a grain, it is a seed. Yes, which makes it perfect for a gluten free diet. But yet it is higher in protein than most grains. It is really good to eat, high in fiber, could help stabilize blood sugar levels and it really is a great swap for other grains because youre getting so much more from it. What i like about super foods is they kind of multitask, like we do. So it is a food that really could do a lot of things at once. And quinoa fills you up quickly. Yes, which can help with weight control. Thats very important. All right. This is the from the berry family. I dont think ive tried this. Goji . You should try it. Theyre not that sweet. Theyre on the bitter side, on the tart side. It has there is a lot of hype behind it, where there are tonics made of these, juices made of these. Tasty. High in antioxidants. But if youre buying a goji berry juice, you could be getting more sugar than goji. Be sure you read it before you eat it because you have to see what else is in there. What about the chocolate covered ones . Dark chocolate is good for you, but there may be other things to eat, like kale, for example. This exploded everywhere. It is in every supermarket. Ive seen it in tiny Little Convenience stores. It is everywhere. I like it. It is pretty tasty. For good reason. Kale has ten times the vitamin c of spinach. It is high in fiber. It has vitamin k, which is important for bone health. It also is since high in vitamin c, vitamin c helps the absorption of iron. The iron in here gets absorbed well because it has so much c in here. Lets be honest. The foods you point out are good for us. There is a trendy quality to them. I say that because i want to walk you down here. These are things that most of us have in our refrigerators, eggs and potatoes and avocado. I love this table. Good . As good. Sometimes even better. Even the regular potato which gets a lot of flack.

We are back on a sunday morning as we look back on the music industry. 60 years ago, today or this month . This month. This month. Okay. Elvis presley entered a tiny storefront Recording Studio called sun studio. By the time he walked out, he had recorded what he thought would become his first of many hits. Part of the rich past that made sun studio a sacred place for generations of musicians, a revered piece of American History that withstood the test of time. Just you waking up reporter there was a time Music Artists came to a studio to actually cut a record. The only thing digital about the process were the fingers working the piano key and fret board. Lets hear it back. Reporter inside a tiny storefront studio in memphis, that time is now, just as it was 60 years ago this month. Thats all right mama reporter a young man named Elvis Presley cut his first hit record, in this studio. He started playing the song thats right mama and sam philips ran out the door and said, thats it. Play it again. He got the mikes, they cut it. Two days later took it to the local deejay, played it 14 times in a row that night and after that, the world changed forever. Reporter sam philips founded the Memphis Recording Service in 1950. It later became sun records. Jerry philips is his son. Listening to records of different Record Companies and werent paying him. So he was forced into starting his only label. Reporter the wall still with the original acoustic tiles are lined with the photos of some of the Famous Artists who recorded here. Thats considered to be the greatest picture in rock history, thats called the Million Dollar quartet. Carl perkins in the middle. He had an unknown piano player Jerry Lee Lewis playing, he got paid 15 bucks. Elvis presley walked in and sam philips thought this was a great publicity opportunity, so he called johnny cash, his biggest star at the time. Reporter audio engineer Matt Ross Spang spent the last several years restoring the studio, complete with vintage mikes, tape decks and sound mixers. I like the Human Element and the raw energy and emotion in those early recordings. Reporter todays recordings, guitar plays by itself, the drums by itself, here, everybody plays together. And no headphones, no monitoring. Reporter by day, sun studio is a tourist attraction. Call it the elvis mike, elvis and all the other musicians likely used it. Reporter by night, working musicians come to record and discover a simpler, authentic sound of a bygone era. How would you describe the sound . Real. It is the truest sound you can get because it is what was done, everybody at one time together. Reporter on one recent night, a group that included singer dale watson and some of the session musicians who played with the likes of johnny cash and Jerry Lee Lewis among others came here to record and reflect. Like home to me really. Get a blend like you would at a rehearsal or live gig. Want to do real rock n roll, there is only one place to go. When you play an instrument, in this room, it sounds like the records you listen to. There is no faking it here. Reporter all these years later, sam philips son thinks his dad would be happy to know sun studio is still hitting all the right notes. My dad said it was like a laboratory. Get in there and just hunt and find the music that youre looking for. When you got it, youll know it. Yeah. As i pointed out, working studio. If youre in memphis, have some time, take the tour. Worth seeing. Stunning to see the microphones and just i love that whole era. You must have, being a musician, must have loved it. I couldnt resist. I wondering if you he let me record. See how crouched over the bass, i dont play that way, but no headphones and no monitors. I have to hear the instrument. It was great to be in the same room. I recorded the modern day and a lot of those youre by yourself. Different experience. This must be more fun. Very cool. Did he offer you a contract in. No, they put a contract out on me. I think the truth of that story is somewhere in between. Well be right back after these messages. So, duke, what do you think of our new bushs baked beans video game .
