progress. that train with some 200 bodies almost heading north to a city beyond the control of the separatists and in a few hours time, we expect that handover of the black box to take place as well. wolf. phil black. what worries me is that whole area, especially around where you are in donetsk, but also where that crash site is, there are a lot of armed men all over the place. the violence escalating. i m worried about those international teams coming in, including a lot of international journalists, including our own journalists on the scene. i hope everyone, everyone, is safe. phil, you re doing an excellent job for all of us. for our viewers in the united states and around the world. be careful other there as well. still ahead, much more news. president obama demands that the russian president putin use his influence with the pro-russian rebels in ukraine to let in plane crash investigators. we re going to talk about that with the republican congressman ed rice. he s chairman
near hospitals, using basically humid shields. and, you know, some people say, well, gaza is small, and they re going to be civilians around wherever hamas operates. that may be true, but hamas has fully aggravated the situation by using these sites to hide its munitions, to hide some of its militants, and that is, in part, responsible for this heavy civilian casualty count. do you see any possibility that the palestinian authority leadership of president mahmoud abbas who basically secured the west bank, he s cooperated militarily with israel, he s now involved in trying to get a cease-fire that the p.a., the palestinian authority, could effectively take charge not only of the west bank, of gaza, and push hamas aside, is that at all realistic, congressman? i don t think it s probably realistic during this fight. unless the fight became very, very prolonged. it s certainly possible when this fight is other. i think the people in gaza are
