And israel launching more air strikes on gaza. The u. S. Secretary of state john kerry is pushing for a week long truce to begin on sunday. The Gaza Health Ministry says 883 people have been killed, close to 6,000 wounded. 40 israelis have been killed most of them soldiers. John vauss is in jerusalem for us. He joins us now with the latest and again, john, theyre hoping for 12 hours of peace but that smoke over gaza and these live pictures could be some sort of ominous look at what may be ahead. Well, look, both sides have said they will honor this cease fire, the israelis though making note if hamas does violate the deal, then they will hit back hard. But right now, the clocks ticking. Hope for the best that maybe this fighting will ease up 12 hours of calm. Something gaza has not seen for 19 days now. As you said, just right till the very last moment, there were explosions in gaza. Three very big explosions in the northern part of gaza just at least a dozen others were heard, as well. As well as the sound of gunfire, too. So it does seem that the fighting did continue right up until 8 00 a. M. Local time here. Now as part of this deal, the israelis will stop the air strikes, they will stop the artillery shells, stop the ships from firing into gaza, as well. What will not stop is that Israeli Soldiers on the ground inside gaza will continue to look for and destroy hamas tunnels. So now, this is the question. Will this cease fire hold . Will this lull hold and will be as john kerry, the u. S. Secretary of state said, will this be a down payment towards some kind of negotiations towards that longer week cease fire when they can actually a week long cease fire rather so they can discuss those bigger issues. Its a big if, natalie. If you recall last sunday, there was two hour long humanitarian cease fire. That didnt last an hour. Theres so much tension, so much heated rhetoric, as well and the violence. Its vet very precarious. You mentioned that the colders there from israel on the ground still working to get rid of those tunnels. What about the people who have evacua evacuated, john, presuming that theyre told to stay in place or can they try and go back home during this what will hopefully be a lull in the fighting . Well, about 100,000 people inside gaza are actually displaced right now. Many of them were warned by the israelis. They drop the leaflets, sent out Text Messages and they were told get out because your area is about to be hit by an israeli operati operation. Get to safety. Its arguable where is safe right now. Many, many people are away from their homes taking shelter in u. N. Facilities as well as other places in the gaza strip. The israelis have warned them or have suggested it is not advisable for those people who return to their homes. I guess thats a concern that if this cease fire is violated by hamas as far as the israelis are concerned, then they will resume the air strikes and maybe those people will be caught up in some kind of conflict area. You mentioned the fact that these Israeli Soldiers are continuing to go after these tunnels. They found about 31 of them. Theyve destroyed maybe 11 for 12 so far. This is one of the big sticking points why the israelis reject this had week long cease fire proposal because they want to stay in there and get rid of all of these tunnels. This is one of the reasons reasons why this he began this ground operation in the first place. If they stop now, the jobs only half done. Absolutely. You mentioned u. S. Secretary kerry. Hes heading to paris this weekend. Who he be meeting with there to try to continue to trial to get something more secure for a lasting cease fire . Well, so hes heading to paris now. We understand he will be holding these meetings with the french government, the british government. Theres some talk that maybe the qatar foreign minister might not attend. Speaking to Becky Anderson a few hours ago and said he hasnt made up his mind whether or not he will attend the talks in paris. It is interesting to note the israelis and palestinians will not be there in paris, and if the foreign minister from qatar isnt there, as well, that could be a problem. Right now it seems qatar is the one country were told most influence over hamas. So the other issue to keep in mind too, when we look at all the efforts which the secretary of state has gone to over the last couple of days, hes been in the region for five days. Marathon phone calls. Hours and hours of negotiations, late into the night. And so far, the best hes managed to achieve is a 12hour lull in the fighting. Its an endy indication of just how difficult this is going to be to try and solve it and try and end the fighting between the israelis and hamas militants. Even our split screen with you there in sunny jerusalem and gray sky over gaza is telling about what perhaps is ahead. Well see if the skies clear over gaza in the next few hours. Thank you, john vauss, for us. Now over to george. There is no question that this is a delicate situation. And if the cease fire holds, doctors will have a moment to finally breathe. And tend to some of the thousands that have been wounded. Across gaza, hospitals are overwhelmed with casualties. Karl penhaul visited an emergency room. We want to warn you, some viewers may find the images in this story disturbing. Reporter dead on an rival. The horror, civilians and medics at breaking point. Feel exhausted. We feel depressed. No time to rest. Its a scramble to rescue survivors. Surgeons told us not to film this casualty. A hint perhaps he was a militant fighter. But most on the operating table at south gazas European Hospital are clearly noncombatants. Their patient is a 23yearold female. They showed me on the xrays she has a basic fracture on her leg. They say that was caused by a rocket blast. The surgeons focus. The blink of a patients eye. The beep a vital sign. Dr. Hassan is sick of it. Sick he tells me of stitching bodies mutilated by shrapnel. Sick of war. . In the last ten hours, we received 61 injured patients. So we dont have enough here to work on these patients. Down the hallway, surgeons patch up a toddler. They say the rest of his family is dead. Bone and Brain Surgeons do skin grafts. Fighting rages close to the hospital. They just cant transfer him to a plastic surgeon. Medicine and supplies are running low. If the war still one more week or more than this, we will need to we dont have enough for the injured. The fight for gaza has become a dirty war. No sanctuary for the innocent. The situation is very dangerous. No place in gaza strip, no even one square meter is safe in gaza strip. Dr. Al masri is afraid he like others could be killed anytime so he carries his i. D. Everywhere. Youre preparing for death, as well . Yeah, we are preparing ourself for death. Men dazed with amputated limbs. A child with head trauma battling to get up. Many medics tell me only faith can keep them on their feet. Got to even we work sometimes 20 hours continuous. Reporter but even the call of god drowned out by the agony. Karl penhaul, cnn, gaza. You look at the images in that story. I mean, regardless of what side youre on in this battle, you just hope that the cease fire will lead to longer lasting peace. Absolutely. And certainly those medical professionals need a break. They need the time. Trying to help save lives there. Coming up here, the story of one couples nightmare journey. One no parent should ever have to take. Their daughter was on board flight 17 and now they found themselves in a dangerous and unfamiliar territory. And as if their job isnt hard enough already, new pressure apparently being placed on the few investigators who have been given access to the flight 17 crash scene. Thats ahead.

Now for the latest on the crash of Malaysia Airlines flight 17. 38 more coffins are expected to arrive in the netherlands in the coming hours. 193 of the 290 people 98 people i should say on board that flight were dutch citizens. That country has also taken the lead in the investigation. Meanwhile the organization for security and cooperation in europe says pro russia rebels have indicated theyre growing weary of having investigators at the site and they want their work to be wrapped up very soon. Dont know the if that will happen. The netherlands and australia are trying to negotiate with the separatists to allow their Police Forces acis esto the disaster scene. The United States, ukraine and the west suspect the rebels of bringing down the plane with the russia supplied surfacetoair missile. The separatists deny that theyre responsible. To give au dale of just how tense the situation is there on the ground, between International Observers and rebels, we want to hear now some of what one osce representative in Eastern Ukraine had to say. Here it is. It has not been secured since day one. And it probably wont be secured because it is such a big area. It is in a conflict zone. Wolf, we went there today about dutch and australian investigators. And we actually did cover a lot of territory. We did see a lot. And we saw things like personal belongings, and we actually were told by the rebels that yes, they see the fuselage, the debris laying there for another week or so and then it will be time for it to be moved. What theyre expecting it for a group of maybe 25 to 35 International Experts to supervise the removal of that debris so that its finally removed from their territory. At least thats the sense we got from them today. It was quite an astonishing piece of news. Theres a lot of diplomatic activity going on very many different levels. But that is what we were told on the ground today. When you consider all of the uncertainty and tension at the flight 17 crash site, many would be hard pressed to actually want to make the journey there. But for one australian couple whose daughter was a passenger, the uncertainty was just too much. Kyung lah has their story. Go, go, go. You need to go. George and angel la can almost feel their daughter. Theyre that close but they cant get there. Couple minutes. Couple of minutes. Please. These men are local Ukrainian Government officials urging these parents to not enter the prorussian rebel held territory of donetsk. They flew by themselves to ukraine from australia with nothing other than shock and grief. There are battles around those places. We have to go. Theres no other way. Their 25yearold daughter fatima was aboard flight 17 flying to australia to see them. And we go because yeah, we go. With an outrageous disregard of the crash scene from the very beginning, and only black bags and unmarked coffins coming out, they have chosen to grieve with denial. And we believe shes alive. Every second counts. Every second. And our purpose is to find fatima. Exactly. It doesnt help to us be angry. I need to see the real fact so thats why we came. Besides that our daughter promised we will find her. As mom and dad. So this is the mom and dad. They poured their lives into their only child. She was an Aerospace Engineer who dreamed of being an astronaut. She believes Space Exploration could help bring stability to earth. The experience of space flight is a lifechanging event. How can you let a child like that go . There is an urgency because my my believe that shes alive cannot be sustained if this takes 30 days. Frustration mounting as the minutes tick by. No chance to come. We come back. And these government rebels get embassies on the phone to talk to them. You have not sorted this out. Please do not contact me anymore. Our daughter is there. We are running out of time. So the risk we know, no worries. Finally, theyre told to go at their own rick. This private car promises to drive them through the battle lines of rebelheld territory. Where a parents love has no boundaries. They reached out to us and say they managed to make it past all the rebel checkpoints and are now in the town of donetsk. This weekend they plan on trying to make it to the crash site. Counseling law, cnn, ukraine. You could feel that familys frustration. Oh, my goodness. So sad. How difficult it must have been to make that journey. I can imagine ha tlaelts so many other parents and family members that feel compelled to go but know they cant go. And my goodness, what they would see there. French troops are at the crash site of air algier rays passenger jet. Experts there trying to work out what brought the plane down. Well give you latest in a moment. Abe get in punch it let quicken loans help you save your money. With a mortgage thats engineered to amaze thanks, g. French troops have now reached the remote north african site where an air algerie ray passenger jet crashed en route 0 algiers on thursday. Twisted wreckage litters the area. The troops report there were no survivors. What remains is the mystery of exactly what happened to that jetliner. Al goodman files this report. Reporter this is the wreckage of air al jere flight 5017, not much left. The passengers and crew from 15 different nations. None survived. This man a nursing assistant in canada, says he bought tickets for his wife and their two young sons to leave behind burke kin na fas so and to start a new life with him in quebec. My wife said she preferred to come sooner. I said it will be okay. Maybe if i canceled, taken something sooner. It was an overnight flight from burkina faso to algiers but less than an hour into the journey, the pilot requested a route change due to bad weather, authorities said. Contact was soon lost. Severe storms are common in the area. French troops in the region supporting the government of malis struggle against armed islamist militants recovered one of the aircrafts data recorders and the remains of the passengers. Nearly half were french citizens. Translator what we already know is that the planes debris is concentrated in a limited area. But it is still too early to draw any conclusions. There are hypothese sees including weather conditions but we are not putting any of them aside because we want to find out everything that happened. The French Foreign and defense ministers offered Additional Details but no conclusions. They said relatives of the french victims would meet in paris. The algerian transportation minister said mali would lead the crash investigation with help from his country and france. Interpol has also offered to help. Here in madrid shock and sadness at shift wear which operated the aircraft for air al jere. The flight crew all spanish, the pilots described as experienced. Al goodman, cnn, madrid. So the question there still was weather a factor and investigators will be looking into that. Well, we turn to the weather now and other parts of the world. More heavy rain on the way for an already soaked if i means. Our meteorologist ivan cabrera has that for us. We have the southwest monsoon. We get the moisture pulled in from the South China Sea on a southwesterly wind flow. The heaviest rain flow this time of year. What happens is between june and november, sometimes well get a surge in the monsoon. That can happen when a Tropical Cyclone positions it self to the northeast of the philippines because of its counterclockwise flow on the southwestern flank. It pulls in additional moisture from the South China Sea. That strengthens the rains. Could be quite heavy at times and more widespread, as well. Thats likely going to happen over the next couple of days. With this feature that weve been monitoring, that will likely become our next tropical depression, perhaps even get a name. Its not going to head into the philippines. It doesnt need to. When it positions itself to the north and east, sometimes it can be worse than a direct hit because if its a Tropical Storm and keeps going, then the rain stops. Look at this here. This computer model forecast, were getting very excited about this storm here. Probably a little bit overdone but well have to see. Sometimes this one does well. But look at the bands coming in. See that moisture getting drawn up . A perfect example of the southwest monsoon urge we get in the philippines and sometimes can lead to flooding. Theyve been dealing with significant rains as of late. We have another system back in the western pacific that could develop heading into next week. Well monitor that. And then we have rains along the front that is pretty typical for this time of year. More showers and thunderstorms exploding through the afternoon across the southeastern provinces of china extending up and into parts of japan, as well although not doing as badly there. You can see the rains from shanghai. Looks to be positioned right on top of you here for a wet weekend for the remainder of it. For the rest of us, its been hot. Temperatures running a good 5 degrees. Not terribly so but nevertheless, this time of year, it is summer and we generally run into the low 30s. Look at japan on friday. 37 degrees. That will be the trend over the next few days. Well continue with temperatures, guys, in the 30s and bob average for some areas. We are following breaking news from the middle east where israel and hamas have agreed to a cease fire. Fair to say a very delicate situation. Both sides continue trading fire right up till the deadline. Well bring you all details straight ahead. Also ahead, protests in the west bank take a violent turn.
