Back to the crash site where they say dozens of bodies remain. We are live with what investigators are finding. Welcome to early start. Im john berman. Im Christine Romans. It is august 1, 4 00 a. M. In the east. Up first, the sound of silence in gaza. We are three hours into a 72 hour ceasefire. A ceasefire brokered by the u. N. And the United States. So far, it appears to be holding. It is a much needed pause of a bloody, 24 day Israeli Offensive with hamas. During this period, civilian wills receive relief and op twopoint toy carry out vital functions, including burying the dead, taking care of the injured and restocking food supplies. Gaza is reeling after air strikes on schools, a marketplace and the regions only power plant. 400 palestinians have been killed in the conflict. That has tensions escalating between israel and the u. N. 103 u. N. Facilities have come under attack, including a school hosting over 3,300 displaced yesterday. 19 people were killed and over 100 injured. The United Nations has lost seven staff and other humanitarian workers have been killed since the outbreak of hostilities. The reality of gaza today is that no place is safe. We have live in jerusalem this morning. Three hours, it appears to be holding. It is calm and quiet behind you, saima. Yes, christine. So far, so good for the people in israel and gaza affected by the fighting over the last three weeks. A crucial ceasefire. A humanitarian one with the emphasis on the word humanitarian. As we have been hearing, so many people affected. People unable to bury their dead. People who, 200,000 at least in u. N. Shelter who is will be able to come out, head home, survey the damage, perhaps reunite with loved ones, then of course, the vital functions, as secretary of state john kerry puts it, getting access to water, food, replenishing their stock. They dont know when the mighting might start again. I spoke to someone from the area out in gaza saying look, our priority right now is getting the people who are injured, who have been unable to get the medical attention they need in gaza out and getting more medical equipment in, all the while, this is a crucial ceasefire, christine, because of the politicking going on spearheaded by the United States, the United Nations and the negotiations set to take place in cairo. Crucial metings between the two fighting sides. What we understand is a delegation from gaza is already on the way to cairo. That constitutes hamas, islamic jihad. We are not sure from the israeli side who is going there. This is a major breakthrough. For the first time, they are willing to not only pause in fighting, but come to the table to talk. I last emphasized Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu made it clear that with or without a ceasefire, ceasefire or no ceasefire, the israelis will carry on targeting hamas tunnels. We do not know if its using dynamite or diggers. There may be explosions to target the tunnels, not fighting. Christine . Thank you. Other big news, the latest on the deadly Ebola Outbreak that killed hundreds in west africa. This is exclusive cnn video of a federal jet with an isolation pod leaving for liberia. It will bring home two affected americans. This marks the first time that diagnosed ebola patients have been knowingly in the United States. Lets bring in David Mckenzie now live in johannesburg, south africa. This is a big move. Reporter it is a big move. It will be interesting to see how they manage to authorize the flight. I suspect senior officials got the go ahead. The volunteers helping treat ebola patients or help them have been infected and are in isolation. Now, we dont know where that jet is. Presumably, its making its way to the scene to try to extract the two americans out, take them to a University Hospital into an isolation ward. Experts say that if its managed properly, this should pt present a threat to the wider public. Yes, extremely cig nsignificant. The first known cases of ebola getting into the United States soil. This would be the next move in a very, very alarming outbreak which has affected thousands in multiple countries in west africa. John . We dont know if they were on the plane or on the way home. A lot is dependent on how they are doing at the time. As for the situation on the ground, how overwhelmed are the medical professionals there . Well, john, they say they are very much overwhelmed. Liberia, in particular has seen several of the North Carolina based charity shut down actions in their clinics. This is a complex disease to deal with and deadly. It has been described recently as out of control affecting three countries, possibly a fourth. This is the worst outbreak of ebola we have ever seen. The authorities are asking for any help they can get. Take a listen. Very, very difficult when i heard because they have lost a lot of their colleagues in the process and the moral is down. It is their job. Reporter the cdc escalated their alert to level three thats the highest possible alert saying no essential travel should happen to those west african countries. For now, the Airline Associations saying there shouldnt be curtailing of flights in and out. They say and doctors say the risk is relatively low to passengers on plane that is might have an infected ebola patient on it. Globally, increased screening of passengers and worry that the Ebola Outbreak might spread further. For the countries in question, hundreds have died. Thousands are protected. Theres no end in sight to the outbreak of this deadly disease. John . David mckenzie, thank you very much. We are going to keep our eyes on this. As many as 80 bodies may be in the wreckage of flight 17. Investigators finally reaching the site. They witnessed human remains across the field. They are hoping to return today, possibly with cadaver dogs, if its safe. As we were leaving the site. We had bombs raining down upon us. Its very, very tricky. We are hoping that our kind of, again, our custom made ceasefire that gives us the type of protective cocoon will endear and allow us to get in and out. Kelli is live in kiev. For awhile, there were international monitors. Their job wasnt to secure the site, only to look at it. They had trouble getting in. Now you have investigators needing to get in and do an investigation. You need to collect the human remains and get them out of there. We are far from that, arent we . Reporter indeed, christine, a long way away from that. That small team that got access to the crash site was there for only a little over an hour. They were only able to assess the scene and get the idea of logistics. The idea of the task they are faced with. Whether they are going to be able to bring cadaver dogs in there and personnel. This is still a battle zone around that crash site. It remains very difficult. Four teams, particularly a convoy in the dutch led Investigation Team is aware that the security situation is unstable. This morning in kiev, we are hearing about more battles, ten battles that occurred in that region in 24 showers. There was a clash between ukrainian soldiers and separatists. Thats just 3 kilometers outside the ceasefire zone. Very volatile situation on the ground. Indeed, the investigators need to get there and carry out their probe, bring back any remains at the site. This is not just a couple days. This could take weeks. Whether or not the truce is going to hold to carry out that vital work remains unclear. Certainly unsettling if theres activity 3 kilometers. That cocoon sounds dangerous. Thank you. Republican leaders in the house in a stand off with Tea Party Supporters on immigration.

Big drama on capitol hill this morning. A tape of bill clinton on the day before 9 11. Hes talking about having passed on a chance to kill osama bin laden. This recording just surfaced in australia.

Even choose 48 months interestfree financing on the new tempurchoice. The triple choice sale ends soon at sleep train. Two americans suffering from ebola set to leave africa for the United States. This will set extraordinary precautions. The cdc has an isolation pod on a plane designed to keep everyone around them infection free. Tom foreman takes a closer look. Reporter transporting a patient with a deadly disease like ebola is possible, but potential risks. This plane with speeshl gear inside makes all the difference. Lets explain. If you are bringing a patient across like this, this is what you want. You want a special room built inside the plane, completely enclosed in plastic so nothing can get in or out. The airplane is negative. Its higher out there than in here. If there is a rip, the air will flow in, nothing will go out. This is not an airborne disease. Lets get rid of the plastic and talk about the second layer of protection. Inside, a doctor, a nurse, anesthesiologi anesthesiologist, all of them are going to be wearing special protective gear and the patient, too, will be covered in another layer of protection, a special framework around the bed so even though they are monitoring his heart rate and respiration and keeping track of his temperature, its done hands off here. And, even if he develops the violent vomiting or bleeding, they have to treat him by reaching in with special gloves inside. Everything had to stay inside. The fluids have to be collected and kept inside here. Thats whats so deadly here. As much as they want to save the life of one person, with a disease like this, they have to be so careful to not allow it to come in contact with others. Incredible effort. Thanks to tom. What an operation. Breaking news, silence over gaza. A 72 hour ceasefire has begun. Will this ceasefire last and what is the end game for both party snsz we are live in jerusalem after the break.

Happening now, investigators returning to the crash site of Malaysia Airlines flight 17, set to reclaim dozens of bodies. Its dangerous ahead of them. We are live in ukraine with the latest. Welcome to early start, im Christine Romans. Im john jonl. Its 30 minutes after the hour. We want to welcome everyone from the United States and around the world. The sound of air strikes and rocket fire replaced by silence in gaza. We are 3 1 2 hours into a 72 hour humanitarian ceasefire brokered by the United Nations and the United States. So far, it appears to be holding. This is a much needed pause after the bloody 24day conflict between israel and hamas. Saima mohsin live with the latest on this ceasefire. 3 1 2 hours so far. Reporter yeah, john, the very fact that we are counting the ceasefire hourbyhour shows how delicate in nature it is. We have had ceasefires before. The longest 12 hours. People are starting to come out in gaza. But, with huge trepidation. You know, they are worried there might be fighting. The ceasefire might be broken. They are coming out slowly, but surely. While we talk a humanitarian ceasefire, we talk silence in gaza. Its a tough time for people there. They have been trapped there. Many of them in shelters. Many unable to get to their homes. They are going to try to pick through the wreckage to see whats left of their belongings, find loved ones, locate those they havent been able to get in touch with. As john kerry puts it, get back to trying to get to vital functions like food, water, electricity as well. Theres going to be a lot of repairs as well going on. John . Whats interesting about this pause, saima is its a chance to talk in cairo, not israel speaking to hamas directly, but through intermediaries. These discussions might lead to something more permanent. Reporter absolutely. All the politics, back channel negotiation that is have been going on over the last few weeks now coming to the front spearheaded by the United States, the United Nations and intermediaries in cairo. We understand the delegation from gaza is on the way to cairo already. That constitutes hamas, islamic jihad. They rep zen the palestinian side of things. We are not sure who is going to represent the israeli delegation, but a delegation is planning two heads to cairo. They are still waiting and watching and seeing how this ceasefire goes. But, as you say, a major breakthrough they are willing to talk. Of course hamas was refusing to stop the ceasefire. They said it would not stop firing rockets until israel ended the blockade of gaza. They seem to have shifted as far as thats concerned. On the israeli side, Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, saying look,
