Being on. Lets reset at the top of the hour now. Im anderson cooper. Thank you for joining us. Were following two major breaking stories that the hour. The downing of Malaysian Airlines flight 17 that killed 298 people in ukraine. And im wolf blitzer reporting from jerusalem. The other major story, the breaking story we were following, the crisis in gaza, where israel launched a major ground offensive and it continues. A lot to get you up to date on in this hour. President obama today laying out the priorities and the aftermath of the Airline Crash in the ukraine. The priorities, learning the truth first, he say then acting. There has to be a credible International Investigation into what happened. The u. N. Security council has endorsed this investigation and we will hold all its members, including russia, to their word. In order to facilitate that investigation. Russia, prorussian separatists
and ukraine must adhere to an immediate ceasefire. Evidence must not be tampered with. Inves
kiev is seen in rebel eyes as fabricated, as intended to essentially to draw nato into ukraine. that s the understanding. the rebels think ukrainians want to establish more precedent to involve nato forces in ukraine in order to escalate western involvement and western attachment to the new government in kiev. is there anything else you want people to know about the crash site, about what is happening there right now? you know, i think one, for me, the important thing to note is there s still a lot of work to be done in order to secure the bodies. there s a lot of people talking about talking about the parts of the plane. talking about establishing evidence chains in order to have a proper investigation.
