:00:00. > :00:00.Utterly adorable. Time now for a look at the news as
:00:00. > :00:07.seen across the United States a couple of hours ago, in ABC World
:00:08. > :00:14.News with Dianne Sawyer. Welcome. Burning outrage for the
:00:15. > :00:19.passenger plane shot out of the sky as evidence closes in on Russia. The
:00:20. > :00:30.remains of those lost begin the long journey home. Burning up, the record
:00:31. > :00:34.heat and a giant fire incinerating houses. Texas sense in the National
:00:35. > :00:41.Guard to stop the search, many of their mother and children, pouring
:00:42. > :00:45.in. Flip`flop? How would you know Chris White before you buy the fixed
:00:46. > :00:46.at home, too you know what is hiding behind the walls `` how would you
:00:47. > :00:58.know ? Good evening. It is good to start
:00:59. > :01:03.the week with you. As we come on air, strange stories coming from
:01:04. > :01:08.Russia about the passenger plane blown out of the sky. Stories that
:01:09. > :01:13.seem to show the Russian government squirming as evidence points their
:01:14. > :01:16.way. All of this happening tonight as the remains of those on board the
:01:17. > :01:23.plane are beginning the long journey home. That is where we start with
:01:24. > :01:29.our correspondent at the crash site in Ukraine. The latest from
:01:30. > :01:32.investigators now. Finally, after four days of rebel
:01:33. > :01:37.obstruction and outrage at the scene, the professionals showed up
:01:38. > :01:39.today, a 3`man forensics team from the Netherlands joined by
:01:40. > :01:43.international monitors, still surrounded by armed rebels at
:01:44. > :01:49.bringing a bit of order to the chaos. Investigators have just
:01:50. > :01:53.arrived at the major impact site scattered here. They are taking
:01:54. > :01:58.pictures, walking around, getting a sense of what they can learn. The
:01:59. > :02:05.head, a daunting task, searching for signs of shrapnel or residue or
:02:06. > :02:11.tell`tale damage scattered across a 13 square miles site that is already
:02:12. > :02:14.compromised. Including rebels rummaging through the personal
:02:15. > :02:22.belongings of victims last week. Earlier, the Dutch team examined the
:02:23. > :02:27.bodies, 289 of the 298 on`board now recovered and stored in refrigerated
:02:28. > :02:31.cars in a local village. Tonight, the train left for Kharkiv, where
:02:32. > :02:36.identifications will take place. And then, finally, the victims will be
:02:37. > :02:41.flown home. Today, a Dutch mother captured the heartbreak of so many.
:02:42. > :02:51.When I am in my bed at night, I see my son lying on the ground. I see
:02:52. > :02:57.them in my head. At this Security Council, a unanimous vote including
:02:58. > :03:02.Russia, calling for an international investigation. The Dutch Foreign
:03:03. > :03:05.Minister visibly outraged. To my dying day, I will not understand
:03:06. > :03:11.that it took so much time for rescue workers to be allowed to do their
:03:12. > :03:16.difficult jobs. President Obama ratcheted up the pressure on
:03:17. > :03:20.Vladimir Putin to rein in rebels. Russia and President Putin in
:03:21. > :03:23.particular has responsibility to compel them to co`operate with the
:03:24. > :03:27.investigation, that is the least they can do. The rebels have had the
:03:28. > :03:31.black boxes, the flight recorders from the plane, four days. Tonight,
:03:32. > :03:35.finally, they have turned them over to Malaysian investigators.
:03:36. > :03:41.Everyone wondering what the bosses will show. It brings us to the
:03:42. > :03:46.urgent push for answers `` black boxes. Who took down the plane and
:03:47. > :03:51.why? What role did Russia play? Our correspondent with the newest clues
:03:52. > :04:00.tonight. In a setting reminiscent of Soviet
:04:01. > :04:10.Iraq commanders, what happened in the flight? `` era. The officials
:04:11. > :04:14.said Ukraine bomber was near the jetliner and could have shot it
:04:15. > :04:22.down. Current and former US officials called that nonsense.
:04:23. > :04:24.Every fighter pilot in the world probably burst out laughing when
:04:25. > :04:32.they were accused of shooting down anything. As was reported by the new
:04:33. > :04:36.Republic, Russian media is putting out more implausible theories. That
:04:37. > :04:39.Ukraine shot down the plane because they thought it was President
:04:40. > :04:44.Putin's official aircraft, or that it was full of already dead or these
:04:45. > :04:52.blown up by the US over Ukraine to provoke a war with Russia. Whenever
:04:53. > :04:56.they are caught, they make up lies to confuse people. The evidence
:04:57. > :05:06.tying Russia to the shootdown mounts from four different sources.
:05:07. > :05:10.Photographs Ukraine says it shows a Russian launcher in a village nearby
:05:11. > :05:15.before the shootdown. Then, a trail of white smoke after the launch.
:05:16. > :05:19.Electronic intelligence from US satellites showing the launcher as
:05:20. > :05:25.it turns on its radar to acquire the target and fires. Then, telephone
:05:26. > :05:27.intercepts said why US to be from Russian and rebel commanders.
:05:28. > :05:33.Catching their surprise when they learn it was a passenger jet, not a
:05:34. > :05:37.military plane that was shot down. Finally, video evidence of that
:05:38. > :05:40.Ukraine says shows the missile launch a sneaking back into Russia
:05:41. > :05:50.with only two of its original format missiles on board. As to the black
:05:51. > :05:59.boxes, the intercepts caught the Russians telling them to hide the
:06:00. > :06:05.black Ox is. `` boxes. Next, we turn to another big story. In Gaza,
:06:06. > :06:09.Israel wages a ground incursion to destroy the labyrinth of tunnels
:06:10. > :06:12.built by their enemy, Hamas. The White House warns Israel about the
:06:13. > :06:18.rising number of civilian casualties. People of Gaza are
:06:19. > :06:27.desperate, saying that nowhere, not even a hospital is safe. Evacuating
:06:28. > :06:33.the wounded from `` from a house, but from a hospital. A surgical ward
:06:34. > :06:37.was OK. Ambulances pour into the hospital to evacuate patients to the
:06:38. > :06:41.main hospital. There is a fear that hospitals are being targeted. At
:06:42. > :06:48.least four were killed. We went to see the destruction. It was hit
:06:49. > :06:54.again. Everyone is told to head downstairs. Staff took refuge on the
:06:55. > :07:01.ground floor. Civilians are doing out on. We are doctors and nurses.
:07:02. > :07:05.We are not doing anything. Israel said they were aiming for anti`tank
:07:06. > :07:12.missiles stored nearby. The strike was part of the offensive whose
:07:13. > :07:18.objective is to destroy Hamas's elaborate matrix of underground
:07:19. > :07:21.tunnels, some over a mile long. Israel using airstrikes and
:07:22. > :07:24.explosives. Those tunnels used by Palestinian militants to infiltrate
:07:25. > :07:28.into Israel. Attacking Israeli forces and killing four, bringing
:07:29. > :07:35.the total number of Israeli soldiers killed to 25. Including two Israeli
:07:36. > :07:42.Americans. This as the Palestinian death toll tops 560, including this
:07:43. > :07:47.morning, 24 members of one family, killed by Israeli shelling. And, a
:07:48. > :07:51.few hours ago, John Kerry arrived in Cairo to work with regional allies
:07:52. > :07:53.on a ceasefire deal. Both sides say they want one, but neither shows any
:07:54. > :08:07.willingness to compromise. Back at home, the heat. A new
:08:08. > :08:11.statistic about I'm a change. Today we learned that last month clocked
:08:12. > :08:16.in as the single hottest June on Earth since scientist started
:08:17. > :08:20.gathering records in 1880. 134 years ago. And in the Midwest, a lot of
:08:21. > :08:26.Americans were feeling it. Penn State under heat advisory. A slice
:08:27. > :08:37.of the country from North Dakota to Texas. And in Minneapolis, the dew
:08:38. > :08:43.point, which is amazed `` art measure of how muddy it is, was off
:08:44. > :08:47.the charts. In western Oregon, four separate fires merged, joining
:08:48. > :08:50.forces to become what the governor described as a fire storm beyond
:08:51. > :08:57.human imagination, four times the size of Seattle. Our correspondent
:08:58. > :09:02.was there tonight. Entire neighbourhoods reduced to ash, more
:09:03. > :09:06.than 1600 firefighters from across the country now on the front lines
:09:07. > :09:12.of this tends battle. What began last Monday as four small fires
:09:13. > :09:17.sparked by lightning exploded into a massive inferno, scorching more than
:09:18. > :09:20.380 square miles, four times the size of Seattle. Some of the
:09:21. > :09:30.clearest pictures of the fire came by drone. Flames levelled some homes
:09:31. > :09:34.but spared others. This man lost his dream home, purchased just three
:09:35. > :09:41.weeks ago. Trying to look on the positive side. I have been in tears.
:09:42. > :09:46.It has taken days for fire crews to get enough manpower. Now these
:09:47. > :09:50.Blackhawk helicopters are making strategic water drops, while cruise
:09:51. > :09:56.on the ground dig through the earth to build medical fire lines. And the
:09:57. > :10:00.military is pitching in as well. These aeroplanes seen in prior
:10:01. > :10:04.missions are standing by at the ready. All that is left at this
:10:05. > :10:07.burnt out home is the chimney. Or the first time, firefighters say
:10:08. > :10:11.they are making progress thanks to calmer winds and lower temperatures.
:10:12. > :10:16.But they say it could be weeks before the fire is fully contained.
:10:17. > :10:21.This fire in Washington State tonight. We now had to Texas, where
:10:22. > :10:25.the Governor says he is sending the National Guard to stop the surge of
:10:26. > :10:31.undocumented immigrants, many of them children, crossing the border.
:10:32. > :10:34.Today Rick Perry says that enough lip service has been heard from
:10:35. > :10:37.Washington. He is going to take action. Our correspondent is back on
:10:38. > :10:44.the story for us tonight. Governor Perry calls it operation strong
:10:45. > :10:49.safety, but critics say it is close to operation symbolic act. 1000
:10:50. > :10:55.National Guard troops over the next month, who by law cannot make any
:10:56. > :11:01.arrests, and will instead act as a visual deterrent. To be a force
:11:02. > :11:04.multiplier, to be there as a partner with law enforcement. The Texas
:11:05. > :11:07.general in charge confirms his troops cannot physically detained or
:11:08. > :11:14.send any immigrants back across the border.
:11:15. > :11:19.We are planning on referring and deterrent. And the weapons the
:11:20. > :11:23.guards carry cannot be used to stop illegal immigration. You're not
:11:24. > :11:29.allowed to fire on someone who is fleeting. All of which makes it
:11:30. > :11:32.clear the guard is not needed. I do not see the National Guard being
:11:33. > :11:36.particularly helpful in this instance. The problem is not
:11:37. > :11:39.detaining immigrants, they are giving themselves up. The problem is
:11:40. > :11:44.where to put them. Neither the Governor nor the guard could help
:11:45. > :13:07.with that today. Up next, we will show you what is hiding behind some
:13:08. > :13:13.And so now to Massachusetts, and an update on the fiery crash which
:13:14. > :13:18.injured five passengers riding in a hotair balloon. This weekend's
:13:19. > :13:22.accident caught on camera, and today two victims were treated for loans
:13:23. > :13:25.but released from hospital. The video shows them helpless as they
:13:26. > :13:32.drifted into exploding powerlines, and here is our correspondent.
:13:33. > :13:36.Tonight, a family is lucky to be a live, and looking for a answer is,
:13:37. > :13:43.after a weekend hot`air balloon ride went from idyllic to this. Look
:13:44. > :13:49.again. As the balloon hit powerlines, sparking a giant
:13:50. > :13:55.fireball. Residents below were unable to help. Then, seconds later,
:13:56. > :14:01.another explosion. Just moments earlier, the passengers, family
:14:02. > :14:08.members celebrating a birthday floating above the suburban streets.
:14:09. > :14:14.Where do you live? The balloon then crash landing in Dennis McDonald's

:15:21. > :15:27.to see something in the distance. And yes, that is the heading towards
