he did it to promote peace and face awareness of children facing violence. >> good cause. >> got to see 46 countries. >> road trip. >> road trip on your feet. >> 11 years, what was he doing? >> wonder if he has one of the pedometers show you how many steps he took. bye everybody. hope we'll see you back here tomorrow. jon: and good morning monday to you. i'm jon scott. jenna: where were you last week? were you walking around the world as well. jon: driving madly in northern italy. we'll talk about that late. jenna: we're glad you're with us, everybody. the team is back. i'm jenna lee. happening now, one of the worst race car tragedieses ever kills two-time indy champ dan wheldon at the las vegas speedway. >> oh, multiple cars involved. jenna: his car, one of those cars bursting into flames

sunday after a chain-reaction crash involved more than a dozen in the race there. the smashup sending his car flying through the air before it slammed against a wall and exploded. the. jon: rescue workers on the scene quickly, airlifting wheldon to the hospital. the 33-year-old champion died surrounded by his wife and two young sons. other drivers overwhelmed by the loss. >> i can't, i think about, i'm just thinking about suzie and the boys and i think about them i'm struggling to hold it together. but he, yeah. i don't know what else to say. >> just ask everybody else to pray because the family is the one say stays and families suffer most of it. so, that's the way, that -- unfortunately it is hard. we've got to accept. jon: casey stiegel is following the story live from our los angeles bureau. casey, i guess there were

already safety questions ahead of this race, huh? >> reporter: jon, you bet. some of the drivers reportedly expressed concern about the number about of cars on the field. 34 cars involved in yesterday's race. also concerns being raised about the speeds in which they were traveling. about 223 miles an hour. dan wheldon's car, number, 77, is highlighted in the video that you're about to see. it is all obviously so dramatic, caught on camera. and really happening in the blink of an eye. you can see there was nothing he could do to avoid hitting the other cars that had already crashed. and that is why those safety concerns were brought up. they say because the field was so crowded there was little room for error. wheldon's car then went airborne and slammed into what is known as the catch fence. look at the sparks in these still pictures. they also show the cars literally breaking into pieces. even though he was just 33

years old, dan wheldon had already been considered a legend in the world of racing. he won 16 times in his indy car career, a career cut terribly short. >> everybody is in shock and it is the risk that comes with the support but it is a huge loss to the whole indy car and family. >> i have seen something like that. and the answer is you never, you don't want to see stuff like that. >> i don't remember a lot of cars being here -- >> it hurts. you don't come to the races to see stuff like that. >> the remainder of yesterday's race was canceled, something that is extremely, extremely rare, jon. jon: stakes are always high in this kind of racing but particularly high at this event, huh? >> reporter: yeah, especially for wheldon. he was racing for a $5 million bonus. he also had to start at the back of the field yesterday as part of a special race promotion but he quickly

come up through the pack. the british driver was also supposed to sign a brand new contract following that race. he was going to rejoin andretti auto sports, the same team he won the indianapolis 500 for back in 2005. wheldon lived in florida. he was just married in 2008. had two small children. his youngest son was just born in march, jon. jon: i had the pleasure of meeting him just a couple years ago at a charity event for the national guard youth foundation. just a great guy. didn't know him well, obviously, that one event. >> reporter: right. >> great guy and human being. he will be sorely missed. casey stiegel. >> reporter: john, 33 years old but already a legend. jon: so sad. thanks, casey. >> reporter: yeah. jenna: we'll turn to some politics now. fox news is america's

election headquarters and 2012 hopeful herman cain has certainly been on a roll as of late. tonight he will hold a news conference in arizona. after seeing a big surge in the polls he is vowing to challenge rival rick perry for the critical evangelical vote. karl rove, former chief of staff to president george w. bush and fox news contributor. he is here to talk about a whole host of things. karl, before we go to which candidate goes after which group i love your opinion on this look at herman cain's policy, his strategy and the money, is he a serious contender? >> in some ways yes. in other ways he has yet to prove how serious a contender. he has an interesting idea grabbed attention. the more attention 9-9-9 gets i'm not sure how much more support it generates. it may generate people dropping away for him. people figuring out a 9% sales tax is 9% federal sales tax on top of the local sales tax they already

pay. that is causing people consternation. he does have momentum, does have passion, does have enthusiasm, doesn't have much in the way of money and doesn't have much of a presence in the early states that make-or-break a candidate, iowa, new hampshire, south carolina. in two of those states, iowa and south carolina he has good numbers you have to go there and lock those numbers in with organization, presence and people on the ground. jenna: talk a little bit about the money you just brought up. you of course are a part of a group american crossroads. a pac, political action committee, raises money to put to work for certain election cycles like this one. do you have a strategy for 2012? where are you putting that money? do you know now?. >> we have a goal of $240 million. we raised $72 million in 29 weeks in 2010. many of our donars are back. we anticipate with a hard effort we'll get to where we need to be and plan the presidential race, senate races and congressional race. >> so that is not done yet? >> no it is not done and

went be done until the end. we already spent this year 16 1/2 million dollars issue advocacy advertising during the debt ceiling debate. we anticipate having a large war chest to battle back, march, april, may, that the president will come back after the republican nominee whoever he or she is and the republican nominee will be out of gas and cash we'll be there to defend him. jenna: mitt romney and rick perry, when you look at herman cain it can be made up different ways for example, through pacs. led the segment talking a little bit about the evangelical group and the courting of this group. does the republican presidential nominee, do they need to have this group? is this a do-or-die group for whoever gets the nomination? >> yeah, well look it is an important part of the republican coalition. it plays a disproportionate role in iowa because in iowa, about 60% of the of the people who turn out in these caucuses in typical years are self-described evangelicals. so what herman cain is

suggesting here he is going to go toe-to-toe with rick perry who he announced and also he didn't announce her but michele bachmann has a good strength among this group in iowa and as does rick santorum. so this may be a signal that he, herman cain is now going to participate in iowa. he will be there saturday night. that is the first time since august 13th that he showed up in this first in the state, first in the nation contest and he has to be in iowa if he hopes to be a serious contender. jenna: sounds like you're saying he hasn't spent enough time there? that makes you wary? >> he hasn't spent enough time in any critical states. think about this. last week he was in tennessee for a bus tour. he had been in texas doing a book toumplt he has been very open about the fact he is selling a book. that kept him in states like texas and tennessee, kept him out of states like iowa, south carolina and new hampshire, florida and nevada that vote early. jenna: quick final question

here. david axelrod on sunday shows over the weekend specifically mentioned romney is not mentioning any other candidates. is this a good call for the president's team to go after a specific republican contender or would you suggest against that. >> you know, why does he want to be a candidate all the time? why doesn't he want-to-be president. the most powerful image is a strong, confident leader being president. instead the obama white house and team obama is thrown away that image and makes him look like another grasping politician on a bus tour attacking republicans even though they don't yet have nominee. he would advantage himself much more if he focused on his day job and let the politics come when the pomtics should come for him namely next spring when there is republican nominee. they weakened themselves appearing to be so grasping and so political so focused on the campaign at the expense of the country. jenna: have to leave it there, karl. >> thanks for having me, jenna, israel's supreme court is hearing arguments

against the release of more than 1,000 palestinian prisoners, some of them directly responsible for some of the worst terror attacks in recent times. in return for kidnapped israeli soldier gilad shalif, captured back until 2006 by militants in the gaza strip. meanwhile emotions running high throughout that nation as protesters on both side of the issue take to the strips. our leland vittert is live in jerusalem. leland. >> reporter: jon, it is a very high press as you mentioned. 1,000 to 1 but 80% of israeli citizens say we have to make the deal because there is feeling here in israel you do anything you can to bring a soldier home. but for the victims of those palestinian prisoners that are going to be released, this is a very bad deal. the sabaro pizza bombing in jerusalem killed 15. the attack in tel aviv killed more than 20, mostly teenagers. the hive fa bus 37 bombing

killed 17. now the men and women behind some of israel's most deadly and horrific you side attacks will go free. does that seem fair to you? >> it is not fair. it is not fair and it is not just. >> reporter: he is like many fathers who now feel betrayed by a government willing to trade hundreds of convicted killers for one young soldier. >> the state of israel first failed to protect my son and to prevent this terrorist act. now trading him and me the second time by releasing his murderers. >> reporter: the victim families are marching to the prime minister's office to go ahead and protest this deal. they have white flags with them. they say this is a deal that is basically a surrender to those people who have promised to kill more israelis. >> this deal is going to bring two things. one is more kidnapping and second, more terror attacks. i have three other children

who live in israel and i'm worried about their safety. >> reporter: history has a sad way of repeating itself here in the middle east. since the last major prisoner exchange the israelis tracked those people they gave back to the palestinians and since that time, jon they have been able to directly link those people to the deaths of 175 israelis. back to you. jon: leland individual earth, very thorny issue. jenna: racing community mourning today. could dan wheldon's death have been prevented? we'll look at that just ahead. jon: killer anthrax attacks, they spread fear across america in those jittery days after 9/11. 10 years later are we any better prepared for biological terrorism? jenna: that's a good question. an alarming new study about the dangers cell phones pose to your kids, next.

jon: obviously this morning there are a lot of new questions about indy car racing safety after the fiery crash that killed two-time indy champ dan wheldon. it is a sport that is of course inherently dangerous, even with the sweeping safety improvements put into place 10 years ago after the death of dale earnhardt. lars anderson, is senior writer with "sports illustrated.". dan, obviously after the earnhardt nascar crash and, you know, the changes that have been made to the indy cars, it was starting to feel like a fairly safe sport. it had been a long time since there had been a crash like that. what is this one going to say to the racing league? >> well, i think indy car needs to look long and hard whether or not they want to keep racing on the

high-speed oval tracks that were built specifically for nascar. in practice this weekend before the race the cars were reaching 224 miles an hour. you had had larger than usual field. you had 34 cars and you had some drivers there relatively inexperienced on the ovals. and several of the drivers before the race expressed fears that something really bad could happen. it only took, 11, 12, laps for this absolutely horrific accident to occur. jon: for our viewers might not be familiar with that that means, because they have banked oaf vals and put the pedal to the metal and not slow down the entire race. >> exactly. they don't lift off the goose for example. it is called pack racing and the cars are stuck really close together. in nascar they can touch and will not automatically wreck. if in indy cars touch with

the open wheels it will cause accidents and drivers to lose control and because of high speeds they don't have time to react from the spinning cars in front of them. jon: in the open cockpit, they don't have the safety of role cage that nascar drivers have. my understanding that protective loop sits behind his head actually snapped off his car and he died of massive head injuries? >> yeah. i believe he died when his head hit the side of the wall after he, after he went into the catch fence, his helmet and head hit the side of the wall as his car was coming back down to the ground. jon: he was starting at the back of the pack as part of this special $5 million challenge. if he won the race he was going to split that money with one of the fans. and, you know, irony he wasn't involved in any way in creating this terrible accident, was he? >> no. it was pretty much, oh, in creating the accident, no.

the accident occurred well in front of him and he just didn't have time to react. dan only raced part-time this year in the indycar series. he ended up winning the indy 500. he only participated in one other race. really what he wanted to go back and race full time next year. he got that sunday morning. andretti auto sport, one of the elite teams in indy car, signed him. he was going to take danica patrick's seat which is one of the most coveted seats in the sport. things were looking up for him. he has a wife and two small children. really one of the most charismatic figures in the sport. he did some color commentating for versa on the indy car races during the year that he sat out and, he did a really terrific job, and you know, a lot of people told him he has definitely a future in broadcasting. jon: right. >> that's what he wanted to do once he was done racing. jon: will there be changes? >> well, indy car will have

some time now to look long and hard whether or not they want to keep racing on these ovals. i would suspect, yeah, there will be some radical changes upcoming in the series. jon: i mentioned a couple of minutes ago that i had a chance to have dinner with him a couple years back at the national guard youth foundation. there he is on the left along with dale earnhardt, jr., they were both driving national guard racing cars at the time. two great guys. i tell you what, dan wheldon could not have been more gracious with the fans there that night. all around good guy. really made an impression on me even though i'm not a huge race fan but he was just an all around good guy. such a sad, sad loss. >> yes. jon: thanks very much for being with us. lars anderson from sports illustrated. >> prayers out to that family, his wife and two young babies that he had. speaking of families this is another one we've been watching very closely for an entirely different reason. there are some brand new revelations from the family, the parents of missing

11-month-old lisa irwin. what her mother is now saying about the night her baby disappeared. much more from megyn kelly's interview just ahead. plus, turning oversays, u.s. troops in afghanistan phasing new dangers. miss till attacks inside pakistan that they can't fire back. what does this mean for the war in afghanistan? we have that just ahead.

jon: in the midwest more twists and turns in the hunt for baby lisa as her mother, deborah bradley, makes a stunning admission by the night her daughter disappeared nearly two weeks ago. this comes as police say the parents have stopped cooperating. meantime missouri's governor assigned two dozen national guard troops to assist in the search right now. they are focusing on a large wooded area near the

family's home near kansas city. 11-month-old lisa last seen in her crib. but her mother is telling our own megyn kelly some brand new details about the night the baby vanished. >> some folks will have an issue having more or five drinks while you're looking after a baby and two little boys. >> i'm sure they are. she was sleeping. i don't see the problem having my grown-up time. i took good care of my kids. >> you admit you were drunk. how drunk were you? >> just drunk. >> were you slurring your words? were you stumbling? >> i don't think so, no. >> do you remember the period well? >> no. >> is it possible you had a blackout? >> it is a possibility. i mean, just like anybody else when you drink you don't remember the things that happened. jon: oy boy. megyn kelly will have much more on her interview with deborah bradley when she appears live next hour, happening now. jenna: we're looking forward to that new information

crossing our international desk. new reports u.s. troops in afghanistan are facing a huge increase in rocket attacks coming to them from inside pakistan. from one side of the border to another. "the new york times" reporting ground to ground rockets hit one military outpost at least a 55 times since may. this is as we get word of a surge in u.s. military activity near the tribal region right there at the border between pakistan and afghanistan. john hannah, is a senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracies. he works with vice president dick cheney. john, when you hear reports like this and you also say hear soldiers on the ground they're firing at us but we can't fire back. why can't we fire back? >> i think our starting point since 2001 in afghanistan, jenna, has been that pakistan is in essence an ally of the united states helping us to defeat the taliban, defeat al qaeda and stablize a new democratic afghanistan. i think the dirty little

secret we've all learned over the past several years is in fact with respect to afghanistan the united states wants to see the taliban lose while pakistan wants to see them win. that's a fundamental difference that we have with pakistan and i think we've got to shift our approach. jenna: and why do they want to see the taliban win? what is in it for them? >> i think it is all about primarily pakistan's strategic rivalry with india. pakistan has always been paranoid about india. it is always looking for strategic depth in its own backyard in case there was a war with india. it's surest ally has been the taliban. it was true in the 1990s. unfortunately it has proven to be true in the 2 thousands that the taliban's best friend is in fact the pakistani military and pakistani intelligence service. >> we're not talking about a hundreds of miles inside of pakistan firing these rockets into, you know, some of our outposts in afghanistan. some of us who have never been in combat imagine this to be, "the new york times" describes it as basically

two foot ballfields into pakistan they're firing rockets into our compounds there. what are our soldiers supposed to do? are they supposed to sit there and take it? is that what you're u.s. policy is suggesting? >> it seems to me that's the position they're in right now. and that is an absolutely untenable position for any american administration to put our troops into. if we're going to have them there on that boarder, they have got to be able to defend themselves. and my guess is that is is the decision that the obama administration is now approaching. i think the ultimatum us, pakistan, you either take care of this problem, secure your own territory, stop that rocket fire or the united states forces are going to do it. jenna: and then are we at war with pakistan? >> i don't think so, jenna. we, and, in the late 2 thousands, the bush administration struggled with the decision should we intensify the drone attacks? would we be at risk going to war with pakistan and or

destablizing the pakistani government? it wasn't true then. the obama administration made the right call and dramaticly increase the drone attacks in pakistan and the pakistani military has gone alongwith it. my guess if we show the equal kind of strength and make it clear to pakistan they take care of it or we're going to do it they know what is best and what is in their interest. they will not go up against the united states military. jenna: we'll see what happens next. john, nice to have your perspective on this. >> thank you. jon: some breaking news out of antarctica of all places. an an american woman in need of medical help and stranded there for weeks is finally rescued. patti ann browne is following this live from our breaking news desk. patti ann? >> after weeks of waiting that american researcher who suffered a stroke while work the in the south pole is finally flown to safety. 58-year-old. renee nicole. desour of new hampshire says she is lucky to be alive. >> coming from the south

pole on the under pressurized plane i was worried about whether it could do more serious damage or stroke of who knows what else, they kept the plane at very low altitudes so the air crew knew what to do if something had happened to me but luckily, nothing was, it was a fantastic flit. >> she fell ill back on august 27th. she requested several emergency evacuations but was initially denied due to safety risks. but this morning the plane she had been waiting for finally arrived. the us air force c-17 took her from the station in and arca to christ church, new zealand. she has been living in the south pole for a year working as a manager for a research company. she says she is happened to be rescued but she is experiencing some visual impairment and difficulty speaking. she is now undergoing tests in new zealand before she is allowed to head home to the u.s. jon. >> the flight crews who make those flights are real heroes that is some dicey kind of aviation they do

down there. >> absolutely. she is very grateful for that. jon: patti ann, thank you. >> thanks. jenna: developments on the health care fund as the white house drops part of the president's massive health care law. what does it mean for the rest it? we'll have the stare ahead. >> anthrax attacks that terrorized the country right on the edge after 9/11. what have we learned in the decade since? are we better prepared? we'll go in depth. sweetie i think you need a little extra fiber in your diet. carol. fiber makes me sad. oh common. and how can you talk to me about fiber while you are eating a candy bar? you enjoy that. i am.

jenna: welcome back, everyone. the obama administration is doing away with part of its own health care law. a new entitlement the white house saw could not sustain itself. that ignited a fresh debate over the law and whether or not all of it can be sustained. chief washington correspondent jim angle is following that side of the story. jim, can we look at this story and see what it means for the health care law overall or is this an isolated event? >> reporter: there is a big debate over that. depend where you sit. democrats say it is a minor snag in one small part of the overall health care law. republicans say it is the first sign that the entire law is becoming unraveled. the administration was forced to pull the plug on the entitlement called class, jenna. it provided health care for disabled. it was benefits made out many years later. that made the health care law look less expensive over next 10 years than it really

was. half of the savings have now dissolved and republicans say that is the tip of the iceberg. listen. >> a lot of the deficit reduction is smoke and mirrors and i think easy to show. republicans need to say this is just the tip of the iceberg. we need to repeal obamacare. they need to get back to stressing importance of repealing obamacare. >> reporter: the administration was forced to kill class because senator judd gregg inserted language in the health care bill requiring the program to be self-sustaining, meaning it could not add to the deficit. even some democrats say there is no way to get around that. >> that's the language that got agreed on. therefore we need to follow whatever the language that gregg added there. therefore if it is not, they be let's move it and move on something else. >> reporter: now republican house budget committee chairman paul ryan says this whole episode is evidence the health care law's house of cards is beginning to crumble. it ultimately failed because no one could figure out a way to set premiums high enough to cover the benefits but not so high that people

wouldn't sign up for it. actually, the chief actuary of medicare had warned the program would have to enroll 230 million people to be workable. that is more than the entire american workforce. so this was destin todco laps under its own weight, even though some democrats argue it should be preserve anyway and say the president promise to do it. jenna? jenna: i have a00 much this is not the last we hear of this story, jim. >> reporter: i'm afraid not. jenna: all right. we'll continue to follow it. jim, thank you. >> reporter: you bet. jon: this weeks marks 10 years since the deadly anthrax attacks of 2001. remember that? it came on the heels of 9/11? a dark chapter in our nation's history of course. here's a brief timeline of those terrifying events. unseptember 18th, just a week of a the 9/11 attacks the first letters containing anthrax are mailed. on october 4th, bob stevens of american media in florida is hospitalized after inhaling anthrax.

he died just the next day. october 15th, then senate majority leader tom daschle reports anthrax found in his office. october 23rd, two postal workers in washington, d.c. die after anthrax poisoning. october 31st, a hospital worker in new york city becomes the fourth victim. november 21st, a 94-year-old woman in connecticut becomes the fifth victim in the anthrax attacks. years later, in july 2008, bruce ivans, a government scientists suspected in the attacks commits suicide. so how much have we learned about biodefense over the last decade and are we any safer? jonathan moreno, a senior fellow at the center for american progress. also author, of the body politic, the battle over science in america. jonathan, you know we take that whole episode pretty seriously. there were anthrax spores mailed to this building where fox news channel sits. >> yeah.

jon: obviously or thankfully nobody here was infected but it hit very close to home. so answer the question, are we better prepared? >> it is a mixed answer, jon. we're better prepared than we were in october of 2001. at that time some public health departments didn't even have fax machines. jon: wow. >> so since then the cdc, the department of homeland security, the pentagon, the nih have all gotten engaged. there is a way for government to buy medicine to stockpile. we have a national stockpile. but i think we've kind of backed off a little bit in the last few years. one problem is that thousands of public health workers have lost their jobs because, state budgets are, to say, tight is to understate the problem. we have a obviously a really big concern about federal budget deficit. unless you have the people in the states, in the localities able to put the pills into the mouths of the folks who may need them

there's a problem for industry about how confident it can be that it should really produce this stuff. jon: isn't it ironic that the perpetrator of these attacks was thought to have been trying to prove how ready we aren't. apparently did so but you're saying now 10 years later we're not a whole lot better prepared? >> well i think, you know, ironically we were probably better prepared a few years ago when h1n1 happened than we are now. a lot of this is person power capacity at the local level, yes. we also, in my opinion, starting to put ourselves in a very bad position of underinvestment in biotechnology, both venture capital and public support are declining. jon: you say, you say there has to be a lot of public support because the usual market incentives don't apply for this kind of thing. why? can you explain? >> basically if, you're going to run out and buy the medication this afternoon at your local drugstore for, if

there is an anthrax attack in building? of course not. who is the big, who is the big purchaser? it's uncle sam. so industry needs to be assured that there is going to be a customer, and that there's a regulatory pathway that they are comfortable with and they understand. i'm not pounding on the fda here. they're doing their best but there is not a clear regulatory pathway for a lot of this stuff. jon: jonathan moreno has been examining this issue closely along with former senate majority leader tom daschle, whose office as we mentioned received one of those anthrax letters. john, thank you for your insight. >> thank you. jenna: new concerns call for less security at a u.s. major border crossing. we'll tell you why and why people say it could lead to influx of drugs and illegal immigrants from a very unlikely place. cell phones are a way for parents to keep tabs on their children but could this handheld device be harmful to your child's health? this is question we asked

u.s. lawmakers but in washington state there are new calls to actually cut down on the number of security agents along that state's border with canada. why? well dan springer might be able to explain. he is live in seattle there are some reports, dan, that congress think this is border is wide open. so why cut down on security? >> reporter: well that's right. the general accountability office came out with a report this past summer and said only 32 miles of the 4,000-mile long border are actually secure and yet, some lawmakers and citizen groups say there are too many agents along that border with canada. they don't have enough to do. what they're doing is going after illegal immigrants who have been in this country for years. we've seen groups formed and rallies held in protest of random highway checkpoints and ferry checks. the border patrol since backed away from both practices but agents have not stopped detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. it led to increasing friction between some of the locals who see it as racial

profiling and waist of resources. one agent apparently agreed. he testified as a whistle-blower and testified agents have nothing to do along the border. the sector went from had 8 agents before -- 48 agents before 9/11 to 327 agents now. >> we're under surveillance by agents parking outside people's homes and driving up and down city streets questioning people, that makes me feel less secure. >> members of the washington's congressional delegation met with the border patrol several times in recent weeks asking them to clarify their mission, jon. jon: we talked about how controversial this is. got to be a lot of people who want more border control up there, right? >> reporter: absolutely. groups opposed to illegal immigration, that enforcing immigration law is main part of the border patrol's job even if the illegals have been in the u.s. for years. many point out drugs especially marijuana are still coming in canada. two would-be terrorists came

across the border. one the millennium border caught by customs. his plan was to blow up the los angeles airport. the other one was abum mazur was caught in new york making a bomb. >> obviously if there is terrorist at loose that should be the first priority. without a dangerous criminal does not mean the border control should not just enforce laws against who are violating our immigration laws. >> reporter: the homeland security department has not proposed reducing number about of agent along the northern border. but secretary napolitano has focused on criminal aliens and less on random surveillance. jon. >> the controversy goes on. keep an eye for us, dan, dan springer. jenna: new information about a massive fire injurying dozens of people. police are now saying arson is expected but that is not all. we have shocking details just ahead. are you fed up with paying an outrageous cell phone bill? kind of a loaded question. jon: it is taxes that kill

you. jenna: there is lot going on there. the so-called bill shock could be a thing of the past thanks to a new deal made by the u.s. government. you want to hear more and we'll explain next. almost tastes like one of jack's als. fiber one. h, forgot jack cereal.

jon: a fox news alert. there seems to be some breaking news right now in the hunt for little 11-month-old lisa irwin, that baby who disappeared from her home in the middle of the night in kansas city, missouri. right now the kansas city police department as well as the fbi are on the scene with search dogs of a home where lisa's parents are staying. this is not the home that she was taken from but it's the home where her parents apparently are staying now. search dogs are working that home. whether they have found

anything yet we do know but typically police will not bring the dogs in unless they have some indication there ising for them to search more. when we get more information about the this interesting development in kansas city, missouri, we'll bring it to you live on "happening now". jenna: have you ever opened your cell phone bill and just about fainted? jon: yes. jenna: you're not alone. you're with jon and i obviously. so-called bill shock is surge a huge problem in this country and the feds are looking for a way to prevent that unpleasant monthly surprise. sometimes it is hard to look, right? peter barnes with the fox business network. i'm sure you dealt with this. peter. what is going on her? >> reporter: that's right, jenna. the fcc and the wireless industry announcing today a new voluntary program on the part of the industry to send out alerts whenever you're going to bump up against your voice texting and data limits as well as your international roaming charges when you're traveling overseas.

the fcc has been considering new rules to try to crack down on bill shock. >> i met a woman who was shocked by over $34,000 cell phone bill for international data and texting charges incurred while visiting her sister in haiti after the 2009 earthquake. we also met a man who got an $18,000 bill after his free data downloads expired without warning. >> reporter: obviously those are extreme examples but the fcc and "consumer reports" estimate that one in five cell phone wireless customers get these kind of extra charges and the fcc will continue to monitor this as the industry rolls this out. everybody will start getting at least two of these alerts starting in october of next year and getting all four of them by april 2013. jenna. jenna: be nice if the surprises are good surprises,

not the bad kind of surprises. at least someone is watching. thank you very much, peter barnes. $34,000, jon. 30 now,000. how much were you taking on the phone? jon: i have lots of teenagers in the household. jenna: come close to that number? jon: i think so. >> well --. jon: just when you are probably relieved at some bill shock may be eliminated there is word now that radiation from cell phones may be especially harmful to children. patti ann browne is on that story. patti ann? >> that's right, jon. a study released today says kids brains are more susceptible to radiation from cell phones than adults. the report from the members of the environmental health trust that kids absorb twice as much radiation from cell phones as adults do. the study released in the electromagnetic and biology journal blame it on the fact that children have thinner skulls and their small letter bodies than adults. world health organization

changed its classification of cell phone radiation as carcinogenic in. 70% of the children carry a cell phone. 66% got their first phones before turning 14. parents say the reasons are safety and ability to keep track of their kids. some phones even come with locating devices. studies show that most kids text rather than talk. they also play games and listen to music through head dpons. it is not clear if these activities are less harmful since the phone is further away from the body than while talking. jon: patti ann browne from the news desk. thanks. >> thanks. jenna: dilemma over a new government mandate. provide contraceptives at campus health clinics or face a fine if you don't. a live report next. breaking news out of kansas city, we're talking about dogs on the scene where these parents are staying. much more of megyn kelly's

jenna: starting off the new hour with politics, mitt romney keeping his campaign on track but many republicans are waiting to hop on board. we're glad you're with us, high noon on the east coast, i'm jeanne lee. jon: i'm jon scott. if you ask republicans who they want for president a lot of them will say anybody but president obama, then when you try pin them down on the candidates, some are saying anybody but mitt romney. why? bret baier is the anchor of "special report". bret, it's kind of an interesting bit of intrigue, this is a guy who was well known to republicans, he ran last time around, often republicans like to nominate the guy who finished, you know, second or in the top tier the last time around. he did with john mccain. what's the deal, what's the problem here? >> there are a couple of vulnerabilities for governor romney and we've talked

about them before. the massachusetts health care law and the mandate there in the statewide health care law that he signed into law, also, his previous stances on gay marriage and abortion and some video about those elements in his race against then senator kennedy in massachusetts in 2000, and the big thing is, and what i was going to say, in 2008, a lot of that was exposed and talked about, but it hasn't been really delved into in the primary as much, and yet, there seems to be this feeling. we've talked about it, 23, 24 -- this ceiling, 23, 24 percent. there's a want and need to find someone who's not mitt romney. right now, her main cain is getting a lot of -- herman cain is getting a lot of that attention but every time that mitt romney has

another debate performance that is exceptionally good and one that really shows that he's on top of his game when talking about the economy, it seems like the romney campaign is trying to make this inevitable case, and it just hasn't taken off yet. jon: there were sort of dlaifers of the -- flavors of the moment who came in style, in vogue, sort of, as the antithey sis to romney, michele bachmann was it for a while, rick perry was it, still might be, herman cain seems to be on top of the polls now. are republican voters simply having trouble making up their mind or from the standpoint of the party, is this a good thing, the sort of winnowing out of the candidates? >> i think arguably, everyone says that this is a good process, to get through, to see who's the best to beat president obama, and that's the bottom line, is that gop primary voters want to have someone who beats president obama in the general election.

there's a new poll out from rasmussen just this hour saying that herman cain now tops president obama 43-41, but mitt romney has been the person who's been seen as most likely to take down the president in a one on one race. there is concern that mitt romney couldn't generate the real support from the conservative base to fire up the base, and how his campaign deals with that and seeing in the polls vulnerability on that side of things, how he deals with it to try to close the gap, largely it's the last man standing, he'll have the longevity to get through all of these contests to be the man who they believe will be the nominee. jon: it is going to be sphwog watch and i'm sure you're going to be watching it a lot on "special report". bret baier, thank you. "special report" runs tonight, you can get the latest from washington, all

things political, 6:00 p.m. eastern time, each week day night. jenna: "happening now", the iraqi government and u.s. are trying to hammer out a new deal about just how many u.s. forces will remain in iraq next year. one report out over the weekend suggests on january 1st, there may be virtually no american troops left in iraq. national security correspondent jennifer grefin is live from the pentagon, on what, jennifer, appears to be a major stumbling block in these negotiations. tell us more about that. >> well, jenna, there was an almost visceral reaction from white house and pentagon spokes people over the weekend when a report by the a.p. from baghdad came out suggesting the administration had essentially given up on the idea of keeping any more than a token number of troops, u.s. troops, in iraq past december. here's tommy veeter, national security person, we're building a comprehensive partnership with iraq under the strategic framework agreement, including a robust scoort relationship and discussion with iraqis about the nature of that

relationship with ongoing. spokes people here at the pentagon reiterated that a few moments ago, but reading between the lines, the talks seem to have hit a serious impasse in recent weeks, despite administration denials, because the iraqi prime minister and popularment are unwilling to give immunity to any u.s. troops who stay as even part of this nominal training mission. that's a deal breaker for washington. the a.p. is reporting that 160 u.s. troops would stay attached to the embassy, but in essence, it looks like all of the 41,000 u.s. troops still there are on a glide path to coming home at the end of the year. here's iraqi spokesman ali dubah in reaction, the afghan government welcomes the training forces without providing immunity as per the decision of all political block necessary iraq. iraq and the usa are looking for options which will make the training mission doable. >> it's been terribly mishandled and it would take

your entire show for me to describe all that happened but the fact is there are very volatile areas between the kurdish areas and iraqi in the north that needs peace keeping forces. >> reporter: administration officials say that the talks with the iraqis are ongoing, they won't characterize it as an impasse, but it's clear that something has changed from the point when u.s. commanders in iraq were requesting about 15,000 u.s. troops, thinking that that's the number that would be requested to stay beyond at the end of the year, to now. negotiations that really seem like they're going right down to the wire, jenna. jenna: let's be clear about that immunity issue. if troops are in the country and on patrol in the streets for whatever reason and driving down the streets and iraqi forces pulled them over and accused them of something, then they could get drawn into an iraqi court system. is that basically what a lack of immunity means? >> >> reporter: in general, yes. the more likely scenario would be they would be on a training mission, they might be men toring orioo

mentoring with the iraqi forces, let's say a shooting occurs, let's say the u.s. personnel had been the ones who fired the shots. then they could get dragged into the legal system in iraq, so it's standard with these status of forces agreements and strategic agreements with other countries for those u.s. troops to have immunity. jen general an important distinction. jennifer, thank you, we'll continue to follow this. jon: well, the president's health care law is facing a new challenge, this time from 18 catholic universities. under that law, the school's health care plans must cover birth control, but the colleges argue that goes against their church doctrine and it's forcing them to make difficult decisions. shannon bream keeps an eye on these things, she's live from washington. >> reporter: jon, a number of catholic universities say regulations stemming from the health care law could put them in a terrible position, either offer health care plans that offer contracept tiffs which stands in direct conflict with the tenets of the

catholic faith or stop offering health insurance all together. one of the letters to the administration comes from the president of notre dame who says despite pushback from some he welcomes the president to speak on campus in 2009 hoping they could discuss differing view points on issues of life. here's what the president said back then. >> let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion and draft a sensible conscience clause and make sure all health care polices are grounded not only in sound science but also in clear ethics. as well as respect for the equality of women. those are things we can do. >> reporter: but pro life advocates say that's not been the case with this administration, including failure to safeguard protections under the conscience clause and religious employer exemptions. >> the obama administration has radically oturned that with these proposed rules that would force catholic universities across the country to fund things they fundamentally disagree with.

>> reporter: in response to the okays by these universities the the department of health and human services referred us to a blog in which the agents states, quote, we explored and are open to other definitions of religious organizations to ensure organizations that have religious objections to covering contraception can choose whether or not to cover these services. the comment period for that regulation in question has now closed. whether or not it's bonfied, it goes into effect august of next year. jon? >> jon: shannon bream, live for us in washington, thank you shannon. jenna: this is a story of outrage. hackers take over sesame street. sacred, right? jon: how could they do that. jenna: taking over sesame street on youtube. wait until you hear what they did. >> a look behind the occupy wall street movement, why some are comparing it to the maxist revolution. charlie gasparino is next.

jon: right now new info on crime stories we're keeping

an eye on. three people under arrest in philadelphia after police find four mentally handicapped adults shackled in a basement storage enclosesel, all victims said to be mal nourished. >> hackers post porn clips on youtube channel for sesame street before the videos were taken down. sesame workshop, a nonprofit organization behind sesame street issues an apology. >> closing arguments set to begin for mark gudoe, charged with # murders and dozens of other crimes in the so-called baseline killer case. we covered it back in 2005 and 2006. jenna: it's been bhownt since occupy wall street had its very first rally and the movement continues to groavment we saw it over the weekend with a lot of our coverage on fox news. our next guest says occupy wall street is actually a marxist epicenter, that's a pretty strong way to describe it. >> of new york city.

jenna: of new york city. charlie past gar ino of the fox business network, so you went to occupy wall street where this is in the park. >> saturday, i worked out first, went down there. >> what else did you do? have coffee? >> just to see what it was like. >> jenna: why do you call it a maxist -- i did a lot of reporting. a lot of people talk about these folks and suggesting they don't know what they're doing because they're unsophisticated about the banking system, do they have any underlying ideology, all you have to do is walk through there to see there's an underlying ideology and it's handed out in pamphlets and newspapers, including this wonderful piece of -- i don't know what you want to call it. it's called justice. and by the way, it's one of the propaganda sheets down there, it says marx was right. jenna: capitalism failure. >> they're not talking about groucho marx, by the way. jenna: what is maxism. >> karl marx, what we're

talking about here is a way where government controls the con mevment that's the underlying message that's coming from this proprotest. jenna: such a claim that they would have you believe the bankers are controlling the economy and something needs to be done. >> you see, that's one of the problems here. they're using what is obviously an outrage, and everybody agrees with it, that wall street got bailed out, we have a horrible economy and they're using that to promote a philosophy that is basically antiamerican. we're talking about marxists here telling us that our system of government, not only that, our system of the economy, cap tammism which wall street was not about capitalism, if anything that was crony capitalism, if there was real capitalism, wall street would have been allowed to fail, so what they're looking to dork that's the underlying message, i'll not going to say it's going to happen but let's be clear, the protestors have an underlying message, it's not just protest wall street, it's protest wall street and it's embrace communism. there's no question about it. all you have to do is go down there. jen yuen there's something

that happened during the financial crisis, what's next for our country, questioning capitalism, is it what brought us to the brink and there is a feeling that this generation will not do as well as their parents' generation, that's -- that fundamental all right of being american isn't happen. brad: i would say don't blame capitalism. as someone who's written about the evils of wall street, i've written any more than any of these kids out there, by the way, before a lot of them were born, i can tell you that wall street since are not related to capitalism, they're related to crony capitalism that benefitted them and two still -- it still benefits them but that is not capitalism. capitalism is allowing small businesses to hire, not screws them with regulations, which is what we have now. jenna: the president spoke about those regulations earlier today. if we have that sound, let's run it. >> their plan says we should go back to the good old days before the financial crisis, when wall street was writing its own rules. they want to roll back the reforms that we put into place. >> they were writing their

own rules, by the way, allegedly when his treasury secretary tim geithner was one of the primary regulators, head of the new york fed the wall street need be to -- needed to be reformed but the dodd-frank reform is not reforming wall street, it's squeezing it to the point that they're getting people laid off on wall street, not only that, they can't lend to small businesses and it really doesn't address the underlying problem which caused the financial crisis which was risk taking because wall street was bailed out by the government, but also, the government sort of infused the financial crisis, but with fannie and freddie, basically all that stuff that made homeownership a right as opposed to something that must be earned. jenna: based on what you saw and you obviously have your opinion of what's being org need in that opinion. >> i don't know it's an opinion. it's an observation. >> that's your observation. what do you think is next? how far does this go, where does this group go? >> i think it's getting dangerous now, because yes, maybe on day one the wall street protests did not have an underlying ideology, it was a bunch of kids sitting

around, saying we hate banks now you do have political types taking over. there is -- i mean, if you walk through there, you are -- your organizing philosophy is maxism and it doesn't surprise me this is spreading across the globe and becoming increasingly violent. that's part of the recent -- mess arnlings revolution. jenna: are you going to go back? >> i was made there a couple of times. i think there if i go back -- by the way, these aren't the people you want to argue with. anybody that goes down there should be very scared. these are not people you want to argue with. jenna: did you feel nervous, physically threatened? >> no, i did not yet but if you point something out to some of them, you might get hid over the head. these are angry people and based on the way mayor bloomberg has treated them, letting them get away with stuff, they feel emboldened. jenna: we'll continue to watch what happens down there. thank you, charlie, thank you for sharing your saturday with us! sounded like an interesting one.

underway into an apartment building fire that left about a dozen people injured. boston police now say the fire may have been started by a man trying to kill himself. path i ann has more details of the story. >> reporter: that's right, jenna. more than a dozen people were injured in this 6-alarm fire in boston and a man is under arrest after telling police he started the fire. the blaze damaged or

destroyed more than two dozen apartments in the city 's rocksbury neighborhood, residents who escaped the blaze said they heard a loud explosion at 1:00 this morning, a massive fire followed and there were dramatic rescues by boston firefighters, they rescued at least 15 people from the building, including a six-year-old boy, his grandmother dropped him from a third floor window and lieutenant glen mcgilloray caught him in his arms, he climbed the ladder to save the grandmother. as the fire still burned a man showed up at a hospital and said he started the blaze, according to the fire department. fire officials say he walked into boston medical center with burns over 10 percent of his body and said he blew all house. he's charged with arson. the man's name was not immediately released. a spokesperson for the boston p.d. says he was visiting someone in the buildingage may have cut a gas line and a stove in an effort to kill himself, they stress the investigation is ongoing but did remove a served line from the scene.

ten residents of the building were taken to hospitals, most suffering from smoke inhalation. two firefighters and a police officer were also treated for what were believed to be minor injuries, but jenna, when you look at the scene, actually it's a miracle that everybody lived. quite a scene. jenna: shocking picture there is. patti ann, thank you. >> reporter: thank you. jon: tensions between the u.s. and iran are near the boiling point. last week, we found out about iran's alleged role in a plot to assassinate saudi arabia's ambassador to the united states. iran is strongly denying it. now, the supreme leader there, ayatollah khamenei is warning of retaliation if the west takes any action to punish iran in response. let's talk about it with ambassador john bolton, former ambassador to the united nations and you know the iranians fairly well. what do you make of all of this bluster from them over this case? >> well, i think they're not worried about retaliation. i don't think they take the threat of additional sanctions seriously. i think they're not worried about a possible military

response. and i think that's unfortunate. because this perception of american weakness is one of the reasons this plot made sense to them to begin with and why there are other things like their nuclear weapons program we need to worry about even more. jon: some iranian officials are saying hey, we wouldn't gain anything by killing saudi arabiaa's ambassador, therefore, you know, it makes no sense, there's no motive. your response. >> i think there's a lot of motive. there's a huge struggle going on between the saudis and the iranians within islam, within the region, it's ethnic, we've seen this in the internal conflict in bahrain, it's breaking out all over the middle east in syria and elsewhere. so the idea of a hit job against the saudi ambassador to the united states, a man very close to the saudi king, humiliating the united states by doing it on their own territory i think makes a lot of sense to the mullahs in tehran. jon: i love this quote from mahmoud ama indad, the embattled president from that country, he says iran is a civilized nation and

doesn't need to resort to assassination. you know, kidnapping a few embassy employees as they did for more than a year back in 1979, that's okay, but -- >> or killing your own citizens for the my laisha, it's no big deal or building nuclear weapons to threaten your neighbors, which is the essence of the threat here. jon: the u.s. is charging the suspects in federal court. you point out there's something interesting about the standard of proof required there. >> look, there's skepticism about the administration's description of this plot in europe, even among some experts in this country, but by proceeding to a criminal prosecution, the administration is saying we can prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. so this is not a 51-49 view of the assassination plot. it's really 95-5. and i think if you look at the people who have been briefed, senator dianne feinstein, chairwoman of the senate intelligence committee, people who know the facts believe it's a strong case. jon: so you're supportive of the general approach the administration is taking here? >> no.

i think they're making a mistake in response to this by saying they're going to increase the sanctions against iran. number one, i don't think they're going to get substantially increased sanctions and number two, i wouldn't focus just on this assassination attempt except for what it reveals about the nature, the character of the regime that's pursuing nuclear weapons. jon: while here i want to get your quick thought on what jenna is going to be doing later in the hour. talking about the 100 troops, we've got u.s. forces in the ground in central africa. >> it's a good thing they gave president obama the nobel peace prize, because if he keeps this up he's never going to get another one. there is no vital american interest at stake in uganda, there's obviously nothing you can bay will the resistance army. don't mind giving assistance to the governments nearby but to put american ground force necessary harm's way, even allegedly only as trainers, that's a big mistake, this is an ideological tangent the administration is off on and i think ultimately damaging to our efforts to preserve our military budget. jon: ambassador john bolton, always good to hear your

thoughts. >> thaw. jenna: some breaking news from kansas city, the latest on the investigation and brand new revelations from the mother of missing 11 month old lisa irwin, she tells megyn kelly what she did that night her daughter disappeared. more details from a bombshell interview, next.

the company is trying to make it up to the customers. reporting for the fox business network, this may be easier said than done, jovani. >> 70 million people around the world, using blackberries were in the dark last week, without access to messages. that access -- without access to e-mails, and the company that makes those blackberries, research in motion, is trying to make amends, the company saying this morning it will give affected customers free blackberry apps for the rest of the year to make up for that embarrassing network outage that impacted people on the verizon network, on the at&t network, and global networks all around the world. some of the apps that will be available, starting for free, take note, starting this wednesday until december 31st of the year, in -- basically, you can download up to $100 in values. also in room, a free month of customer support. i'm not sure if businesses and customers will forgive

the company that experienced its biggest network outage in its history. coincidentally, or maybe not so coincidentally, apple, one of the biggest rivals to the blackberry, announced this morning that initial sales of its iphone 4s were off to a record start, 4 million were sold around the world. maybe perhaps aided by this big snafu that blackberry made last week, free app necessary return for zero signal? not sure if i can forgive that one. jon is downloading the poker game right now. have you tried downloading any of those apps? >> i haven't. they start this wednesday so we've got to wait a currently of days and jon is going to have to wait for the poker. jenna: you caught me! jon: thank you. jenna: jovani, thank you. jon: the missouri national guard is joining the fbi and police in a massive search for a missing baby girl, 11 month old lisa irwin, last seen october 4th.

as a sound bite for you guys here. >> let's talk about the wine how much did you consume that day? >> i had several. several glasses of wine. >> when you say several, more than three? >> yeah. but that has nothing to do with her. >> more than five? >> probably. >> more than ten? >> no. >> was it just wine, or was it -- >> yeah, just wine. just wine. >> no vodka. >> no. >> were you drunk? >> yeah. >> was your neighbor drunk? >> i don't think so. i don't know. we don't -- we haven't really talked a whole lot about all of this stuff, we're not sitting around comparing notes. i don't think she was. i mean, i think she was probably tipsy. >> do you have a drinking problem? >> no. i don't think so. >> and she went on from there, jon, to speak specifically about what she remembers and what she

doesn't remember about what happened that evening when she was under the influence, and it is a brand new story from what we have been hearing over the past two weeks. we'll get into it in detail in 20 minutes, but suffice it to say that the police, it was news to the police, this new story, and it's going to significantly affect the investigation. jon: is that part of the reason that the police went to the house, just in the last two hours? might still be there, as far as we know, went to the house where they're staying. >> we don't know the reason but we do know the police are on scene now with dogs, wanting to detect the scent of the child. they claim this is about trying to track the scent of the child, and in particular, perhaps the exit through which the child was taken out of the house. that's what we've just been told by our sources. i don't know exactly what that's based on. i just know that they're doing that. and this interview is something else, that the other tip that came out over this weekend that has the parents very hopeful, because keep in mind what this storysention very

coming down to, did the parents did something, one or both of them, to that little girl or did the intruder come into this house as they suggest, or a third party, if you will, if not an intruder, and take that baby. and the police are investigating both angles. speaking to theory number two, the police over the weekend found a lead. they say it's not anything, the parents believe it could be something. in particular, they found soiled diapers at an abandoned home not far from where the irwins live. we bumped into one of the neighborhood residents who was first on the scene in finding those diapers. here's what she said and here's what the mother had to say about it later: >> how new do the diapers seem? >> real new. >> recently soiled? >> yes. like it was in my -- in my opinion, within less than 24 hours, because you know, my opinion is the house is so open, this is my opinion, i can -- like i say, i'm not going against the cops or nothing like that. i want you all to know. my opinion, since the windows were open like that, urine from a baby -- that

animals would have been in there already destroying that. >> baby food, diapers, it's got to be her. this is the only thing i can think of. i just got this feeling, you know, that's got to be it. got to be it. we're going to get her back. so i'm like, you know, i'm scared and like i said, my emotions are everywhere but i'm starting to get really excited. megyn: yet, the police say there's no cause for excitement, they're waving us off of that, saying these diapers are old, well beyond the date of this case and there's no reason for excitement. the police continue to say they have no suspects, not this homeless guy who was taken into custody over the weekend, not anybody connectwood those dirty diapers, not these parents, they continue to say they are not suspects, and now the parents and police are at odds again over whether the parents are cooperating. the police will have more on that at the top of the hour and want to say there have been -- while the mother and the father both made impassioned pleas for their daughter, they also outlined a story that was markedly

inconsistent, including with the one they told just last weekend to our own judge jeanine pirro. we're going to show you the tapes -- the split tapes, what they said to jeanine and what they said to me and we'll let the viewers decide whether there are material changes. all that, all with the cell phones they used, the screen the intruder came through and the lights that they have changed their story on, were they on, off, what happened. we'll have it top of the hour. jon: i couldn't help but notice in that clip we played earlier in our broadcast, the mother left open the possibility that oh, she may have blacked out for part of the evening. megyn: that's a critical, critical admission, and it was made to me yesterday. that is a major headline, jon, that not only did she drink, somewhere between 5-10 drinks that night, somewhere between 5-10 glasses of wine, but that she blacked out, and that she doesn't remember what happened during the period in which she was blacked out. that is a critical piece of information.

it is new, and you can bet that the police are going to be asking some more questions as a result of it. jon: it is going to be a fascinating hour to watch. just about 20 minutes from now. megyn kelly, great work. >> reporter: thanks jon. see you shortly. jenna: here's another crime story we're watching, a suspect in the disappearance of an american woman in aruba, again, demanding his immediate release from jail. we're going to have a live report on today's court hearing. plus, he spent 26 years behind bars for a crime he didn't commit. now his dream of becoming a professional boxer finally comes true.

jon: right noirks some new information on stories we are watching across the u.s. and around the world. venezuela's president hugo chavez, no friend of the united states. the prognosis in his fight against cancer is pretty grim, his former doctor says chavez could have less than two years to live and after four rounds of chemotherapy the illness is probably

worse than he's publicly admitting. thrill seekers, running with the bulls in arizona. lots of adrenaline but a bit safer than the famous run that takes place in pamplona, spain. these bulls have their horns trimmed! a man exonerated of murder after 26 years in prison steps into the ring to win his pro boxing debut. it was a long time dream for duey bozella and now with a victory under his belt he's hanging up the gloves and calling it quits. jenna: go out on top, right? >> the man arrested in as a suspect in the murder of gardner is in court today, gary giordano as been challenging his detention and on jail initeland since his arrest in august. phil keating has been following this from the beginning and las the hate -- has the latest. >> reporter: gary giordano in court once again pleading with the judge to release him.

of course he's already lost three previous detention hearings but today he's got a brand new attorney, gary giordano changed his defense attorney over the weekend, the new man, chris lefieux who had a connection to the holloway case. giordano has been locked up 70 days and has not been charged with any crime, he's serving a 60 day detention and after that at the end of this month he will have one more hearing if he is not released today and could either be set free then or kept an additional 30 days. two weeks ago, a team of cadaver dogs through in from holland to search the southern tip of the island, after four days they did not find gardner's body but prosecutors said they found a couple of things of interest they are checking out. the prosecutor tells me that to date, no witnesses have materialized to implicate giordano or verify his snorkeling story. a recent report that came out in the past couple of weeks suggesting that the two of them were seen fighting in the rental car, prior to her disappearing

after allegedly going snorkeling on the beach on the southern tip of the island. the lead prosecutor tells me that report was absolutely not true, they really have had minimal witnesses in this case. no one has come forward that remembers seeing them snorkeling together on what is actually a beach just north of baby beach, maybe by a few hundred yards. it's even more remote than that. a lot of tourists go down to baby beach. this is an area of island that really only locals would go to, and from reports we hear of, they don't go there too often. but bottom line is gary giordano is going to plead with the judge again today. it's unlikely he'll be released, but the new attorney, his connection to the holloway story was that he represented the two security guards from the hotel that were initially detained in aruba after natalee holloway disappeared. he got those guys released for lack of evidence, so

gary giordano, clearly hoping that kind of luck happens for him today. jenna. jenna: more on the story as it develops, phil, thank you. >> all right. jon: did you hear this over the weekend? we've got u.s. troops head to go uganda, in part to help get rid of a ruthless leader, responsible for killing thousands of civilians. we'll talk with a man who found himself in a similar situation in somalia when the u.s. tried to weed out rebel leaders there. colonel danny mcknight lived the story that later became the movie "black hawk down". jenna will be speaking with him next.

jon: crews off the beautiful coast of new zealand are racing to pump oil out of a

grounded ship under a reef. >> reporter: this container ship has been struck on a reef for 12 days, it's 25 miles after of new zealand coast and salvage crews are racing to pump oil from it. some authorities expect the ship to break apart or sink at any time, others say it's stable, but in any case, so far, just # 2-tons of oil have been removed. an estimated 1400 tons remain on board. and about 350 tons of oil have spilled into the sea, near beaches on new zealand's north island. some have washed ashore, killing almost 1300 sea birds, another 200 oil birds and seals are being treated at a wil life center. thousands of volunteers are trying to clean up the beach es. new zealand officials call this the worst maritime environmental disaster ever. new zealand's transportation minister says if the salvage crews need to evacuate, at the least they would try to put caps on the tanks and close valves to minimize future oil spillage, it has

a nigerian flag, owned by a greek-based costa mayer, both a captain and officer have been charged under new zealand law with operating the ship in a dangerous manner. jon: let's hope they can get that job done. jenna: new reaction to the news that the united states is sending 100 armed advisers, some are calling them that, so a -- into a horrific war zone, the president says the troops are there to help try to remove a warlord named joseph kone, so called head of the wars resistance army, response foil the kidnap, rape and murder of tens of thousands of people over several decades. there's no question that he is a bad guy, to put it just in regular terms. but some lawmakers are criticizing the president for not consulting congress before the decision. one is senator john mccain. we wanted more perspective on what is going on. colonel danny knight is author of the streets of mog des u, he served testimony

as commander on the ground convoy in that initial assault in mog des u which is where we get the story of "black hawk down". with your experience in the region, operating in the region there, what's your gut reaction to a headline like this? >> well, it's a little stunning to me to think we're going to choose to send 100 soldiers there to advise in a situation where we know this rebel leader is really a bad guy, and we're only going to send 100. we had 450 when we went and that restricted us somewhat. so i know they're just supposed to be advising, they're not supposed to be involved in combat, but i don't know how they cannot be possibly involved in combat. they would be a prime target for the bad guys for sure. jenna: so what's the nature of their work? you say they are soldiers working as advisers, the uganda president calls them advisers but what are they going to be doing or face something. >> well, according to what i've read, the president's desire is they go in there

and provide assistance and advice and support to the forces that want to take out this rebel leader, and so they're just supposed to be, i guess, touchy feely, as i call it, because they're not going to be involved in combat directly, but they're going to be advising the ones that are, and that sounds like a united nations rules of engagement to me, not the kind that we should ever put our forces in. jenna: how vulnerable are they? >> well, if they're out there advising the ones that are going after these rebels and this rebel leader and they are with them, they are very vulnerable, and especially if they're put in a position that you're not to shoot at anybody unless you are first shot at or put in danger, well, i sort of look like that, you know -- the wild west, i don't think the guy that shot second ever won. jen does this make sense to you? when you look at the different areas in the world, they almost feel

like, quite frank lerks guilty talking about these 100 soldiers when we have 100,000 in afghanistan, tens of thousands in iraq fighting a war there. does this make sense, this move, does it make sense in what you see as our national security plan or policy? >> i don't see it as a national security issue. i think it's a shame what's going on over there. but it's a shame what's going on in somalia today, with the famine and everything that's going on there with the al-qaeda faction that's there, but you know, where's the idea that uganda is more important than somalia or some of the other countries over there? and i just don't understand why we're choosing to do this, i didn't understand when we did libya, the others that we're doing. i'm not sure what the national strategy is, and i'm not sure anybody really is sure. jenna: there's still so many questions. colonel, we'd love to have you back and talk about it and we appreciate your time today. we'll be right back with more of "happening now". >> thank you. verizon 4g lte.

jon: okay, so i'm back from vacation. i know you think all i do is go on vacation. but i had a good reason. jenna: okay. jon: my daughter is over in venice studying, and so i went over there to meet her, and she had the week off. that's a town in italy. i guess you've been there. jenna: i have been. but it doesn't ever get old looking at pictures of this country. jon: it was a great time of year to go to venice. jenna: she's not holding that up for real, is she? jon: you tipped it over from what i understand. i'm about ten pounds heavier this week. [laughter] jenna: oh, that's a good one. jon: so there we we are in veni, but venice, well, the city is sinking. it's a very threatened city, obviously. there's water lapping into one of the wildings. but that was not the highlight of my trip. jenna:
