i had to watch it four times. i couldn't help myself. dabs she will grow up to be a very emotional woman. thanks for watching, everybody. we have to call it a night. have a great weeke >> heather: i'm heather childers. >> gregg: i'm gregg jarrett. welcome to a brand-new hour inside america's news headquarters. >> justice for the libyan people weeks after the death of moammar khadafy points to another khadafy has been captured, this time his son. >> gregg: and serious concerns about iran and it's nuclear ambitions, but will new sanctions do any good? >> heather: recess will never be the same. why one school is banning boys

on the playground. >> a stalemate over the u.s. deficit. a wednesday deadline looms large to cut spending. workweek stretching into the weekend as the clock ticks down and it's burning on this group of faces. no rest for the super committee. they are facing growing pressure to break the deadlock. molly henneberg live in washington with more. >> molly: republicans on the super committee held a conference call this morning trying to figure out what their next step is as wednesday's deadline gets closer and closer. the white house says president obama who called the two super committee co-chairs as we was heading out of town last week has not talked to them since. >> he has not made any calls to leaders of congress but he is in regular contract with his staff in washington, including those who are monitoring super

committee the committee protecting. >> molly: they are trying to come up with $1.2 trillion in savings over ten years through a combination of spending cuts and tax increases. republicans contend they cannot get democrats to agree to enough cuts. >> we've identified several trillion dollars in sensible spending reductions that would resolve our fiscal crisis, but in the face of intense democratic opposition we scaled back our proposal to just $750 billion. less than 2% of what our government is projected to spend over the next ten years. >> molly: but democrats such as john kerry says the divide over tax hikes, specifically for the rich. >> to have something on the table that does not ask the wealthiest people in the country to share it in would be unconscionable.

>> molly: one more note. in order to make the wednesday deadline they are required by law to make its plan public and submit the plan to the congressional budget office 48 hours prior to a vote. so really that pushes the deadline for a deal to this coming monday. >> gregg: it does, indeed. molly, thanks very much. super committee has essentially until wednesday, maybe monday to cut that $1.2 trillion in spending, if they fail a series of automatic cuts take effect totaling $984 billion. they include, $454 billion in defense spending and domestic spending, $294 billion in non-mandatory spending and spending for medicare would be slashed to the tune of $123 billion, all these cuts would not go into effect, though, until 2013 and would last until 2021.

>> heather: fox news alert. breaking developments out of libya. they announced the capture of moammar khadafy's son and they are reeryd authorities are holding him inside libya. the son rooryd caught on an escape route to another area. reena ninan is live with more on this developing story. >> reporter: he was the only one of khadafy's eight children still on the run. he was captured in libya. in fact he was seeking to avoid the grew some death that his father faced. he was captured by libyan insiders in a mountainous region but faced many close moments leading up to his capture. it brought celebrations throughout the street.

they believe he knows where billions of dollars of public money still remains. when he was captured they only found a few thousand dollars and a rifle. international criminal courts will decide next week where he will be tried. they urged libyan authorities to make sure he will brought to justice. western countries and libyans will not hand him over and they are not mature enough to try him yet. certainly according to the justice minister be charged with the death penalty. that is what they are looking at. international criminal court is hoping to eventually be handed over. >> heather: thank you very much. reena ninan live from jerusalem. >> gregg: violent protests erupting in egypt. protestors fighting for control over tahir square. reports of 500 people injured. security forces tried to clear a

protest camp. hundreds of protestors fought back throwing rocks and sending things on fire. this is just nine days before they hold the first elections since the overthrow of hosni mubarak. >> turning to pakistan, new details about an alleged coup. pakistani security forces says he was carrying u.s. and pakistani passports. he triggered and explosion during a raid on his apartment. pakistani authorities say that the man had divorced his wife a month ago and was living with four children. none of the children were injured. >> gregg: hundreds of firefighters are gaining now the upper hand on the massive fire near reno, nevada. forcing 10,000 people to evacuate the area and damaging about 55 homes.

authorities allowing some evacuee ees to return. they say the blaze is mostly contained thanks to calm winds and some snow. >> heather: one of busiest travel days of the year, mother nature could make travel over trafficking a lot more tricky. a large storm it could impact the entire east coast from boston to florida. areas in the northeast see heavy rains and even some snow, storms as far as south as the florida panhandle. but it should be expected to be out on to sea by thursday just in time for thanksgiving. >> it will cost you more to get to grandma's house. the national average for a gallon is now 3.37. that is nearly 50 cents per gallon higher than last year. >> gregg: and we're going to feel that one.

inside america's election headquarters, a brand-new poll showing newt gingrich riding high in new hampshire. that is right. sharing the spot with mitt romney. just a few weeks ago, many pundits were giving the former speaker's campaign up for dead. now, will he be a prime target for the critics? here is staff writer for roll call. he is way behind when it comes to fund-raising, organization, but he does excel during debates. does doing well in debates win nominations? >> i don't think it helps you. i think it actually does more for the general election if they perform well in the debates. right now because there are so many debates and spread out over a long period of time. it's good for newt gingrich, but it's not going to deliver him the nomination. he has to be in iowa, and south

carolina and meeting voters. >> already michele bachmann is attacking gingrich over what she calls his schilling for freddie mac collecting $1.6 million in the process. would you expect the attacks to begin to escalate now that the former speaker has vaulted from the top of the pack? >> i would be surprised if it didn't escalate. you should see a pile on both mitt romney because that is consistent over the last debates. he is still the front-runner, then you would see a lot of candidates to pile on newt gingrich. the other candidates have a lot to work with. you mentioned the freddie mac thing, there are a lot of other things in gingrich's past on flip-flopping. the other candidates have a lot to work with. >> gregg: let's jump into one of

them. gingrich's think tank has paid $37 million by the health care industry. according to gingrich, here is what they got in return. we'll put it up on the screen. they got to visit with a really important guy who really knows a lot and who really has lots of information. you had a chance to be in meetings with somebody that was speaker of the house. he also got as we mentioned $1.8 million from freddie mac and said he worked only an hour a month for them. we did the math, it turns out to be $30,000 an hour which prompted the "washington post" to write the following. the role of an influenced broker could become a political problem for gingrich reminding voters he is a longtime washington insider despite his outsider rhetoric. is is that valid, do you think?

>> i think so. i think some of his activities since he left washington, since he stepped down as speaker will come under renewed scrutiny. i don't think what he did is uncommon for a former lawmaker, a lot of members of congress go on to consulting gigs and reap the benefits. >> gregg: but trying to peddle for profit. your status as former speaker. i know it is common there but not everybody who does it there is running for president. >> absolutely. i think that is perfectly the point. it's fine for former member from texas or louisiana or connecticut to do it if they don't return to public life. members of congress they go to the street or do consulting

activity and wanted to come back and run as a candidate and after they have done a consulting gig, they have a lot more questions they need to answer than before. >> gregg: first response, well, as to freddie mac i was a paid historian. he is changing his story in light of evidence that it was a lot more than that. we're going to be talking to susan estrich the next hour. we have a long laundry list. let's bring up ron paul. on our air, he said he has no intention of running as a third party candidate but when pressed he repeatedly refused to rule it out. what would that do to the electoral equation? >> first off, i'll say i don't think ron paul is going to try the third party gig. it's a huge hurdle to get on the

ballot in 50 states. if he did do it it would be disastrous for the republican field. we think about some of the closer elections we have, if you are third candidate from the republican side pulling 3% it has a major impact on the field and the general election results. i think it would be bad for republicans if he went through with it, but i doubt he will in the end. >> gregg: great to see you. >> heather: horrific scene outside yale harvard football game in new haven, connecticut. someone crashed a u-haul truck into the tailgating area killing at least one woman. injuring two others. driver rooryd entered the parking lot but it's unclear why he crashed into the woman. the driver is now being questioned by police. >> gregg: ncaa has launched an

investigation of penn state university looking into whether the school broke any rules in the handling of the child sex abuse scandal that has rocked the campus. david lee miller is live at university park, pennsylvania. >> reporter: it was actually on thursday that the ncaa sent the letter to penn state. among other things, they say they want to examine the exercise of what it calls institutional control over athletic programs at the university. and the consequences could be very broad here including among other things, we are told, the possible docking of scholarships banning the school to take part in ball games. they have until december 16th to respond. university president says penn state is going to cooperate. in another development many still reeling from news released late yesterday that fired head coach joe paterno has lung cancer. the news was announced by his son in a statement to the

associated press. he was diagnosed after being hospitalized last week for what was first thought to be nothing more than an illness. they released a statement, it's unfortunate news and sad note for the penn state community. his son who is a coach on the team, by the way, described his reaction after getting the diagnosis. >> he waved he off. i'll be fine. you worry about coaching football team. you got a game next week. don't worry about me. every day i've gone to the house on to bug him. he has a tendency to minimize things. i think he's going to be fine. >> reporter: penn state is on the field this hour playing ohio state in columbus. for those keeping track, they are now leading 10-0 as the game continues. >> gregg: david lee miller, thanks very much. please join him and myself and john roberts tonight for more

in-depth coverage for the scandal at penn state. the crisis at penn state," the,". >> the u.s. set to put more pressure on tehran. new measures designed to stop them from building a nuclear bomb. >> gregg: a massive buzz over los angeles, noise from helicopters hitting a new high. how the city plans to crack down on the choppers. turn right up ahead. you never upda me. so, now i just have to wing it. i meant turn left up ahead. recalculating. turn right now!

>> gregg: time for a quick check of the headlines, afghanistan is calling for a long term security pact with the united states. the new measure calls for the end of unpopular nighttime raids and may keep u.s. troops in afghanistan past the 2014 withdrawal dated. new violence erupting in syria one day after the government agreed to welcome observers to oversee a peace

plan. they estimate nearly 3500 people have been killed since march. >> a 52-car pile-up, leaving three people dead. exact cause of the accident is still under investigation. >> heather: we already know the freeways of los angeles are packed with traffic, but apparently so are the skies. because of this helicopters buzzing around at all times of the day and night creating a ton of noise. now, the city is calling on the faa to step casey stegall is live in los angeles. casey, noise isn't the only concern, right? >> reporter: no, it's not. some call the helicopters airborne peeping toms because they are equipped with high-tech cameras that allow the operators to zoom in and snap detailed pictures and video on the ground. it's especially a problem over

hollywood where they fly over neighborhoods trying to get the best pictures of celebrities. there are strict guidelines for airplanes but a lot of people don't realize this. with helicopters it is mostly self-regulated. one california congressman says it's time for that to change. >> the impacts of that activity, not so much on the celebrities but on all the neighbors of those people, are very disturbing. they fly at very low altitudes. they invade privacy. they make a great deal of noise. >> reporter: which is why he introduced legislation calling on the faa to impose airspace restrictions over the city of los angeles. the bill is currently in a house subcommittee. >> heather: so what do pilots have to say about all this?

>> reporter: they have a lot to say about it. i spoke to a news helicopter pilot they say very rarely do they fly below 1,000 feet, that is to cut down on the noise and be less intrusive. the professional helicopter pilots association also talking saying that airspace and altitude restrictions would actually create air traffic congestion. you have a lot of aerial sightseeing companies that say this would take money out of their pockets. >> people wanted to bring in legislation to regulate the helicopters. i don't think it's good for us. i think that people don't understand some of the work that most of us do. >> reporter: law enforcement would be exempt from this bill if it passes. they have large fleets. lapd operating 18 helicopters. l.a. county sheriff's office has 17 and the fire department here

operates 6 but again they would be exempt if it passes. we'll keep you posted. >> heather: thank you very much. casey stegall live in l.a. for us. >> gregg: super committee is working overtime to tackle the debt crisis. deadline for a deal is days away. what happens if they can't reach a compromise? plus.... >> heather: dropping the ball. what one school is banning students doing on the playground. the best approach to food is tkeep it whole for better nutrition. that's what they do with great grains cereal.

nuclear weapon. peter doocy has the story. >> iran's official news agency says they started a military exercise this morning, not far from the afghan border. this is coming out as reports are surfacing that the obama administration wants more sanctions against iran basically to stop foreign countries from investing in their oil and gas industries. days ago, the iaa reported that nuclear program is not as peaceful as they claim. >> the iaea information that they have carried out relevant to the development of a nuclear device. >> reporter: they say iran is not to believe any of this. >> it's all fabricated in order to have the pretext of putting pressure on iran but more than that, to change the iea to international watchdog. >> on top of that the assembly

voted to deplore the assassination plot from saudi arabia ambassador weeks ago here in d.c. they say it shows that iran is becoming more and more isolated. >> it indicates i think the isolation that iran is undergoing right now with respect to the choices they have made on the nuclear program. >> reporter: and he said late last night china and russia are on board with the u.s. because we share the common goal of not letting iran developing a nuclear weapon. >> heather: peter, thank you. >> gregg: this isn't the first time the united states has tried to put pressure on iran. now round of sanctions really the answer here? rick grenell joins us. always good to see you. the new sanctions would aim to

bar foreign companies from aiding their petrochemical industry with the threat of depriving those industries access to the u.s. market. but some of those sanctions stopped, banks and other financial companies that have business in u.s. from working with iran, that hasn't worked. so why would this sanction work? >> i think you hit it right on the head. it's a good point. let's be clear what we're talking about. this is an important point. sanctions on iran need to be universal sanctions. the last time the obama administration was able to put sanctions on iran was june of 2009 when security council, the only body that can actually put international sanctions on a country, security council put those sanctions on in june of 2009. the obama administration has not tried for international sanctions since.

this new announcement yesterday that they are going to somehow come up with unilateral sanctions is smoke and mirrors. let's be clear about that. >> gregg: why do you say that? >> they are only talking about u.s. sanctions on the petrochemical industry. we already bar every american company from doing business with iran. >> gregg: would it seem to punish foreign companies from doing business in the united states if they don't go along with the petrochemical ban in iran? >> right. that is big small if. what you are asking foreign companies, only foreign companies, to choose business with the united states or doing business with iran. a lot of those companies have already made that decision and not doing that much business with iran. if we did this alone it's not good enough. what tom donolon was saying is

that iran is isolated. iran is not isolated. russians and chinese have not put forward their approval of international sanctions. they scared away the obama administration. unilateral sanctions are not enough. >> gregg: top congressional leaders, including boehner including nancy pelosi sent a letter to the president yesterday. we're talking about both sides of aisle here, top leaders. they asked the president you have to put stiff sanctions on iran's central bank which finances not only the nuclear program but the revolutionary guard and so forth. is that a good idea, or would it as the obama administration worries, drive up global energy prices and hurt american consumers? >> you are asking me to make a decision on whether or not our economy is going to suffer more if we put on sanctions on an

iranian bank. >> gregg: exactly. >> iran is going to get a nuclear weapon. sanctions have not pressured iranian government to stop their pursuit of a nuclear weapon. we don't have much time. i say we have to do everything we can. let's do unilateral sanctions, international sanctions, let's sanction the bank. if you don't want war, you better be for every sanction imaginable right now. ,> gregg: your former boss, johr this is a quote, there are two outcomes, one is they get nuclear weapons, the other is israel uses military force to stop it. that is where we are. would you agree? >> unfortunately i do agree. i think sanctions have a chance, but for the last 18 months this administration has relieved the

pressure off iran and the obama team has tried to do personal diplomacy. >> gregg: which would be worse? the blowback and they're certainly would be severe blowback or the inevitable nuclear arms race in the middle east if iran gets a nuclear weapon. other countries would race to get nuclear weapons, as well. which is worse? >> i think it's worse to have a nuclear arms race because it won't just be in middle east. it will be latin american. there be african countries saying we're next. >> gregg: rick, great to see you. thanks so much. >> we'll be airing an updated version of special iran's nuclear secrets, this sunday, 9:00 p.m. hosted by bill hemmer right here on the fox news channel.
