warning all americans about international travel spectacularly in the midoast and north africa. and two embassies and consulates will close as a precaution. tomorrow is also president obama's birthday and the now president of iowa ran is supposed to be worn in. before the president left to play golf he got an update and he will get additional updates throughout the woke week. the embassies and consulates that will close will stretch from eastern africa to bangladesh. the u.s. picked up increased chatter that a terror attack plan is in the final stages and could be carried out in coming days. two top republican law makers are spoking out on the alert. homeland security chairman peter

king said there is specific information there is a plot but not chlor where and representative mike rogers said the threats are real and source. one fox nows military analyst shoes that various cells of al-qaeda are linking up. >> they can threaten wide areas of the world, american interests in wide areas of the world and do it with impunitiy. we learned about what happened in benghazi when you don't send out alerts. it shoes how the american influence is waning in this part of the world. congressman king said the main driving forces al-qaeda in the ar arab peninsula. >> as molly mentioned, newsna germany and united kickdom will

close their embassies in yemen. the situation in yemen is volatile with continuing unrest and violent clashes and threat the escalation of violence and disorder remains. if you travel to yemen against our advice you should regularly reassess your security and plan and movements around the country carefully. >> it is chlor that al-qaeda interest raise concerns disspite dismantling the terrorist operation. this particular warning to embassies and travellers is raising questions about the timing of the attack. our next guest knows what it is loc to live in that part of the world. edwin walker has been an ambassador to israel and egypt and united arab emirates.

>> what do you make of the timing of this warning now? >> the organizations try to target big dates and gives them more exposures and encourages their appearance and so on. you have to watch out when you get chose to september 11th. that is a big date for them. it is also a factor that this is the period of ramma dan and clos ramma dap and religious holiday of great importance and also plays in the desire to make a splash at this poip in time. i don't think the date or timing is unusual. the fact is, what is unusual is the spectacular kinds of conversations that our people are listening to. >> you think closing two embassies and consulates is a response to safe guard against

security lapses that were evident in the tragedy in benghazi? >> certainly. when i was assistant secretary we closed all of the embassies in the araban pensin sulas because we had information they didn't have. and the white house has to take responsibility. the president who takes the heat on this. it is not unprecedented. we closed a lot and that issued this global threat last year before september 11th, and it is only a prudent action to be taken and if it saves lives tis all the more important. and if you don't do it and something happens, somebody will pay a price. >> there are those who suggest if this threat is tied to al-qaeda in yemen it may be in response to the recent deaths of the deputy leader there.

>> we are successful in knocking off leaders of al-qaeda in the araban penin sula. we are down to -- we have killed 22, and 1 is still at large, throw turned themselves in. and so yeah, they, they so the role danger here and we aree areect -- effective. >> what does it do to the world. and what message does it send to the terrorist? >> it sends the message that indeed, we are on top of this. and they can't operate in the shadows anymore. and it may convince them not to go forward with the plan they have in place. they may think well, we have got the tabs on them. and soine if it does that, it is a success.

but also it tells our own people that it is source. if i am an ambassador in saudi arabia and egypt and the u.s. government orders me to close my embassy and all they do chose your embassy, i am some what skeptical about it. i had one case where the ambassador refused to do it. that doesn't help. and so, they have to send a message to the american public and send a message to the terrorist and to our own people. nmr. ambassador, thank you for joining us with your insight. we appreciate it. >> news that a botched attack on an indian consulate in afghanistan killed nine people there, most of them children. they set off a car bomb as they approached a checkpoint in ja la la bad.

>> the wall street journal said a grand jury is investigating a company that investigated edward snowden and whether the latest security back check firm cut corners to increase its process. the firm is fully cooperating with the government and declined to comment any further on this case. treasury secretary jack l. ew is accused of blocking an investigation in the irs. elizabeth is following the latest thread. >> subpeona documents from the administration this week accusing jack lew's agency of getting in the way of targeting and investigation of conservative groups. what has been handed over was

largely filled with redakzs. they were zeroing in on danny werfel. >> you delivered less than one percent. excuse me for standing. i have to get over your stack. you delivered less than one percent of the documents. >> i disagree. >> and the agencies not blocking the investigation and the irs was planning to turn over pages by friday. this is as eliowa ja h general talked about george blocking information. >> and so you were about to hand us documents, the same coined of documents mr. issa just asked about and then the id said no? >> we are involved in a thorough comprehensive effort to fully cooperate with all of the congressional committees that

are asking for witnesses and documents. >> and in a joint statement. leaders of the senate finance committee wants the irs to be more cooperative and release more documents. >> thank you very much. that is not all of the problems. the acting chief danny werfel is saying he doesn't want obama care. >> i can speak for myself. i prefer to stay with the current policy that i am plosed with rather than go through a change if i don't need to go through that change. >> as you might imagine that is fuelling the critics of the law and encouraging werfel to distance himself from the agency. >> welcome. >> how are you now? >> what prompted werfel to make it public on a personal side he

wont opt for obama care? >> he's got a good health care program. it is telling you that the folks who run the government of the united states, they have a good deal, and they take a look at what president obama passed and said that is not a good deal and we don't want it. there is a trend in the government for 3 or 4 decades now, where government employees, especially in the federal level and upper levels, they vote for themselves and receive pay and benefits that the average citizens are not receiving and role working americans are not seeing real incomes rise in actual terms in like 40 years and folks in government moved above and beyond that and that helps to explain the growing dichotemmy between government and the american people. >> and here you have werfel who is the latest to add his name to

the list of growing opponents to the current state of obama care and unions not signing on to this. >> and that is right. what is coming, republicans have been critical of that and vast majority of americans if they had an option they would vote no on obama care. but coming down the road is obama care and hard to so how the republican party or conservatives in the congress stop it. senator cruz said they ought to pass a continuing resolution and dropout all follow-upping for one program, obama care. that could shift do you like the obama care to do you want to see the government shutdown and that would divide the country and republicans. i think we have coming up this october, a real donnie brook that make its look insignificant.

>> the president is on in a real way. there are those who are critical of obama care what want the gop to stand together and try to defund obama care in a time when many people thought that opportunity had passed. narcotics you -- >> you are right. the republican party wants to do everything it can to block obama care. 55- 40, the count row is against it. but can can it be done. the time is on the president's side. deadlines have passed one after another and i guess you get exchanges that go in affect in october 1st. and if you move we are trying to stop obama care and if we have to shut down the government, then the coalition you brought

together, i think it could divide and you can so the republicans moving at each other's throats and a lot of harsh language. senator cruz is leading the battle and the hawks in the senate are doing battle and they want boehner's house to take the lead and say obama care will not be funded. but in the senate harry reid said it goes back in. is the government then shut down? and then is the issue of obama care or who shut down the government? and who do you think that president obama will place the blame? if you will, the old civil war. lee had the high ground and gettysburg and then you send the by up to picket the charge and what do you do then? >> it is a pleasure to have you

and it is shaping up to be a battle. >> it really is. >> monday is believed to be the deadline for yankee's all-star alex rodriguez and 13 other players to accept suspension. major league baseball is threatening rodriguez with a lifetime ban. after the game he feel said he felt singled out. >> all of the stuff in the background and people are finding creative ways to cancel your contract and stuff like that. that is concerning for me and concerning for the present and future players as well. there is a process and i am excited about the way i feel tonight and i will keep fighting. >> now rodriguez is the highest paid player in the majors. he could avoid a lifetime ban if he avoids a suspension.

regulation in >> i hope so. be responsible and reasonable and look at the facts. uma, there is 8 billion tons of coal in the world. we burn 1 billion in america. if the president and this administration believes that reducing and eliminating the use of coal in america it will clean up the global environment, i don't think it stops in north america. there is more coal being burned. china burns half of the coal in the world in china. >> you are on record saying that you believe that the administration is waging a war on the coal industry, do you stand by that? >> i told them that, absolutely. it is not just cheap talk or i'dle rhetoric.

house is not to hopeful but we'll see. i hope gin mccarthy will understand that this is a resource that has built america. coal led the industrial revolution. and makes the stills and guns and fact rows, we have done it all in our little state and we want to provide the energy this country needs. we need the administration, our president to step up and be our partner. that's not to which to ask for. >> senator manchin. thank you for joining us on the insights on this controversial matter. we wish you all of the best. >> thank you for having me. another mission in space launches today. four tons worth of splois set to be is not to the international space station. they will be sending water and spare parts and experiments for
