we'll tell you next. let's get underway. we begin with a major shake up at the department of veterans affairs. the agency plagued by growing patient care scandal. now a top v.a. official stepping down over allegations of misconduct that may have resulted in dozens of veterans death. molly is live from washington with more details. >> the man who you just saw, robert pet zel resigned yesterday. he was set to retire later this year until shinseki pushed him out after reports across the country of v.a. employees creating secret waiting lists and falsifying lists to make it look like patients were seen quickly when they weren't. after the resignation the white house put out a statement, the
10:02 am
president supports secretary shinseki's decision. he was asked to conduct a review of veteran's review to access to care and that is op -- ongoing. shinseki said he will not step down. john mccain said the v.a. should give administrators more executive authority to hire and it results with congress not revealing, a core of veteran from the top leadership to the career civil servants. >> the white house wants to wait for an inspector general's
10:03 am
report before taking action but the senator said that could take many months and wants the president and congress to act now. kelly. >> molly, thank you for the report. so the v.a. top health care official leaving his post over the scandal but is that enough to deal with the agency's endemic problems? we'll speak with general jack king when he joins us live later this hour. thousands of firefighters battling several wildfires in southern california. the flames burned 20,000 acres destroying homes and a building. a 57-year-old man charged in connection with one of the fires has pled not guilty to arson. dominique dc di-natale is live n marcos in an apartment building burned to the ground. >> absolutely. the man is alberto soranto.
10:04 am
he was adding brush to bushes smoldering. and it could bring back the scale of five. and this is in oceanside where we've seen a number of fires but the big discussion is what is happening in camp pendleton where we have the marine base. the marines using their ch-43s to put out the flames. here is how one marine described the intensity of the task at hand. >> the operations today are similar to how the marine corp answers the call, whether it be combat operations or natural disasters at home. >> it is that wild, believe it or not. we have six active large fires going on in san diego county. two people arrested for starting
10:05 am
small fires elsewhere. and they are being charged with arson in escondido. we know the san bernardino to the north was started by a backhoe at a development site. no charges there. it appears to be an accident. investigation still underway in what caused all of the 11 fires we've seen in the past week and the authorities are believing they may have been actually started on purpose, julie. back to you. >> dominique, thank you so much. more flashes erupting in turkey days after a mining disaster. firing teargas and bullet to break up a protest. demonstrators angered by the deaths of 301 miners. many are angry and blame the government and the mining company for putting costs over
10:06 am
the miner's lives. the turkish government and miners officials deny the claims. and the sounds of gunfire and bomb blasts echo across the city in eastern ukraine. ukrainian security forces clashing. before another round of talks, aimed at diffusing the crisis. tell us more about today's fighting. >> reporter: julie, there was more fighting across the region. armed pro-russian separatists had a shootout with ukrainian border guards returning to ukraine from russia and then detained. in slavey arrange, also a lot of
10:07 am
trouble. our contacts say some of the worst fighting that has been heard and seen in the area for the past several days, an area we have been spending some time in. rebels claim to be holding 37 check points around that town. the hitch is there are ukrainian military and that is causing trouble. this week there was an ambush of ukrainian soldiers and seven were killed in that clash, julie. >> what is the latest on the efforts to end the crisis once and for all? >> reporter: there are talks being conducted today in one city backed by the european union, but as -- no insurgent leaders are included, it is just local and national leaders, analysts are not holding out too much hope. they are holding out a little bit more hope for what we found when we went to the city of mary
10:08 am
pold. that is the scene of a lot of clashes recently. when we went it was calm. in part because local steel workers are out on the street. they are patrolling with police and cleaning their place up and their boss is breaking away from ukraine he says, is not good for business. we're waiting to see if this catches on anywhere else. temperatures expected to be much cooler across southern california. and a storm that dumped heavy rain in the northeast over the next few days now moving out of the region. janis is live in the fox weather center. janis, how are you? >> a beautiful picture outside of our studio. gorgeous, maybe my next weather report can be outside -- hint,
10:09 am
hint. we had rain across the northeast yesterday into the overnight, we still have scattered showers over the great west. nothing organized and not expecting severe weather. and also seeing in the northwest unsettled over the next several days as the storm system pushes through. however none of the moisture is going to get into the moisture starved region of california and the southwest which is not great news. however temperatures are going down and the relative humidity is going up, especially along the coast where we were dealing with record highs in and around the los angeles roifr last week. but still very warm conditions out west and that is where we can see the wildfire danger. and in san diego with temperatures over 100 degrees plus, into the workweek, temperatures in the 60s, relative humidity goes up and the winds go down so that will help firefighters. the bad news is the drought
10:10 am
situation is dire over california. severe to exceptional drought, 100%. and we're not expecting any moisture to get into this region until the rainy season which is typically october and november. and taking a look at your summer drought outlook, in the areas, that is persistent drought or intensification and that is not great news across the southwest and the summer plains heading into the summer. we need the moisture in areas we just don't think will get it. back to you. >> janis, it could be a tough summer. thank you. the question of president obama's nominee for health secretary and what they want to know. and a terrifying night in boston. a young girl seriously hurt during a red sox game. and we'll take a look at the

10:13 am
10:14 am
now for a quick check of the
10:15 am
headlines for you. record floods in the balkans, killing 20 people in serbia and bosnia. emergency crews are trying to rescue thousands of residents trapped in those towns. the overflowing water is threatening serbia's biggest power plant. a woman injured after falling two stories down an elevator shaft at fenway park. she landed on the roof of the elevator on the second floor. and the naacp elected cordele brooks to be the new ceo. he is currently serving on an urban organization. the president's nominee for health secretary silvia burwell, and tea party senators take a
10:16 am
crack at her and obama care. they have questions about enrollment costs and the employer mandate and abortion services. does she owe them answers. we are joined by fox news political analyst and david mercer for the dnc. and silvia burwell should be a shoo-in but it appears she is receiving opposition from senators cruz and lee. are they right to be asking her these types of questions. >> yes, they are right to ask those questions. because they are representing their constituency. you have a lot of tea partiers that are conservative and they want to know about abortion issues. she committed to tell congress about it, and yes, she should answer those questions. >> and they want to ask her about obama care and to that end, is this something that could be an impediment to her getting confirmation?
10:17 am
>> i think she's so very qualified, as we saw in the confirmation vote for her to be the director of the omb. it was 96 senators to zero that voted for her confirmation. it is hard to believe that one, she's not going to address questions posed by senators, which is custom to do so. she will respond. and we will hear answers from her and see her confirmation, i think before the end of the month, given her qualifications. look, she served as deputy director of omb back in the '90s and over saw three straight budget surpluses. >> david she -- >> let me get a question in here. [ overlapping speakers ] >> a lot of people know her great record with the omb but senator cruz and lee are asking under what legal authority did omb take such action in terms of
10:18 am
the budget for the obama care and could she run into trouble there angela? >> i don't know if she can run into trouble. it is fair game. when you go before senator confirmation, those questions are fair. and the 8 million people who signed up, how many of them have pied the first month premiums. obama care is a train wreck and she's taking it over and what will she do to make a better system and i think all questions are fair. >> and david, people would look at this from the outside looking in and say she's qualified for this position and she should take it over, what is the big fuss and they might go so far as to ask the question are senators cruz and lee involved in this, not for their constituents but just to make noise? >> we've seen they have a
10:19 am
tendency to want to make more noise than they want to make policy, we saw that when they tried to shut down the government on obama care. and if i might speak to angela's point about who has paid their premiums. we just saw in a house meeting last week, or a week ago, that the ceo's from the insurance companies that 80-90% of those enrolled have paid their premiums. so we're getting answers to questions and we'll get more answers from the director of the -- of the omb during confirmations. >> but david -- >> let me ask you a question, angela, since we are talking about senators lee, and what happened with john boehner, is this a centrifuge for cruz and lee to start occupying leadership positions? >> you know what, kelly, the
10:20 am
grand party, and we have a lot of diversity and cruz and lee are not the face of the party. bo boehner is still the speaker of the house. and i can go down the list of the members in the party. they might be utilizing this confirmation and put out politics and have cab oaky theater. >> i like that answer, cab oaky theater. david. >> they are trying to steal the show or the stage, but with such a qualified nominee for the secretary of hhs that you will find that they will be on the faith for a moment and that is about it. she will be confirmed and we ca care to cover more individuals and millions more. >> kelly, i just have one thing
10:21 am
to add. >> final word, please. >> when you have a broken car and you get a new driver, it doesn't mean the car will be fixed so this lady has a big job in front of her and obama care is the problem and it is broken. >> well i think you would have 8 million people and more that would disagree with you that now have access to health care and not think it is a broken car and have insurance should that car -- >> is it qualify care. >> and as we talk about cars, i hope you're insured by your cars. have a good saturday. >> thank you. you have a good weekend too. today marks the 60th anniversary of a historic decision. brown versus the board of education. the landmark ruling by the supreme court desecrated public
10:22 am
education in america by declaring separate schools for black and white children unconstitutional. elizabeth cran is live in washington. hi, elizabeth. >> reporter: it was six decades today declaring the outlaw of separation in schools. brown versus board of education was a major victory for equal justice. and while being celebrated does not preventin justs from happening today. many say the department of justice continues to monitor nearly 200 school districts where there is evidence that segregation still exists. >> over the last few weeks and last few months, we have seen occasional jarring reminders of the discrimination and the isolated repugnant racist views that in someplaces have yet to be overcome. >> and while speaking to a group
10:23 am
of students in topeka kansas where it originated, michelle obama told them they are the living, breathing legacy of the case and warns the students about the possibility of segregation even in schools today. >> many young people in america are going to school largely with kids who look just like them. and too often, those schools aren't equal. >> the republican national committee releasing a statement today saying the decision affirmed the principal that in america all children deserve a great education and a chance to create their american dream. julie, back to you. >> elizabeth, thank you so much. no child left behind, coming up in today's beyond the dream, a look at charter schools and how they are leveling the playing field for those students growing up in american cities. plus a top v.a. official stepping down for the growing
10:24 am
scandal engulfing the agency but critics pointing out that he was due to retire later this year any way. so is this really what accountable looks like? jack king joins us live with his reaction. >> to date, we found no evidence of a secret list and we have no patients who have died because they have been on a wait list. care what age you are.

10:28 am
back to our top story. new fallout over the growing scandal at the veterans affairs. robert petzel stepping down one day after testifying before the senate veterans affairs committee. but critics point out he was slated to retire this year any way. and does that count? and does this address the misconduct that may have caused dozens of veterans deaths.
10:29 am
jack joaquin is a retired four star general and it is great to have you on and this is such a touchy subject and most of us have someone who served the country and they deserve to be honored when they return and a lot of the problems are hundreds of thousands of back-up claims and leading to 40 patient deaths and rather than fix the problem, phony records were made to cover up the delays. what does this mean to you? >> well i think there is enough evidence out there certainly to give you the sense that the cap abilities of the v.a. are not meeting the demands of our veterans. and i'm convinced we need a comprehensive review to look at the organization, the culture and resources and capabilities to meet the needs of the veterans and their long-term health needs in the 21st century. so much has changed in terms of
10:30 am
veterans and their type of injuries. and the sheer demographics of our country in terms of where the population is moving to and we have to make certain that the v.a. in the 21st century is there for our vets. and i think the evidence is beginning to tell us, it is not and we have to get our arms around this thing. >> we want to see the president step in. critics say, as with prior controversies in the past, the administration's response just isn't nearly aggressive enough. once again the president is being accused of relying on political allies without directly addressing anyone. >> something has happened here. we just did testimony, julie, as you pointed out, a couple of days ago. and although petzel was involved in the testimony and most of the testimony surrounded the fact there is an ongoing
10:31 am
investigation take place and we'll get the results of that and when we do get the results we'll hold people accountable and get to the bottom of it. and here we sit 48 hours later and he's been asked to offered to. and it tells me that secretary shinseki, who i know well, he wants to do the right thing. he has information where he has lost confidence in petzel and held him accountable and as a result of that he is leaving. and i expect the testimony next time around with the house will be quite different because he has information that is very specific that would lead to petzel being removed and i'm sure he's going to share that with the congress in a way that didn't take place in the last testimony. >> v.a. secretary shinseki, as you said, doesn't plan on resigning. you say he is an honorable man but what do you believe he should do. should he offered to? >> i don't think any one of us can look at that and make that
10:32 am
kind of judgment. listen, i worked for him for 4 1/2 years. this is the stress test we apply to leaders. number one, is the system failure under the personal supervisor responsibility of that leader and if that is the case and it is serious, then the leader should go. number two, do you believe this leader has the capability to fix the scale of the problem? if not, the leader should go. it is tough for anybody outside of the system to make the judgment. here is what will happen. julie, the two committees that have over site of the v.a., if the senate and house democrats do not believe that general shinseki can fix the problems because of the scale of it and don't have confidence in them, then probably he would be asked to offered to. but knowing him, if he senses that is the case or if he senses also that his polies have con -- his policies have contributed to this behavior, he would walk
10:33 am
away himself. >> and i know the phone records is criminal activity. you have to prove who learned about the phony records and whoever knows about the phoney records should be punished. not just forced to offered to but punishment. do you think charges should be brought against whoever is responsible. >> i wouldn't run the cops in there right now. i would let the investigation determine if there was criminal evidence and if that was the case, they would call the fbi to pursue a criminal investigation parallel to the other investigation. but we get focused on that easily. >> it is hard not to, when you talk about 40 vets who died. >> no, i'm talking about the phony records issue, julie. why do they have the phony records? they exist because the standards in the v.a. they are being held to meet, in other words frequency of care, they can't meet the care with the resources
10:34 am
they have available, i would imagine, and they are creating phony records. we have to get at that problem as well because that is a symptomatic problem of the real cause of the issue. i just want answers for loved ones who lost veterans who fought for this country and died here on american soil, not fighting enemies but neglected by our veteran system that is supposed to take care of our vets. i believe somebody should pay and justice should be served. general cane, thank you for joining us. and will congress hold those responsible? tune in for an interview of senator johnny isakson tomorrow right here on the fox news channel. the united states is stepping up the involvement in the effort to rescue nearly 300

kidnapped nigerian girls. officials from the u.s., britain and france meeting with leaders from five african nations. they are looking for an answer from boko haram that took the girls. they have not been quick to help and militaries will not get involved. the thurgood marshall college fund president and ceo johnny c. taylor said the landmark case brown versus board of education has caused many conversations but the journey continues. this means people remain hard at work to level the playing field academically which brings our focus to charter schools in the inner cities of america. they are designed to help kids in low income areas to excel beyond a dream.
10:36 am
>> these students are the embodiment of good minds and hearts coming together for one good cause, to gain a great education. students who attend d.c. prep are called d.c. preppies. they live in the hardest areas around the capital but have the best education. it was founded by emily lawson, a native of d.c. on how to bridge the educational divide between the haves and the have-notes. >> i grew up in washington and i knew there was a huge gap to kids what were offered to kids in northwest d.c. and the rest of the city and i wanted to do something about that. >> emily got a first education herself and then brought her vision to the inner city who had been under performing academically. something she discovered as a
10:37 am
student tutor in middle school. >> i was assigned to tutor a boy with his homework and it was odd because he was my same age. and we were doing homework together in the afternoon and after he didn't want to do his homework, that he can't read. and this was hugely shocking. i didn't know anyone my age that couldn't read. >> the team preps are dedicated against the odds they face relying on true grit and tenacity to advance. >> i want to be a politician some day. >> and what do you want to do as a politician? >> as a politician, i hope to help children, under privileged, like kids whose parents are on food stamps and stuff like that. when i first came to this school, they were really strict and they gave me a lot of hard questions, hard tests. and the first chances of tests i
10:38 am
got, i failed them. i'm not ashamed to say it. but as soon as i got used to the curriculum, i started to pass with flying colors. >> d.c. prep taught me anything is possible and you can achieve anything. >> they are helping to fulfill the needs of parents who want a better choice for their kids but lack the means to provide it. >> what is special about charter schools and what excites me about this sector is the diversity of it. you have people on the conservative end and the liberal end of the spectrum coming together to advocate for special children. >> they said the greatest success is based on academic performance and achievement of students and these students are excelling in science, technology and math. >> we have to be able to provide opportunities to kids growing up so they can do whatever they choose to do in life. so they can fulfill their own potential and give back to their
10:39 am
country. >> and that is a good thing. the vision of d.c. prep and several charter schools around the world is to nullify the educational disparity so every child can have a chance to achieve goals regardless of race or color and setting them up for success. howard fuller once said in 1963 four black students go to a lunch counter in north carolina to be served and they are not because of the color of their skin. and fast forward today, you have four students go to the lunch counter where they are accepted but can't read the menu. very profound. >> and so important and at a very young age. children are going to school at the ages of 2 and 3. >> and the charter schools, they get them at 3 and start focusing their attention on excellence. >> great place to start. >> it really is. the most important meal of the day, so they say -- >> guess what it is? >> breakfast. >> does your breakfast look like
10:40 am
that? >> most looks like that. >> i still would if i could. >> news that will make you think twice while shopping in the kearial aisle. >> and what will cost a car maker over a deadly defect and is it enough? okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

general motors fined $35 million by the federal government for cars plagued with ignition switch problems, blamed for 40 crashes and killing at least 13 people. but coming togetherics say the fine is too little. especially for a company that made over $30 billion in revenue last quarter. still the transportation secretary said a message is being sent. >> what we cannot tolerate, what we will never accept is a person or a company that knows danger exists and says nothing. literally, silence can kill. >> well joining me now president of car gal investment management. good to see you. this is something that gets a lot of people upset when you see a big company like general motors willingfully and woefully
10:45 am
reporting the facts and actually causing the deaths of 13 people and yet a slap on the wrist, $35 million. that is the way they are determining this. what do you say about this? >> well $35 billion when you look at the scope and the size of general motors today isn't really a disincentive for this bad behavior. now we have to remember this happened ten years ago. so what is this fine actually for? it is for the deception, the fact that they knew about this defect and failed to disclose it and properly recall these vehicles. so $35 million is too light. the proposal has been for 300 dollars but that is only 20% of the total quarterly revenues. >> what does it say about the core of corporate malfeasance. >> and that is the question. and we have to step back and say what do we want from regulation?
10:46 am
do we want regulators to step in and create a huge paper trail and be a burden to corporations so they can come in after the fact ten years later and assess fine or do we want them to partner with the big companies and work along so the vehicles today are safe rather than the vehicles ten years ago. we know about that defect. i'm more worried about the car i buy next year and will that effect be dangerous to me. >> you are going with that. and people right now are looking at the gm brand and having the same question or asking that question about other car companies around the country. and who is hiding what and will we see it in the dem or serious injure -- injuries of our loved ones. >> through all of this discussion about gm, we don't hear any talk about the
10:47 am
regulation to define this issue ten years ago. it came out today, not ten years ago. so we need to look at regulation and do a cost-benefit analysis of that and make sure that regulation is there to be pro-active rather than, like i say, coming in after the fact and assessing the fines because that doesn't help the people injured by this deception. >> and you are right. and one thing that comes to mind and i know some people are thinking about this. they are saying with a light $35 million fine here, people better not be hearing that gm is laying off workers? >> and that is the -- the problem with these after-the-fact fines, if they become too heavy and wipe out the profitability of a company, then you have to look back at that we'll have to come back as taxpayers and bail them out again. and that is not a solution either. it is getting to the point of trust where there is good corporate governance and when
10:48 am
problems are discovered they are immediately disclosed and so they can save the lives. >> mistakes do happen, but you don't cover it aup and move forward. mickey car guile, thank you for joining us. so would you eat a handful of cookies for breakfast? >> no. >> but is that what our children are eating? coming up, a study of cereal and what is on the box. mine was earned in korea in 1953. afghanistan, in 2009. orbiting the moon in 1971.
