that was great. be back here on monday. happening now starts right now. happy father's day. a few developing stories we are watching for you right now. and they have played a role in planning the 9/11 terrorist attacks. picking up a $2 billion tab and buying an on line reservation company. and fox news alert. terrorist on the march. al-qaeda fighters in iraq advanciing closer to baghdad.

>> president obama said the administration will look at a range of military options to help stop the terrorist but will not send u.s. ground troops back to iraq. militants who took control of the heartland northeast of baghdad. and hundreds of iraqi families are cloiming in the vehicles amid fears of clashes. we have seen conner powell from jerusalem. and first we'll go live with the latest on this disturbing swapgz. connar. >> reporter: uma, the capitol appears to be bracing for the worst. the attack could come at any moment. there are reports in the capitol of baghdad that martial law is instituted and people are fleeing out of an upcoming assault. iraq shitte leaders are calling

on volunteers to defend the country. iraq is split on religious and ethic lines. kurds have captured a stathey long coveted in the west. the sunni population are welcoming the fighters in syria with open arms. many feel marginalized by the government led by ma lak i. that maintained a strong ties with iran. the military is putting down the weapons and fleeing and not putting up a fight. and the government is divided. they can't pass a law in parliment and can't declare emergency law. the country is divided. it is no surprise in iraq and the middle east, how quickly

iridiculous is crumbling before our eyes. >> very troubling situation and one that we are following closely. >> the president is considering military option over the next several days. he did not specify what the u.s. will do to stop the terrorist from advancing on baghdad and becoming a bigger threat to the middle east and us at home. >> it is it a regional and long- term problem. what we have to do socombine selective actions by our military to make sure we are going after terrorist that could harm our personnel overseas or hit our home land. >> and why is this happening so badly, so quickly? >> joining us is a retired captain nash. you must be sick after all of the american blood that was spilled and the dedication andests and we are told that the

iraqi soldiers are surrendering. and just poof? >> i think it was 800 fighters over womened tens of this happeneds of soldiers and they collapsed. we are seeing castles built on sand with the inevitable happening and the government of iraq never fully incorporated the sunni in the new government. it is a pro iranian government. we have known that from the start. and the manner with which we departed the country, we have lost the big picture of what is going on, and you have a nasty capable and ruthless ground force cleaning up in the sunni area and the folks basically welcoming them. we'll see how that welcome lasts through the sharia law they are

imposing. they will probably not like that. but at this point, the enemy of my enemy is my friend and people in the sunni areas that is their own government. >> can they stand gains by the ruthless ground force. what happens when you get to baghdad? >> i think they can. one of the interesting things that occurred, eric the grand a yatollla h called on the iraqi people to take up arms and fight for the country. iraq is two-thirds shia. and if the grand a yatol authority la h gets them to take up arms they can turn back where they are marching now and down in to the shiite dominated region. >> that is a full- scale civil war? >> i think that's where we are

headed. it is to the point where the sunni is militarized and not that they should them before, but now you have a military force coming in although they are carrying the black flags of al-qaeda, they are in fact sunni. and we are seeing thousands of-year-old sunni- shiite battle play out again. >> thousand-year-old, and it is a religious battle. they are considering a range of optioning over the next several days. is that too late? they need help today. and he talks about selective actions by our military. what can we do if going to help the government? >> what our military leaders are considering what we can do from the aircraft carriers or land based air fields. >> what about that? >> it is a good question.

here is the issue. will sunni countries that have u.s. aircraft in them allow those aircraft to fly into iraq to fight against the sunni insurgency? >> and we don't know. >> you know, we will find out when we try to fly out of there. and this is right now, looking at potentially being the close air support for the islamic revolutionary guard. and the iranian troops are coming across the board into iraq and iraq doesn't have air power to deal with it. and if the u.s. were looking to it provide air power. and who are they? iranians? >> that potential partnership is

a dire situation. taliban played a lead role in the lead up to the 9/11 attack itself. it writes, there were three phases to the plot and the first two were in afghanistan and included a major offensive against the u.s.- backed northern a liiance and a key player in that offensive was

mohammed fazo that was traded out. >> one of the things you have to do look at these guys, it is very clear that all five are closely tied to al-qaeda prior to 9/11. >> reporter: as for afghanistan, taliban and al-qaeda believed that a murder and then the offensive would clear the battlefield for them. and so if there was retaliation by the united states for the high jacking of the jets it would be less effective in afghanistan. >> what is the administration saying about these men? >> reporter: theation said they are enemies of the afghan meem and not mef-- peopl

>> i am in no way defending these men, but being mid to high level officials in a regime doesn't mean they pose a threat to the united states. >> reporter: on a book tour mrs. clinton used the same lodge and i can critics say it is evidence, that the obama administration sidelined central intelligence and may have freed someone who facilitated the events leading up to the 9/11. they played a key role paving the way for the hijacking. uma? >> thank you, cathren. the luxury home that is dangling from a texas cliff. it is nor fort worth worth. it is being totally engulfed in flames. the homeowner did. it they had to make the heart

breaking decision to burn the condemned house. this is a controlled burn that they stieded to conduct because the house, four this happened square feet was teetering above the 75 to the cliff. what are you going to do? $700 for the home and condemned after the earth started to tumble in the water. what a heart breaking decision. a disturbing report that could affect the safety for us on the skies. air traffic controllers are working schedules that deprive them of sleep on the overnight shifts. controllers have fallen asleep on the job. that is according to the study that questions of the effectiveness to prevent controllers from suffering fatowing from work. there is no comment from the

faar, on the now report. hillary clinton went to washington d.c. promoting her latest book. the political buzz gets louder if she is in the nation's capitol for selling the bock or a presidential kick off run? carl, what do you think. >> reporter: everywhere she goes she is treated like a presidential cappedidate she is getting free media attention and for hillary clinton, that is risky in a long campaign. she tripped up recent lowboy saying when in the end of her husband's presidency they were broke when they made 15 million the next year. and the effort to reset russian relations was a brilliant stroke. russia is a bigger problem since those days. the latest poll shoes clinton's favorability has dropped to 52

percent from 56 percent in march. that is a 20 percent drop since secretary of state in 2012. >> first contest of 2016 is in iowa and the caucuses are a couple of years away. >> we spoke to a number of folks, particularly liberal democrats who said she didn't plan to run. and one clinton backer, and listen to how she put it. >> i speculate and i think that is good for hillary. and you know, it helps to sharpen your arguments and your presentations and your campaign if you have a challenger and i think it would be a good thing for her. >> she said that back in 2008. >> and ultimately she was beat in the first race and not able

to recover from it. >> the they are holding the convention this week and republican presidential candidates as well. rand paul and bobby and rick sanatorium going there to shake hands with the republicans getting ready for the caucuses. >> thank you very much, carl. appreciate your insight. you think she will run again? will hillary clinton run for president in 2016? a live chat. i am only joking, but go on the live chat up and running. fox news.com/happening now. and click on america is asking. join the debate about hillary clinton. and a hotel website price list, and how it affects the way we get a seat in our favorite restaurant. ugh. heartburn.

did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. but we're not in the business of spokespenaming names.kswagen passat is heads above the competition, the fact is, it comes standard with an engine that's been called the benchmark of its class. really, guys, i thought... it also has more rear legroom than other midsize sedans. and the volkswagen passat has a lower starting price than... much better. vo: hurry in and get 0% apr for 60 months on 2014 passat gasoline models plus a $1000 contract bonus. our cheese is going thin in a big way. with our ultra thin slices, you can now enjoy the same

>> is it a case of reading between the lines, hillary clinton stopping between washington d.c. to promote her new boovenlth but is it really a book tour or unofficial launch of her presidential campaign. and what do voters in the first caucus state have to say about hillary clinton? bob, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me.

>> do you think she is scoring points here in favor of her running? >> oh, definitely. there is no doubt about it. hillary clinton is running for president. there is a couple of former clinton aides. i think they are head fakes. there is no doubt about it, she is running and the book is a clear indication she is running for president. she has the support of 60 democrats that would support her in a primary and she hadn't launched her campaign. i think she is doing good things here, in the book she mentioned that her iraq vote in 2002 is a mistake. she struggled that. she's distancing herself from president obama. she had a couple of gaffes. saying we were broke when we left the high school. >> and you may have seen in our earlier report. the approval ratings have

dropped. >> she does have concerns, uma. what caused. it she finished third behind not only obama but john edwards. she has issues in iowa. and she is a front opener. elizabeth warren said she is not running and then she changed her mind. she will be chnged. there is missteps along the way and particularly when she pointed to the fact the relationship with russia is better than it used to be.

that is what they need to come up. what were her accomplishments. and not a long answer but something that is 55y and that is hard to say. and that is not easy to pick out major victories there and they are standing in the world is not phenomenal. president obama would do. that and so that is a problem for hillary clinton. and at the same time she is going to be formidable and have a lot of money. critics will go after her and show when she was secretary of state. there was a lot of problems around the globe where the u.s. apparently was seen not as a ally backing its neighbors when push comes to shove. many countries lost confidence

in the evident and whether it would be there when needed. >> it is clear. not only benghazi but iraq or russia and what it she do to make things better? republicans are going to have political ammunition to go after her. and foreign policy is front and center and we are seeing this week, foreign policy is leading the news. and that is going to be one of her weaknesses as a candidate. and thank you for the insight. it will be interesting to see how it plays out. >> and the islamic mill at that points in iraq are on the move. and predictions of civil war. every day iraqis are finding themselves in the middle. and forced to flee their homes with nothing. how bad has it become? so i can reach ally bank 24/7 but there are no branches?

24/7 i'm sorry- i'm just really reluctant to try new things. really? what's wrong with trying new things? you feel that in your muscles? yeah...i do... drink water. it's a long story. well, not having branches lets us give you great rates and service. i'd like that. experience a new way to bank where no branches = great rates. ally bank. your money needs an ally.

advancing in baghdad. who is behind the group and can we stop them? again fer griffith has the latest from the pentagon. >> reporter: hi, eric. the leader of isis is well known and he was in custody in southern iraq and released. the fbi had a 10 million reward on his head. he eulogized osama bin laden and pledged to carry out attacks. and now the iraqis are carrying out air strikes alone and the u.s. is planning out options for the president who made it clear on where he stands on u.s. air streaks. >> we can't do it for them. >> it is a wide range of military capabilities and the help to break the momentum and

bolster the security fores. but any decision to employ those options rests with the commander in chief. >> the pentagon asked congress to expedite humvees. but this video shoes the insurgents driving around in american humvees that they took when the soldiers fled. and the chairman of the house armed services committee urged the president to protect the 1,000 plus u.s. personnel serving in the bass bsz in baghdad and indicated he does not support air strikes. the white house will consider all options and no quick fix solutions and i will not support a one shot strike that looks good for the cameras and no enduring affect. >> it would take several days before they had time to weigh the military options there. >> it is calmed a range of

options. we'll see what if any they are. >> the militants surged through the heart of iraq and taking a toll on the nation's people. iraq refugee population increased 800,000 this year. as the government battles rebels and mill at that points who have taken over large parts of that country and resident forced to leave for safety. many of the refugee have little more than the clothes they are wearing and no money and no where to go. >> the crisis in iraq putting the embattled country in the headlines. and until yesterday the media ignored iraq. so what happened? did the media do their job? analyst and host of media buzz that can be seen on sunday joins us here now. how are you? >> it was like suddenly there on the front page.

what happened. a surprise story out of no where. what happened. >> kind of like eric cantor's defeat. >> what happened eric no u.s. boots on the ground. in the time years of involvement there was journalistic war fatigue and seen as a depressing story. and by the time the troops left they were done with iraq and now it is back in the news and we have to scramble it to cover it. it had slow little media attention. >> you think it is hook and line and sinker the narrative that everything is fine and al-qaeda is defeated? >> i don't agree with that. there was a understanding that iraq could collapse and the government was not strong and basically there was a lack of interest the and the obama

administration was not playing it up. now we are playing the debates of was it bush's or obama's fault. and important debates to be and had echoes. >> and sure, that is another surprise story, the media and pollsters were wrong? >> it is a colossal embarrassment. shocking and unpres depted and stunning and earthquake, we didn't see it coming. not this they should predict the outcome of the races, but no one took this race sourcely even thought it would be a competitive. dave brat, a college professor knock out the house majority leader. and at the time few reporters went down in richmond to see what was going on. >> we'll see you sunday morning with more. >> laura ingram who focused the

than 11 billion to host the world cup instead of education and hospitals and higher wages. brazil spent 18 million on security for the world cup and there are 12 command centers and even using israel drones to monitor the crowds. 170,000 military troops and police and private guards are charged with secowering the cup. >> time usa it starts on monday 1500 miles north. and they will play ghana. and then port you goal and then have to play germany. it is it a tough road and why it is the group of death. team usa is a young team and protest at the games and we'll keep anaeye on it. uma. >> lots of excitement, and we want to let you know, july 13th,

>> just in time for father's day. steaks may be a safer beat than processed food like hot dogs and salami. we'll bring in the doctor and great to have you here. and thank you very much. it is raising questions and it

was a seems that mistakes. what did you think of that? >> it is a great news for men. and they love eating steaks and doesn't mean they will have a steak every night. this study gave them a questionnaire of how many processed meats theyate every day. the more processed meat you ate more likely heart failure, as we all know, is a horrible disease. you can hardly pump blood to the rest of your body and it has a bad prognosis. usually you have a 50% chance of dying within five years. we don't have a good cure for heart failure but we can treat patients with it. >> on the issue of processed meat anyway, aren't there warnings for people to take it easy on processed meat, whether male or female? >> most of us know that we shouldn't be eating a lot of deli meats.

hot dogs, sausages, even pate. researchers in this study felt you shouldn't eat any processed meat. i think that's a little harsh. you go out to a nice restaurant and you see the salamis -- but it should be a once in a while treat. it's better to eat meats like a steak or something like that, a piece of veal. but you can't eat a lot of red meat if you're worried about your heart. >> it's a double-edged sword? >> it is. but i don't think you should alter your lifestyle dramatically unless you're one of those men who eats deli meats every single day. i would reduce it to once a week, maybe twice a week. >> disturbing news about diabetes. 29 million americans apparently have the disease. one in four don't know it, according to the centers for

disease control and prevention. how is that possible? what are the signs? >> one of the signs of diabetes is that you're urinating too frequently, you're drinking too much water. if you feel something is different or as changed in that respect, you should see your doctor. but you should be getting blood tests more frequently. you shouldn't have to wait for the signs of diabetes before you find out that there's a problem. so see your internist on a regular basis. if he or she says that you're becoming pre-diabetic, then he or she is going to give you guidelines. and the most important thing, though, is to keep a healthy lifestyle. what does that mean? eat right, exercise, okay? that doesn't mean that you'll prevent diabetes 100% because there are so many genetic factors. but it will help. >> the fact that one in four -- that's quite a number in this society. and the fact that so many people don't even know it is a real concern. >> it is a concern. but what you have to realize, the numbers are so high for a couple of reasons.

one reason is that our treatments for diabetics are vastly improved. so as diabetics, as any of us live longer, that increases the number. the second is one of the biggest causes of diabetes that we're worried about now is obesity. so if you're an individual and you know that your bmi is too high, one thing you can do is just reduce it or keep your body weight the same. and i don't think you need to worry greatly about it as long as you are seeing your doctor regularly, as long as you have made a commitment to healthier eating and more exercise. i don't think as bad as the numbers sound that it's going to be as dreadful. >> let's hope so. let's move forward in positive ways and see the doctor regularly if you have any inkling there might be some changes happening in your body like that. great advice, doctor. great to see you. thank you. >> you're welcome. i guess you could say our next report is from the fox

extreme weather center because this storm is high above the earth. some solar flares could come into contact with our planet today. the radiation isn't strong enough to harm humans but it can affect our digital devices. >> i spoke with a weather forecaster with noaa who says that if there is any impact, it will occur at higher latitudes, the northern lights may extend a little into canada today. and high frequency communications with airlines over remote areas could possibly be affected. but safety will not be an issue. nasa releasing these breathtaking images from space this week showing off the powerful bursts of radiation that look like fiery volcanic eruptions. a spokesperson with noaa says they work with the airline industry on a continual basis to

issue alerts and warnings to the major airlines so they can be aware to implement back-up communication plans. adding situational awareness is critical. when monitoring solar flares, it's all about location, location, location. three flares erupted from the left side of the sun. the first two occurred tuesday. the last one erupted wednesday. scientists these flares actually shot out into space, not toward earth, explaining it's like the sun shot out a magnet and it was more of a glancing blow in terms of impacting earth. while all of this looks and sound super sci-fi and potentially problematic, scientists say all of the solar flare activity should only cause a minor geomagnetic storm. scientists will keep us informed of what they see up there in space. >> laura, thank you for reass e reassuring us. amazing photographs.
