defense had said that the plane was located near the town of gao in mali. all he would say is that it probably crashed. he did put forth a bit of important information, which is that the pilot had asked for a change of fruit when he was flying because of bad weather. but no distress signals went out at all, so whatever happened happen very quickly but it is not clear what happened, it is not clear how the plane crashed. the plane was air algerie flight 517 to the algerian capital, disappeared off radar 50 minutes after takeoff but it was hours before algerian officials announced it was a problem. it was apparently due to storming whether that deterred the route.

this is the sort of airplane that it was. the plane was provided by spanish airlines swiss air. 110 passengers on board, six crew, they were spanish. the state department said it is not aware of any americans on board. the majority were french, majority of them planning to transit onto france from alger algeria. the french have really taken the lead disseminating information about what has been happening. the area the plane was flying over has been the scene of so much unrest and is to an extent infiltrated by al qaeda, concern may be what happened wasn't just mechanical or weather related issue, but no suggestion there was anything other than some kind of routine problem at this

point, however the french president has called an emergency meeting with all of his ministers, they are gathering as we speak and what we do know is because there has been unrest in mali, at least the french government has said whatever assistance is to be provided will be handy in the area. jon: another plane down flying through a war zone escalates all kinds of questions. thank you. jenna: all things considered, a week after the malaysian airlines plane went down over ukraine. speaking of ukraine, the prime ministeminister of ukraine has resigned. live in ukraine with more on this breaking news. reporter: some surprising news, the outspoken pro-russian minister of ukraine said he will resign confirmed by ukrainian government. it means new elections, punch

outs among the lawmakers. this a country which is fighting armed rebellion which has been supported by a much stronger neighbor, russia. having civilian travel t traves. the prime minister resigning. they will try to hold elections try to pick up the bodies in parts of the plane crash on its own territory. jenna: tell us little bit of what we are seeing behind you. >> no security around, nothing going on, we can we have seen and heard evidence being remov removed. real jagged edge power saw was taken to this airplane. we talked to investigators trying to guess or what they can

as far as evidenced goes, they are still saying there are body parts, human remains in the fields so even as a vinification process has begun in the netherlands, this cleanup is far from over, still victims in the field according to investigato investigators. jenna: a big story still a week later. thank you. jon: norway intelligence service warning the country of an imminent concrete terror threat. police say nearly 50 people left norway for syria to become foreign fighters in the war there. now the authorities they half of those fighters linked to islamic radicals in syria are back on the ground and can be planning an attack in the country within days. if they know what the target might be, authorities in norway are not saying. jenna: a spokesperson for the united nations palestinian refugee agency operating in gaza confirming forces sheltering

palestinians. 15 people are dead, dozens are injured. already commenting on this on twitter saying there has been a lot of fighting in this particular area and hamas is exploring infrastructure and international symbols. we will keep you posted on that. u.s. airlines are getting the all clear to fly in and out of tel aviv after lifting the ban on air travel to israel late last night. european airlines continue the cancellations through today. the planes from europe are not. restrictions after hamas rocket landed about a mile from the big international airport in tel aviv, one of 2000 rockets lobbed at israel since the conflict began to weeks ago be at this as the fighting intensifies with israeli tanks and warplanes bombarding to hold the rocket fire, sophisticated

network of cross-border panels. secretary of state john kerry in the region still trying to figure out how to hammer out some sort of a cease-fire between both sides as a decimal rises to a combined total of 750. those cease-fire efforts seem to have hit major roadblock with hamas going along with the troops unless israel and egypt left their blockades on the gaza strip and help them economically. much more on the crisis and the controversies surrounded the decisions on flights into isra israel. senator lindsey graham, armed for thiservice committee joins . jon: a woman is now safe in italy and on her way to the united states. thrown into a sudanese prison while she was pregnant because she refuses to reject her christian beliefs. while in prison shackled in chains, she gave birth to a

daughter, now she is walking freely with her family in italy. live in washington with the details he ha. reporter: mostly but the plate of those. she spoke about her experience in sudan be at a talk for about half an hour with her children in tow in which she thanked the pontiff for his prayer and solid solidarity. she is born to a muslim father and krishan mother but in was not allowed to marry a christ christian. they sentenced her to death. by the time she gave birth to her daughter, she was in jail, her husband is an american citizen and they tried to leave once her death sentence was overturned, but the sudanese government said no. up until yesterday she was living at the embassy for protection, but on capitol hill yesterday highlighting her case,

her supporters and members of congress were not too happy with the state department's handling of her case. >> the u.s. government disinterestedly plate of an american and his family is simply indefensible. reporter: now that she is out and on free soil, it is unfair with the feeling toward the state department will be. we have learned we are in for a few more days and fly to the united states with her husband and child to start her new freedom. jon: thank you. jenna: in washington, d.c., on the agenda today the house and rules committee is writing a resolution authorizing >> john boehner lawsuit against the president. centering around obamacare without congressional approval. says legal action is not protect the constitution democrats dismissive of the political stunt.

jon: a dramatic police chase in a residential area as heavily armed carjacking suspect takes off running trying to steal another truck, breaking into another home as well. how did this wild chase and up? plus the irs commissioner now accused of lying with e-mails from lois lerner could never be recovered. he has a different story now. we will bring that to you. brand-new fox news poll, the handling of the crazies here at home and overseas, we want to hear from you. do you approve or disapprove of the job's performance? our live chat is up and running. get your thoughts into the conversation. at humana, we believe if healthcare changes, if frustration and paperwork decrease... the gap begins to close.

so let's simplify things. let's close the gap between people and care. the summer of this.mmer. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. where memories will be forged into the sand. and then hung on a wall for years to come. get out there, with over 50,000 hotels at $150 dollars or less. expedia. find yours.

jenna: and armed carjacking suspect takes off on foot during a wild crime spree. >> began with cops chasing a man

and a woman. the man took off in a stolen truck. he fly to carry into weapons did try drive away in two different plows but could not start them up so he walked in the nearby home and was next seen in an suv breaking through the garage door and driving off. got stuck in the ditch, jumped out and ran towards i 70. he pointed a rifle at passing cars. finally a shift deputy on a motorcycle caught up with him and drew his weapon persuading the suspect to lay down his rifle and chased him ending dramatically in the middle of the interstate. a civilian running over to help the deputy detain the suspect. nobody was hurt. jon: some new developments in the saga of the lost lois lerner e-mails linked to the irs

political targeting scandal where they might be if we can ever find them. as the commissioner of the irs originally said the backup tapes were recycled now tells lawmakers a whole different story saying those e-mails might be recoverable after all. >> we confirmed the backup tapes the longer existed because they had been recycled. >> the backup tapes may as well exist. >> why didn't you tell us the irs had destroyed e-mails that he longed to lois lerner? >> e-mails may or may not have been lost. they were not destroyed as a conscious effort by the irs. jon: joining us now, senior political correspondent and the editorial director. good morning to you, ron.

what is going to happen now, are they going to get these e-mails or not? >> the idea the irs may abuse of powers serious enough league gets to the bottom of it and it even republicans were democratic party can be trusted to do a credible investigation on something this important, so we need an outside special prosecutor. the president losing credibili credibility. jon: he told the host committee the hard drive may not have been destroyed, but just scratched. and that is the case, the information should have been recoverable. >> it raises all kinds of questions, it is still possible

the irs was probing liberals and conservatives equally not for political retribution. it is also possible they were probing the liberals just because they were interested in political retribution. you can talk about scratched and lost e-mails, the fifth amendment, the fourth amendment, it is all a joke on both sides, so we have an outside credible investigator get to the bottom of it. republicans frankly doing it in a ham-handed manner are not happen this bi. we need them capable of acting like a prosecutor instead of a political circus. jon: let's talk about political question marks not exactly

raising confidence in the syst system. carrying the iraq war credentials as a badge of honor now accused of plagiarizing a paper helping him get his masters lambing posttraumatic stress disorder thing he was treated for that disorder the same time he wrote the paper and that was the whole problem. >> his iraq services are a badge of honor. if you look at "the new york times" story, it is a pledge of dishonor. there are times have avoided scandals but not in the middle of a campaign and not a democrat running a red state. she is very bad for democrats trying desperately to hang onto the senate. jon: of this paper he wrote a significant paper on democracy

encouraging democracy in the middle east. the six recommendations mr. walsh laid out at the conclusion of his 14 page paper are taken nearly word for word on the same topic. hang on one second if you would. significant portions of the language can be found in next 98 essay for science and international affairs at harva harvard. just sounds like a lot of this. >> what you are reading is pretty compelling, but look at the graphic they put together that showed in plain color how much of this was plagiarized. showing you he ripped it off. jon: and from virginia, a story you broke, he is now under fire

for something his daughter did, ceo of a generic drug company with roots in west virginia. >> it is even worse, "new york times" broke this story in the business section, they portrayed his daughter as a victim of the u.s. tax code that this poor woman had to take her and her company, renounced his citizenship because of the tax code and take that only the tax dollars overseas but still sucking all kinds of money out of the u.s. treasury because the business in existence to serve medicare and medicaid. i was the first one to say isn't this story kind of americans on the far right fired up? >> especially when you represent west virginia where unemployment is such a problem.

>> especially she blames it on congress. she says congress will only give me lip service. what was she sang at thanksgiving? maybe it is not just folks in congress, maybe the guys running in 1600 pennsylvania avenue need to get together to realize they have a common interest to perform. jon: he told you what his daughter did ought to be illegal for now on. we have to go. more on this on the national journal site. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. jenna: the growing humanitarian crisis on the boar border. now the senate is working on legislation, so what are the sticking points? senator lindsey graham joins us with his addressing the mideast with the fighting rages on and cease-fire efforts seem to be failing. we will talk about that next.

did you know a ten-second test could help your business avoid hours of delay caused by slow internet from the phone company? that's enough time to record a memo. idea for sales giveaway. return a call. sign a contract. pick a tie. take a break with mr. duck. practice up for the business trip. fly to florida. win an award. close a deal. hire an intern.

and still have time to spare. go to comcastbusiness.com/ checkyourspeed if we can't offer faster speeds - or save you money - we'll give you $150. comcast business. built for business. jenna: the fighting is intensifying in the mideast. hamas fired more than 2000 rockets since the conflict began, and israel trying to put an end to this by the rocket attacks targets from the air and inside gaza. as century of state john kerry cease-fire efforts seem to be failing with hamas agreeing to a truce until blockade and air algerie the faa lifted the flight ban to tel aviv. lindsey graham a member of the armed services committee. to have you back on the program. "the washington post" is reporting when secretary kerry met with and minute yahoo, he

was angry about the faa action and suspicious it was an attempt by the obama administration to squeeze israel in some way. getting politics lie behind the band? >> i can't really say that. the airport is very secure. it would have played into the hands. i'm glad it is behind us. jenna: the growing condemnation of israel and international news shaking your head. our own president has been criticized as well, and you have criticized efforts for a cease-fire. i am curious, what is your solution here. what would you do differently? >> i would not be pushing israel to stop the ground invasion until they neutralize the threat from the rocket sites.

read the editorial about how the cease-fire should be amended. we should be isolating hamas, not bailing them out. yet with israel on this issue, can you imagine what we would be doing if we got hit by rockets in the neighboring country and there were tunnels under our borders that pop up in villages where people can come out of those tunnels and killed or kidnapped your citizens? no cease-fire should be pushed upon israel until hamas is removed in gaza because the bottom line problem here is maas agenda is to destroy the state of israel. while you have a cease-fire for a group of people who wants to wipe you off the map? try to get a new start for pea peace. jenna: the palestinians say a u.n. run school for refugees has

been bombed in this area, heavy fighting, part of the situation israel is confronting because they said this is an area with lots of intense fighting, they have put rockets in the schools before, so we think in this pressure international communi community. how challenging will it be to go down the path you are suggesti suggesting, continue the war until hamas is gone? >> i would stand with israel and say there is moral equivalency here. it builds tunnels under hospitals, bicycles, apartment complexes, to induce civilian casualties. one way to prevent palestinian children from being killed is to stop trying to kill israeli children by firing rockets into israel and care less about where they land. i would steer the international community down and say let's

condemn hamas for the terror organization they are, try to get a new start on peace, and remove hamas of the cease-fire. we've had three fires the last three years resulting the same outcome. to israel, stay as long as you need to stay, go wherever you need to go, congress has your back, i will be introducing a bipartisan resolution with chuck schumer from new york arguing any cease-fire should be conditioned on israel having the ability to deal with a tall threat and a rocket threat, congress has israel's back, as the administration is throwing it overboard. jenna: why do you think they're taking a different path? and what power could it really have to impact the path they are currently on? >> i imagine they want to fill the passport a lot.

i appreciate him trying to solve problems, but what he is doing is there is no moral equivalen equivalency. the reason so many palestinians have been killed is because hamas said some conditions to have them killed by putting military equipment by schools and hospitals in populated areas trying to get civilians killed and the israeli military is doing all it can to avoid silly and casualty. so my advice to the secretary is don't focus on a cease-fire continuing, focus on isolating hamas, take hamas for the terrorist organization they are and breaking the law of war potentially putting civilians in harms way. jenna: secretary kerry does not speak to hamas because they are barred from the policy. look forward to asking more

about the legislation where it goes from here. let me ask you briefly about immigration issue, the president was requesting $3.7 billion from congress, i only have about one minute here, but democrats are proposing $2.7 billion. what do you think of it? >> not one dime until we address the underlying problem. if you don't change the 2008 law that prevents us from the reporting people that have to be deported, there's no use to throw money at the problem. no funding until we change the law to allow expedited deportation. you will continue to be overrun. jenna: that is not part of what they are proposing. senator graham, grea grace to hy on the program as always, thank you. jon: proposal to send billions

to fix the border crisis, thousands are losing their jobs with the obama administration defense cuts. what impact could this have on national security?

jon: where w way new details on the disappearance of a passenger jet heading to algeria. the plane was traveling to the algerian capital. 115 people on board when vanished from radar screens

earlier this morning. bad weather was reported in the area but the latest aviation incident is raising more concern for travelers about flying over a war zone or other hotspots around the world. jonathan hunt live with more on how you can know your airplane route even before you go on board. reporter: there are dozens going on around the world and the federal aviation administration lists flight prohibition restrictions for more than 60 countries on its website. with the downing of mh17 over ukraine, the ground-based conflict can bring to the sky were brought home for anyone who flies and a lot fierce were made even worse when hamas fired a rocket from gaza landing near tel aviv airport prompting a band of commercial aircraft from flying to israel some 36 hours but with a little checking

before you fly, you can find the root your plane generally takes. websites will show if you are flying from dubai to atlanta, may be over and iran. there are faa guidelines putting a ban on that route. the same for your flight from new york to delhi india where your plane may well fly over afghanistan. the bands are in place for eastern ukraine, crimea, north korea, parts of ethiopia, ethiopia and somalia. the situation has to be constantly reviewed by governments and airlines. >> they have to evaluate the threat, what is the potential impact the threat has on the airlines and what are the processes they can do to mitigate those threats such as fly around the airspace,

completely restrict different airports to fly in and out of, who are the partner airlines. >> if you're nervous about flying any given route, check before you fly. remember an incident like the downing of mh17 are incredibly rare, which is why they grab our attention so strongly. jon: that is the case, some good information. jenna: a story we're following on "happening now," layoffs of thousands of soldiers with thousands of hours of combat experience have received pink slips sometimes unexpectedly and without notice. raising serious questions of national security and the nature of how we are treating the military men and women. retired four-star general, just the person to talk about this with. some of these troops are

receiving their pink slips when they are deployed, when they are actually overseas. why is it happening that way? >> i don't think that is the right call, to be frank about it. the army does not want to take these cuts, jenna. from a level of 570,000, and cuts to the other services. that being said, we have to take those cuts mandated by the sheer numbers drilled to get there, but given people and notice they are being separated on a combat tour, we could have found a better way to do it. jenna: why would look at the captains and the majors specifically? why fm level because you look at that level and you see what could be somebody with a career facing combat experience, lot experience during wartime,

people at a higher level and a lower level that probably don't have that exper which is something we should value. >> the cuts are across-the-boa across-the-board. what they're starting with is the groups with overages in th them, they grew faster, more people promoted and divulging a little bit, so they put together a board to determine who separated and do it competitively, people do get separated base and what the performance has been like over those number of years. it is tough to let go of people who have made those kind of sacrifice serving honorably, they don't want to go, it is very difficult situation. i lived through it myself when i was a younger officer, it was very devastating on the emotions involved when you share a combat role side-by-side with a

teammate and watching the teammate leave the service under those kind of conditions, it is really tough for their entire families. jenna: a cap imagine being the wife of summary deployed has been away for several months preceding a pink slip and in a couple of months from now you have to find another job, the reality of that is very real. what about the national security implications? we still are at war. what do you think is the impact for all of us outside the army? >> this is beyond irresponsible. we have always had reduced conflicts, but the kind of numbers we are looking at taking ground forces back to pre-world war ii, that is actually reckless, jenna. it makes no sense whatsoever.

there is risk involved here, to bring in the air force back to the 1950s numbers, the global superpower, look at the numbers in the world out there today, the united states military fight and conflicts deterring war, being ready, but people know there is a strong military here, this is not something to contend with, discourages adversarial behavior, it is a force for deterrence. doing what we are doing to the force, you know as well as i do we have discussed this on the show, a lack of american leadership, america is decimated, it doesn't make sense. >> what can we do about it at this point? >> the argument the defense is s made, they have lost those

arguments. we're on a path to reduce this, i would think given what has taken place in the world with the rise of radical islam at the congress of the united states would reconsider the budget cuts and the president of the united states. we have been saying have got to reconsider, we cannot go on the direction we are going in. jenna: great to have you as always, appreciate your passion of the topic and a story we will continue to watch. thank you so much. jon: we can spend money researching shrimp on treadmills but we cannot fund this. a food truck explosion that sent a dozen people to the hospital, the latest on the accident that took another tragic turn. and an execution goes terribly wrong, death was supposed to

come quickly, that didn't happ happen. we will bring you the details.

jon: we are 13 minutes away from the top of the hour when somebody will be outnumbered on this network. what is coming up? >> when you do watch us at the top of the hour, top white houe officials concerned about that his state's abroad suggest the president may be disengaged from major foreign affairs. why? and sticking to the claim of the most transparent administration ever. what do voters think? the surprising result. >> and how young is too young to talk about the birds and the bees with your child? new research suggest it should happen a lot earlier than you think. >> know who is going to be buzzing about that? our hashtag one lucky guy. join us. jon: looking forward to that.

jenna: an update we brought you, a mother and a daughter have died after a food truck explosion in philadelphia earlier this month causing the explosion you are seeing. the medical examiner says the death due to the aftereffects that they suffered. also injured were 11 others in that. identified as 17-year-old and 42-year-old. jon: arizona governor jan brewer orders a full review of executions after nearly two hours for a convicted killer to die. he shot and killed two people 25 years ago, sentenced to die by lethal injection. an execution that usually requires 10 minutes took almost two hours. in the west coast newsroom with more on that controversy.

>> while reporters say he gulped for air like a fish out of water, attorneys claimed the death was inhumane, should have is stopped, others say he was snoring, and the family says frankly doesn't matter, his suffering was nothing compared to the pain inflicted in 1989 he beat up his girlfriend and she got a restraining order. weeks later he walked into her father's auto body shop, shot him and shot to be twice as she pled for mercy. they executed him yesterday. some witnesses that he gasped for air 600 times. >> for maybe the first seven minutes he closed his eyes and went to sleep, and tha then he started gasping for more than an hour and a half. when the doctor would come in to check his consciousness, he would turn the mic on and you would hear a deep snoring, sucking error sound.

>> you guys are going let's worry about how he is. why did we give him a bullet or something else? everybody is worried about the drug. people who do this on death row, they deserve to suffer a little bit. jon: we have used the gas chamber and electric chair in the past. this is the first time they have used this drug combination. they say this is another reason the death penalty and evil injection specifically should be banned. one judge who heard the appeal said a better solution may be the firing squad which the attorney appealed. he denied the appeal about 30 minutes after he was dead. >> thank you.
