pitch you threw out? i would love to see the video again. >> how much time do you have? >> have a great weekend, everybody. see you on monday. president obama getting set for a white house meeting with key central american leaders pressing them to do more to stop the young people from flooding across our southern border. hello and a happy friday to you i am jon scott. >> and i am in for jenna lee. the administration is considering a pilot program allowing young people to apply for refugee status without making the dangerous trip across the border. but critics say it will only increase the flee flow to the

wunaccompanied minors. that is based on information they have been told this week in talking to u.s. officials over the past few weeks. >> ed o'keith and michael warren, thank you both. turning into the middle east where the deadly violence continues with reports of israeli planes hitting 30 homes on the gaza strip killing a senior leader as hamas rages intense battles in the north and central region of the territory. they are located 30 tunnels from gaza to israel and only destroyed about a third of them so far and are now requesting more time to finish the job. meanwhile this: the violence spreading to the west bank on the 18th day of fighting as

hundreds of protesters clash with israeli forces. we are waiting to hear from secretary of state john kerry who is in egypt pushing for a week-long seize fire so they can begin negotiations on economic, political and security issues in gaza. the u.s. is saying russia is firing artillitary from its side into ukraine. this amateur video can't be confirmed of the authenticity but they have saying this is proof of russia increasing their stash. >> we have new evidence that russia is delivering more powerful launches and have evidence russia is firing art l

artillery within russia to ukraine. >> steve is live. >> reporter: the ukraine government has made the charges that the russian military has been firing artillery at several points but the charge was bolstered yesterday by an state department confirming it was happening. also backed up by the pentagon. so far just sighting human integration sources as the source of this information. some of the fighting is chose to the downed malaysian airliner and progress in the investigation of that airliner is slow. very few international experts have made it to the scene. the dutch experts are not there. there is talk of sending a

police force from australia to the scene but that is talk. very little progress due to security concerns. and 75 more hearses to pick up bodies and remains of victims in netherlands today. jon, back to you. french soldiers securing a black box in molly one day after an air algeria plane carrying 160 people crashed. the french president is saying the crash was probably weather related and there were no survivor. amy is live with more on this. what can you tell us? >> reporter: they are not ruling out, investigators/the french government, are not ruling out anything right now. they are leaning toward the theory of bad weather because there was thunderstorms and sand

storms and the pilot asked to divert from the course of it just before the crash. one interesting point is witnesses said they saw fire in the sky before the plane crashed which could indicate foul play aboard. but it is believed the plane broke into pieces upon hitting the ground and that would route out on explosion but nothing is being ruled out. we have seen the first images and some people are remarking the debris looks small. experts in france, pilots and aviation experts say it seems strange and they don't believe it was weather alone. not suggesting it this was a terrorist act but maybe a combination of weather and mechanical issues. the debris area is spread over 3,000 square feet. it isn't a big area when you compare to the malaysian airline

seen. flight 5017 was travelling between burkina faso and algeria. it was discovered last night and the french went to verify wit a drone and then went back to helicopters and dropped men to the scene. the african officials went public last night but the french waited until morning to be certain it was the plane. the number has been updated without any explanation. the french have been asked for help by molly and it key t crash sceneby ground forces because it is a hostile area withlamic insurgency going on th

hold your judgment because this maybe justifiable self-defense. here are the facts. 80-year-old tom greer had been burglariz burglarized three times. he comes home tuesday night and finds two robbers doing it again. >> they jump on him and beat him with fist and then body slam him to the floor. he gets a broken collar bone, bruises and cuts. they leave him thinking he is a threat. they leave him and he gets up and gets his gun and comes back and fires. >> he fires, they run out the door, he shoots again killing the woman. police arrest adams, the partner. and the homeowner explains what

happened. she said don't shoot me. i am pregnant. i am going to have a baby. i shot her anyway. the lady didn't run so i shot her in the back. did he have a reasonable fear for his life with a gun in his hand? he could have called the police. he was injured and they could come back, though. there is law and reality. long-beach is a conservative community and greer is a sympathetic victim. would a jury convict a guy who was robbed three times? adams have been charged with felony murder as an acomplice. >> russia is facing accusations

there is a rising tide of nat n nationalism and that can be a dangerous impulse and there is a rising tide of nationalism in europe that has been created by these russian activities that i find to be quite dangerous. >> joining us now is bill cowen of the u.s. marine core. welcome and great to see you as always. >> good to see you. thank you. >> let's talk about what is at play. we are learning from our own pentagon it is the russian military, not just the separatist who are engaged in the battle taking place in ukraine. what are the implications for this going forward? >> given the fact that russia had involvement in the downing of the airliner you might think putin would step back and take a breather but instead of backing

down he is doubling down by presenting more weapons to the separatist and having an open relationship to them. i don't think anything is slowing down putin. he sees no pushback from the united states except talk about more sanctions and no pushback from the european countries and for the most part many people are forgetting what happened in the '30s when germany tried to do the same things. >> europe is paralyzed by the energy dependence they have the russia and given that how can the united states respond in a way, besides the sanctions, to give putin the world is serious and he needs to push back the >> there is no question none of us want to go to war with russia and i don't think putin wants to, at this point, go to war with us. we need to do things that are

visible. sanctions are great. but no one sees the effects of the sanctions. it may cost the common man on the street in russia a little bit more but visible things are what makes them wake up. providing the ukiainians with defensive weapons, getting together with poland and the czech republic to talk about the missile defense shield which all of the talk was about an iranian county that went astray but it needs to be looking at russia and russia's reason to not want the defense missile was afraid it would be something aimed to defend them. we should show the world we are leaders and our european allies we are with them and show ukraine we are not going to let russia come in and take them over like germany did in the

'30s. >> how do you account for what the president's critics are calling detached leadership from president obama on the issue ha? there hasn't been the shock message that one would expect to try to tackle this in a verying a aggressive way? very agrees sieve way? >> we used terminology many of us expect he would use. wait until a comprehensive international investigation is done. that is buying more time for putin. he knows that. he could open gates over there to allah lou the investigation to get going. to let investigators in. that is not happening. paul tin will continue to deny, make counter accusations about his involvement. this president instead of standing up an confronting russia head on with visible facts whether from the intelligence community or or what they did, we're wait-and-see attitude. let's do more fund-raising and let events kind of take their own course. uma, for a world looking for

leadership from this country and this president, it is all absent. uma: very interesting, obviously what is at play. certainly looks like mr. putin doesn't care much about world opinion at this point. colonel, thanks very much for joining us today. appreciate it. >> thank you, uma. jon: fox news alert and major delays on the bart system in oakland and san francisco bay area. apparently somebody called in a bomb threat to one of the bart stations, specifically the oakland coliseum bart station. the station is closed. trains are being turned around. the transportation website for the city of overing land says delays will continue for the next little while. we're following this developing story. just broke within the last hour. we'll bring you updates as we get them. new violence erupting in the middle east as israelis push deeper into gaza and hamas fires more rockets in return. how is the media covering 18-day old conflict?

our panel joins with us that. plus new court rulings put centerpiece of obamacare in limbo. what that means for the health care, economy and your bottom line.

jon: right now deadly violence is not letting up in the middle east as israeli warplanes hit dozens of targets in gaza, killing a senior terror leader. as hamas continues to fire rockets into israel. and this.

[gunfire] for the first time the violence spreads to the west bank as hundreds of protesters clash with israeli forces. so, you see the pictures. what about the tone of the coverage? how are the media doing at covering this 18-day old conflict? talk about it with judith miller, pulitzer-prize-winning investigative reporter and author. also tammy bruce, radio talk show host. both of them fox news contributors. the question of fairness, of balance, judy, how are the media doing so far in this conflict? >> the perennial question, jon, whenever it comes to conflicts and between palestinians and israelis, i think at this time i think the coverage has been pretty good. there are people, reporters being bombed along with the people of gaza, and that makes it very hard to be kind of even-handed when you have bombps dropping on you but reporters down there are really trying but i as a reporter always look for

the dog that isn't barking. at the moment it is the silence of the arab press and international press. you're not getting usual invective that israelis are war criminals and this is outrageous. i think it is because of the rest of the violence in the middle east. it is 150,000 dead in syria. it is thousands dead in iraq. it is arab spring aftermath. that really puts this conflict, arab, israeli, into perspective. jon: you also might also look, tammy, for the scenes that you don't see. we see an awful lot of scenes of, you know, palestinian children who are, you know, innocent victims of this fighting. but you don't see a lot of photos of hamas fighters carrying you know, rpgs on their shoulders for instance? >> yeah, exactly. there, as judy mentioned, there is the heat of battle. when you're there on the ground. this is obviously a war theater. you're going to be moved by immediacy of what is in front of you especially for television.

print reporters have more flexibility being able to take more time to choose to, describe the nature of what is really going on the ground and all of that. but interesting thing that happened on twitter as an example. reporters who are either tweeting the situation on the ground, describing what hamas is doing, with human shields or firing from residential areas, are being threatened immediately on twitter. accounts are being established and these individuals are getting direct threats to themselves. sometimes to their families. so, it could in fact change, even subconsciously, the nature of what is described on the ground, when you have, when reporters are getting immediate impact or feedback on social media in this regard. that is kind of a new dynamic having impact and at least showing the, world, not just the american people, the nature of the fight that reporters are facing, also. to say nothing of the fact that you've got a dynamic where, television especially, deals with images so much.

and has less time for description. jon: judy, hamas makes it easy for journalists to come see the aftermath of an israeli bomb may or may not have gone astray but if it killed civilians. they will let you see that. they won't let you see weapons caches in a hospital, for instance. >> no. you haven't seen reporters in the tunnels, underground city of tunnels they have built. yes, hamas is getting its narrative out but i think a lot of people are beginning to ask questions why hamas has put rockets under schoolsp, under hospitals. why it turned its own people into human shields. they have not been blamed for that before. i was in gaza 2009, doing reporting there. you don't see that gaza either. people living high on the hog, off of the taxes that they waged on the tunnel traffic. diversion of all the concrete that has gone into building of tunnels, rather than to rebuilding of homes. those are questions that are begin to be raised by media. jon: tammy bruce, judy miller.

we'll have to leave it there. thank you both. >> thank you, jon. >> thank you. uma: back in this country a federal court ruling that could strike major blow to obamacare. if the decision stands, it could raise cost of insurance peoples for millions of americans. they're higher than president obama said they would be. james angle joining us live from washington with more on all this. jim? >> reporter: aside from court battles whether subsidies are legal in 36 federal marketplaces obamacare faces yet another controversy as insurance companies reprice their premiums for 2015, in advance of the november elections. >> everybody will know what the premiums are going to be, well before the election and premiums will be much higher than i think the administration is counting on. >> reporter: now though a few plans have small changes, many have healthy increases. listen. >> depending who you look at, some are looking at roughly 24,

25% increases. some of the estimates. others seem to be a little less. of course it will vary by state. the premiums that they're facing are probably 15 to 20% higher than they were this year. so it is going to be, a difficult situation. and i think the administration is, is not going to win on this. >> reporter: now the administration says obamacare is saving money and that people will get average refunds of $80 this year. but the president promised massive savings. and that every family would save $2500s a year. >> in fact they were about $3,000 higher at the end of his first term, rather than $2500 a year lower. so he missed it by a spread of $5500. and they are continuing to go up. >> reporter: now premium costs are only small part of the total cost. and though reports show many people unhappy, they must pay as of as $5,000 out-of-pocket before they get a single dollar

of coverage. >> if the costs of deductible. there is also cost of out of network service use. and the costs of drugs that are purchased under these programs. >> reporter: so while some people may come out okay, millions will face significantly higher rates when they were promised savings instead. and that is likely to have some political impact coming right before the election as it will. uma? uma: no doubt about that. jim, thank you very much. >> reporter: you bet. jon: some exciting new research to tell you about. scientists finding that a new bacteria might have some big benefits in the fight against obesity. we'll talk with our medical expert, about a potential new weapon in the battle of the bulge. ♪ don't miss a step... ♪ nothing's missed with tenatwist ♪ ♪ don't miss a beat... ♪ nothing's missed with tenatwist ♪ ♪ oooh discover the fearless protection of tena. so absorbent even when you twist not a drop escapes. ♪ nothing's missed with tenatwist ♪

van per dealt infectious disease expert is here with more on all this. doctor, welcome, great to have you here today. talk for a moment about the promise this can really help people who are obese. tell us more about it. >> of mice and men, uma. looks as though studies in mice, indicate bacteria in our intestines, most of our stool and feces is massive, billions of bacteria, their composition can have influence how slim or how stout we are. isn't that kind of amazing? uma: it is amazing. talk to us, doctor, about the probiotic aspect works on the gut. >> well, probiotics are a special class of bacteria. they seem to in some fashion, and that is currently under study, create an environment such that we either absorb or manage or metabolize nutrients in a variety of different ways. some that would allow to us become more core pew lent and others that would you allow us not to become so corpulent that

would be very important if we figure out what the mechanism of that is i don't as you point out. all of this is only been tested on mice. when can we expect the leap, when it could be tested on humans? >> ah, that will be as we say, down the road. there are actually inferential studies to show populations around the world that consume very large amounts of yogurt for example, often live longer and are similar than other populations. so we have some confirmatory, if inferential evidence along those lines. uma: probably -- probiotics also have impact on helping with containment of heart disease. >> yeah. heart disease, particularly lowering blood pressure. not a lot but some. if we could figure out how the bacteria do this. do they create a special protein, well, maybe that protein could be used as a drug or, we could develop a vaccine against obesity?

all way down the road. but exciting early days and concept that no one would have believed, just a few years ago. that intestinal bacteria could have profound metabolic effects on all of us. >> very promising indeed. doctor, thank you so much for joining us with your insights. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. jon: texas governor rick perry taking a bold step to deal with the crisis on the southern border of his state. he is giving national guard troops there the power to make arrests. is that legal? ♪ ♪here i am. rock you like a hurricane♪

border, but, potentially, they will have the power to make arrests. something they were prohibited from doing in the past. would that step on the authority of the federal government? let's bring in our legal panel. john llewellyn, and doug burns. my understanding, doug -- >> yeah. jon: because these thousand national guard troops were called up by the governor himself as state force, not federally mandated force, they will have or could have the power to make arrests? >> apparently that is distinction, jon. obviously the president of the united states can deploy national guard troops. each state governor can also deploy national guard troops, most usually from the guard unit in their own state. that is that distinction. there is another decision you alerted to, can the governor deploy the state unit of the national guard in immigration

context. that goes into preemption argument that ordinarily the federal government controls that. jon: there is 19th century law prohibits military personnel in this country from handling civilian law, what had been traditionally civilian law enforcement functions but because this is a state call-up, that wouldn't apply? >> well, i think you're talking about the 1878 possy commit does act. it wont apply in this case, because governor perry asking for federal troops to come in. this is military reserve unit, article i, section, clause 3 the unit, national guard is allowed to prevent insurrection and repel invasions. so as long as the governor asks for help, it does seem that it would be authorized, that they do have the power to arrest if necessary. jon: doug, a lot of folks in texas, outside of texas, hey, you have the national guard on the border. they will be able to put zip

ties on people who arrive here illegally. they can enforce state law, right? >> right. jon: are there some state laws that would prohibit illegal immigration? but there is distinction in what john was saying. i agree with you, john. not so much that risk perry is asking for national guard assistance and then getting affirmative answer. he already went to washington and apparently didn't. i know that is political discussion. it is more that he is deploying his own state's unit. by the way, both johns, he will be asking for reimbursement from the federal government for the 12 million a month amount. that is another big legal issue. will the federal government theoretically decline to make that payment? but back to your question, jon, as far as arrests, it is very unusual and it will create, in my opinion, a lot of practical problems because they're not necessarily trained. then 10 times more importantly, they're not necessarily in a good interactive mode with local law enforcement. jon: yeah. as you were speaking, doug, we played video back from

july 9th, when president obama went to the border and, or didn't go to the border, i'm sorry, went to texas, got a big smile and hearty handshake from governor perry but you got to think they were not talking about this border situation, this immigration situation. >> i agree. jon: because perry has said, john, it is out of control and washington isn't doing anything about it. >> right. >> well, we do have a very serious crisis at the border. right now the legal issue is whether or not the national guard can really do anything. from a political standpoint, what else can we do to secure our borders? it's a problem of invasion from a constitutional standpoint. and the constitution clearly gives power to the federal government. and the federal government has power to get the national guard to go there because, they are a reserve military unit. so, by the powers of the federal government, and the state government, to allow those troops to go to the border, they can do that, from a legal perspective. but agree with doug.

there will be legal problems with the arrests. there will be some issues. i don't think we have heard the last of that through the court system or judicial system. jon: those troops are not on border yet. we'll see what happens when they actually get there. john, doug, thank you. >> my pleasure. >> thank you. uma: the border crisis obviously important and controversial top i can. we want to hear from you. do you support giving refugee status to children who want to come to the united states from honduras? our live chat is up and running. go to foxnews.com/happeningnow and click on "america's asking," to join the conversation. also a popular drug for back pain used by a large number of americans may not be all it is cracked up to be. we'll tell you what a new study says about something probably in your own medicine cabinet. stay with us.
