>> drunken history. >> so "the five," tyrant and hannity. set your dvrs to never hello. i'm eric shutdown. welcome to a brand-new hour inside america's news headquarters. shaky cease fire between hamas and israel, is has ended. >> i'm arthel neville. topping the news this hour, hamas wasting no time abruptly ending the cease fire and firing rockets right at tel aviv. a live report from gaza city. libya, the state department has closed our embassy in tripoli. this for the third time in two years. we'll have the latest details with that evacuation. and congress days away from its summer recess. now some democrats are demanding no one leave 'til the v.a. is fixed. can they overcome the gridlock?

in the middle east, after 12 hours, the cease fire is now broken. hamas did it. by firing even more rockets into israel. a reported five. hamas claiming at least two of those rockets were aimed directly at tel aviv. of course, that's on top of the more than 2,000 it is said to have launched on the jewish state. conner powell has the very latest in this report from gaza city. >> reporter: i'll walk you through the new developments. they're shifting by the minute. what we understand right now is that today after the 12-hour cease fire truce that israel and hamas accepted and abided by, israel offered a four-hour continuation of this cease fire. that was rejected by hamas. we saw over a dozen or so rockets being launched from gaz. israel's cabinet announced they are offering another 24-hour

cease fire, but that is now also been rejected by hamas. the terms and conditions of that cease fire would have allowed israel's military to continue destroying tunnels here in gaza. that seems like a nonstarter for hamas. today during this humanitarian 12-hour cease fire, a lot of palestinians went up, stocked up on different goods, food, water, things like that. a lot also went out to their homes to take a view and try to assess all of the destruction here in gaza. this area has seen some of the heaviest fighting in the past three or four days. you can see around me everything is destroyed. buildings are burned out. there is rubble everywhere. >> as you see, nobody can go back for his home. no animals, no electricity, nothing. >> reporter: workers are still pulling bodies from the rubble. it will take days before the actual death toll will be known.

but the damage unlike anything palestinians say they have ever seen before. >> people are getting a first look at their homes, or what's left of their homes. right now the priority is grabbing what they can, personal items, mattress, anything that they can take to safety. >> reporter: several people said they couldn't recognize their own homes after heavy fighting between hamas and israeli troops. anger and frustration is everywhere. many blamed israel. the united nations, egypt january president, and the u.s. for the destruction. some even blame hamas. but support for hamas remains strong. this woman says, we will rebuild. we will resist. we will fire rockets for the sake of our own homeland. we were just hearing some firing off the coast here, fighting here resume not guilty gaza. hamas said they will continue fighting israel until the blockade is lifted from gaza. israel is saying that they won't sign any type of agreement with

hamas until the rockets stop and the tunnels are all destroyed. right now it looks like it is set to escalate even further with hamas rejecting this israeli 24-hour cease fire. and israel saying they're going to continue removing these tunnels and the sites hamas uses the land to fire rockets into israel. it's not clear if this is just a negotiation tactic for tonight as international efforts sort of take place in paris. but right now it looks f what we're hearing and seeing, it looks like the fighting here is going to resume and may escalate, eric? >> conner powell, you can hear the drones above conner. you can hear them there above his head, to show you just how serious this situation is. 35 tunnels have so far been discovered and israeli officials fear there are a lot more. thank you so much. tomorrow on fox news sunday, chris wallace will interview israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu about this ongoing crisis and the continuing cease

fire negotiations that have fallen apart again. check your local listings for the times and it will be right here on the fox news channel. we turn now to the korean peninsula where north korea has reportedly fired a short-range missile into the sea. this launch coming on the eve of the 61st anniversary of the armistice that ended the korean war in 1953. analysts say north korea's young leader won't order troops to stop testing weapons unless south korea and the u.s. make major concessions. there is more trouble in tripoli. washington telling americans to get out of libya. this as the u.s. suspended its activities at our embassy in tripoli, evacuating staffers amid escalating violence in the capitol city. lee land vittert has more. >> reporter: this someone of those situations where the u.s. wanted to get its people out while they still could safely rather than having to possibly

fight their way out if things got worse later on. a convoy left the embassy at dawn under the cover drones in a rapid response forced that ended up not being need. they drove from tripoli west to tunisia. in all, 70 diplomats at the compound and 80 marines providing security. they are all out. trip tripoli has been the scene of violence. a defense force tells fox news the pentagon had been saying for a while now that it was time to go and finally the state department agreed, as did the president. evidently the ambassador and some staff are going to remain in the region. but from what we're hearing, there are no plans to return to tripoli any time soon. >> so many people died and gave so much effort to the birth of the new libya and we're very, very hopeful that together all those people will recognize that the current course of violence will only bring chaos. >> reporter: obviously the evacuation has to be looked at with the memories of the attack

on the consulate and c.i.a. in benghazi where four americans were killed, including the u.s. ambassador. this news broke early morning here in washington, but after noon in north africa where it took six hours to get all those americans out, the state department has also now issued a travel warning urging all americans to leave libya immediately as they are potentially in grave danger due to the security situation. eric? >> thanks so much. this marks the second time in three years that washington has suspended operations at our embassy in libya. we now go to the conflict in ukraine where government troops are advancing toward the key city. it's a major stronghold for the separatists. this as the u.s. accuses moscow of moving heavy artillery cross the borrowedder and into the hands of pro-russian rebels. steve harrigan is live in eastern ukraine with the latest. steve? >> reporter: arthel, heavy fighting around the city made it

near impossible for any more international investigators to reach that crash site. the fighting to the north of the city in the suburbs, the east and the west as well. rebel checkpoints, as well as ukrainian government checkpoints. there was a city of about a million during peaceful times b half of those residents fled. thousands more fleeing today. several journalists also from different companies fleeing as the fighting moved close to that city center where there is still a large number of civilians. ukrainian government forces made real gains in the past two weeks, taking several villages around that city. this despite direct intervention from the russian military. assertions made not just by ukraine, but by russian intelligence officers that the russian military is directly play ago part in this war, firing on ukrainian government forces from inside russian territory. a move that top u.s. military officials say could change the basic nature of the relationship between russia and the united states. this fighting really continues and despite russia's

intervention, ukrainian forces are pretty close to surrounding the city so we could see a real battle, one of the rebel forces inside is promising a stalin grab, a fight that's been a rebel stronghold for the past several months. back to you. >> okay. steve harrigan live, thank you very much. now that deadly airliner crash that crashed in mali. 118 people were killed when the flight to algeria crashed shortly after takeoff thursday night. officials say the plane apparently encountered bad weather when it suddenly disappeared from radar. france, of course, led the fight in mali against the islamic terrorists last year, but officials believe weather may have been the cause of this accident. investigators now trying to determine exactly what happened after that airliner disappeared. in the meantime, some of the victims' family members are being flown to mali to see the crash site firsthand for

themselves and the french military unit is on the ground there. president obama telling leaders of some central american countries to stem the flow of children across our southern border in a meeting with the presidents of honduras, el salvador. he said children without a proper claim to stay will be returned to their countries. meanwhile, lawmakers in washington continue to work on a bill to deal with the border crisis amid reports that the president is close to issuing a new executive order that would grant legal status to more than 5 million illegals. dominic denatale picking up the story now. >> reporter: hey there. yes. we got these supplementary spending bill that house republicans are work on. fox news learned actually that spending bill will come in at under a billion dollars, possibly as low as a few hundred million dollars. the bill hasn't been written up

yet. it certainly hasn't been introduced. they do want to get it passed before the august recess. we should have some movement on that perhaps early next week. the department of homeland security, secretary there, jay johnson, has directed an urgent increase in funding for local law enforcement agencies in the rio grande valley. basically recognizing the higher costs that the local and state enforcement agencies have had to put with the illegal migration of all these children coming across from the central american countries. so texas suddenly getting an extra $5 million of taxpayer money to help deal with the cost there. that's an increase of one fifth on their annual budget. arizona getting some more. the southwest border is getting almost all of the special federal grant program to actually help protect the u.s. border. it's concentrated in a narrow area of the country.

meanwhile, president obama, as you were saying, has been meeting with central american leaders, saying they must try harder to prevent the tide of immigrants and children and their families and also the single males that have been coming across as well. no real hard promise this is would work. in fact, we were discussing the status of many people coming across, whether refugees or economic might grants or what it is. something president obama is very concerned about and said they need to work on their status before they get here. listen. >> there may be some narrow circumstances in which there is a humanitarian for refugee status that a family might be eligible for. if that were the case, it would be better for them to be able to apply in country. >> reporter: just a few days away from the start of the august recess in washington. we'll see whether that executive order comes through then. of course, exactly what the house republicans can do with

that supplementary spending bill. >> thanks so much. it is not a quiet saturday out west. wildfires are burning and devastating several areas. people in northern california being forced from their homes this weekend with a fast-moving wildfire gets closer. so far those flame burned down at least two buildings and spread to 1300-acres. further north in washington state, fire officials there are saying the largest recorded wildfire in that state's history has so far claimed more than 300 homes. it has killed hundreds of livestock. there is some relief in utah. evacuation orders just outside salt lake city. they have been lifted this weekend. fire officials say those flames have torched at least 120 acres, but they are not sure how it all started. how bad is it going to get? janis dean in the extreme fox whether center.

which is worse? >> all over the place, unfortunately. we have this ridge of high pressure, stubborn ridge across the west really for weeks now. as you can see, here is our large active incidence. over two dozen across the west. utah, colorado, the northwest really being hit hard. part of the reason is we have a significant drought across the west. and this has been the situation really for much of the winter through springtime and now summer. so severe to exceptional drought, especially california. 100% of the state is severe to exceptionally drought stricken that. is going to be an ongoing situation because we have this ridge that's stuck and then we have a trough that's bringing the threat for severe weather. but look at the heat across the central u.s. this is the heat index, what it feels like, what the humidity, well over 100 degrees and that's going to continue for the next couple of days, really dangerous

heat. heat advisory posted. 100 to 105. that trough i was mentioning across portions of the ohio valley and the great lakes, that's going to give us the potential for severe weather. a watch here for parts of central ohio for the next several hours. it looks like we have a couple of warnings. we could see the potential for hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes today across this region. tomorrow a little bit more of a risk over areas of the ohio valley, towards the mid-atlantic in the northeast. so this is the region we'll be watching for the hail, winds and isolated tornadoes tomorrow. again, lots to talk about. we do have -- the good news is as we head through sunday, monday and tuesday, much cooler air dropping southward that. will give us a little bit of a break as we head into the new workweek. there is some good news to wrap up on. back to you. >> i know you're in the extreme weather center. just too extreme this weekend. >> you got it. >> thanks so much. deadly hit and run lead to

go a massive manhunt with $100,000 reward. >> plus the v.a. scandal and more money to fix it. some lawmakers warning their colleagues, they better strike a deal before congress goes on vacation this week. >> it is no great secret to the american people that the congress today is dysfunctional and despite enormous problems, we are getting virtually nothing done for people of our nation avo: waves don't care what age you are.

more than 1300 fast food workers have voted in chicago for sit down strikes and restaurant occupations. they want to escalate their campaign for $15 an hour wages and the right to unionize. republicans and democrats battling over how to fix the broken veterans administration system. congress is set to go on recess, but more than 100 democrats sent a letter to senate majority leader harry reid and house speaker john boehner asking them to put off the recess until a reform bill is passed. candy bruce is here, she's fox news contributor and radio talk show host. richard fowler is a democratic strategist and radio talk show host. good to see both of you. >> hey there. >> richard, i'm going to start with you because august 4 is when congress is set to recess. you're saying they don't deserve a break without resolution on this, right? >> i completely agree. i don't think they deserve a break until they solve immigration reform, they fix the

va. if they want to get to the bottom of benghazi, they can do that, too. i think the american people are saying why is congress going on a month vacation when there is so much work left to get done? >> tammy, look, so much work left to get done, but you're saying, let's look at the big problem here. in a nutshell, the system is too big and too self-centered. >> yeah. look, obviously they're exhausted after working three days a week. they need their five-week vacation. the fact of the matter is, this is a parallel problem that we see at the v.a., is that the larger the monster, the less it's going to get done because of the energy that it requires to just operate. and they lose sight of what it is their job is supposed to be. that's the problem at the v.a. that's the problem in congress. so when you wonder what's wrong, what's wrong is the gigantic government where the people who are supposed to be doing our business lose sight of who we are, who the boss is, and even if the v.a. literally forgetting about vets in offices and locking them in, you can't

become more invisible than that. so we can't really expect even more time to solve a problem. we've got to solve the -- we've got to change the people making the decisions. >> what do you think about the idea of letting vets have access to health care outside of the v.a. system? >> oh, that's the obvious solution. look, both proposals that their fighting over, both recognize and suggest a card for the vets to use to get outside medical care. now, that should be the only thing that they need to work on right now. both sides agree on that. yet they keep piling more stuff into the bill that slows down the process. we need to get them that card so vets can get the medical care they want. it may be billions of dollars, but that's what tax dollars should be for. and then take their much-needed vacation, obviously we'll have less problems in washington if they do. then come back and deal with more if they want. but most is throwing money at the system, which means it's like looking at the frankenstein monster and thinking, well, if

we make him bigger, maybe he'll be nicer. >> richard, so what do you think, at least would be a short-term fix? we know we have more problems down the road, but a short-term fix? >> the veteran administration is always in play with issues from harry truman administration to right now. we have a new secretary. now the secretary needs the resources to keep the problem. whether we're going to provide, give them the ability to go on the private health care market. that might be a possibility of but let's get congress to work on it. sadly, because of the gridlock that we have in washington, absolutely, positively nothing can get done. i wish the president would do is call congress back during the emergency recess and say during recess and say, let's get work done. let's work for the american people. >> what is that work, richard? more resources to do what? >> they need to figure out are we going to open more hospital as soon as allow them to go on

the private market? beyond just the veteran affairs department, we have immigration to solve. we need to raise the minimum wage, fix our transportation system. all this can be done in the next 30 days while congress is out. what the american people want is for congress to come back and get to work. both sides, come to the well and figure out how we fix the problems ailing americans. >> that sounds good. but tammy, is that going to happen? what would a good bipartisan bill look like? >> look, they do want to build more hospitals, but that's like suggesting we build another congress and then expect it to move more smoothly. the v.a. had a surplus every single year, as a matter of fact. so throwing money at it won't be the solution. and the more awful thing is barak obama's proposed solution doesn't even include an option for vets to get care outside of the system. what we need is the one solution and we need frankly people to start looking about how to make the monster smaller. not enlarge it. >> so you guys know how i work.

richard, i gave you the first word, so tammy got the last word. i keep it fair and balanced. >> that's right. >> tammy, bruce, and richard, thank you. >> thank you. there have been three deadly airline crashes just in the last week and a half alone. including the shocking shootdown of malaysia flight 17. in the back of some if anythings' minds, is how safe is flying? bryan yenni circumstances with more. >> reporter: it's enough to make everyone fearful, but 100,000 flights each day take off and land safely. is flying safer than ever? next. out of my skin. when i did go see the doctor, and he prescribed lyrica. it helped me.

[ male announcer ] ask your doctor about lyrica today. it's specific treatment for diabetic nerve pain.

this month's airline tragedies are enough to make even the most frequent flyers anxious, stories like the transasia plane crash in taiwan, the shootdown of flight 17 in

ukraine, and this week's crash of an algerian jet liner in mali, all making 2014 the deadliest year for air travel since 2010. despite all of this, analysts are saying it is still very safe to fly. bryan yeses in is live at jfk airport in new york city with the details. hi, bryan. >> reporter: hi. experts point out that two out of the four major airline incidents that happened this year, disappearance of flight 370, the shooting down of flight 17 on the ukraine border are the result of tragic bizarre circumstances and not reflective of a systematic problem that affects the average passenger. 2014 has been the deadliest year for commercial flying since 2010. 761 people have died so far in airlines this year. that's nearly triple last year. but experts say flying has never been safer. 2012 and 2013 were the safest on record ever.

52 accidents out of about 70 million flights. >> the situation we're in, we're flying a great deal more, double the number of flight hours for commercial aviation that was true 20 years ago. yet the fatalities are steadily going down. we are certainly improving our safety record and improving tee nor husbandly. >> reporter: better technology has helped and the u.s. alone the fatality rate in airplane accidents has fallen 83% over the last decade. technology has made midair collisions and crashes less likely, planes can avoid severe turbulence and wind shear. much stronger seats and nonflammable materials mean 95% of people are surviving plane crashes and flight data and safety concerns are being shared internationally on a routine basis. we're also quick to learn from accidents. >> the malaysian crash in the ukraine proves that air -- err

on the side of being conservative about where flights are routed. >> reporter: some people will be looking at where the flights are being routed and looking at their tracks from now on more closely. but overall, perspective is key. you're more likely to be involved in a fatal accident at work, even driving to the airport than you are to be involved in an accident in the air. arthel? >> okay. bryan yeses in, thank you very much for that report. >> shopping in wal-mart? they've been having some issues. they have a new ceo in an effort to try and end a laundry list of problems that include six quarters of declining traffic, drops in some store sales and inventory issues. so can a new leader and game plan breathe new life into that company? what does it all mean for us? founder and ceo of powell financial group is here. pat, you go into wal-mart. they have tons of stuff. am i going to notice any difference that they're having problems? >> i hope not because if you do,

we'll be doing a story about the new ceo having a deal with it. wal-mart is really a symptom rather than a problem. wal-mart is a symptom of what's going on in the overall economy. the tiffany crowd is doing just fine. the wal-mart crowd is struggling much, much more. they've had five quarters, in the u.s., five quarters in a row of declining earnings. this is an issue. >> what does that mean? why is it reflective of the overall economy or competition, other stores? they got sam's club, same company. >> yes, yes, yes. it's a symptom of everything. the economy is growing at a lack luster pace. the families at the bottom are having more trouble. they're struggling more than the people at the top. that's a symptom of what's going on throughout the entire economy. the first quarter came in at negative gdp growth. that hits the guy at the bottom much more than it hits the guy at the top. labor participation rates keep declining, meaning fewer and fewer people are actually entering the work force. so it's a real symptom of the

overall economy. >> i don't think people realize they have so much stuff in the stores. when you go in there, they've got 11,000 stores. and 1.4 million employees. >> 2.2 million throughout the world. this is a major world employer. if you don't know somebody who -- if you don't work for wal-mart, you probably know someone who does. if you are not a customer, you are absolutely in a minority in this country. 245 million customers world wide. >> some people may get satisfaction if they're not doing well. here is an editorial. pretty blunt in the investor's business daily. attention, wal-mart haters, big box's boost pay. hardly a week goes by without someone complaining that big box retail railroads -- retailers are destroying jobs. when researchers at stanford and university of michigan business schools crunched the numbers, they found wages are much higher at big box stores than mom and

pop. more jobs, higher pay, lower prices, no wonder the liberal elite hate stores like wal-mart. isn't that fair, a true reflection. people blame big box stores. >> wal-mart started as a mom and pop store. they are amazingly successful american story. granted, sam is gone. but this story was built in one lifetime. this is not the kind of thing that took generations to build. the mop and pops have the same opportunity that wal-mart did. he just did it better than everybody else. there are kids all over this country that got a bike this past christmas that couldn't have got one at a mom and pop store because it would have been out of their price range. there are people eating better because they can buy food cheaper at wal-mart than at the local grocery store. while that is a problem for the local grocery store, competition drives everything. that's one of wal-mart's problems. they've got good competition.

they've got competition from other big box stores, target. you can think of costco. but think of the dollar stores and the juggernaut, think of amazon.com. so wal-mart is not the big bully on the block. they've got plenty of competition out there. >> how do they turn this around and is that reflective of the economy? >> i'm not sure if they can. they're so darn big. they're absolutely gigantic. they are a juggernaut. i don't know that they can grow faster than the overall economy. what they really need to do is have the economy move forward and then stores like wal-mart will hire more people and be able to bring down better prices for everybody. >> one day one of those amazon drones will drop everything we want. >> do you want a drone dropping stuff on your lawn? i'm not so sure. >> all right. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> dramatic rescue, hundreds of feet in the air. how it all turned out. plus, palestinian officials say nearly 1,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed by the israeli military. and some media outlets say

time for a quick check of the headlines. police finding two more guns at the suburban philadelphia home of a man suspected of killing his case worker at a hospital. police say the 49-year-old gunman remains sedated two days after he was shot by his psychiatrist. dramatic rescue in houston. firefighters rescuing an injured crane operator 200 feet above the ground. the man fell about ten feet during a shift change, landing on a small platform. thousands of pro-palestinian protesters taking to the streets in paris yet again. ignoring a government ban to attend such demonstrations. france has western europe's largest jewish and muslim population. there has been an apparent shift in the media coverage of

the conflict between israel and hamas. some media outlets casting israel as the aggressor against hamas despite the barrage of hamas terrorist rockets. our next guest addressed that in her weekly column saying, quote, israel wants peace. gaza desperately needs it. and yet its leaders prefer to fight israel to send rockets that mostly miss to expose their children to missiles that don't mostly miss, rather than recognize israel and make peace. israel is to blame for that? susan estridge, who wrote that, is a professor of law and political science at usc and a fox news contributor. susan, it is tragic. the scenes we see are so shocking. 1,000 palestinians killed in gaza. the israeli death toll, too. why do you think the media or some in the media have pinned the blame on the country that's being attacked? ho mass this afternoon -- hamas this afternoon broke the cease fire by firing two directly at tel aviv. >> well, i'd love to come up

with some explanation that didn't end with the fact that it's israel. i have to ask, if some other country were trying to take on a terrorist organization that was using women and children as shields, that people were applauding -- i don't know if you saw it today when one of the dead in the supposedly family of victims had a rifle, israel is doing what almost any country, i would have to think, every country would do, we would applaud other countries if they were clearing out a terrorist network of 35 tunnels into their country, yet there is israel being punished in the eyes of the world effectively because they do too good a job at protecting civilians, have done too good a job at creating a missile defense system, and because hamas would rather fight than make peace. >> the palestinians blame the occupation and blame israel, of

course, for this. as you mentioned, is there a false moral equivalent in this? >> it's really an -- israel is occupying gaza. that's what's so crazy about this. this is being portrayed as israel the aggressor, israel the colonizer, israel the occupier. israel left gaza in, what, 2005. they aren't occupying it. the problem with gaza is they've got a terrorist state in charge. they build tunnels. they send rockets. they send rockets into tel aviv. and then israel -- this is really a defensive war. if you look at israel popular opinion. and usually it's pretty divided on almost everything. but on this one, israel is united because this is a defensive move and that is what troubles me so much about the media, because it makes it sound like right versus left, republican versus democrat, israel versus palestine. who has got the higher death toll?

they're the bigger victim. that isn't the case. >> in this case, is the media simplifying it too much? do they forget, as you mentioned, an estimated 15,000 rockets fired over the many years. remember those greenhouses that were built, that israel built? destroyed. and reports a possibly used to make these home made rockets. >> you know, you explain it, okay, because every time i make this argument, people say, well, it has nothing to do with anti-semitism. so i say, then why is it israel that gets cast in this light? why is israel the villain in the world's press when in fact it's defending its citizens and eric, i would love to hear a good answer, but i haven't heard one. >> what do you think needs to be changed or done, whether it's the media or analysis -- >> i mean, at least let's start with the media and let's take a careful look and let's not put everything in eequivalent and let's not buy into what has been

i think a very successful propaganda war waged by whatever the other side is here, to portray as real as the ruthless invader. look, i'm ready to criticize israel when they deserve criticism. but this gaza offensive, you got these rockets pouring into tel aviv, tunnels going into community centers. what do people want israel to do except protect its citizens? >> you have those 35 and counting tunnels that are incredibly sophisticated tunnels that israel says hamas refuseing to try and attack it and probably more. good to see you. thank you for your analysis. >> good to see you. >> you can read susan's syndicated column in newspapers across the country every wednesday and friday and be sure to google the one we quoted. thank you. it is summer and that means ice cream. the folks from "consumer reports" will separate the best from the rest, or the rest. and i will do the ice cream dance.
