probably not the first time. he has pretty clear sneakers. jon: bill: you think he is trying to close the door, clean up after himself? martha: not a good moment. bill: good luck, brazen bandit. martha: thanks for being with us today. "happening now" starts right now. jon: more rocket attacks in israel, which in turn spark airstrikes in gaza as another cease-fire collapses in the middle east. good monday morning to you, i'm jon scott. >> i'm patti ann browne in today for jenna lee. after almost 12-hour pause in fighting, israel retaliates. a rocket hit the southern part of the country and military sis eight others have been fired since midnight. so israel went after hamas targets in gaza, striking rocket launchers there. all this happening on the muslim holiday that marks ending of fasting month of ramadan. the united nations calls for

immediate, unconditional humanitarian cease-fire in gaza. jon: john huddy live on the israel-gaza border. john? >> reporter: jon, while things were calm earlier today, that is certainly not the case now. we're hearing there was a mortar attack on israeli soldiers on the israel-gaza border south of us. we're hearing as many as six soldiers were killed. we're waiting details on confirmation. that is what we're hearing on the mortar attack. we're getting reports there was an explosion at the shifa hospital, which is gaza city's largest hospital. a place i went to several times when i was in gaza. of course artillery fire throughout the day. sporadic artillery fire that killed several people including a 4-year-old boy. this as of course we know yesterday, israel's military operation continued after failed cease-fire agreements. and israel's prime objective, main has been to root out

and destroy hamas's infrastructure and network of cross-border tunnels and that remains a prime objective. okay? now, having aid all of this, even with the new, of course, attacks i just explained, there is possible talk about now a new sees fire agreement. that an egyptian-brokered cease-fire agreement that israel has been willing to accept. after the muslim holiday of eid, marking the end of ramadan, that perhaps hamas may be willing to agree to terms of that agreement. this is not, again there is so much uncertainty about cease-fire agreements as we've seen several failing already and now while things were calm earlier along the border we're hearing about the mortar attack and also an explosion at shifa hospital, again, gaza city's largest. we're awaiting details about both and confirmation of course but at this point uncertainty

remains about any cease-fire agreement. jon, patti ann? jon: john huddy reporting live from the gaza-israel border. thanks, john. >> ukrainian security spokesman claim flight data recorders from malaysia flight 17 showed it crashed after being punctured multiple times by shrapnel. that would seem to back up the claims by the u.s. that the plane was shot down. an international team of investigators trying to reach the site of the downed malaysian jetliner were forced to turn back because of heavy fighting in the area. steve harrigan live in kiev with the latest for us. >> reporter: patti ann, this is the second day in a row the international experts tried to reach the crash site and turned back because of heavy fighting in the area. ukraine's defense ministry is confirming that the fight something ongoing. they're making offensive push to try to circle the crash site. perhaps we could see progress in that area soon. right now, rebels backed by russia still in control of three

fields around that crash site. so 11 days afterward, still no presence of international experts at that site due to the heavy fighting. russian firms continue to deny claims they're taking active role in the fighting, helping rebels with artillery or directly firing. despite satellite images released by the u.s. state department which assert russia is firing from its territory, firing rockets against ukrainian forces. russian officials say data is false. this is simply a smear campaign bit west against russia. patti ann, back to you. >> steve harrigan live in kiev. thank you. jon: to politics here at home now and word that the gop could make gains in the midterms especially in the senate where republicans need a net gain of just six seats to retake control there. "the wall street journal" writing with 100 days to go until the midterm election unexpectedly strong bid by several republican candidates and president barack obama's continued sagging approval ratings are boosting gop chances

of capturing a senate majority. joining us now, bret base the anchor of "special report." there are a couple of surprise states that republicans are looking at that originally they didn't think might be on their pick-off list, bret. >> yeah, jon. good morning. this basically comes down to spreading the map. that is what republicans are doing. you even have "the new york times" and its modeling saying there is 60% chance now that republicans pick up control of the senate. in part because they're fighting on number of different battlefronts many people didn't think they were going to be. in michigan, for example they're doing well there, with the republican candidate. iowa, other states, that it wasn't seen that they were going to be competing, they are. now take a look at three really quickly specifics where it looks very good for republicans. first of all, montana. you have in montana, steve danes the congressman, with 12.5 lead

over john walsh, incumbent democrat this is "real clear politics" average of polls. allegations of plagiarism of john walsh. that is adding to his troubles. montana, seems, most political pundits think is going to republican if you looked at it right now. you have west virginia. you have a situation where shelley moore capito is the republican. she holds a 10-point average of polls lead according to rcp. natalie tenant is out with a new ad blasting administration for its efforts on coal. trying to distance herself from the administration that. will be uphill battle for democrats as well. finally in colorado, the democratic incumbent mark udall is holding on to slim, slim, lead, one point, according to average of polls. he is holding on. republicans believe they can because of the president's slipping numbers pick up with representative gardner a seat that many people didn't think was possible at the beginning. so you have a changing map and

at that's why you're seeing these changing models. jon: but democrats seem to have more money in those of these states. democratic senatorial campaign committee has more money to spend on advertising and money does a lot in elections. >> it does. for example in north carolina, senator kay hagan has a money advantage right now. she in north carolina also has the benefit of an independent running in that race that may split that, those numbers down. but you're right, the fund-raising has been key for democrats. that is one of the reasons the president has been out and about for all these dnc and dfcc fund-raisers. jon: interesting, interesting too though, democrats, i'm sorry, democrats are hopeful that they might actually be able pick up mitch mcconnell's seat in kentucky or possibly the senate seat in georgia. it is not at all a lost cause for democrats this time around? >> no. listen, we know and we caveat everything with all of these

models and projections there is a long time between here and early november. and a lot can happen in each individual race. you're right, democrats are licking their chops over that kentucky seat with hundred der again grimes. she is well-positioned. mitch mcconnell is formidable campaigner around has a campaign staff up and running and across the state. in georgia now with republicans unified around david perdue, now the nominee in georgia up against michelle nunn, who is someone that democrats really have high hopes for, the daughter of famous former senator of georgia sam nunn. jon: talk a little bit about the department of veterans affairs, that bipartisan plan is about to be revealed. to reform that department that has been hit by so many scandals, delayed medical care for our veterans. apparently the agreement includes billions of dollars in spending for new clinics, hiring

of more doctors and nurses. it would allow veterans to get treatment at non-va hospitals. is this, is there the appetite in congress to spend that kind of money right now on the va? >> on this issue there is, it seems. that before the end of the week we could have this getting through. you had bernie sanders, the senate committee chairman on veterans affairs and jeff miller on the house committee chairman coming together in this tentative agreement. one of the other things this does, besides giving money, about $10 billion to veterans to get non-va health care if they're waiting in line too long, it changes the metrics inside of the va, that it is done on how good health care was, whether you got in line. enables the veterans secretary to fire people if they're not getting jobs done. all things together, seems

likely the bipartisan deal will get through. jon: bret baier, joining us from washington. looking forward to "special report" tonight. thank you. >> see you, jon. jenna: the family seemed stunned when a detroit boy missing for two weeks was found in his family's basement. right now the boy's mom and stepdad are due in court. why prosecutors say they're unfair to keep their children. despite days of diplomatic back and forth from secretary of state john kerry the rockets are flying again in gaza. up next a middle east analyst says a deal with hamas may not be in israel's long-term interests. our live chat is up and running. what do you think, do you think republicans will retake the u.s. senate? foxnews.com/happeningnow. click on "america's asking" tab. of p÷úññ @úñx

jon: right now new information on crime stories we're following. father and stepmother of 12-year-old missing detroit boy

found in his family's basement is due in court today. prosecutors say the boy was abused and all three children should be removed from custody. deadly carjacking took lives of three children last week. so far no charges have been filed. the city offered a 100,000-dollar reward for information leading to an arrest in the case. police in maine say a father, mother and three children have been found dead inside of a home just outside of portland of the police say all five suffered gunshot wound. they believe murder-suicide is a possibility. autopsies are planned for later today. patti ann: more fighting in gaza after what was supposed to be another 24 hour cease-fire breaks down. israeli's military says it carried out airstrikes against several hamas missile sites after hamas fired rockets into their country after a 12-hour break. despite days of marathon diplomacy by secretary of state john kerry no end to the fighting appears in sight.

joining us is an expert on regional security in the middle east and vice president of the american foreign policy council. thank you for joining us. >> thanks, patti ann. patti ann: interesting, you say polls show israelis don't necessarily want a peace deal just yet because israel is making progress daily in destroying hamas's weapons and machinery and those tunnels. so it is in israel's best interests to possibly stall a peace deal? >> well, it is a little bit more nuanced than that. let me break doesn't numbers for you. israel's body politic is notoriously fractious. the types of poll numbers you're seeing coming out of israel in terms of 70%, 80% in support of a continued military operation i think speaks to a rather profound unanimity across the political aisle in israel about the need to not necessarily to stall but certainly to continue what has been so far a very effective military operation to degrade hamas's capabilities. patti ann: well the u.n.

meanwhile is calling for immediate human hewlett-packard cease-fire. secretary of state john kerry has been working toward a diplomatic solution. so far he has come up empty. president obama has a rocky relationship with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. does diplomacy stand a chance here? >> well, it is interesting, because certainly secretary kerry's cease-fire proposal which was rejected by hamas and israel is the one that has gotten the most press. but it is not only one out there. there are reports of a new hamas-qatari-turkish cease-fire proposal very heavily favorable towards hamas. not likely israelis are going to accept that either. i think reality on the ground here is that the situation for ordinary israeli citizens where 80% of the country is within rocket attack, within rocket range of the gaza strip, where they have mere seconds to run to shelters is simply untenable. it made all the more so because we now see that hamas has the

ability to target israel's economic lifeblood, its ability to interact with the world, via the only airport, ben-gurion. so what israelis are doing is essential to continued security in israel but essential to continued stat discuss quote between israel and palestinians. hamas has grown too big, too fast and is too dangerous. patti ann: the leader of hamas issue its demand that israel end occupation of palestinian land. he repeated his claim that the world is too sympathetic to israel in this conflict. hamas is a terrorist group. former senator chuck hagel said you can't characterize the two sides in this conflict as moral equivalence. do you agree with that. >> no, i think that is exactly right. if you look attack ticks hamas is employing, they are ensconcing, fighters and ensconcing militants, armed fighters within the palestinian

population. when you look at media coverage in general of the conflict, what you see disparity in terms of deaths, in sillian deaths on palestinian side but that is very much a function of the tactics that hamas uses, not of indiscriminate bombing on part of israelis. in fact the israelis have been very, very careful to try to minimize. but hamas understands the very well, the motto, if it bleeds it leads. so those deaths are a win for hamas, not for israel. patti ann: israel has very effective defense systems. today meanwhile is the start of a muslim holiday, celebrating end of ramadan. it is sad day. hundreds of civilians have been killed in gaza. very little electricity and water. many families are displaced. it is very easy to blame israel but you say these deaths are squarely on hamas? >> even before this conflict broke out over last three weeks, you saw a tremendous deficit in

terms of leadership, transparent government not only in gaza strip where hamas is in charge, but west bank where palestinian authority is in charge. types of electricity, shortfalls, type of resource constraints the palestinians are suffering from, part of a long-standing problem. certainly exacerbated by the conflict. it existed before and existed after because there is failure to lead on palestinian side. patti ann: we'll have to leave it there. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. jon: a wife and mother of two goes out for gas, then vanishes without a trace. now her family and community in a panic to figure out what has happened to her. plus a day at the beach turns into a tragedy, when beachgoers are hit by freak lightning storm. we're live at scene with latest what happened there. >> all of sudden, a big flash of light and boom. felt like someone punched me in the back of my head like right here. ♪

they could not save him. l.a. fire sent a triage center. 13 victims, eight hospitalized. a 55-year-old surfer remains in critical condition. >> all of sudden, big flash of light and boom, and felt like someone bashed me in back of my head right here. went down the right side of my body. my calf locked up and fell over. i looked up, everybody else was falling over. >> reporter: the odds of being struck by lightning in the u.s. in california, 1 in 7.5 million. we just don't have those storms. we have less than one fatality a year. also unusual, summer storm. in july we get less than 1/100 of an inch of rain in july. you had sunny skies, 80s, when the skies grew dark no one was really expecting a lightning strike. >> this is not a good place to be. we should go inside. i don't feel like getting killed today. moments later all hell broke

loose. >> it sounded like a sonic boom. literally shook the building and shook us on the course. >> reporter: lightning strike can carry 15 million-volts of electricity. most people die not by direct hit i am told but by connectivity. the basically the electrical charge following through the ground, water, metal rail. a 57-year-old man in catalina was hit yesterday by lightning, jon. he however will survive. >> so sad and very, very scary. william la jeunesse at venice beach. thank you. patti ann: the situation in libya is deteriorating fast. our embassy there is now closed and the state department is telling americans to get out now. next we'll have details on increased fighting as libya's government plead for help. nearly 20 years after the oklahoma city bombing, shocking new questions. did bomber timothy mack say have another accomplice? it's the little things in life that make me smile.

[ charlie ] try zinc free super poligrip.

>> right now a quick look at what's still to come this hour of "happening now." new court action linked to the oklahoma bombing. was another person involved? we'll talk about the evidence. danger on an amusement park ride. the investigation now underway. what went wrong here. and the queen of soul blasts a popular fast food restaurant. why aretha franklin said she got no respect there. >> libya's new government or government is now appealing for international help as the country appears to be on the brink of chaos. we have new video of a massive fire at an oil depot in tripoli. the state department is now urging all americans to get out of libya after our embassy in tripoli was evacuated. chief intelligence core responsibility end is live in washington with the latest for us. >> thank you. privately former diplomats in the region believe the likelihood the u.s. will

reestablish a presence in the short to medium term is promote. over the weekend, violent clashes for control of the airport near tripoli between rival islamist militias, these militias are now the power brokers in libya. they are not friendly to the united states and seek control of the airport and the oil fields as key to cementing their control over the entire country. the head of the powerful house intelligence committee told reporters in washington that the libya crisis was avoidable and the obama white house lacked a clear plan. >> these problems are continuing to grow with lack of u.s. leadership and we need to change that path or it's going to have long lasting damage to our national security interests in the future. >> the president's deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, the same senior adviser who said after the again goesy terrorist attack in 2012 that the ab secure islam video was to blame said of the libyan crisis of the

former dictator, muammar qaddafi, killed a couple of years ago, was the one who was at fault. >> muammar qaddafi left behind the shell of a state. there were not institutions, there was not a security force that could absorb the different militias. we need to continue to do better with the europeans, putting forward plans to broker agreements different the factions in libya and bring them together so they're able to rely on a truly natural security course. >> the state department said that the closure of the embassy in tripoli was only temporary. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> so with libya teetering on the brink, are the mainstream media ignoring what's going on there? how much coverage have you seen of the chaos? one editorial in the american interest magazine suggests that if president obama were a republican, the media would be up in arms over what's happened since we and the administration supported the revolution that toppled muammar qaddafi.

joining us now with some perspective, contributing editor and writer for the american conservative magazine, alan colmes, host of the alan colmes show, both are fox news contributors. jim, what do you think? this president, this administration was anxious to get rid of muammar qaddafi. now he's gone and the whole place is going to pot. what about the coverage that it's get sng >> right. it's not getting a whole lot and the article that you allude to, jon, is written by walter russell meade, a brilliant foreign policy analyst and he said not only is the main street media avoiding this because it's barack obama and hillary clinton's handiwork, the overthrow of muammar qaddafi in 2011, but furthermore he makes the point that didn't america learn a lesson that the way the liberals will tell us about overthrowing dictators? that is 10 years ago, the liberals saying we overthrew dictator of saddam hussein and what do you expect? the dictator as ben roades was

saying, there's no civil society bee loi a dictator, that's the point to be made about iraq in 2003 but also a point to be made of libya after muammar qaddafi, it was the exact same situation, crazy dictator, no civil society and now chaos. you would think that president obama would have the benefit of coming second after bush and 10 years earlier but apparently not and the media aren't calling him into account for it. >> speak to that point, alan. i think it's a good one. george w. bush, bush 43 got just roasted over the invasion of iraq and the toppling of saddam hussein. he got that in the media and got that from now president obama. here we have president obama having essentially done the same thing in libya and not getting much heat for it. >> i'll tell you where i think jim is right and also where he's wrong. yes. we should not have gone in. we should have learned our lesson whenever we go into a country and remove a dictator.

as ben rodes played out, there's no government, there's no infrastructu infrastructure. what are we left with? we have to pull up a regime. there's nothing substantiating the underpinnings of muammar qaddafi. he's gone and there's nothing to take his place. but don't forget, iraq went on for 11, 12 years and we spent billions, trillions of dollars there and how much american treasure and lives? we shouldn't have gone into libya, i agree. but to compare it to iraq which was a much more disastrous and to suggest because obama is a so-called liberal democrat, you have fried -- fred hyde critical of obama. the conservative media ignores how much obama is raked over the coals by the so-called liberal media in terms of foreign policy. >> a stinking corpse of a policy

flub. that's part of how walter russell meade describes it in his article. you would think there would be more attention paid in the media but then there's so many trouble spots in the world right now, maybe there's not enough room on the front page. >> maybe but not hillary clinton rumored to be president in 2016 has been doing a book tour for a few months where the title of the book is "hard choices." they made a hard choice in libya and alan and i agree, not a very good choice. every stop she made on her book tour, you would think a reporter would be askinger -- not just benghazi but what about the overall strategy of removing muammar qaddafi? and then having no plan afterwards? that's what so aching after this thing. we thought it was clear as soon as we killed muammar qaddafi, wipe away our hands and walk away. doesn't appear to be a good choice. >> you're talking about the hillary clinton potential

presidency, potential until nation or run for the presidency, what is a republican alternative in terms of how we deal with the foreign crisis, their answer is more mill -- militaristic. what are the republicans bringing to the table in terms of solving foreign policy issues? >> alan,r earlier point, it was pretty clear that the u.s. military did a great job of winning the war in iraq. that wasn't the problem. the problem was winning the peace. >> agreed. >> and you seem to have the same situation in libya where it didn't take that long to get rid of muammar qaddafi but now that he's gone, you know, nature -- >> if we can win wars, but then what do you do? that's not enough. you have to reestablish an infrastructure for a country to survive. we're not good at that. we should have learned our lesson. >> and okay. but where are -- you know, this

president obama, candidate obama made, you know, a huge deal over the mess that he said that george w. bush made of iraq. where is the counterpart, jim, i guess maybe because we're not in presidential campaign season yet but where is the counterpart taking a look at this administration? shouldn't the media be doing that? >> mainstream media are being fed a story line by the white house like, quote, the bear is loose, unquote. that's the thing the white house is saying now. the president wants to get out of the white house and shoot pool and drink beer and so on. >> come on. >> mainstream media are cheering on, ha, ha, ha, ha, as the president has fun playing golf and going to fund raisers. >> they're not cheering him on. >> they're not holding him to account on the libya stuff. you would have to admit the libya coverage is not as substantial and nothing as it would have been if it was president bush and secretary rice? charge. >> it's not substantial but not because it's president obama.

it's not substantial because right now, there's so much focus on gaza and israel, so much focus on ukraine and russia that as you pointed out earlier, there's so much real estate on the front page of a newspaper, so much real estate on a news program that there's so many other things happening and it's not simply because, oh, it's a liberal in the white house. i -- it's not that simple. >> there's zero people there. they didn't leave any marines behind. >> that's being covered on all the major networks. the evacuation of libya is not something being ignored right now. >> but they're not putting it to john kerry and susan rice and barack obama and ben rhode and all the rest of them. >> you can't make it a comparison to iraq when iraq has gone on so many years, has done so much damage to the united

states in terms of money, american lives. there's no equivalency there. >> we'll let our viewers decide whether you can conflict the two. there seems to be an awful lot of parallels at any rate. thank you both. >> thank you. >> a california man looking for answers in his brother's death is making a shocking claim about the 1995 oklahoma city bombing. next the latest on his fight to get the f.b.i. to release a mysterious video that says proves there was a john doe number two and how the queen of soul, aretha franklin, said she was disrespected at a popular fast food restaurant. vo: this is the summer. the summer of this. 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.

jon: we are 15 minutes away from the top of the hour and "in and out numbered." what's coming up? >> new details about president obama's reported plan to act alone on immigration reform. how he may protect nearly half of our nation's illegal immigrants from deportation and a move that senior advisers say

will get angry reactions from republicans, no doubt. >> a sports commentator at the center of a controversy just gave a new apology after he made remarks on domestic violence that sparked outrage from one of his leagues. >> also how the younger set wants to now redefine "i do" by taking marriage for a test drive. will that really lead to happily ever after? >> all that plus hashtag "one lucky guy" at the top of the hour. jon: thank you both. patti ann: a shocking twist in the oklahoma city bombing nearly 20 years later. 168 people were killed when timothy mcveigh detonated a truck filled with explosives out of the murrah federal building in 1995. now jessie, a lawyer from california, says the f.b.i. is hiding critical information about the case that he says is related to the death of his brother who we're going to be seeing a picture of. kenneth was found dead in a

federal holding cell several months after the bombings. authorities say he hanged himself but the lawyer believes his brother was targeted by investigators because he fit a description of a mysterious suspect, john doe ii. the f.b.i. says mcveigh acted alone but he's suing them that shows a second person was involved. heather and jonna, thank you for joining us. sgho thank you. >> patti ann: the secret service evidence log says there's a security video that shows suspects, plural, exiting the truck, three minutes before it exploded. the secret service and the f.b.i. now deny that this video even exists. they say there were 30 other recordings from that day but none showing mcveigh's arrival in the rental truck. jessie is not accepted that. he filed a request under the freedom of information act demanding the government give footage. he has his own reasons for pursuing this case. we'll get into that more.

right now a u.s. district court judge has agreed with jessie and ordering the f.b.i. to explain why it can't find this video. the judge is citing the public importance of the tape. is there a public importance to determining whether or not there was a second man at the scene? >> absolutely. the public importance is really with the freedom of information act itself. we have a right to deez documents. we have a right to videotapes if they exist. for the f.b.i. or any government agency to try to take away that right is inappropriate and that's why it is appropriate that this judge is allowing this trial to go forward. >> so jessie's brother, as we mentioned, he was arrested four months after the bombing in a different city on an unrelated probation violation but then he was transferred to oklahoma city for unexplained reasons but jessie says it has to be because kenneth looks an awful lot like the sketch of john doe ii and kenneth died in that prison. officials said it was suicide

but he had multiple bruises suggesting a beating. jessie's reasoning is that it was a mistake in identity. does he have a case here? >> this is really mysterious. the plaintiff here is trying to portray himself sort of as the person going to solve a 20-year-old mystery but really, he's kind of going on a wild goose chase. let's keep in mind also, too, that the family of the deceased, the guy who was either hung himself in jail or killed in jail already received 900,000 dollars as a settlement for this. so what is this plaintiff really trying to prove? first he's going to have to show that a, the government is lying about the existence of the documents that he claims he wants and then b, he's got to get his hands on them and then c, after that he's got to make a connection between what he's claiming and what actually happened to his brother. this is a real long shot. i don't think this plaintiff

really has a good chance of winning. >> back to the public interest here, investigators did at the time release this sketch of john doe ii. now they're saying he doesn't exist. they say mcveigh acted alone the day of the bombing. he did have an accomplice beforehand and he divided in others. whatever happened, heather, to john doe ii? >> that's the question. not only that but over the course of this litigation, there have been a number of inconsistencies with regard to what the government has said. they have said that there was -- in that log says suspects, plural. there's also a question of different disc drives, computer drives that the government did not give investigators access to. all of these things raise a doubt as to the veracity of everything that the government is saying. so even if this is just typical bureaucratic red tape, the problem is it raises the specter of a conspiracy theory because there are so many inconsistencies. >> we're going to have to leave it there.
