i am outnumbered today. that does it for us. we'll see you on monday. "happening now" starts right now. happy friday. right now three developing stories we are following. independent panel finds the military was too weak to deal with today's international crisis. and that was joined by the pentagon and congress said downsizing the american military is a misstep. two democrats calling for the resignation of cia director john brennan. and a massive storm with strong winds slammed a trailer park in arizona. several rv's blown on their sides and two people are injured. now the clean up begins. >> but first, will congress act on a plan to address the immigration crisis on our southern border? >> welcome to "happening now". i am jon scott.

>> and i am uma in for jenna lee. >> to find a way forward on the immigration crieses, sources telling fox news, they are making progress and two tough bills could be voted on today. mike emmanuel joining us live with more from capitol hill, mike? >> reporter: a number of house members and today is the day to get something done on the border issue. here is a couple of house republicans on where it stands. >> it is a new draft. and what this is instead, it is a copy or paste and cut and paste of existing amendments that are there. >> there was always the same. few people had questions of how the language was worded and i was part of the pain staking

process to tighten the language up. >> reporter: now $694 million plan and tightening up a law so central american children can be deported quickly. and block the president from allowing more illegals in through executive action and tightening up a marshala blackburn proposal to stop the president from putting deportations on hold. we heard a lot of nos and yes votes. they will not get many from democrats. >> i will tell the american people mr. speaker, none of the leaders of the republican party reached across to say how can we do this in a bipartisan way. >> reporter: democrats are expressing frustration and the republicans realize they need to do something and it is a critical issue and they are

suing the president for doing too much. leaving the town for five weeks and doing nothing on immigration looks bad, uma. >> with all of that turmoil on capitol hill, what does america think about the immigration reform. not much. the jfk poll finds two-thirds of those disapprove of president obama's handling of the immigration crisis. that is higher than the 68 percent in the fox news poll. and in the job performance. 59 percent disapprove and up from the fox poll that show 52 percent disapproval. and with us is the chief congressional correspondent. there doesn't seem to be good news in the world, susan and you can see that reflected in the

30e8 numbers. they have taken a dive on his handling of foreign policy not surprising the president heading out golfing and fund-raising and being disengaged from what is happening in the middle east where the violence is escalating and it is not surprising and he took a dive on foreign policy a year ago when he drew the redline on the sand in syria and punts to the congress to let them decide how to hand tempt and over all, looking at approval ratings, job performance and economy is still sluggish, not surprising to see him go lower and lower in the second term. the number that to pay attention to is immigration. look at that number. 29 percent of hispanics approve of the way the president is handling immigration policy. why is this important? look at what is happening in the

upcoming election. they want to bring out their base. hispanics are among them. if they are not happy with how the president is operating now, that may stay home and that could be devastating for the democrats. >> it is pointed out a large part of the base is the african-american community and they are upset that joblessness is ram pant with the african-americans and they feel in large part he is favoring the hispanic community by making it possible for them to get work permit who come here illegally and they are not happy about it. >> that's an excellent point. blacks are doing worse than over all americans. and that's important. they are not getting back to work. and the economy is not improving for them. and you have the debate over the immigration reform suddenly front and center. what about our community and our kids. that is an important point to

make. this will take affect in the election when they are bringing out people who historically come out and support democrats. what does all of this mean? watch what the president does in august concerns executive action on immigration reform. if they want to bring out the base, they will make a move to bring out more hispanic. and thinking exactly what you pointed out. what is the reaction over all in our base if i make a move here to provide work permits for more people when the job numbers are pretty dire for everybody else. >> on the handling of the conflict of the middle east, the a pg poll finds that 60 percent of the americans disapprove of the job he's doing handling that. 37 percent approve. and that compares with a recent fox news poll finding that 56 percent disapprove of the

president's job handling in the middle east. when you get up in the 60 percent disapproval numbers, susan, the white house has to pay attention. >> he's been dropping and coupled with inaction and violence is escalating and in north africa and in the middle east things are falling apart. they tried for a truce and that is not working. the president is disengaged and him jetting off with fundraisers and playing more rounds of golf is contributing to more low poll numbers. the a poll 57 percent disapprove of the handling of the downed jet liner and russian

gobbling up crimea. and on a negative note recent fox news poll, 75 percent said russian president vladimar putin has the upper hand over president obama in the crisis there. and brings to mind that whispered comment when the president would have more flexibility after he was reelected. >> you have russia shooting in ukraine and unsecured crash site and no control what so ever. i have never seen a plane crash and no investigation two weeks out because of the violence there. the president has done nothing and the encroachment by russia in the ukraine doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. it seems obvious that putin has the upper hand and the president is standing back and frankly looking weak. and that's what you see in the

numbers. >> susan, thank you. >> you bet. two americans infected with the ebola virus are due to return in a few days. the doctor and nurse falling victim to the deadly virus work nothing east africa. outbreak in africa and more than 700 people dying. u.s. officials are warning americans not to travel to that region. greg is joining us from london. what is the latest that we hear about the infected americans. >> we have new information about the transport and potential treatment. we are talking about dr. kent brandtley and nancy rightbold. they were working with ebola patients with a charity. they are set to be med vacced on a charter jet. high-tech fitted out.

we are told that the plane however can only take one patient at a time. it will be two round trips and not clear who will come first. one source told me who is the strongest and neediest. and i am told that the evacuation of the two will be complete by early next week. then one if not both will be treatmented in the hospital in a special isolation unit. we are told they have two beds in the unit and first time the ebola patients will be treated in the united states. it is complicated and high stakes transfer. according to the specialist involved, uma it is worth the effort. >> what is the word there? >> reporter: the latest report is not good.

ebola outbreak is moving faster than the efforts to contain it. the top official and the leaders from the region are meeting in western africa to come up with a battle plan to fight the disease. they want to raise 100 million to flood the area with doctors and sources and specialist and beat up preventive measures. and the risk of it is spreading for the first time. and the deadly virus is breaking out in populated areas in africa and some moves by the africa authority is making things worse. the centers for disease control is cautioning that the danger of it spreading to the united states is remote if precautions are taken. >> it is a serious situation for

africa and the rest of the world, greg, thank you very much. our live chat is up and running. we want to know what you think of all of this. patients in the u.s. for treatment. log on to fox news.com/happening now. and click on the america's asking tab to join in on the conversation. in the middle east three day ceasefire over almost before it began. both sides accuse each other of breaking the truce. dozens of palestinians reported killed and the israeli military fears one of the soldiers were abducted. conner powell is live in gaza city. >> reporter: in all honesty, jon, i am not sure the ceasefire got off the ground. but israeli troops were working

on detrying 30 or so cross-border tunnels and attacked by hamas. one soldier captured by hamas. and two killed. the hamas political wing said they didn't have going to do with it. and reportedly hamas leader in cairo admitted they have captured the soldier and saying that the this happen before the ceasefire. and regardless of when it happen the u.s. and u.n. condemned the capturing of the soldier and the break of the ceasefire. secretary of state kerry said hamas violated the ceasefire. and israel officials will take all necessary steps to recover second lieutenant golden. what that means is not clear.

a major escalation of fighting. they are pounding gaza more have been killed today. it also might mean that israel is pressed into negotiating with hamas over this. in the past another soldier was kidnapped and he was taken and ultimately israel had to trade more than a thousand hamas prisoners with him. whether or not that happens is not clear. it is a major escalation in the the crisis here, john. >> it goes on. thank you. allegations of spying on capitol hill, now the head of the cia finds himself on the wrong side of the powerful intelligence committee as two democrats say it is time for him to go. a deadly day in taiwan.

(announcer) ask your doctor about linzess-- a once-daily capsule for adults with ibs with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation. linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements. it helps you proactively manage your symptoms. do not give linzess to children under 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include, gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. bottom line, ask your doctor about linzess today.

federal reserve that the market needs the record of low interest rates. they are jumping and gold prices are moving higher and the job's report is not all we have today. manufacturing import in three years and conservative spending and that fuels the economy. and still the impetus here is to sell. further sanctions on russia hitting germany economy. and there is a lot of issues and jon and uma, we haven't had a correction for the market in three years. >> no one likes the correction. >> we like it to go up and up. along with our income, jon. >> we have reported on another ceasefire in gaza collapsing hours after it went in affect.

hamas has a problem. what will be the dividend that they will get? in the end of the day, hamas will have to accept a ceasefire. they are trying to continue the breaching and con compel israel to accept the hamas. they want a airport and port and access to international water and breaking the encirclement of gaza and i don't think the israelis will accept that and that's why ceasefires are difficult to maintain at this point in time. >> you appear on arab media every day. have you seen criticism in the arab media at the all? >> that is an excellent question. what we see in the arab world pro american and anti- american, and those who have peace agreements with israelis. everybody has decided that the

loss of life and critize israel for the bombing. but they divide in two camps. one camp that hamas should be supported and that would be iran and syria and hesbollah and the other camp much larger that said it is the fault of hamas. hamas should not again. and should have accepted the ceasefire palestinians are killed. united in the war against israel but divided in who will support hamas. >> what about the way israel is critized by countries and the way that the relationship between the united states and israel is playing out there in the arab media. >> the united states in this case has a problem in the sense that its allies are divided. usually what happens in the past hamas and israel engage militarily, the block of pro-

american arab moderates get together and pressure them. turkey and qatar are allies of the united states. and versus egypt and saudi and jordan want a ceasefire and result not hamas but the palestinian authority. and so that complicates things for washington and that is reflected in the media as mentioned earlier. >> what about iran in all of this? what about the issue of iran backing hamas? >> iran is the regional winner so far in this game. iran is involving itself in syria and now intervening in iraq. and iran is backing another insurrection in yemen. iran is doing many things and not delivering on the the nose. and the american public is not noticing these things because the allies of iran is triggering

the conflicts with israel. and hamas will decide whether the ceasefire will last or not. it is a tactical situation. >> it seems that iran is benefitting in a big way. thank you for your insight and i know you are keeping a close focus on what is happening there and it is serious and we are keep close watch o. >> thank you, uma. >> more conflict overseas and more military adding drones to thears nil. there is counter drones. and giving a never before seen look at intensive anti- drone training. will car is live outside of los angeles. will? >> reporter: hi, jon, in world war ii, they would test a variety of different missiles and today doing something a tad bit different. learning how to combat the

longer. >> yes, i would do that especially if you don't have a lot of time and working all of the time. take five minutes of your schedule and you do vigorous exercise add three years to your life. this is important. this study was published in the american college of cardiology. and they looked at 50,000 people. and it is what they are seeing. that half an hour three times a week we talk about all of the time, that's great and that will help you. five minutes of vigorous exercise can lower the risk of death. the numbers and statistics. this rick of dying from heart disease is 45 percent lower than the ones that run 45 minutes and overall cause of death reduced 35 percent. this is significant. >> and the outstanding thing to

me. people running six minute miles and a fast cliff and running long, long-distances, they will do any better in the the study than the people loping along five minutes a day. >> your point is taken. if you are running too fast. it would be knee injuries and ligaments and so this is a great part of the study that tells you, you don't have to run that long and fast. just that five minutes. and if you are diabetes and you are a smoker, you have also benefitted from this. >> if you are running and jogging. you will have healthy foods and diet and give them the benefit. and you can see them with diabetes and smokers. that adds to their lives and so you and i need to five the five minutes in our schedule. >> after knee surgery, i am not a runner.
