converted into biofuel. gets 75 to 100 miles per gallon. that seems like a solution if ever there was one. bill: try that this weekend. maybe, maybe not. hey, there is surprise coming up later today. we're not allowed to give that away. we'll let it linger. see you tomorrow. "happening now" starts right now. have a great day. jon: good morning, a fox news alert and a security scare in the air that may have been sparked by a hoax. welcome to the second, to -- the first hour of our two hours of "happening now." see, you get back together with me i get all -- jenna: i know. nice to be back together again, jon. it is first hour of our show and i'm looking forward to it. jon: good to have you here. i'm jon scott. jenna: i'm jenna lee. start off with strange news. britain's royal air force escorting a passenger jet with 300 people on board to manchester airport after the pilot radioed for help over
8:01 am
possible suspicious device on board. qatari airlines flight, that qatari airlines flight. now british police say one man is in custody, suspected of making a hoax bomb threat. joining us now, tom blake, former csa deputy administrator. nice to have you on the program. we get the news. could be one thing. now we're thinking it could be something else. just walk us through, what would prompt a fighter jet air escort for passenger plane? >> well, first of all, this is the equivalent of screaming fire in a darkened theater on really hefty steroids what happened. so the airline pie loot, was communicated that there was a potential threat on board. whether that came from the ground, a phoned in threat, to the airline. whether it came from observations of the flight crew, we don't know but he immediately reported the to the british authorities. the british authorities come men's their response. the fighter jet was very likely
8:02 am
for close reconnaissance but more likely to assure that the airspace was cleared out. in other words, you don't want a general aviation aircraft wandering into a potential threat situation. so the fighter jet is there for reconnaissance and to assure that the airspace is properly managed. jenna: tom, stop you for a second. would the same process be followed here in america as well? >> well, it is a little hard to say because these are classified processes. you know, the processes in america may vary slightly but my observation is they're very similar because what they did was get this aircraft on the ground. they took it to a remote location on the, on the airport. and then the authorities began very methodical, keeping everybody calm, getting them off the airplane and removing them from the area. then authorities went in and they began their full inspection of the aircraft and passenger in
8:03 am
question was taken into custody. jenna: so we still do not have the nature of the threat yet. we're waiting for more details on that. tom, i can't imagine what it is like to be a passenger. this is one picture from sky news. looks like the man being led off the plane here is in handcuffs. hard to make out. we're still trying to figure out who exactly this man is, what the hoax was like. getting back to passengers, tom, obviously if you look out your window and see a fighter jet you know something is happening but would the crew communicate with the passengers on the plane that something different was going on in. >> well that would be the call of pilot in many could manned. he would make a determination as to whether communication was a better response or whether that might trigger some, emotional or chaotic response amongst the passengers in the cabin. he would communicate with his crew. he would communicate with other law enforcement that might be on the aircraft. he would make the judgment on the scene, whether or not
8:04 am
advising passengers is the best path to safety or not. jenna: just a quick final question here. again we're getting reports it is a hoax. we still don't know the specifics, tom, but today after this news develops are you concerned about copycat reports? does your antenna go up for other situations like this? >> well, here in the u.s. you have 2 1/2 million people that fly through our airway system every day. unfortunately on of those are bound to be crazy people that will do dangerous and reckless things. and so you always have to be on guard, irregardless whether there is hostilities in the world or those kind of things. i wouldn't necessarily look to this to signal a higher threat level across the system but you have always got to be vigilant. jenna: tom, great to have your expertise. a strange story. one only a few hours old. we're till learning b. thank you so much for the time today. we look forward to having you back as always. >> thank you. nice to be with you.
8:05 am
jon: right now a second american infected with ebola is about to land in georgia. nancy writebol is arriving on a specially outfitted private jet. she will be taken to atlanta's emory university hospital. the christian missionary contracted the virus while working in west africa. the worst elola outbreak in history there killed at least 887 people. writebol was part of the same team as american doctor kent brantly who is also infected. brantly is seen on the way to the hospital in a specially fitted ambulance is being treated in the same hospital in a special isolation unit. now some health concerns in new york city after a patient was admitted to a hospital here after complaining of ebola-like h all of. this. john? >> reporter: centers for disease control, jon, told me just a short time ago they expect to receive blood samples from that patient at mt. sinai hospital in the next few hours.
8:06 am
after that it should be a matter of a short time before they get the results. mt. sinai officials acted out of abundance of caution after a man walked into the emergency room yesterday morning complaining of high fever and gi symptoms and told people he traveled in the last month to west africa. he was put into strict isolation and blood samples taken and shipped off to the cdc. doctors say he doesn't have any of the known risk factors. >> the first thing we like to stress odds are this is not ebola. much more likely much more common condition and we're ruling those things out as well. in conjunction with the cdc guiding us on the testing protocol, we're sending specimens down to them. we expect an answer next 24 to 48 hours all they we can't guaranty it. >> reporter: similar situation last week in charlotte. man came in with high fever. turned out he had malaria.
8:07 am
people scratching that are heads down here why would mt. sinai call a press conference with odds so low. there are six incidents since the outbreak really got going and all of those turned out negative. here in atlanta meantime, there is nancy writebol, the second american with confirmed case of ebola. expected to land at dobbins air force base. make her way to emory university hospital. like dr. kent brantly came in on saturday. like hi she will walk into the hospital under her own power. said to be in serious but stable condition. her husband said the appetite is getting better. the emory team told me they are ready to receive her. >> well-prepared. there is a team and unit prepared for multiple patients even prior to this event occurring. we have all the logistics in place to handle two patients very safely. >> it is expected their stay will be measured in weeks, not days. breaking news, jon, last few minutes. british airways has announced it is suspending all flights to
8:08 am
sierra leone and liberia the next month. we're checking with american carriers if they have similar consideration. we reached out to delta air lines based here in atlanta. so far no indication they're planning to do the same thing. jon, as the outbreak spreads in west africa, you never really know. things are decided minute by minute, jon. jon: causing concern all over the world and you can understand why. john roberts, thank you. jenna: cease-fire taking hold in the middle east today at least for now. israel accepts a new 72-hour truce with hamas. israeli troops leaving the gaza strip after a month of fighting in a battle that claimed at least 2,000 lives. john huddy live on israel-gaza border with more. john? >> reporter: jenna, the cease-fire is holding. now over 10 hours into it but before it went into effect at 8:00 local time this morning, there was rocket and mortar fire from gaza into israel. we saw some of the damage. take a look. we're in a kibbutz, a community
8:09 am
right along the border, seconds before the cease-fire was hit by mortar attacks, a mortar landed here. you can see a chunk taken out of the concrete. there was so much shrapnel, follow me over here. you can see the ash right there and the door was split. all of the chunks of shrapnel that went through. this is the inside of the home. i meep just everywhere. the israeli air force also attacked targets in gaza before the cease-fire started. at this point, israel pulled all of its troops out of gaza after destroying hamas's 32 cross-border tunnels. to give youd idea how things are being scaled back, this army camp yesterday was covered with tents. there were hundreds of infantry soldiers. there were dozens more apc's. now everything is being packed up and broken down and moved out. so as soldiers here in israel are returning home, so are all
8:10 am
the people, displaced folks in gaza, going back to some of these neighborhoods that were destroyed, virtually going pack to their homes, what is left of their homes, trying to salvage, to take away anything they possibly can at this point. as i mentioned, the cease-fire, now 10 hours into it, is holding and we're hearing that israel's cabinet is meeting to discuss if the cease-fire holds, sending a delegation. that is expected a delegation of israeli representatives to cairo, egypt, to discuss a more long-term cease-fire agreement and we're also hearing that hamas and islamic jihad representatives are leaving gaza or have already left for cairo as well to talk about, as i said, a more long-term cease-fire agreement. jenna. jenna: will be interesting to see what the terms are if they can reach them together. john, great to see you as always. fantastic reporting for us live from the israel-gaza border. >> reporter: thank you.
8:11 am
>> during the cease-fire we want to look behind the numbers and the challenge of determining an accurate death toll and how many civilians died in the last 29 days of fighting. media reports indicate 1800 palestinian civilians has been killed in the conflict but united nations haven't been clear how many of those are terrorists. israel claimed it killed 800 combatants. hamas controls the ministry of health in gaza. it hasn't broken down the death toll and cause calls everybody civilians. that is not to -- militants can underplay how many of their fighters die and we're working constantly to get you accurate picture of this conflict. jon: jody air was is back in the headlines -- arias. believe it or not after a judge ruled she can represent herself in the penalty phase of her trial. can the convicted murderer convince jurors to spare her life? remember when she said she wanted the death penalty? we have a live report on that.

8:16 am
effort. jon: a new bombshell now in the jody arias murder case. the judge rules she can represent herself in the upcoming penalty phase of her murder trial. that's where jurors will decide whether arias is executed for the brutal murder of her ex-boyfriend. she has already been convicted of that. will carr live in los angeles with more. will? >> reporter: hi, jon. jody's first trial captivated much of the country. that was back in 2013 and she was convicted by a jury of first-degree murder. now arias claimed that she killed her lover, travis alexander, in self-defense but alexander was stabbed nearly 30 times, had his throat slit and was shot in the forehead. the jury was unanimous on arias's guilt but hung on the death penalty. now arias's life will be in hands of a new jury. immediately following her conviction she expressed concern that her attorneys did not plan
8:17 am
to present any evidence known as mitigating factors to help save her life. >> i've been told i don't have any mitigating factors. >> by who? >> my attorney. >> so curt you're talking about? curt said to you there are no mitigating factors for you in terms of arguing against the death penalty? >> nothing that is, what you typically see in a case like this. >> reporter: it has been well-known arias and her attorneys have clashed since the beginning. the attorneys will be there to advise but arias will represent herself and fully calling the shots. the death penalty trial is set for september 8th. the judge will not give arias any extra time to prepare. he urged her yesterday to strongly reconsider. keep in mind arias has no legal background. she didn't graduate from college, jon. she did not graduate from high school. she got her ged in jail. all it takes is convincing one
8:18 am
juror, she has to convince one person not to convict her for the death penalty and that could save her life. jon? >> will carr in los angeles. will, thank you. we'll be talking more about this. is this a foolish or a wise move by jody arias? with her life on the line, how could it affect the jury's decision. our legal panel will talk about that coming up later this hour. jenna: possible sighting after missing mother of two in oregon. jennifer huston last seen raining errands near her home. how could she make a trip up north? we get new details on obamacare. hospital officials may be cheering folks buying insurance, not so much. we'll explain the pros and cons next. i make a lot of purchases for my business.

8:23 am
murder charges. jon? jon: good news, bad news scenario for obamacare. "wall street journal" is reporting that hospitals see a boost in business and hence profits with more newly-insured people. meantime, folks expect to see another increase in their insurance premiums with the "national journal" reporting low-cost plans will see the highest increases and you will want to pay attention to this ellison barber, staff writer for the "washington free beacon" has been look into it. the "national journal" wrote an article with an interesting headline. if you liked your obama plan, your obamacare plan it will cost you. >> right. jon: because apparently the rates are going up? >> yes. we though premiums have been increasing. by mid-june, 10 states had released their proposed premium plans and from 8.5% to about 22% of those plans saw increases. jon: that typically happens every year under -- >> it typically happens of course. the political question is how much did they increase? say you saw your plan was increasing and in one of those
8:24 am
states maryland, you thought, okay i see my plan is increasing but i have a 20% sub sid ditch. that is fine. i like the plan and keep it and pay a little more. if you're basing that what percentage for your subsidy that wouldn't be accurate. the subsidy is based on benchmark plan, the silver plan and that could change and likely change depending what the -- jon: people, thousand of people who waded through that monstrous obamacare website a year ago or little list than, when it was trotted out, they waded through, signed up for the a plan, signed up for the silver plan they say, now they find out what? it will cost them a lot more and they won't get as much subsidy? >> the problem they won't find out unless they redo the process. they are not automatically notified if the subsidy is changing. they are placed on benchmark
8:25 am
silver plan and based on the if you qualify for those tax credits. that silver plan in every state will be the second cheapest option that will change year to year and that will change depending what state you're in. what they're saying you might think you have that premium and most people know at least in the health care industry that they're tying it to the silver plan premium so the subsidy will change but people don't realize that who have it. in order to figure out if the subsidy is same or different, go through healthcare.gov and redo the process. that is what officials are saying. you want to make sure you have the cheap plan and paying what you want to pay, you need to go back to do what you did before. jon: i read people that don't go back and do that will get sticker shock or likely to. some will find out they're paying $2500 more out-of-pocket this year than last year. >> right. very likely, like i said if your premium has gone up and you don't realize subsidy changed as well you may get lesser percentage for that plan than you have right now and paying more out-of-pocket. jon: why don't you geniuses at
8:26 am
obamacare do that. >> apparently not system capability at this point in time. that might surprise people. that is not something they're automatically notified of. i don't know if the plan long term to make that you're alerted if changes. if you want to know, you have to start over again. otherwise the irs will bill you at end of the year, you paid too much or pay too little. you will owe them money or if you're lucky you get a check back. if you want to know the actual subsidy, you have to redo it. jon: moral of the story, go back and basically reenroll is what you're saying? >> yes. jon: otherwise it could cost you a lot. no surprise hospitals are making a bundle now that there are lots of people win insurance and they're deciding to take it to the hospital and get their back surge e surgery or whatever. >> this is bit of news today. other news can be looked at politically benefiting republicans. this news can be seen as one that would benefit democrats. democrats can say, hospitals have increase in patients and increase in treatment. of those patients coming in the
8:27 am
percentage of uninsured is lower. obamacare is doing its job and getting more people enrolled and presumably patient intake up. people who maybe didn't have insurance before and delayed treatment on certain processes. they're going in now. that's why you see the increase. good news is less people who are uninsured. jon: and those hospitals are making bigger profits. ellison barber, from the "washington free beacon." good to have you on. jenna: jon, jailed marine in mexico back in court. latest on sergeant tahmooressi's case and chances of coming home soon. plus, conflict between israel and hamas, coming up why our next guest says this might be a sideshow to a much bigger story. we'll explain.
8:31 am
>> writes now a look at what is still happening this hour of "happening now." egypt agrees to mediate the crisis in gaza but could iran's involvement behind the scenes trigger that involvement? and jodi areas can represent herself in the upcoming penalty phase of her murder trial. by some legal analysts say it could help her avoid the death penalty. what if you had to pay a fine anytime you posted a negative review about a business? this this is that it was like they have the and one couple for comments made by their wedding guests. it is not for real? we will tell you about it next.
8:32 am
new information now on the u.s. marine killed in mexico and fighting for his freedom. the sergeant arriving in court yesterday for a closed hearing. mexican custom agents testifying about his arrest after he says he made a wrong turn into the country with three registered weapons. his attorney argues his civil rights were trampled. live with more on that case. william. reporter: to questions dominated the hearing. how long can custom agents hold a tourist without seeing a lawyer, translator or somebody from the consulate without violating their rights? secondly did custom agents dr. dr. paperwork to make him look guilty? the answers may lie in a videotape taken at the port of entry that the legal team is trying to obtain. however the government is refusing calling it confidential.
8:33 am
the attorney calls it stone wall in and wants a judge to throw out the evidence with the three guns found. he claims his agents filled out fraudulent paperwork. the government claims the search was legal, they followed protocol in any mistakes represent bureaucracy, not fra fraud. >> they may have followed customs protocol, i am not going to dispute that, but what i can say is if they did in order to follow customs protocol, they violated the constitution and violated the federal probe. >> he left the courthouse under security armed escorts front and back return to a solitary prison cell about 30 miles away. no future court date at this time.
8:34 am
if he fails to get the search warrant thrown out, he's going to have to fall back on intent. under the code in mexico for this charge to stick there has to be criminal intent and he claims he made an innocent mistake that he did not need to go to mexico, one sign was covered with graffiti and another was invisible. he called 911. they could include a. officer testifying how confusing it was down there, and the 911 operator he called and said listen, what do i do? he said you are in mexico, there is something i can do to help you. the sergeant's mother is going to speak to us as to her version of events of what she got out of yesterday and how andrew is feeling. back to you. jon: keep us updated, and unfortunate story. thank you.
8:35 am
jenna: we are going to turn back to the crisis in gaza. a cease-fire between israel and must seems to be holding for n now. ahead of talks meant to hammer out a more permanent truce two and a month of fighting. many key players involved in these talks, our next guest says we have to talk more about. research fellow, what are we not talking about covering this crisis? >> the one that was missing in all of this is iran. the single actor in this crisis because number one hamas only military supply, the technology we saw on display in gaza where the long-range missiles, from. they are boasting they are the ones who supplied it. jenna: is it possible to have a real cease-fire unless the issues with iran our address?
8:36 am
>> and a durable cease-fire would have to address the issue of demilitarization bid defending these analogies and longer-range rockets preventing this is from entering. jenna: do you think that is possible? that is what they want, to demilitarize the zone, take away all the weapons and take away all the panels. is it a reachable goal? >> it depends, the israelis cleaned up a lot of the tunnels, they admitted they did not get all, but they got a lot of it. now they have to rely on a regional set up fruit egypt to control more effectively what comes into the strip. jenna: there has been a lot of criticism of secretary john kerry trying to broker a cease-fire because he engaged with cutter and turkey to engage with hamas.
8:37 am
now some say this is a new opportunity for the united states, what is the best possible scenario for us in this conflict? >> the first thing is not undermine egypt. any temptation to restore a roundtable approach includes more stakeholders likely to be resistant by israel and egypt and regional actors. most important thing is to keep in mind what their objective is in all of this reedit relations had been strained. they did this work primarily to reorient their ship and the facts lining up. now they have achieved that. the question is to make sure they don't get the technology and long-range rockets. jenna: we're talking about negotiating with a terrorist group is realized as such by the united states government, they
8:38 am
want an airport, the seaport opened, free travel between gaza and the west bank. do they get any of that? >> with regard to the opening, there might be willingness on the part of egypt and israel to do so provided certain conditions are met stabilizing the security exchange. jenna: because of the palestinian authority that is ruling the west bank, through these talks can we empower the right actors so that this could be a breakthrough for a broader agreement that brings greater peace to the region or is that too optimistically about what could come from this conflict? >> there are indications the administration wants to use this as a threshold for something bigger. i don't think that is likely. the idea of getting the authority in charge in israel
8:39 am
and other egypt inside as well is in danger because it can bring us back to a situation close to the lebanon. hit behind the government but still able to maintain the armed status. the real key variable in this case is egypt on the other side of the border which is not friendly to hamas at all. jenna: interesting to see them assume a new role in what comes from here. we will an end there. jon? jon: if fox news alert, second american aid worker diagnosed with ebola has arrived in the atlanta area. there is the picture, a volunteer medical missionary working with ebola patients in africa contracted the disease

8:46 am
jon: another bizarre twist in the jodi arias murder case. a judge rules the convicted murderer gets to act in the penalty phase of her trial. matter of life or death convicted in first-degree murder in the brutal killing of her ex-boyfriend. all the evidence again in a second penalty phase after the jury that convicted her could not agree on the sentence her to death or spare her life, so will this become another sideshow or a move to bring sympathy from jurors. welcome to both of you. she says she wants to act as her own lawyer. she doesn't have a college degree, she didn't have a high school diploma, she got her ged
8:47 am
in jail. >> the judge said this is not in our best interest, don't think you should be doing this because the judge has to let her know she has a right to an attorney. she is thinking it is a smart move because if she can convince even one juror on the panel, say no, i like her, she is a compassionate person, a pathetic person may be, reach one person, she will not get the death penalty. jon: what do you think of that? that is assumed what happened in the first trial. >> i don't see that she is necessarily any better at doing this then a lawyer would be, but the reality is she had a long-running dispute. she tried to fire him. they pointed those lawyers as standby counsel, the legal reason is the later can't have both sides of the aisle. i didn't have effective counsel. it will make her wave it
8:48 am
voluntarily, and have standby counsel. she cannot say she wasn't represented properly. >> she is gone for sympathy, but she is so arrogant, changed her story one time, three times, so they can look at that and say she wants to lie, everybody to see her, be looking at her, but that doesn't get her out of the death penalty. >> she said please kill me. >> give me the death penalty the response should have been okay, you got it. that was a ploy. >> at the end of the day this probably will not help her much but may have a default to the discussion does she deserve the death penalty. multiple stabbings, shootings, but the commerce argument is something like 10 factors and it is only the one.
8:49 am
>> she stabbed him 30 times. and she lied about it making up these different stories again and again and again. >> not withstanding the jury rules on the death penalty, give her life in prison. >> legally it can but very rarely does that happen. >> she may be smarter than everybody. >> the idea being again the assumption in her first trial is she spent so much time on the stand the jurors got to know her. maybe they did not get to like her, it is harder to go to bed at night knowing somebody you know is going to get the needle. >> humanization process may be. >> unless you really loath her at the end of the trial. jon: it is going to be fascinating to watch. thank you.
