10:00 am
where the terrorist are exonerated and be excused. it stands before the international community with a wave of radical terrorist that are seizing vast cities and doing the tactic that hamas is doing. that's what isis and hesbollah and boca haran is doing. the test now is not merely the test for the international's community attitude to israel. it is war crimes of targeting civilians and the test is for the civilized world itself and how it is able to defend itself. israel accepted and hamas rejected the egyptian ceasefire proposal of july 15th.
10:01 am
i want you to know at that time, the conflict had claimed 185 lives. only on monday night, did hamas finally agree to that very same proposal that went in to effect yesterday morning. that means a full 90 percent of the fatalities and the conflict that are avoided and hamas had not rejected and the ceasefire that is has now. hamas must be held accountable for the tragic loss of life and ostiicized for the family of nations and kiss regard of civilians and be part of the general dematerialization. and that is a way for the conflict not to repeat itself. i am very glad secretary kerry and others put forth the need to
10:02 am
dematerialize gaza. setting a new long- term goal is important for israel, and the people of gaza and for all of us who want to see an end to the violence and suffering. every civilian casulty is a tragedy of hamas' own making. and the noble lawyer said it best, hamas is engaging in child sacrifice. and this is something for which it must be held accountable. for the sake of all of our children it must not be allowed to get away with this. >> thank you, prime minister. we'll now do questions. new york times first?
10:03 am
10:04 am
attacks in jerusalem and riots in jerusalem and temple mount, is there a concern in perhaps in the cities? >> thank you. we started dealing with the tunnels. first of all we were going to deal with the threats by gaza by military means or diplomatic means, one of the two or both. we began dealing with the first tunnel before the egyptian initiative. i don't know if you are aware of it, but we had information about an impending attack from one terror tunnel and we took action before we had the air attacks on our, before we had the air attacks on gaza and in response
10:05 am
to the attack. if we could have dealt with the tunnels and an immediately ceasefire and both sides raise topics and security mentioned. when we said security, we meant we would bring up the question of the tunnels and could we deal with it through nonmilitary means and that is preferable. as it turned out hamas rejected it. we had to deal with it with military means and we addressed the tunnels, by going in. that first tunnel was struck from the air. we didn't know if it achieve the result. it is very hard to achieve it by the air. you achieve it by agreement or going in and finding the poin o and identify the tunnel and dismant and he will destroy it through various means.
10:06 am
if we could have done it diplomatically fine. if not, we did it militarily and the army told us they completed it and we went in to deal with the the tunnel and went out after dealing with the tunnels. >> a forceful defense of his nation's actions in the recent battle of hamas from prime minister benjamin netanyahu. every civilian casulty is a tragedy, but he said they were tragedies of hamas' own making. they put tunnel entryes in homes and fired on israel from mosques and schools and the israeli military had no choice but to respond. welcome to a brand new hour of "happening now". i am jon scott. >> and the prime minister said
10:07 am
gaza needs to be demilitarized and adding that hamas has to take a responsibility for such a loss of life. we'll go to gaza where rick is standing by with more on this latest truce. rick? >> reporter: arthel, the prime minister called this a test for the civilized world and pointed out 95 percent of the casulties in gaza could have been avoided if hamas accepted the ceasefire. the same ceasefire they were accepting and living under in the past 36 hours or so. this is the quietest it has been in gaza in 36 days now. we headed south to ra ffa and the scene of the fiercest fighting. when we got there we found the tunnel that hamas mititants used to attack and murder three israeli soldiers.
10:08 am
here's more on what we saw. >> we are in southeast gaza in the town of raffa and asked not to film this area. we are told that that is where the latest tunnel is located. and that is where the three israeli soldiers were ambushed and killed last week that sparked a fire storm. there were fierce battles along the border between the military and hamas militants and the the house was heavily damaged. >> and while we were in the house next door, we found out the main reason that hamas didn't want us to shoot the scene with the camera, they were pulling dead fighters out of the tunnel. bodies of five militants at that site today. raffa was pounded all weekend in response to the murder of the soldiers and there were mass casulties and extensive property damage. you heard the prime minister to
10:09 am
say, there is little question that hamas used civilian homes and neighborhoods to wage the war against israel. using humans as shields. as part of the playbook, they hoped to force israel to fire in the populated areas and kill people so that hamas might win the war of public opinion. it is unclear if that happen. the prime minister made his point this evening and in the meantime raffa is battered in dire need of help, guys. >> rick, thank you for the update there. dismal new poll numbers for obama care, showing the president's signature piece of legislation is more unpopular now than ever. according to the latest kaiser poll only 37 percent like the
10:10 am
care. the number could grow as people renew policies this fall. policys that we are told are likely to cost more. but there is some good news about obama care. states embracacing the law has seen a large drop in the number of uninsured. there is a gall up study. they set up the state insurance exchanges and states that are reluctant to implement the law have seen little or no difference in the rates of the uninsured. we'll talk to the senior political reporter for u.s. news and world report. >> is this exxoneration for obama care? they have lower rates of uninsured >> it is a bit of good news in the dog davis summer here. they did ten things.
10:11 am
implemented the state exchange and expanded medicaid and in those states, uninsured rate dropped twice as heavily as states that didn't do those things. and overall the number of uninsured. the number dropped 'percent a year ago and to 13 or 14 percent right now. the interesting thing inside of those numbers. two of the states in the screen, southern states, arkansas and kentucky has seen the biggest drops in the uninsured as of yet. and obama care, still remains unpopular. and you can see a disconnect there. the people benefits from this law, may support it, but the majority of people aren't seeing and dependent on medicaid and medicare. and they are worried that the
10:12 am
law will impact them down the road. and it is unpopular in a lot of these states. >> expand on that, take the numbers and drop from 18 percent to 13 percent. the obama care blew up the insurance system and people who had doctors they liked and health shrps they liked. they don't have that anymore but they have obama care. >> that's definitely the problem and a lot of these people are voters. they are middle-class, they are voters and that's why you so the poll numbers showing it is still to be a drag on democrats everywhere. hey, what we liked, we had. we didn't want to change, and now the uncertainty? the question mark? that's the drag. do my premiums go up?
10:13 am
you can see interesting pieces for democrats in states that are maybe more conservative, arkansas and kentucky, those numbers were pretty dramatic on the uninsured dropping, but you don't see the senate candidates in either of those states going forward obama care. the administration coming out and saying, look, we are making progress on helping out the uninsured, but yet, a lot of the mainstream public doesn't see a benefit and in fact, they see changes they don't like. >> the other factor we are not getting into is five percent of the population, and who is paying for it? and what is it costing? there is no free lunch? it is tough to get your hands on the number? that is the entitlement culture and if i pay for somebody else's
10:14 am
health care and that is a broad idea logical argument that democrats are not weighing in to. you have good news of uninsured rate is dropping. democrats can say that is good news. but obama administration and top administration officials say this law will eventually popular, and four years later, 37 percent is not popular. they have a public relation's problem even if they are seeing good numbers on the the policy. >> more than ever. david, thank you. >> thanks, jon. jon, there is growing outrage of a murder of an off duty border agent shot and killed by two illegal immigrants with a history of run ins with the law. how could this happen? >> and chaos in new york city after a double decker bus slams
10:15 am
10:18 am
>> a new york city bus driver under arrest. and frightening moments caught on camera as the double decker bus slammed on the part of the street. the crash causing a metal pole to fall under a pedestrian strip. 14 people injured and three of them seriously. the driver is driving while impaired. and police say tests will determine whether they took prescription or illegal drugs. it could have been a easy win in a red state but the
10:19 am
governor of kansas faces an uphill battle. governor brownbag cut taxes and reformed education. but many consider the results a disappointment and now fellow republicans are throwing support behind a democratic challenger. carl cameron live in topeka. >> you are talking about paul davis who is running against sam brownbag who was elected four years ago in kansas and arguing for tax cuts and education reform. and he did implement them. he was uncontested for the republican nomination. but there is criticism from the democrats that said by cutting taxes, brownbag reduced the ref news from the state and it will
10:20 am
be difficult for them to balance the budget. and they will have to cut services. democrats are objecting aggressively. brownbag argues that the economy is strong and there is a lot of new business creation and unemployment rate below the national average. he's arguing that this has become in effect, a test of republican tax cutting policy versus democrat's paul davis who wants to take away the tax cuts and put it back in the state cofferes. listen. >> what we are seeing as we give more money back to the public we have job creation and record number of small businesses in the state of kansas and we are getting things done that the people want. brownbag was talking about unitty today in the republican
10:21 am
party as he moves forward in the general election. but he was standing along pat roberts, the u.s. senator who won his nomination against the tea party and said the goff has to stop fighting between the tea party conservative and so- called washington establishment. brownbag finds himself against davis, a democrat who is argue that this tax cuts should be postponed and the the brown glt bag organization said the tax were targeted to benefit kansas low income voters and the democrats would ask that that is postponed as well, arthel? >> thank you. >> a massive data breach and putting a billion on line pass words at risk. coming up our next guest said this thing will keep happening and what you can do to safe guard your private information. and what is unique about the

10:26 am
to the surface of the comet and they will record the data as they follow the orbit beyond the planet jupir. >> investigators who try to get to the bottom of the massive data breach after a russian gang is accused of stealing user name and pass word combinations from hundreds of e-mail addresses. is there going to do to protect yourself? we have the founder of save leg. good to see you. >> hi, arthel. >> we are talking about a range of businesses. smallest website and fortune 500 companies. is the internet the new terrain for cyber crime? >> yes, arthel. i have been on many times talking about this. and this is the same movie and outcome. the internet created so much
10:27 am
wealth and lots of opportunity. but it has allowed the rise of organized crime because it transends borders and states. i can be sit nothingro mania and take money. >> i said cyber crime. it is organized crime. but is there an obvious or immediate affect that you would know that you as an individual that your information is compromised and you as a business that your database was compromised? >> a lot of times you don't know until someone else discovers it. and so a lot of times, the way you find out. they say hey, you have been compromised and we see e-mails from friends because they are a victim of virus and they get e-mails. it is unfortunate. we haven't taken the security of our networks as importantly as we have the security of other
10:28 am
things. we will put emphasize around them and our networks. >> in the meantime, that information is out there and so what is it that we are talking about? >> if you are a poor victim of this, the only recourse is that law enforcement can find these guys and once they take user names and pass words and information, you make sure you are dealing with corporations that refuse to do business with people who don't take the basic precautions. it is the same time vulnerability. and they found the same in the health care.gov site. if they know it is out there, why haven't they fixed it. you can see the smaller businesses.
10:29 am
you know, they may not have the funds to hire a security analyst or someone like yourself. and you are talking about fortune 500 companies, you would think they would protect their database. what is it that they are not doing? >> arthel, it was because of all of the misstatements of t- ken. you know, there is a lot of fraud and deception about that. they need the equivalent to say you have to report back to the public and government that you have taken responsible steps to protect your network until there is a consequence. we'll not see the type of traction to see the problems. >> how would i know that as a consumer? >> you know, that is a big question. you have to look at the assurance, like we filed the report. and many comply and you have
10:30 am
a better level of trust. you guys complied and guard against the common vulnerabilities then i have a level of assurance. that is only publicly held companies. >> thank you very much, sir. >> thank you, arthel. >> and the abgal hernandez kidnapping case, the teen that disappeared last fall and suddenly returned home last fall. >> abbey is the strongest kid i met. and you don't survive without being strong. >> the attorney for the suspect charged with abducting her is fighting prosecutors over a key piece of evidence. it's how i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better?
10:31 am
my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

10:35 am
sweating it out. >> and new details on the death of a off duty border patrol agent in south texas. he was on a fishing trip with his family when police say he was shot and killed by two illegal immigrants who have a long history of run ins by the authorities. casy? >> reporter: what makes this crime more disgusting, is that the border patrol agent witnesses this. his parents and his wife and two young children. just as you said, they had gone out to go fishing on sunday down in south texas, very close to the boarder and he was off duty at the time. that is when two suspects rolled up apparently looking for trouble. >> they were there and a vehicle drove by and they noticed it and they turned around and came
10:36 am
back. and two individuals came back with the appearance of going to rob him. veinga junior fought back and was gunned down in cold blood and did not survive. his father was hit but expected to be okay. agent vega had been a border patrol agent for six years and served in the marine corps. hours later two suspects taken in to custody. according to the court documents taken by fox news. one of the suspects has been arrested four other times for enter into the united states illegally in the past. the other 40-yeaear-old hernand, was deported at least twice we know of and came back over the border of the united states. both men mexican nationals and the local sheriff said he believes that they are linked to
10:37 am
pretty dangerous cartels. arthel, they are held in jail without bond today. >> casy stegal, thank you. a court hearing for a man charged with kidnapping a teenage girl in new hampshire. each side arguing about preserving the evidence. specifically a storage unit and the suspect's home. abiggal hernandez was 14 years old and now 15. she just returned home last month suddenly out of the blue. we are joined by heather hanson a trial attorney and a criminal defense attorney. welcome to both of you. his defense heather, said look, you hardly gave any information and what are the charges against him? what is the prosecution supposed
10:38 am
to do to answer that? >> the prosecution is not trying to hold back on evidence. they agreed it was evidence. and what they are finding today, whether or not they have to leave the mobile home and leave that storage area where it is. the fact is, when evidence is mobile remove it. we don't leave bodies and guns and take them to be examined. and the defense is trying to fight against that. and that's why we are having the hearing so quiickly. >> thetorage unit she's talking about is a steel shipping container in the yard of his mobile home. the prosecution wants to pick it up and pick up the mobile home and move it to an indoor storage facility. what is the problem with that? >> it is a huge problem. the prosecution has a legal duty
10:39 am
to preserve evidence and make sure the defendant gets a fair trial, and here we are talking about a home and storage unit. that is essentially the crime scene and of course, the defense wants it preserved and not to mention the positioning might be part of the defense. maybe the lighting or distance between the home and storage unit is important. it benefits both sides to make sure the evidence is preserved and you do run the risk of contamination and prevent the defendant from having a defense. >> the issue is, the media contingent is there and people are likely to go there and do what she is concerned about. the defense is arguing that they should put 24 hour security
10:40 am
coverage. does the state want to pay for that thing? whenvidence is mobile. it is taken in and examined and it happens all of the time. we don't want people contaminating. interrupting me doesn't make your point better. the fact of the matter is we don't want -- >> go ahead. >> and here's another thing that you mentioned earlier, jon. the defense is claiming that the prosecution has sealed most of the documents and evidence. and all the defense has is a five- page vague charging document. they will demand that the evidence be preserved and the blood and salivia and text messages and all of those things need to be preserved. as it is now, the defense doesn't know what evidence will be used against their client in the trial. they have to make the motion. >> i know, if there is a car involved in a roll over and
10:41 am
a vehicle homicide they put it on the back of a flatbed truck and take it to the storage warehouse for processing. what is the big deal with a mobile home and steel trailer? >> i think jon, you would agree it is not a car accident. he is charged with felony kidnapping and not talking about a little piece of evidence that is mobile and can be moved. this is his house and storage unit where the prosecution is claiming he kept the little girl confined for nine months. you run the risk of contamination and compromising the evidence that is contained in the storage unit and house. and most importantly, you are potentially compromising the defendant's constitutional right to present a defense if you move the evidence around and basically tampering with the crime scene. >> heather, last word. >> the public has access to it as it is now.
10:42 am
10:43 am
10:45 am
>> hi, everybody. i am jenna lee. coming up strong comments from prime minister netanyahu over the crisis in the middle east. former president carter said we should recognize hamas. and this woman got past airport security and on a southwest airplane without a ticket. got through security and everything. how does that even happen these days. and check this out, apparently the shark doesn't like selfies. he is attacking the camera find out why in the next hour.
10:46 am
>> meanwhile, it is a trend in the corporate world. companies lowering their tax rates by reincorporating businesses overseas. president obama denouncing the move and calling the tax inversions unpatriotic and mr. obama may call on the pen and phone. and lauren is now here with more on that. lauren, what are the law makers doing about this? >> there is much disagreement in congress about how to handle the tax inversions. an american company said let's move our head quarters to another country where the tax rate is lower. no wonder american companies are doing this in big numbers. what is going to be done about it? the prpresident is calling tax
10:47 am
inversions unpatriotic and telling congress they need to act. this is what treasury said. we'll review a broad range of authorities for possible options that limit the ability to engage in tax inversions. they are looking at more options and acting unlaterally here. we are seeing many reports that say walgreens not planning to move the head quarters to the uk. that is one and maybe they are afraid of retaliation here and the other r concern, maybe many companies will get ahead and they will see more inversions if the new rules are not retroactive. >> 11 big banks failing to deliver adequate plans to federal regulators that they can
10:48 am
avoid an economic crisis. >> a little bit. bank of america and golden saks and city group. they failed to prove if we have another economic crisis, they have a plan in place. a so- called living will. to wind themselves down without needing taxpayer money. they are handing in pages of documents to federal authorities and they are not passing, for reasons they don't know. it is very ambiggious. the process is, because they didn't have sufficient plans and back and forth with the administration, for the next step, we don't know what it is. they believe it is a move to make the big banks smaller. i want to point out that the bank stocks are up today. >> interesting, interesting story. lauren, thanks a lot. >> thank you. first year of obama care impacting lives of americans.
10:49 am
fox news looked out the roll out in new hampshire where the motto is live free or die. >> from 2008 to 10, she served in the new hampshire house as a democratic representative. and this democrat wants nothing to do with obama care. >> we'll opt out. we are asked to pay for things we simply don't need. >> price has been with her partner 20 years and tying the knot in 2010. >> i am married to someone of the same- sex and now made to purchase birth control coverage and pregnancy coverage. i am 50 and my partner is 57 and we don't need birth control. >> live free or die, obama care in new hampshire. and it is by bret baier 10:00 p.m. eastern. and sunday night nine eastern. >> russia is beefing up the
10:50 am
10:53 am
right now, russia building up its forces along the ukraine border steering fears that president vladimir putin is getting ready to invade. in an op-ed published today, peter brooks, former deputy assistant secretary of defense, writes "russia could double down on ukraine any time now undeterred by the west's questionable response to the tragic malaysian airliner shootdown or the moral and material support of ukrainian rebels. russia seems ready to roll."
10:54 am
peter brooks is joining me now. let's get to it with a buildup of forces on the border. what is putin up to? >> it's hard to say with precision. i mean, obviously the fact that he's doubled the number of troops means that he may do something with those troops. he's already giving support to the rebels. rebels aren't doing well against the army and putin knows he has more strength or more capable military than ukrainians. it's possible if rebels look like they're going to lose, he could send his troops across the border to help them and to pound ukrainian army or to seize more territory just like he did in crimea. >> do i hear you saying that you don't think ukrainian forces would be formidable enough to crush the rebels? >> well, they are formidable enough to crush the rebels in my view and i hope we think about giving them assistance especially intelligence to help them do that. i'm worried that since putin is
10:55 am
supporting the rebels, if he sees rebels will go down in flames, he may use that powerful red army to come across the border and provide more support than he already is through material and moral support that he's been providing so far to insurgence. >> regarding support for ukrainian government and military, is the u.s. doing enough or falling short? >> well, on the outside of government it appears to me that we're falling short. a big story about how we have advisers in kiev related to tragic shootdown of that malishian airliner. i don't know and i hope it is going on that we are providing them intelligence and doing more in terms of logistics and maybe even considering other types of support to help sustain this ukrainian army. i think there's a reason for us to believe that ukraine should remain as a country. unfortunately it's lost crimea.
10:56 am
i think we should support that. >> does this go beyond ukraine? is putin somehow trying to back door into a military brawl with the u.s.? >> i hope not. i don't think that's what he wants. he wants us to just basically did in crimea. just to say, okay, well that's happened and nothing - -- you notice nothing is happening on crimea. there are economic sanctions. he wants us to give in. i don't think he wants a military confrontation. the problem is that if we keep acquiescing, hopefully he won't go into ukraine. what does putin want next? >> thank you for your time, sir. >> thanks for having me. coming up, details on the fight to save the life of two americans who contracted ebola in africa. eltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit.
10:57 am

we'll find that out in just a bit. >> where is she disappearing to? stick around. you'll find out why and where she is. >> thanks, guys. hard for me to disappear anywhere these days. fox news alert. israel on the defense saying its military actions in gaza were justified and proportionate as it pulls the rest of the ground forces out it great to see today. i'm jenna lee in for gretchen. benjaminetanyahu speaking out for the first time putting the blame for deadly fighting on hamas. >> israel deeply regrets every civilian casualty. every single one. we do not target them. we do not seek them. the people of gaza are not our enemy. our enemy is hamas. our enemy are the other terrorist organizations trying to kill our people and hamas must be prevented from rearming as part of
