>> stay tuned everybody. the video is coming out. the story broke wide open from ferguson, missouri this morning. bill: have a great weekend and great friday. ed: begin with a fox news alert. police in ferguson, missouri, releasing name of the officer involved in the shooting of an unarmed black teenager. i'm he had henry in for jon scott. >> i'm heather childers in for jenna lee. the officer was investigating a strong-arm robbery in the area and 18-year-old michael brown was suspect in the robbery. the officer encountered brown and another man on the street, after a struggle, brown was shot multiple times. this as the missouri highway patrol takes control of the st. louis suburb under captain ron johnson, a veteran from the ferguson area. mike tobin live from ferguson where he has been following the story all day with the very

latest. mike? >> reporter: the very latest is information from the police that changes the narrative out here. the narrative we heard from people calling themselves witnesses that michael brown was an innocent an teen-year-old minding his own business when he was gunned down by police. now with we have from police with the incident report, with the video surveillance, the stills from it, that they have released is a very different story. that michael brown was a suspect in a strong-arm robbery. that he attempted to steel a stack of swisher sweet cigars, about $50 in value and that he muscled out of the way the owner of a convenience store, roughed him up a bit and made his break fourth street. then, when he was on the street, the description of him went over the police radio. an officer who was responding to a different call, came out, saw someone fitting the description and that was the motivation to stop michael brown out on the street. also what we get from the incident report is that an individual named johnson was

part of the strong-arm robbery. that this individual received this box of cigars. a lot of people concluded that is one of the star witnesses who has come forward been in front of the cameras. i think possibly i have lost my earpiece. if you talk to me i don't believe i will hear you when you respond. jenna: mike, this is heather. can you hear me. >> reporter: yeah, i can hear you, thanks. >> we wanted to know what additional about the officer that was named? >> reporter: you heard a little bit of information about the officer. you did get his identity. that is one of the demands of the crowd. his name is darren wilson. a 60-year veteran of the force according to chief. he had no disciplinary action taken against him. he was injured in the altercation that led up to the shooting. here is the chief. >> the officer involved in the shooting of michael brown was darren wilson. he has been a police officer for 60 years. has had no disciplinary action

taken against him. he was treated for injuries which occurred on saturday. >> reporter: captain ron johnson of the missouri state highway patrol who received so much accolades for changing the dynamic of interaction between the police and demonstrators came out here. he did offer a criticism of the ferguson police chief. basically because they're offering information up in dribs and drabs like this. he said if you're going to say something, we need a whole lot more saying. that is about the only criticism we got from captain johnson. i asked him if he thought there was excessive force used or if he conclude there was excessive force used? he said he could not make that conclusion with the information we have thus far. >> a lot of emotions running high. let's hope that those protests continue to be peaceful as they were overnight. thank you, mike. ed: those details changing fast. we'll follow them throughout the hour. also changing new day and new direction for iraq. at least that is the hope of millions of iraqis and world

leaders after the embattled prime minister steps aside. nouri al-maliki on iraqi tv surrendering his post to haider al-abadi who has support from united nations and even iran. the nation is partially held hostage by religious fanatics. the white house long blamed maliki doing nothing to end division enencouraging it. goal goal traveling with the president. for days maliki held himself up with tanks and troops. there were fears that he would not give up power. i bet this is big sigh of' leave. >> reporter: they blamed him for pitting shia muslims against sunni muslims for political purposes. officials welcomed announcement he was stem stepping down. they never called for him to do so. they said iraq's leadership is the country's decision to make. they made it clear u.s. support would not continue with maliki

at helm. president obama announced a military team sent to sinjar mountain, most of the refugees trapped there by isis fighters actually left, made their way off the mountain on their own. half of those remained were shepherds that didn't want to be rescued. credit several days of us air strikes for mission accomplished moment. here is a bit what he had to say. >> we broke the isil siege of mount sinjar. we helped vulnerable people reach safety and we helped save many innocent lives. because of these efforts we do not expect there to be an additional operation to evacuate people off the mountain. >> reporter: now the president's critics feel the u.s. should be focused on defeating isis, not just defending the iraqis from attacks. south carolina republican senator lindsey graham says that means going after the group in syria which is where isis built its power base. >> you can do anything i want in iraq. if you don't address their base in syria where they have

command-and-control and logistical support you will only, you're not going to solve the problem. >> reporter: senator graham says mr. obama has no strategy to actually dismantle isis. ed? ed: wendell goler on martha's vineyard. thank you, wendell. >> to another story we're following. two amish girls abducted near their home. they're now back with their family and safe but the mystery is far from solved. police say the sisters managed somehow to get back home but it is unclear what happened during the 24 hours they were missing. chief correspondent jonathan hunt live for us in new york. jonathan, how exactly did they return, let's begin there? >> reporter: even that is unclear at this stage, heather. what we know there was a statewide amber alert issued on wednesday after the two girls were apparently abducted from the rural farm stand their family operates near the canadian border. then late last night this flury you see here of police activity, when a call came in they apparently showed up at a home

in the small village of richville near the canadian border. it appears they were quite simply dropped off possibly by the same person or persons who originally abducted them. the good news is, that both girls, delay yaw miller, variously reported either 60 or seven and her 12-year-old sister, fannie miller are apparently in good health. state senator patty richie spoke to the girl's father just before their return. listen here. >> the think for me, the thing that touched me the most is when mr. miller said it is in god's hand now. so, you know, i think it is important that you know, all of us say a little prayer to try to bring the girls home safely. >> reporter: they are indeed safely home but what happened to them there in that intervening 24 hours is a mystery. who had them, where were they, and what kind of ordeal they went through? we may eventually of course,

heather get some answers to those critical questions. >> you mentioned all those questions. investigators running into some real challenges working this case. what are those? >> reporter: this was a tough case for investigators because of the simple fact that these are amish people. they follow certain traditions. one of those is no technology. so for instance, there were no photographs of these two girls. and the family would only allow a sketch to be released of the older girl, fannie miller, the 12-year-old. you see that sketch right there. there was also a slight delay in police originally getting the 911 call because the miller family does not have a phone. so the father had to go to a neighbor's property to make that 911 call. in the end it seems that police and the family simply got lucky, heather. the two girls are at home. they are safe. they are safe. there is now an urgent search on to find whoever it was who

originally took them, heather. >> let's hope they find that person. jonathan hunt live for us. thank you, jonathan. >> reporter: sure. ed: meanwhile pope francis getting a loud welcome from young catholics in south korea. tens of thousands cheering the pope as he made his way into the crowd for a mass. this is asian version of world youth day held in the stadium south of seoul. it holds 50,000 people. most waited for hours to get a glimpse of the pope. they even got the wave going for pope francis. they have a small but growing population which the vatican sees as model for the rest of the world. still to come, new charges in the murder of an american woman whose body was stuffed in the suitcase on the island of

ed: right now an update to a story we've been following on "happening now" since it broke. a chicago teenager and her boyfriend charged with murder in indonesia after the woman's mother's body was found in a suitcase on the resort island of bali. police say the couple is uncooperative in the investigation, claiming robbers. "saturday night live" alum chris cat tan was arrested after crashing into a department of transportation vehicle in l.a. florida teenagers could face trespassing charges for

wandering into the home of nba star ray allen. the kids got through an unlocked door and ran away when they realized family was there. they were questioned and released but allen's wife tends to file charges. heather: grocery store chain false victim of hackers. supervalu acknowledge ad data breach at some of its stores and liquor shops. hackers hacked a network that processes transactions. customers account numbers, names, personal information may have been stolen. listen up the breach occurred between june 20 second and july 1th, in minnesota, virginia, illinois and maryland. we're told missouri may also be affected. ed: election day. less than three months away could change the balance much power in congress. most give republicans chance of taking control in the senate. most is neither feeling much love.

40% are frustrated or upset with president obama, down somewhat since last fall but more frustration with congress. if a poll election held today, more voters would vote for a democrat, 46-39%. david canton senior writer for "u.s. news & world report." we'll start big picture and drill down on the numbers. the suggestion we're hearing you have a weakened wounded president right now but republicans don't seem to be capitalizing and clock is ticking. >> the republicans definitely have a brand problem. we heard about that. now we're seeing it in the numbers. the big question in 2010, ed, as you know is, whether 2014 will be as favorable for republicans as 2010. you look inside these numbers and it says no. i mean that is seven-point gap favoring a democrat with this environment in the second term of a midterm of a presidential, president obama's term when he unpopular, that is not a good

number for republicans where they're at. but if you dive further into the numbers the enthusiasm gap still remains on the republican side. inside these numbers shows republicans are more amped up, more excited to vote than democrats. that's an advantage they're hoping will come through but right now doesn't look like as much of a wave year as 2010 was. ed: our "fox news" polling unit does such a great job. i want to drill down on specifics. foreign policy, we keep talking about all these national security crises, how the president is handling it, only 35% approve, versus 53% who disapprove. on that, we'll see what is happening with iraq and ukraine. are voters in the midterms more motivated about health care, economy and not so much the national security crises? >> rarely do we see foreign policy drive voters in, especially midterm election. that being said though, the mood of the country is affected by

what is going on internationally and when they see these crises abroad in several hot spots and it's august, they see the president on vacation, which fairly or not, you know, you get the ream of stories come out, that looks likes he may be a little disengaged, all of that combined does provide a weight on democratic candidates because they're tethered to him, in a lot of these ways and they have to answer for him in a lot of these ways. the republican arguement is look, if you want a change, you have to get rid of harry reid. the only way you get rid of harry reid if you dislodge these incumbent democratic senators. that will be the argument facing voters. ed: you mentioned optics. we saw the president in the video twice this week come out, address the situation in iraq. seems like white house is nervous about optics of him being on vacation. drill down as well. talk about voter enthusiasm. health care was something republicans thought would motivate voters.

president obama's job performance on health care, 42% approve, 53% approve, not so great. compare to immigration, the president may be about to do executive orders, his job performance, only 33% approve, 57% disapprove. address it from what directions. one if the president is about to take executive action on immigration reform, does this suggest maybe he has worse hand than white house thinks when you get such low ratings on immigration? secondly on health care, as low as immigration, health care bad for him a long time, is still underwater but better than is on immigration? >> you're seeing a shift in these states and races, ed, from health care to immigration. at least three senate races just over the past seven to 10 days you've seen republicans go on the air with ads on immigration. they're seeing these poll numbers too and they're pivoting because, you saw about a week ago, some of numbers on health care. they got some better numbers showing insurance rates going up

in a bunch of states, red states like arkansas and kentucky. i think they see the immigration issue as more of a wedge issue. a tougher issue for the president, because you see majorities on both parties that have a problem with this. especially if you drill down into the red states which is where the turf is, in this midterm election. southern states like louisiana, arkansas, north carolina, immigration crisis, is a problem for democrats. and republicans are trying to capitalize on it. ed: you were right, dade. we'll see immigration front and center. president preparing perhaps to do some executive orders. will be a big issue heading in the mid terms. thank you for that. >> thanks, ed. ed: larry sabato is out with his new critical ball for the 2014 midterms. we'll speak in the second half hour of "happening now." we want to hear from you, do you think the republicans win control of senate in november. get out your crystal ball.

after a commercial cargo ship left the near orbit outpost this morning packed with about 3500 pounds of waste. a private company launched rocket from virginia last month carrying equal amount of crucial supplies. the 60 iss astronauts will now attempt to document the ships fiery reentry for scientific analysis. heather: the prime minister of iraq leaving his post as religious militants threatened the country from all side. nuri maliki, was prime minister for eight years and he was blamed for the insurgency. he stepped down one day after the president obama called humanitarian food drops and airstrikes a game-changer. chuck nash, retired from the navy and fox news military analyst. thank you for joining us. >> good morning, heather. heather: we want to approach this from a couple different angles. first politically and then

militarily. first politically, what difference, if any, will this new prime minister make and what do we know about him? >> heather it remains to be seen what difference he makes because on several occasions he was actually the spokesperson or issues for the former prime minister al-maliki. so they're very close. they're both shiite. they're both from the same party but what this really does, it gives, it gives iraq a chance politically for an inflection point. now the consortium that al-maliki controlled actually won more of the parliamentary seats. so that was the sticking point before which was, maliki thought he was being tossed out of power. but in this case he has stepped down. he has turned it over. he has walked away and we'll see if this new guy, al-abadi, decides to really make this a departure point which he has the opportunity to do. it would have been very difficult for maliki to change horses in the middle of the

stream but this guy coming in has the opportunity. remains to be seen whether he does or not. heather: what does this mean for the united states and the obama administration and our plan there? >> well the president has been very strident in saying that this is not a u.s. problem to fix. that it is an iraqi problem to fix and that it is up to the iraqis to step forward and do that. so with this change i think it also allows the united states to lean in more with military hardware and training to help the iraqi government because the case could be made that the government is moving in the direction of being more inclusive. but again, we have to see what al-abadi does. heather: what about a timeline for that? we need to be cautious is what i hear you're saying. >> yes. heather: how long would that be before we decide any action? >> well, we've already flown 25 airstrikes both manned and unmanned.

we've got a humanitarian crisis that appears to have abated somewhat up in the north but what we can't allow, is we can't allow isis, is forces to amass where they can really do penetration into kurdish areas or the shia south. so we're going to have to stay alert to that. but, at the same time that we're doing these, we'll call them tactical pinpoint strikes, at same time we're doing that we're teaching them lessons on how we use air power and how to avoid air power. so we have to be careful we don't send them to school too much, because when this does come to a head, and it will, there will be ground forces against ground forces, which then force the isis forces to intensify to protect themselves from ground force. as soon as we do, we then want to annihilate that mass with air power.

heather: when you say ground forces, you mean kurdish forces? >> could be kurdish. could be iraqi forces. i what i would really like to hear what does the newly-elected president erdogan in turkey say about this? because turkey sits all along the northern flank of this isis movement. that could be powerful if we energize the turks. >> captain chuck nash. thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure, heather. ed: russia allowing international inspectors to check out hundreds of trucks entering eastern ukraine. new reports of a development that could lead to fresh tension. the latest in a live report. the officer involved in the fatal shooting of a black teen, now now they call him a suspect in a robbery. we'll look how the media treated this emotional story. >> i working on it. >> stop videotaping. grab the stuff. >> i have the right to videotape you, sir.

>> hurry up. let's go.

ed: we have a fox news alert. we're awaiting a news conference on this quickly-developing story in figurer gone missouri. governor nixon will hold the news conference with captain ron johnson at noon. a lot of fast moving developments today. police in ferguson, missouri, releasing name of the officer involved in the shootings of an unarmed black teen and more of the circumstances leading up to the deadly shooting dribbles out

the details. 18-year-old michael brown they say was a suspect in a strong-arm robbery that day and officer encountered brown and another man on the street. after a struggle the brown was shot multiple times. the shooting sparked days of violence and protesting and looting and arrest of two reporters. how is the media treating the story? judith miller, pull lets letter price winning at thundershower and tammy bruce, fox news contributor. talk about with the reporters being arrested briefly. they're in mcdonald's trying to charge their phones, file their stories. police show up looking like military situation. you see that video right there. it is pretty dramatic. saying, stop videotaping me and what not. we don't want to paint with a broad brush here because the police have been on defense dealing with a tough situation. but there was an example where they clearly overstepped. >> yes. there was an example that

everyone could see and that the reporters could quickly talk about. and what is really astonishing what happened in ferguson, it has taken this long for the police to at least provide the background of what michael brown was supposedly doing before he was shot and killed. i think we still don't know the who, how, when, what, where, why of this situation. that is basic journalism. we need to know what he was doing, whether or not his death was connected to that robbery, alleged robbery that he was, is now being accused of. we don't know that yet. no one should be shot in america for stealing a box of cigars, or, killed for selling illegal cigarettes on staten island either. but you can't make a judgment about these things until we have all the facts. we still don't have them. ed: tammy bruce, judith makes a great point obviously, maybe journalists should stick to facts, imagine that. i noticed al sharpton and some others in the media in recent

days go out there at beginning of this and suggest, you know, they know exactly what happened and stirring up some protests when now we see the narrative is changing this morning. >> yeah, indeed and this is one of the problems. there has been a lot of media in ferguson and yet we don't know those details. in a lot of ways we don't know but we haven't seen those questions being asked about the details. what we do know is the media has become a focus of the story and i would suggest in this kind of a dynamic, i've been kind of happy to notice that the media realized we have a bill of rights. that the first amendment exists, that the fourth amendment exists because we haven't been hearing a lot about that with other governmental overreach stories like irs and nsa. jake tapper actually had a great tweet yesterday. a doj spokesperson noted that the reporters there who were arrested were gutsy. tapper wondered is it then gutsy for james ricen who you're

trying to put in jail with the "new york times"? there is a lot of, a lot of hypocrisy, some controversy. the truth of the matter is, the media seems to be kind of self-referential. the reporters there, enjoying many becoming the story when we don't have the details what actually has been transpiring. ed: tammy makes a great point, judith. you used to work at "new york times" with james ricen. jake tapper at cnn outstanding journalist. his tweet was incisive. wait a second, eric holders justice department has been trying to throw journalists in jail. >> denying they're trying to do it. eric holder was quoted we would never use the espionage against a reporter until he did. a terrible silver lining of this ugly situation in ferguson that we still don't know about it has called attention to the militarization of local law enforcement in this country. the aclu did a wonderful report a little while ago about this.

have a billion dollars worth of equipment which is now being distributed to police departments all over the world. this is what happens when you see a tank with a 50-cal on top pointed at ordinary americans. you and i, we all worked in iraq and other situations, iraq is not, ferguson is not ramadi. we shouldn't have this happening in our country. ed: right. these images, judith, makes a great point, tammy, made it look like we were covering a story in ukraine or iraq, not in missouri, first of all. also if you weigh in on social media aspect. there have been reporter who was arrested from "the washington post." there was a reporter from the "huffington post." they were sending out tweets, talk about impact of social media, real time during these violent protests and police cracking down that were pretty riveting and retweeted thousands and thousands of times. in addition to their online stories and stories in print on it. v, they're giving people real

bird's-eye view of this in real time. >> not just the reporters there but citizen journalists now. that is what social media allowed, the rawness of an event like this to move forward. let me also just say that the american people have not liked what they have been seeing. we don't like the militarization of the police as judith noted but we also like riots less. there are two separate dynamics. you've got social media showing us during the day peaceful protests. then you have gangs effectively at night actually rioting. the police have been dealing with molotov cocktails, direct assaults, gunfire. we want riots to be stopped and put down. that seems to have been a very different dynamic than the daily peaceful protests and people of the community are ones who were injured by this, possibly by people coming in from the outside. so social media allowed us a spectrum of images and reporting, not just from official reporters, but from regular people on the scene who are allowing america to see the

juxtaposition and difference when it comes to what is occurring there. ed: tammy bruce, judith miller, after days of noise in some coverage of this story it is fascinating to get two very intelligent women giving us actual facts and really sharp analysis to enlighten our analysis about a very tough story to cover. >> thank you, ed. >> thanks, ed. great to be on with you. >> new developments in the crisis in ukraine. russia allowing border officials to inspect an incoming convoy of trucks, calming ukrainian fears that the operation is a ploy to bring more weapons to pro-russian rebels. reports of new fighting as ukraine says its forces attacked a russian armored column, and part of it quote, no longer exists. what does that mean? amy kellogg love from london with more. >> reporter: hi, heather. just as it seems the situation with the russian aid convoy is resolving itself there is in fact another escalation.

ukraine's president, poroshenko has spoken to prime minister david cameron about this apparent incursion of russian apc's into ukrainian territory overnight. this, heather, something russia has denied but poroshenko said ukrainian forces took some of those what he called russian military machines out overnight. this though, as again, the aid convoy situation deescalates and ukrainian inspectors have been able to look into some of those russian aid trucks. they're still parked at the border between the two countries. so far nothing other than humanitarian supplies have been spotted but a customs agreement still has to be worked out between russia and ukraine. there is talk about offloading extra russian crew from each truck and one russian driver, plus international red cross representative take the trucks to eastern ukraine, offloading the goods. having each russian driver take

his truck truck back across the border. fighting continues between rebels and ukrainian forces. the red cross will look for some sort of sees fire deal for the safety of its staff as they attempt to distribute both the russian aid and ukrainian aid that has just been sent down there. finally russian president vladmir putin met the finnish president at putin's sochi residence with the finnish president saying that hopes this deal on aid convoy which appears to be in the works over the aid distribution could lead to an end in hostilities. in other words, heather, he is saying that he believes if this aid convoy is allowed in, that could be the first step towards some good wil and a overall de-escalation of the situation. unfortunately with this latest escalation with the russian ap crops apparently crossed into ukraine, that -- apc's. that couldance kel all the

goodwill out almost immediately. heather: amy london in london. ed. a student takes stancestand in his own defense and using siri for advice how to dispose of his victim ace body. a mayor is booted out of his office after city employees accuse him of creating a hostile environment. our legal panel takes up both cases. >> we will stand up a at the o tent in is the hall and i will stand up a table and chair and have my meeting.

ed: let's check out what's ahead on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. kimberly, jedediah, what have you got? >> hi, guys. at the top of the hour we're expecting missouri's governor and the state highway patrol captain to address the media on police sheeting of teen michael brown after police released pictures they say show the victim committing a strong-arm robbery not long before he was

shot and killed by police officer darren wilson. we have new information on the story and we'll bring that to you live. >> a theme park refuses to admit a marine veteran on what they say were violent images on his t-shirt. that is whipping up a big debate. >> sexist or savvy, we'll. >> #oneluckyguy on "outnumbered" at top of the hour. ed: one lucky guy and hot women, we're watching at top of the hour. >> thanks, ed. >> university of florida student taking the stand in his own defense thursday in a bizarre murder trial. prosecutors accuse 20-year-old pedro bravo of killing his friend in a jealous rage over a mutual love interest. and then, using a siri search on his iphone to ask how to dispose of his body. let's bring our legal panel in. fred tecce, former federal prosecutor. ashley merchant, former defense

attorney. >> thanks for having me. heather: fred, start with you, to siri, or not to siri, seems up for debate in this case. tell us what the discrepancy creams is. is used as evidence and would it matter? >> i wouldn't bother asking siri. i only asked siri two questions in my lifetime and who is your daddy and what are you wearing. she is only woman i could ask that too and not get slapped or sued. and secondly i haven't gotten a straight answer out of her yet. that evidence is red herring. the evidence is overwhelming. he did searches for anesthesia and chloroform. the victim's blood was in his car. he has a written confession. turned off his cell phone. the guy is going down like a sack of hammers. forget the siri evidence. heather: ashley he bought a shovel. is this hard evidence or circumstantial? >> i think the evidence is circumstantial in this case. i don't think they have hard evidence but i do think he is going down. i think it comes down to whether or not the jury believes his story, whether or not they think he is credible.

he had an excuse for everything. every single piece of evidence that the state had he had an excuse for. he had an explanation. so at this point it comes down to whether or not the state can convince the jury in their arguement that none of those explanations are plausible. that none of them work. so it will come down to his credibility. heather: fred, you know what they say about excuses everybody has one. >> right. and document where he says put your own spin on it. he is done. heather: he is done. there was a confession as well? >> yes. a written confession which he says was beaten into him. the prosecution has a document where he says, take the evidence and basically, i forget the words he used, put your own spin on it. which is exactly what the jury heard him do. ashley is right. when you're defense lawyer you can't file a motion to change the facts. the guy is working what he has. ultimately he is going to get convicted. heather: we want to move on to another topic here. this is happening in maryland. the mayor of one small town evicted after nearly 10 years in office, after four city council

members voted to punish him for allegedly berating and insulting city employees. >> the stand was to remove all my personal effects and vacate the same. and that i would not longer have access to an office because there is no statutory requirement that said, a mayor has to have an office in city hall. heather: so out in the front yard. the mayor eugene grant plans to pitch a tent outside of city hall to receive constituents and conduct business. ashley, time for a quick comment from each of you. >> i think this is ridiculous. he is the mayor. he need to have an office in city hall. this is absolutely ridiculous they're ousting him. heather: and fred, you can rapid up. >> i'm sorry. i hate these guys whose management style the beatings will continue until morale improves. these people are on notice i is problem. 13 complaints about him.
