confrontation more likely. that is john stossel for tonight. tonight. welcome to a brand new hour inside america's news headquarters. i'm molly line. >> i'm eric shaun. top of the news, there are growing fears that another isis massacre could be in the making. this as the white house considers additional air strikes. and we're told possible special ops to fight their radical islamic terrorists. will all that be enough? we'll have a live report. and new tension in missouri today. but this time it's supporters of officer darren wilson taking to the streets. we'll have the latest on the rally, plus what's next in the shooting investigation. and whether you're into a
3:01 pm
chris white or bold red, "consumer reports" will be here with the complete break down of the best summer wines on the shelves right now. increasing calls for the white house to ramp up its attack on isis. so far u.s. operations are limited to targets in iraq with the military today confirming another air strike at the mosul dam. the pentagon considering strikes on the group in syria and some lawmakers are pushing for even more. wendell goler is live from martha's vineyard. some of the president's critics say that he's underestimating isis, right? >> reporter: you're right. they want a much more aggressive response to the group, especially in the wake of the murder of american journalist jim foley, which the white house concedes was the isis' first terrorist attack on this country. senator john mccain wants u.s. troops imbedded with iraqi forces. >> the best way to send a
3:02 pm
message to isis is through ordinance dropped on their heads and blowing them to smithereens straight to hell where they belong. >> reporter: the president's own advisors say eventually isis will have to be defeated in syria as well as iraq. deputy national security advisor ben rhodes says the u.s. already has a strategy to do so. >> we're not going to be restricted by borders. we've shown time and again that if there is a counterterrorism threat, we'll take direct action against that threat if necessary. >> reporter: that strategy, however, does not involve u.s. boots on the ground in syria. molly? >> what are you hearing about the review of the program providing military hardware to police departments? >> reporter: well, after days of violent protests in ferguson, missouri, president obama asked more than half a dozen federal agencies to look at the program in coordination with congress, a senior administration official tells me, quote, they will study
3:03 pm
whether these programs are appropriate, whether state and local law enforcement are provided with the necessary training and guidance and whether the federal government is sufficiently auditing the use of these programs. mr. obama himself questioned whether the program is being used properly on monday in a q and a session at the white house. here is a bit of what he had to say. >> there is a big difference between our military and our local law enforcement and we don't want those lines blurred. that would be contrary to our traditions. >> reporter: the president says he expects bipartisan support for the review. molly? >> wendell goler, thank you very much. as you wait to see if the pentagon will next target the jihaddists at their bases in syria, it seems top military officials at the pentagon are convinced the west cannot stop these barbaric murderers without hitting them there. general martin dempsey, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff says isis cannot be defeated unless its operations in syria
3:04 pm
are attacked. this is the latest u.s. air strikes against isis near that dam in mosul now near 100. molly henneberg live in washington with the very latest. hi, molly. >> reporter: hi. defense officials say air strikes in iraq can possibly contain isis or isil. for now the heart of the terror group is in syria. here is what the secretary of defense said about isis. >> this is beyond anything that we've seen. so we must prepare for everything. the only way you do that is you take a cold, steely hard look at it and get ready. >> reporter: at this point the president has not order air strikes inside syria to go after isis terrorists. although the white house says there are, quote, some threats that have to be dealt with. >> i don't want to get ahead of decisions the president hasn't been presented with specific military option outside of those that are carrying out the
3:05 pm
current missions in iraq, but we would certainly look at what is necessary in the long-term to make sure we're protecting americans. >> reporter: critics of the president say they want to hear more from him, especially after the beheading of u.s. journalist james foley about what he intends to do about isis terrorists, including those who may be able to get inside the u.s. >> when you consider what isil has today, 20,000-plus fighters, 3,000 of them-plus with american or european passports who can come and go as they want, they don't have to sneak across the mexican border. they can get on an airplane and land. >> the president will develop a strategy, we'll support it. so far there is no strategy. >> reporter: the pentagon says so far it's not seen any indications that isis terror cells have crossed the u.s.-mexico border and are operating inside the u.s. eric? >> there are reports that about a dozen americans may have u.s. passports that are involved in
3:06 pm
isis. molly henneberg with the latest. the pentagon blaming china for a dangerous midair encounter above the south china sea. officials say a chinese fighter jet made several passes by a u.s. poseidon patrol aircraft, coming within 20 feet of the american plane and performing a barrel roll at close range. it's just the latest in a series of near misses between chinese and american ships and planes in that area. the administration has filed a formal complaint with china. vice president joe biden today praising ukraine's restraint as hundreds of those russian trucks headed out of ukraine and back to russia. you may have seen that convoy across the ukrainian border yesterday. russia claimed it carried food, water and other supplies. the ukrainian government and its western allies denounce the move as a violation of the country's sovereignty. they accuse moscow of smuggling supplies to the pro-russian separatists in the region.
3:07 pm
this all comes as ukraine's president is set to meet russian president vladimir putin next week for direct talks on the continuing ukraine crisis. the streets of ferguson, missouri looking for a fourth night of relative quiet tonight. it's cooled a little each day after nearly two weeks of violent clashes over the police killing of unarmed teen-ager michael brown. in nearby st. louis, a different kind of rally. protesters coming out in support of the officer accused in that fatal shooting. mike tobin live there in ferguson. mike? >> reporter: we got a rare public appearance from supporters of officer darren wilson. they held a rally at a pub in south st. louis. the purpose of this particular rally, one was to show support for officer wilson and let police officers know they are in their corner. they are raising money for the family of officer wilson and possibly for a legal defense fund in the event he is charged. supporters are reluctant to show their faces or use their name.
3:08 pm
>> we are here to support darren wilson and we have no desire to engage in the negativetivity and hate which has paralyzed officer's wilson's ability to pursue justice. many of us received death threats against ourselves and our families. >> looked at as criminals because of the color of our skin or the stereotypes and it's not right! whatever. >> reporter: that was a woman who disrupted the rally with a familiar argument, saying that the supporters of this police officer are able to throw their rallies and it doesn' disrupted, while the demonstrations down on the street, complete with the bottle throwing and the looting of the stores, those always get disrupted. the people who were supporting officer wilson made a point of not engaging that woman who eninjected herself in the situation there. molly? >> mike tobin in ferguson and the st. louis area, thank you. in the wake of these type of
3:09 pm
cases in ferguson and elsewhere, a new addition a possibly coming to some police departments across the country. some of those departments are equipping their officers with body cams, like the one you see there. all part of a uniform that records video and audio while the officers are on duty. it's a move that could become the norm, but some people are criticizing it and have questions. dom nick denatale has more from our west coast. >> hey there. when you introduce the technology like this, there is always questions. ferguson police department actually this week saying they will be very interested in having cameras on their officers after recent incidents. here in los angeles where we've had problems in the past, controversies like the rodney king beating, for example, they are starting to test the equipment. we can actually show you a patrol that we recently accompanied where the police officers were actually wearing these cameras on their vest. still testing equipment, but
3:10 pm
they intend to deploy them across the police force here in los angeles. we were joining officers patrolling l.a.'s skid row and for the most part, locals we encountered approved because really those cameras keep officers very much accountable. the cops like them because it helps with the accuracy of their reports and the courtroom testimony. but eric, it also helps them dealing with the public. listen. >> the video is going to catch him or her doing whatever crime and it's going to pretty much open and shut case. >> you'll have somebody chipping away at you. not you personally, just your uniform, then you tell them, hey, i have my camera on and you're being record, then all of a sudden they're acting completely different or they walk away. >> reporter: now a study with the rialto police department found in just this space of one year, complaints dropped 88% and the use of force by officers fell by almost two-thirds. the d. o.j. and national law
3:11 pm
enforcement agency also privacy groups are working to hammer out the finer points and come up with guidelines, particularly for ways to protect citizen privacy. >> the technology that can invade privacy if not handled properly. police officers go into people's homes. sometimes seeing people at the worst moment of their lives. that video should never see the light of day. >> reporter: now the nypd, biggest police force in the country, they are also been ordered to actually test these out under an order to try to stop the stop and frisk policy there. but that actually under appeal at the moment, but could be on new york streets soon. back to you. >> thanks very much. molly? >> israeli air strike destroying a 12 story apartment building in downtown gaza today. palestinian officials say more than 20 people were injured, including 11 children. israel says the strike targeted a hamas operations room in that
3:12 pm
building as even more hamas rockets are still being fired at israel. rick leventhal has the latest. >> reporter: there has been more than 11,000 buildings heavily damaged or destroyed here in gaza since this conflict began seven weeks ago. today israelis took out the tallest building so far. it's called the zapar tower, 12-story apartment building in gaza city. two missiles caused it to collapse, sending a ball of fire and black smoke into the sky. at least 22 people were reported wounded, including 11 children. with 44 apartments, the casualties could have been much higher if a warning missile hadn't been fired at the roof five minutes before it was leveled. there were other homes destroyed. at least 14 people killed. israeli war planes pounding targets here in response to the regular volleys of rockets being launched toward israel. hamas fired roughly 100 more rockets today, every single day since tuesday when it broke the cease fire. 500 rockets this week, almost 4,000 total. most falling in open areas.
3:13 pm
but 677 intercepted by the iron dome missile defense system. the iron dome can't stop mortars and yesterday one of them hit in southern israel, landing in a parking lot, damaging some cars. but shrapnel from the mortar flew through a family's living room window and hit a four-year-old boy in the head, killing him. while egyptians and the u.n. and others are urging all sides to return to the peace talks, hamas talk a different tact today, asking the leader of the palestinian authority to go to the international criminal court and seek war crimes against israel. if hamas does that, it, too, could face charges. in gaza, rick leventhal, fox news. we have an alert from the fox extreme weather center. keeping a close eye in the caribbean, that's her, another tropical depression has formed. you can see it in that red. right now it's near the dominican republic and is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm called cristobal within the next week and make a path zipping toward florida.
3:14 pm
right now authorities are warning of heavy rain, flooding in the eastern caribbean as we see if this thing will hit southern part of our country. >> here is something else that may change plans. airlines forced to reroute flights across the atlantic because of a volcano. we will tell you where the eruption is and why it's shifting air traffic. could those corruption charges against texas governor rick perry actually increase his popularity? coming up, a fair and balanced debate on his possible chances if he indeed runs for president in 2016. plus, a police officer sworn to serve and protect now accused of a disturbing series of crimes. what's he charged with? you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you purchase. not just "everything at the hardware store." not "everything, until you hit your cash back limit." quicksilver can earn you unlimited 1.5% cash back
3:15 pm
on everything you could possibly imagine. say it with me -- everything. one more time, everything! and with that in mind... what's in your wallet? you're thinking beneful. [announcer]beneful has wholesome grains,real beef,even accents of spinach,carrots and peas. [guy] you love it so much. yes you do. but it's good for you, too. [announcer] healthful. flavorful. beneful. from purina.
3:18 pm
it may happen yet again. officials in iceland have raised their aviation alert to the highest level. this after a volcano eruption was detected under a glacier. scientists say it could spew a lot of ash into the sky. so aviation authorities declared a no fly zone around that eruption. earlier today virgin atlantic airlines diverted a flight as a precaution. you may recall back in 2010 the ash from another iceland volcano widely disrupted air travel in europe. that canceled 100,000 flights
3:19 pm
and stranded millions of passengers for eight days. texas governor rick perry forging ahead with a tour of key primary states after being indicted on corruption charges. that leading to speculation that despite his legal troubles, he is still looking to 2016. joining me for a fair and balanced debate is former national campaign director for reagan-bush, and the former national campaign chairman for mike huckabee and a fox news contributor, and also richard goldstein, democratic pollster. thanks for being here. >> hi. >> you guys both know a lot about presidential campaigning. here we are, governor rick perry getting indicted, quick mug shot, off to new hampshire, first in the nation. then to the south. the signs are there. should he be taking this indictment more seriously? richard? >> i think rick perry has three main problems in contemplating a run for president.
3:20 pm
the first is his horrible race was only in 2012. this is knotting she wants history. republican voters in primaries can give people a second chance. romney got a good one, bush the elder got one. but they hadn't run so horribly the first time. the second problem is he's not even the favorite among republican activists in his own home state. and the third, and there is a temptation now with perry to say, i forget. i'll resist that. but the third is this indictment is serious. and the evidence is that perry is referring to it as a democratic witch hunt which is it's not. it's republican judge who appointed a republican special prosecutor who spent months going after this indictment and getting it for the use of public office to customers an official act that is against the law. so i mean -- and the pure proof of what folly this is is that here is a guy ho is using -- who is using it as a calling card, a guy who made a fool of himself
3:21 pm
in 2012, the fact that he got indicted. what does that tell but the strength of this field that this can be taken seriously and is a badge of honor? >> i want to get to the strength of the field in a moment. i want to bring in ed. the governor really standing by hits actions when it comes to this veto, saying we stopped this funding for an office being headed up by a d.a. that was arrested for drunk driving. and really saying i did the right thing here. i would do it again. your thoughts on -- could this be something ha helps him? >> any governor can veto any appropriation in any state, particularly that state. so there is nothing he did that's illegal and people like david axelrod and others talked about the absurdity of this charge and he will beat this. is it a distraction that he's getting ready to run for president? no offense to my colleague here, but hillary clinton didn't exactly have a great campaign had she ran for president a few years ago. she's definitely the front runner again. relationship ritch is a tremendous campaigner. he had a back surgery last time. got into the race much too quickly. had one bad night. that does not make a
3:22 pm
presidential campaign. at the end of the day, he's going to be a viable candidate. whoever can run money will be effective process. >> something you just mentioned, talking about the republican field. rick perry not the only one facing some challenges as far as legal things that are just kind of happening around them. trips, governor chris christie in new jersey, wisconsin governor walker. just not necessarily themselves facing a specific legal charge, but kind of in their circle, these investigations are happening. richard, do you think that's going to be a major impact on the gop going forward? >> so i'm put anything self in ed's shoes. imagine being a republican, mover and shaker or a regular primary voter. do i want to take a risk that i'm going to nominate somebody who once they've been nominated, something comes out legally and i would just point you to a democrat. john edwards. john edwards was a serious candidate for the democratic
3:23 pm
nomination in 2008 and he was convicted not long after that. so i think that -- or let me put it this way. forget the conviction. the mere fact that he was caught up in a trial kind of speaks to the fact that whether it's christie or walker. the e-mails that came out against walker are pretty devastating. certainly the business with rick perry, i only disagree with ed in the sense that yes, you can veto anything, but you can't use your authority to coerce. >> let's give ed a chance. >> it's a long ways to go, and you know. you've been to presidential campaigns. we're going to have many candidates. if these people can get through this process and the case of the governor of wisconsin, he has to get reelected for the third time in a four-year term. and governor christie has not been charged with anything.
3:24 pm
there is a lot of good candidates. we've got a 16-month process before we even begin loading in primaryies. >> ed rollins and richard goldstein, thank you so much. still a lot of time before 2016. i appreciate your insight. >> thanks. a police officer in oklahoma under arrest. he is accused of commit ago series of sexual assaults all occurring while on duty. now he's being held on a $5 million bond. bryan llenas. >> reporter: oklahoma police officer accused of sexually assaulting at least seven women over a five month period, between february and june of this year. police say the 27-year-old would stop women for traffic stops or as they walked through the neighborhoods during his late patrols from 4:00 p.m. to 2 a.m he then fondled his victims and even asking them to expose themselves in the back of his patrol car or in different
3:25 pm
locations. in at least one instance, he alleged lie raped a woman. police began investigating after a woman complained he sexually assaulted her during a traffic stop. all seven of his victims are black women ranging from 34 to 58 years old. this was the reaction from one when she identified him as her attacker. >> oh, my god. i was frantic. i was devastated. i say that's him, that's him. all i could say, it's him. my hands started shaking. >> police say they're not sure if the attacks were race related. the naac, and other african-american community leaders are calling for a thorough investigation. the oklahoma city police chief says the charges are disturbing, emphasizing that 99.9% of his officers are trustworthy. >> they take it very personally and it angers us that one of our
3:26 pm
officers that people trust to keep them safe is doing just the opposite. >> reporter: authorities believe there could be more victims in the case. he is in the county jail facing nine charges, including rape, sexual battery, and indecent exposure. he faces up to life in prison. >> if convicted. thank you so much. grand jury working to determine whether the ferguson, missouri police officer should be charged in the death of michael brown. how does the grand jury go about such an investigation? our legal panel is here to explain the process. factors lg? even if you're healthy and active. phillips digestive health support is a duo-probiotic that helps supplement good bacteria

3:30 pm
3:31 pm
the giant chief of staffs says defeating isis will not be possible unless its base in syria are disrupted. israel's defense minister callen on southern israel to prepare for a prolonged campaign against hamas. 93 rockets were fired at that region today with no sign that hamas will stop. earlier an israeli aircraft leveled an apartment building in gaza. the women's soccer program at the university of new mexico under fire for hazing. the coach was suspended for one week without pay and 22 players suspended for one game after school officials say the incident involved seven freshmen, two of whom were taken to the hospital for drinking too much alcohol. grand jury hearing the case of michael brown's death, they're evaluating whether officer darren wilson used excessive force. what kind of evidence are they looking for? defense attorneys and former prosecutors joining me to give us a little insight into what
3:32 pm
exactly is happening behind the closed doors. grand juries by nature are secret proceedings. but knowing what we all know about the case and what you both know about the case, what do you think the evidence is they're looking at? >> i think they're going to be looking at whether or not the officer's conduct was objectively reasonable. in other words, from his perspective, would reasonable people think what he did was correct? if they did, he is allowed to use deadly force or any kind of force that is necessary under the circumstance. so they're going to be looking at the eyewitness accounts of what occurred and what each of the parties were doing immediately prior to the shooting, and during the shooting. >> i want to bring you in. is that part of this, intent, or lack of intent? >> absolutely. they're not only going to be look at what witnesses say, but also the toxicology of the victim and the forensics and ballistics, any blood splatter on officer wilson or the car as
3:33 pm
well. >> we've done amulet feud of interviews. the witnesses want to see an indictment. what kind of charge might possibly the officer be facing if he is charged by this -- indicted by this grand jury? >> if he is indicted, he is looking at serious charges, which would include either manslaughter or murder. but that is sort of the question, with a it justified or not justified? there is some case law that is very helpful in guiding the grand jury about how to make these decisions. >> there is clearly all sorts of different historical things that people could look at. but this grand jury is going to hear evidence of course in this specific incident. your thoughts on that, troy, the possible charges could be, if there are any? >> the prosecutor here from st. louis county is very experienced. he's been a career prosecutor for 24 years. he's going to bring forth all the evidence.
3:34 pm
he's going to leave no stone unturned, show the grand jury everything. that's why it's going to take 'til mid october. he could be looking for murder, voluntary manslaughter, or even a lesser included of involuntary manslaughter. >> one of the things that makes this case unique and interesting is also the fact that the federal government is so involved. there are lots of f.b.i. agents involved and a separate federal case going on as well. your thoughts on that, nicole? >> it's interesting. i think it's a positive thing that the feds are looking at this simultaneously. usually there is not a time line that's at all related to each other when you have state investigations and federal investigations. i think because this one has caused so much social interest and a lot of people are very upset about what occurred, it's good that two entities are looking at this separately and i think this will cause an answer to come more quickly. all be it i think it's going to take a while for them to ferret out what they really think happened and go through all the evidence. >> interesting point. one of the things we may need to look out for is that the end
3:35 pm
result of each of these investigations may not come down at the same time. troy, your thoughts on that, the grand jury could be finished with their investigation, then later we could hear something from the federal side. >> exactly. >> troy, your thoughts? >> that's true. the federal government could take a long time and they're in a really good position where they're much more independent. they don't care about the local politics. they don't care if they're going to upset the local police chief or the local prosecutor. they're going to look for civil rights violations and they're going to do an intensive job. they sent over 40 f.b.i. agents down there to assist in the investigation. >> just finally, justice is supposed to be blind in all of these separate factors are not supposed to enter into the grand jury, but it has been a very emotional scene there in ferguson. is that something that could possibly be on the grand jury's mind, nicole? >> it certainly could. hopefully not. justice is not about popular
3:36 pm
vote and what people's opinions should be. it's about the facts and it's about the evidence. and these grand jurors have a tough job to ignore popular requests and do what's right. >> troy, a final thought from you? >> the grand jury is supposed to be insulated from popular opinion and we want them to do justice. we want them to do it right. we don't want them to do it quickly. but the racial make-up of the grand jury matches the community. >> all right. thank you so much, troy and nicole for joining us and giving us your thoughts and insight. we appreciate it. >> thanks. for more on the situation in ferguson, check out fox news sunday. guests dr. ben carson, author and fox news contributor, and reverend jesse jackson, founder and president of the rainbow/push coalition. that's fox news sunday, tomorrow afternoon at 2 and 6 eastern time right here on fox news channel. >> that should be very interesting. meanwhile, it's happened again. more than 1,000 u.s. retailers may be infected with a malicious
3:37 pm
software in their cash register computers. that according to the department of homeland security. it believes the malware could allow hackers to steal customer financial data. this after the united parcel service said it found infected computers in more than 50 of its stores. they may have taken customer's names, addresses, e-mail addresses and, yeah, their payment card information. the government urges businesses to scan their computers and that we should keep an eye out on our credit card statements to make sure that we weren't defrauded, too. >> a new challenge on the foreign policy front after ordering air strikes in iraq, the president now considering action across the border. a blockbuster nba trade. kevin love joining a fellow hoop superstar. that means something could be a cinch for their team to win the nba title

time for a quick check of the headlines. three college students are dead and others injured after a car crash in southern california. the eight students were freshmen from japan in a foreign exchange program at palomar college. a large brush fire burning out of control in hawaii. at least 20 homes have been evacuated with more than 100 firefighters now battling the flames. and basketball superstar kevin love will take to the court alongside another superstar, lebron james. the team made a blockbuster trade with the cavaliers and the philadelphia 76ers. experts say the deal instantly makes cleveland a favorite for the nba title. president obama now said to be considering air strikes against isis in syria after nearly 100 air strikes have been launched to target the
3:43 pm
terrorists in iraq. that's after he down played concerns over the terrorist group in january. back then he compared the capabilities to a jv, junior varsity basketball team. in that super view with the new yorker. he has resisted arming the syrian rebels fighting president al assad, even reports say vetoing pleas to do just that from secretary of state hillary clinton. so how will all this affect the presidential race in 2016? susan estridge joins us now. susan, the president famously said that he was elected to end wars, not start them. is he in a sense, faced with limits of that view? >> well, efaced with the challenges of a complicated and difficult world, eric. the reality is isis, isil, however you call it, is maybe even scarier than al-qaeda and
3:44 pm
they're a threat not only to the people in syria and in iraq and throughout that area of the world, they're a threat to us. but the hard part, as you well know, is that as angry and as awful and as terrifying as they are, figuring out exactly how to deal with them, how to fight them, how to stop them without putting boots on the ground and risking countless american lives is not an easy question. or certainly one that has an easy answer. >> some have said, critics and others said if he had taken more decisive action in years past this wouldn't have happened. they would not have been able to take the swath of iraq and syria that they have and there are reports that hillary clinton, fo example, has taken a much tougher and hawkish stance against the disruption in syria, saying that the president should -- the u.s. should arm the rebels back then. was she right? do you think this is something that she can basically potentially use in her presidential campaign if indeed she does run in 2016?
3:45 pm
>> well, i think it's a very little if, i would say, probably more likely does run. i guess the short answer is she's already using it. i think she's done what any presidential candidate who has been tied closely to a previous administration ultimately has to do, which is create some distance and maybe lucky for hillary, that distance seems to be opening up on this issue of force in syria and dealing with isis. it's probably good news for hillary politically. and as you know, i am a very strong fan, supporter, great admirer of mrs. clinton. but the bottom line is even if he was wrong in the past, you know, and maybe he was, we can't go back in the past and really the larger and more important question i think you and i would agree is not does it help hillary, but what do we do now and what does the country do now? you see these shots of a photo
3:46 pm
