time that's better for democrat. he said in a statement, quote, what's so cynical about the announcement is that the president isn't saying he'll follow the law. he's just saying he'll go around the law. once it's too late for americans to hold his party account bable in the november elections. but president obama maintains he has a legal authority to act alone and will do so because he said the right thing to do for the country. he chided congress for not passing the senate democrat's bill. >> my preference is to see congress act. we had bipartisan action in the is that the.9 the house republicans had sat on it for over a year. damaged the economy. it has held america back. it is a mistake. his decision to delay any executive action until after the midterm disappointed liberal add

voe kai asy groups pushing him to act now. a statement from the united farm workers said quote, justice delayed is yus tis denied. instead of doing what's right for the economy, farm workers and country, he, meaning the president, broke his promise to the millions of immigrants and latinos looking for him to lead on this issue in the wake of republicans dysfunction and obstruction. democratic senator bill nelson supported the president's decision and said no one would listen to quote, an informed debate on immigration before the election. >> okay, thank you so much. >> meanwhile, american allies promising to help in the global war against isis members of nato pledging to join a coalition that will strike the islamic state both with military fire power and their financial resources. meanwhile, syria launches its own offensive against the group

that has taken over huge chunk of that nation, plus iraq. live in our mideast bureau with more. >> yes, syria's army launched a massive air campaign against isis today in the city of raca. it is in the northeastern part of syria. it's been an isis stronghold for months and as we know, isis controls the large swath of northern and northeastern and eastern syria along with northern iraq, so again, syria has really been hitting and ratcheting up its air strikes in its locations in the northeastern part of the country for a couple of days now and in iraq today, kurdish forces have reportedly made gains on pushing isis back from the mosul dam. this has been another main battle front in iraq. in northern iraq. they also according to the military, received help from u.s. air strikes.

in fact, u.s. central command says that it carried out more than 130 air strikes across iraq. still, kurdish forces, a lot of kurdish fighters say they need more help from the united states, including more weapons and that's why president obama has called on the international community to also join in the fight and as mentioned, coalition of international allies have promised to help fight isis as well. but again, what america's role will be going forward in dismantling isis' both financial and military capabilities remains unknown. whether that means increased air strikes, more air strikes, something even broader. the president plans to meet with top congressional leaders on tuesday at the white house to discuss that. going forward in battling isis and of course, bringing our international allies in order to continue the fight. >> let's hope congress and the

president can get together on some sort of really definitive plan there. thank you so much. meanwhile, authorities in ukraine say a frangile's fire between government forces and russian backed rebels appears to be holding for the most part. the agreement was signed yesterday. both side claim there have been violations, but they say they're satisfied as a whole. ukraine's leader saying he spoke today by phone with president putin about steps to strengthen the cease fire. bring us back home now where a wildfire is raging neaôé,z s yosimite national park. it has burned some 300 acres so far and only 25% contained. about 700 homes have been forced

to evacuate. so far, no reports of any effects on the national park. in far northern california, a wildfire that broke out nearly four weeks ago has scorcheded nearly 130 square miles. now, the irs is telling congress there are even more missing e-mails from the targeting scandal. this news comes as the irs inspector general investigates what exactly happened to lois lerner's e-mails. >> the internal revenue service says five of its questioned employees have lost e-mails pertaining to the tea party targeting scandal after a number of computer crashes, but one lawmakers says they still may be out there. jim jordan is calling the

commissioner in to testify op september 17th about the server drive, which may not have been destroyed due to budgetary constraints but the irs says additional employees -- experienced computer crashes and lost e-mails. house oversight and government reform committee chairman darrell issa reacting to the news saying in part, quote, the irs' ever changing story is practicely impossible to follow as they modify it each time to accommodate new facts. this pattern must stop. the irs shooting back saying in part the irs has found no evidence that any irs personnel deliberately destroyed any evidence. oe contrary, the computer issues identified appear to be the same sort of issues retoonly experienced. jordan says there are 760 change server tapes. back to you. >> thanks so much for that update. when we come back, we'll talk about this heavy rain and high water sweeping away homes and

lives. we'll take you to where flash flooding has left parts of major cities under water. also, now that president obama has lined up allies around the world to help fight isis, what can congress do to help? and will they? if you're suffering from constipation or irregularity, powders may take days to work. for gentle overnight relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, for relief you can count on. dulcolax, for relief you can count on. who would have thought masterthree cheese lasagna would go with chocolate cake and ceviche? the same guy who thought that small caps and bond funds

to help fight isis. now back in washington, the president is scheduled to sit down tuesday with leaders in the house as well as the senate. he has taken slack from both parties for add mitding a lack of strategy and critics call uninspiring messages. so what to do or what will the big four on capitol hill want to hear from the president? that's the big question and what should they tell him? going to find out. tom rogen is on the phone now, a columnist at the national review and telegraph. good afternoon. can you hear me? >> i can. good to be with you. >> so glad you're here. first up, what answers will president obama have to provide congress to present a clear vision of the president's plan of aggression against isis? >> well, i think the first thing they'll have to do is outline in a more specific fashion, outline that he's been able to assemble and what they will be bringing to the table because we've seen

a good increase in rhetoric in terms of the what allies can bring to the table, but we've got to know specifics and until you have specifics, you don't have a coalition. there is a absence of details and really that's going to be the contingent factor because obviously, up until now, we have a president who hasn't been able to articulate the strategy. >> definitely concerns members of congress and the american people quite frankly and you mentioned some of those allies. not sure what they're going to bring to the table and how much fire they're going pack, so that does remain to be seen. conversely, let's talk about congress and what can they outline regarding their position to let the president know they're behind him and encourage him to make bold moves against isis. >> i think the first thing they can do is to outline the need for more production against isis. iraq and syria.

neutralizing the sunni arab tribes. anbar and western iraq who are actually much more close to american than they are to isis. even though that would be hardh1 to understand, but more than that, the president in a clear fashion that congress stands with him, that if he is willing to take action, this won't be a part of an issue and he shouldn't fear the konz quebss of proper action. >> go ahead, tom. >> i was going to say in that sense, providing a clarity after unity. that would be able to make the right call. >> you know, as we reported, syria, you just mentioned syria. syria is planning its on attack against isis. how much can the u.s. trust the syrian government to really forge a bone fied and realistic and sincere fight against isis? >> i think really that there's little opportunity, the alliance with syria.

the regime and tensions are ultimately very distant to the united states. they are very hostile. and the other group, they are very hard lined and as we've seen, anyone who stands in their way, i think the imagery of the united states engaging in some form of alliance would be catastrophic to the moral authority of the united states and -- without the regime. >> let me bring you back home and we'll wrap it up there if you'll wrap it up for me. when you factor in the domestic politics aspect of this, what does that do to hopes of congress maybe having a clear, concerted plan of action in terms of what to do against isis? >> i think there is obviously we've seen in the last couple of years, the growth of a more

skeptical -- republican and democratic -- budget. but i think also a lot of members of congress are recognizing, they have been briefed -- about the level of success, which we have seen on both sides -- and i think also with imagery that was in the excuses, the american people are aware there is a great danger here and quite frankly, americans are more willing to isis to allow isis to continue doing what they're doing without -- >> absolutely right. we'll leave it there. thanks for joining me on the phone. the time is now to act. definitely an immediate crisis. thank you, tom. a fox news weather alert. we're getting reports of two tornados touching down in massachusetts. let's turn now to janet with the

latest. what's going on? >> we don't have confirmation on these tornados. doppler radar indicated, but we have warnings in effect. severe thunderstorm watch, conditions are favorable for hail and damaging winds and yes, isolated tornados and it looks like we have one tornado right now. we had an earlier one reported just west of this area, but this is lowell, massachusetts and this cell is north and west of that. so, for the next 15, 20 minutes, we have cells perhaps could drop a tornado in this area.wws( @&% doppler radar indicating some spin on this, this, this is the concern throughout the evening and afternoon. look at the temperatures. ahead of this cold front, temperatures are 90 degrees in boston. behind it, cooler, drier air and that's one of the main ingredients we need for severe weather, so looking at the potential for isolated tornados and just last week, we had a report of tornados in

massachusetts. >> i was just going to ask if that was unheard of, but it's not. >> not as prevalent as you would see in tornado alley, but certainly, the northeast can see tornados this time of year. >> thanks for staying on top of it for us. when we come back, a difficult and painful ordeal for any family and a new film opening this week tackles the subject of dementia and how it can change a family forever. we're going to speak to the golden globe winning star of that film coming up next. >> ugly, dirty. rotten. i don't care. >> you have to stop. moki... ...because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix.

i was with you. isn't that right? >> no. no! you don't remember, do you? >> what do you mean i don't remember. we had a late supper. >> that was the night before. >> what difference does it make, i got home. >> you woke up in a ditch. the police found you in your car in a ditch. in the woods. >> and that is from a film called "archaeology of a woman" which premieres this week. it explore has woman's relationship with her daughter as she develops the early stages of dementia. joining me now, the star of the movie, two - time golden globe winner and oscar nominee, sally kirk land and dr. mark siegle, professor of medicine and member of the fox news medical a team. good to have you both. sally, i tell you, this film was done very well. i mentioned to you earlier that it was a very engaging way to touch on a very troublesome and difficult subject for so many families. i start by asking you, you have

a choice to play various -- take on various roles. why did you choose this character? is there a personal connection you have? >> yeah. when i'm not an actor, i'm an ordained minister in the church of spiritual awareness and i was trained to be a care taker and over the years, particularly in the '90s, i was a care taker for aids, cancer, heart patients and one alzheimer's patient. not a long time, but enough time to observe how heart breaking it was when this gentleman couldn't identify objects or recognize me, for instance, or would go into emotional rages. it's like in this movie, margaret wants to hold on to her dignity and her independence so much and her daughter wants to put her in assisted living and she can't stand that idea. and she's hiding a secret and she's terrified that people will find out. so i got to have an emotional range from here to here. it's one of those roles you hardly ever get.

and i'm so proud of it. what you forgot to say is that the greenwich village -- >> i'll announce it before we go. >> second avenue and 12th street. yeah. >> i'll confirm that for you. i didn't mean to cut you off. but i do want to pick up on the fact that you said it was a great range of emotions that you could take on. >> right. >> it was wonderful because if you see the film, i'm sure at some point it will be available apart from here in new york. such nuances and arranged from comedy to just complete horror and sadness and bringing dr. mark into this conversation, dr. siegle, you know very well the range of states of mind that people who are suffering from dementia go through. so i want to start with that. i know you loved the film. >> loved the film. she's phenomenal actress. >> yes. i want to ask you if you can tell us anything about any advances the medical community has made regarding%dw treatment,

prevention, even getting close to a cure. >> here is where we are, we figured out much more that there is a genetic basis of this disease. we know it runs in families. we're figuring out which genes are involved. secondly, we have imaging studies to look at it earlier in the brain and figure out when you have those abnormal protein of alzheimer's, when they're developing so we can make an earlier diagnosis. we also have figured out as her film shows, families getting involved and people that are specially train to do take care of people with alzheimer's, 'cause it's a disease for the whole family. treatment down the road will be genetically based, my prediction, and target those proteins. they're not really there yet. >> you talk about how the family deals with it. it's a family effort for sure. i mean, it's got to be a psychological impact and people shouldn't feel upset that they

need medical help. they definitely need to have the proper medical attention involved, right? >> absolutely. in the film, she was living alone. i watched it this morning. i was so affected. she kept insisting on living alone of the we have seen so many patients like that and they get into dangerous situations like that. she couldn't find her keys or her car. she had left it at home. she had emotional outbursts. she can't remember. she can't put the details of her life together. that's so typical of alzheimer's. >> very accurate. tell me again, the name of the theater? >> 189 second avenue. the premiere is 7:00 o'clock this friday if you want to meet me. >> thank you very much. you should. i want to let you know a 13whe hours of benghazi hosted -- ♪ tum, tum tum tum tums! try great tasting tums chewy delights. yummy.
