>> fox news alert. the u.s. navy responds after an attack on american sailors overseas. >> anti- american sailors attacking our sailors in turkey where a u.s. war ship is docked. this is "happening now". >> quick back pedalling from the architect of obama care after he called the american people stupid. >> a second tape surfaced showing him to saying the same thing. >> how does he dig out of this? >> he risked his life and comes back and died? >> and a hero home from afghanistan shot and killed in his own neighborhood. what led to the tragedy? >> talk about mission impossible. how about trying to land a spacecraft on a speeding

comet, millions of miles from earth. the scientist are calling seven hours of terror and how it turned out. it is all "happening now". ♪ all of that. and a wave of violence from israel. secretary of state john kerry flies in that region, welcome to "happening now". i am jon scott. >> and i am heather nougt in for jenna lee. a mosque caught on fire and a synagogue under attack. the palestinians are accusing the palestinian leaders of inciting violence there. jon is live in israel where the tensions are higher. >> reporter: hi, heather. both sides are trading jabs.

prime minister netanyahu will crush any acts of terror against israel and palestinian letter a bas said israel is leading hamas in a religious war. this as secretary kerry is in jordan meeting with king abdulla. this is the attacks that continue. they are happening with such frequency, it is getting hard to it keep track of them. as you mention, a mosque was burned and lit on fire this morning in the palestinian city of rahala in the west bank. the first floor was detried and northern israel. someone through a molatov cocktail in the ancient city there. no one was hurt in either one. there was deadly ones this week. yesterday israeli troops shot and killed a palestinian protestor in riot negligent west

bank. and on monday. two people were stabbed to death. a 20-year-old israeli soldier in tel aviv and a 25-year-old israeli woman in the west bank. both attackers according to the police were palestinian. and all of this, there are heavy clashes in east jerusalem, west bank and israeli police and palestinian protestors in the temple mount in the old city of jerusalem. the holy site known as the noble sanctuary a l- a qsa mosque is long the center of dispute between muslims and jews. fighting there led to the second inti fadda that led to five years and understanding in 2005. the frequency and scope of the attacks, heather are fuelling concerns that if the issues are not dealt with there could be

a third intfadda and some believe it has already started. >> thank you, john. >> in case you haven't heard the gop picked up another senate seat. sullivan led by 8100 votes on election night and the absentee could not help begich. sullivan tied bi gich to obama policys that are unpopular in alaska. >> the fallout continues after an obama care architect admitted that the legislation was designed to mislead voters and citing the stupidity of the american voter for getting that law passed. now the professor is trying to back off of those remarks.

>> the comments in a academic conference and i basically spoke inappropriately and regret that comment. >> now another video in which gruber slams the american voters once again. they will no longer get a 40 percent tax break. 40 percent, half of the insurance companies themselves. that is pretty much the same thing. why does it matter? you will see. let's bring in petessnyder fox news contractor and julie is a fox news contractor and former advisor to former senator. >> pete, americans are too stupid to understand. >> john, you can't make this stuff up. those lines would be rejected

because they are too absurd. this is the reality of the obama administration. this is really what they were thinking when nancy pelosi said we'll know what is in the bill when it passes. they wanted a lack of transparency and total distain for the american people. no wonder washington has the lowest approval rating. ncalling voters stupid, julie, is getting the attention, but something that is not getting attention, is the fact if you call it a tax, it would never pass. that's why we call it something else. >> first of all his remarks are themselves stupid. he shouldn't have said it or thought. it i am not the thought police, but anybody who thinks that the american people are stupid i profoundly disagree with. he was right to apologize. to the larger point. the supreme court ruled that it is it a tax. that's why john roberts said it

in his ruling. and the reality of obama care is a law of the land. and i understand the republicans will try to repeal it. i don't think they will be successful and if we want to continue the battle of obama care and repeal and rather than tinkering with it. we should look to the law and see how it is able to be made better. >> if this went in the writing of the law it ought to be repealed people may say. when asked if the obama administration misrepresented the affects of the health care law to get it passed, 55% said yes. this poll was taken a month ago in october before the comments from johnathon uber came out and also on the same topic, when asked how they felt about obama

care and was it good for the country or not, 52 percent said it is bad for the country, julie. i can't imagine these remarks from gruber are changing people's opinions. >> you are right about that. and the president said if you like your health care policy you can keep it. i am surprised only 55 percent think that parts of obama care were misrepresented and we know that the president misspoke about the aspects of it. i will also say this. the very people who don't like obama care, you saw it in the kentucky election where people were upset with the state health care policy and still votered for mitch mcconnell. they loved the fact that they have access to health care because of obama care and you can see that over and over and over again. >> you don't see the love out there for the program. >> you do actually. >> and only 40 percent of the

voters say it is a good thing. look, what we need to focus on open enrollment starts in two weeks and we are on the verge of disaster. you have states and see states scrambling to try to get up to speed for the latest wave which the cbo and hes believe there is fewer enrollees. this is not an economically sustainable program. >> with all due respect, nothing would make me happier if the republicans persisted in repealing the law. you are repealing elements that are popular. >> julie. >> i let you speak so let me finish my thought. they will repeal the law like preexisting conditions that can't be discriminated and

rescission. if you have cancer you could be thrown off those are popular provisions. >> julie, i would like to repeal. we are talking about government competency. you have state governments that be scrambling to implement this and we'll see the second verge of obama care 2.0. >> you and i know there is some governments that have done excellent. new york state and others are doing a poor job. >> for all of the costs and expense. i don't think it is it worth it at all. it is failed politics. >> i have sewn health care for other needs. millions of people have health care. >> and health savings account would be a perfect thing and a lot more efficient and economic to give them health care. >> they are not going to do it this time. >> one more point, back to johnathon gruber and the so-

called apology. he went on a little watched show msnbc and said this. >> the comments in the video were made in an academic conference and i spoke off of the cuff and spoke inappropriately and i regret having made the comments. >> i was speaking off of the cuff and i spoke inappropriately and i regret having made the comments. he doesn't say they were wrong or bad about them, he said i regret having made those comments. sure, he regrets making them because the world knows approximate them. >> he bragged about pulling the wool over the american voters eyes and got caught coing that. >> mitt romney 47 percent thing i was at a dinner and what would msnbc do with that, jon? >> i am not going to defend his behavior or comments and they were crazy to make and i don't stand by them. >> he was in the oval office and

meeting with president obama designing the thing, those are your architects of the affordable care act. >> julie and pete, thank you both. >>hank you. >> staying with politics, will president obama and the new congress make a deal on the budget? go to fox news.com and click on america's asking to join the conversation. >> the scientist landed a probe on a surface of a comet. it is captured by the rocket and released the probe for a historic landing and now there is anxiety in the control room there, once again, a scientist wait to receive images and something may have come in a few moments ago. phil keating joins us live in miami. pictures may be coming in are

they in touch? >> the first picture i am going to show you is before it landed. we are waiting for the first panna rammic from the surface no spacecraft has been able to accomplish before. it is a brilliant as landing on the moon. we landed on a comet 300 million miles away. (applause)

snieshgs it could be tremendous when the first picture came back to earth sent from the lander and then the second picture came in from rosetta and showing the descending and landing gear and all has not gone perfectly. the animation shoes how the hard landing was intended and it lands and harpoons in the comet and secures itself to keep from landing off. the harpoons never fired nor did the upper thrusters fire to keep it down. this image just coming in. take a look at. that moments ago. it was bombed back from the lander as it is getting close to landing on comet 67- p. hopefully in the next hour or two we'll get the image. >> phil, thank you.

>> talking about that in a bit. some u.s. military equipment ending up in the wrong hands. which country claims it built a drone replica after capturing one of ours. >> and a solder in afghanistan is shot to death at home. ..

...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

>> this is coming in, the u.s. navy is responding after youtube video is released of american sailors attacked in turkey. take a look. you can seat turkish men as they harass and assault three u.s. sailiors and yelling yankee go home. their attempt to force bags over their heads. a u.s. war ship was docked in istanbul. the sailors are not hurt and

safely on board of their ship. the u.s. government is working with the turkish national police and u.n. to investigate the incident. >> a u.s. soldier survives the battlefield only to be a victim of violence here at home. garcia was shot in los angeles over the weekend. a suspect is now under arrest. senior correspondent adam houseley is live in los angeles with more on this case. >> reporter: yeah, jon, he had only been home a short time when he was shot and killed. authorities do have a suspect in custody. the victim was in afghanistan, francisco garcia and he was at his fiance's home. they moved a party up the street and garcia was targeted and shot and killed. he returned from a tour of doubt in afghanistan.

hundreds of mourners gathered on the sidewalk the next morning. many of them were just celebrating hours earlier. >> he's an army veteran. and my heart was struck when he would go abroad to serve our country and then come back to die in our streets is really just wrenching. it is gut- wrenching. >> reporter: detectives said earlier in the evening there was a disagreement and likely a rivalry between two tagging groups. garcia was one of them. and estraeda returned and armed and looking for francisco. he was arrested the 18-year-old, on murder charges and held in los angeles on a $1 million bail. in this area of los angeles, people are upset that an

american came home and dealt with this kind of violence. >> what a sad story. adam, thank you. overseas, iran is showing off new footage of an aircraft that claims to be a replica of a stealth drone. black aircraft as it flies over the mountains. proof that iran copied american technology on that captured drone and put their own version in the air. they plan to build 2 or 3 drones this year and more going forward. at lost that's what they say. >> hily suspect. >> a vote may be looming on the key stone pipeline that carries from canada to the the u.s. gulf coast and why a decision to vote on it now may anger both sides of the aisle. >> and a hydrantroaring out of control in rush hour in l.a. and

warning, how did a man get stuck in a department store wall for three days? it says here that a won's sex drive increases at the age of 80. helps reduce the risk of heart disse. keep hrt-healthy. live long. eat the 100% goodness of post shreddedheat. doctorrecommend it.

i'm just looking over the company bills.up? is that what we pay for internet? yup. dsl is about 90 bucks a month. that's funny, for that price with comcast business, i think you get like 50 megabits. wow that's fast. personally, i prefer a slow internet. there is something about the sweet meditative glow of a loading website. don't listen to the naysayer. switch to comcast business today and get 50 megabits per second for $89.95. comcast business.

built for business. >> right now amazing video coming out of california. that is a fire hydrant near los angeles. and water just gushing into the air. and locks like old faithful and the crows responding to the scene and getting it under control. and no word yet on what caused it. maybe a kid with a wrench. >> and somebody wanted a run through the sprinklers. >> what do you have now? >> investigating a possible case of criminal trespassing after

authorities came to the rescue of a man stuck inside of a wall. and he may have been there as long as three days. and employees finally heard the guy making noise and called the cops. he might have tried to enter from the roof. and somehow got stuck in the process and he's lucky they got him out. >> wow. >> we'll talk politics and democrats in a lame duck senate may be working on a vote of the controversial colleague. they think it may help mary lamdriue who faces a run off next month. it would make it easy tore get oil from canada to the gulf coast. unions like it because it would create a lot of jobs. founder of harington capitol. and you are a supporter of this.

look at the number of jobs that the key stone pipeline could create. what do you think? >> when you look at the u.s. economy. we talk about jobs, jobs. here is an opportunity for the country to create over 40000 jobs in the u.s. economy. long- term sustainable jobs in which the american public needs. in addition, we have the opportunity, heather to create 3.4 in gdp growth and pay do you know what is a 17 trillion federal deficit. all of those things to me make sense. >> what does the 3.4 billion look like? the goal it move from two

percent gdp growth annually to 4 or 5 percent. and you create the amount of jobs and activity, and not only the construction industry. but all of the equipment necessary that would be needed to develop the pipeline. it is a win- win situation. the left argue that there is environmental concerns and we can get into that a bit, heather. i have done research and there is renowned canadian scientist that argue that thedomsday scenario that the left paints is not necessarily the case. >> the environmental study earlier this year and said basically it would be okay. and just putting that aside for a second, you're a finance guy and work in this world. i want to ask you about employers. they are nervous and forget about construction. and expanding in an uncertain

economy. this one project help to break the long jam of how they expand the business and america be open again. it is it an opportunity. it is the best game in town, america. i believe that and i know people believe that and want to believe that again. we have the senate and the congress and people have spoken in the midterm elections and mitch mcconnell who has the opportunity to seize this opportunity and make jobs that are long- term sustainable and make people believe again in the american question. >> kyle, thank you very much and we'll talk about that in the future on capitol hill and cross the country. thank you, kyle.

>> china's already ignoring questions and critizing the west. and the hospital in which thomas duncan died, that hospital will not be going to court.

sfoks news news alert.

that is the side of one world trade center just opening that supplanted the world trade center. one world trade has a couple of window washers that are stuck on a malfunctioning ska fold that are 69 stories up. 700 feet above the ground. they are tethered and the unit is secured and firefighters got the call an hour ago. they are working on a way to get them back to safety. and for now stuck with a malfunctioning unit and you can imagine it is a very tense time. pull back and get a view of how high they are up. 1700 to the tall skyscraper, the tallest in the country. they are going to have a long

afternoon. we'll keep you updated. well, the family of thomas eric duncan, only ebola patient to die in the united states. reaches an undisclosed settlement with a hospital in texas. casy ste gal. >> reporter: the family believed that the presbyterian hospital in dallas made errors when it came to the treatment of duncan. how he was discharged from the emergency room. duncan went to the feeling well and reportedly told a nurse he had been in liberia and his travel history was not sewn and so he was sent home with medication. days later, he returned to the same hospital when his condition deteriorated and only then did they realize he had ebola.

the lawyers announced a settlement was reached between the family and texas health. we pressed the lawyer for how much money duncan's family were receiving and told it was confidential. e hospital will charitable fund in the uncle's name to raise money for ebola victims in africa. >> i can't replace thomas duncan. but i can help make sure it is better for other people. we all make mistakes. >> and texas health is grateful to reach this point of reconciliation and healing for all involved. we learned that the hospital will not hold duncan's family

responsibility for the very large medical bill. the lawyer said he did not have that information. >> president obama arrive nothing burma today for talks with the leaders of the southeastern nation. and the burma trip follows a trip to china where he hammered out a new trade agreement along with a controversial deal on climate change. there is increasing anti- american rhetoric in china. there is a former cian operative. and we want to ask about the climate change joint settlement issued. we agreed to cut emissions and china gets to ramp it up. it is a win for the united states and world, is it? >> i don't think so. it is controversial, heather. china is allowed to increase emission until 2030 and the

united states is expected to cut it 25 percent. and my concern is how will you monitor it? will the chinese abide by the agreement? how will it affect the american economy? i am sure this is one of the things that the congress will take up because of the tremend concerns about it. and of course, after a bad election and a lot of the foreign policy failures for the team obama, this looks like a foreign policy success. it provides good optices for the white house. >> did we get steam rollered a bit? they hold a ton of our debt and hacking our computer and the post office computer system and strengthening ties with vladimar putin? >> the white house's view on foreign policy is broken down simply, if we are nice to them

they will be nice to us. by allowing them to move forward with the agreement it looks like we are cooperating instead of confronting and there is a lot of reasons for us to confront china because of the assertion of the perceived national interest in asia. china wants to replace the united states as a pour in asia and they are on the track to do so. and if they so the united states in decline as they do under president obama they will take advantage of it. >> do we get anything out of it? >> i don't know. it depends on how you look at the agreement. i think the white house would say it is a foreign policy victory for the united states. on the issue of climate change. i hold a different view and i will turn it over to the environmentalist and experts on the environment. but i am concerned.

we didn't address the challenges of the south china sea. heather, china is actually creating islands in the south china sea. and 1 million square mile system chinese sovereignty territory and that goes against the grain of freedom of navigation and freedom of the seas. that will be a much bigger issue. peter, what about the area of expertise on your part. russia is a close ally of china. and russian troops crossed the border of eastern ukraine. and now nato is confirming it is happening. what is vladimar putin up to. will he take more of that country right now? >> i hate to say this, it is a situation where russia does not have any desire to let go of its grip of eastern ukraine. they want the bumper state. and not getting what it wants out of kiev and the west is not

pushing back. europe is not willing to increase sanctions despite what we are seeing the green men on the ground and individuals in uniforms without insignia. >> he did in near georgia and done that in maldova and we are seeing the same play. this is going to, this part of ukraine may be defactor part of russia and not legal local part of russia russia will not give up eastern ukraine and not happy with kiev. >> it is a good size chunk of ukraine. peter brooks, we'll have to leave it there. this issue is not going away and putin is ambitious and paying attention to the u.s. elections and that's when he makes the move. thank you so much. >> thank you, heather. >> and a federal judge in south

carolina, striking down the same- sex marriage ban. and that pends a possible appeal. and the aclu asking the supreme court to allow gay marriage in kansas saying the delay will harm same- sex couples. kansas officials appealed and on monday, justice sonya sotemeyer put it on hold. >> police in poland are arresting hundreds of people and why it is an annual occurrence and scientist anxiously await the appearance. it could unlock the mysteries of how the unverse formed.

>> hi, everyone. i am gretchen carlson. congress is bavenlg they have interesting remarks and will they kiss and make up? it is doubtful. we'll bring you all of the fire workings. and attackers attempted to put bags on the head overseas. and airline losing luggage, that is bad enough. but what about losing your dog. you will not believe who the airline seems to be blaming. all at the top of the hour. >> independence day celebration in poland turns to chaos. the scenes from warsaw. protestors throwing rocks and firecrackers at police.

more than 200 people arrested in clashes. police had to fire a water cannon. and demonstrations by nationalist becoming a regular occurrence in recent years. >> federal investigators say the surviving pilot was thrown clear and not aware that the co-pilot had unlocked the system too early. their focus is on the unique feather breaking system that we told you about. the investigation could take a year to complete. >> speaking of space, we are waiting for the up close and personal look of a comet. the european space agency landed that probe on the comment as both hurdled through space at 41000 miles per hour.

it is a historic moment for the space exmroration. comets are a time capsule of the galaxy. and we'll talk about what is achieved with tashing malac. managing editor of space.com. it is incredible when you hear the mission. ten years in the making and they caught the comet in space and using the graveitational pull and checked out asteroids en route and landed the little thing on a moving comet. >> ten years and they have travelled and throw hundred million miles from earth. it is done with precision operation. the spacecraft is on the surface of the comet. >> one of the big concerns when they got close and looked at it, it was much, much rougher than they expected. they built a machine that could

land and handle a 30 degrees tilt. but they found the surface was covered with cracks and canyon ands boulders. >> you are right. they a ratified in the comet in august and spent the month and a half to phoned the best part to land. it is a touched down on the head of the duck. and the was there an unexpected boulder and was the ground to hard to hold on to. >> it didn't have ability to steer itself and it is unmanned craft and just sending a signal to it takes half an hour to go throw hundred million. >> they called it seven hours of terror. they cut the spacecraft loose. and it was approaching and only after it had crashed or landed,

half an hour later did we find out what happened. and it seemed to go well. >> one of the possible side-effects should we find it is heading toward earth in a trajectory to take it right to earth, they may be able to land something to blow it up or break and divert its path. nhumanity has shown with the european mission, we can approach slowly and land and watch its speed and if you take a lot of equipment ten years ahead, you know you can do it successfully. and now years ago, it would be hit with projectiles and you have a winning combination. >> cool stuff. thank you. heather? >> i love that. defending the planet. how about they can zap that out

the sky. winter arriving very early for a large portion of the united states. snow, ice, along with bone-chilling cold temperatures. what areas will be hit next. this is kathleen. setting up the perfect wedding day starts with her minor arthritis pain, and two pills. afternoon arrives and feeling good, but her knee pain returns. that's two more pills. the evening's event brings laughter, joy, and more pain. what's that, like six pills today? yeah. .i could take two aleve for all day relief. really? for my arthritis pain, i now choose aleve.

2 pills. all day strong. all day long. and now introducing, aleve pm for a better am.

a huge chunk of our country is getting an early taste of winter weather this week. this includes denver, colorado, where the highs are expected to be just 5 degrees, so let's get to our chief meteorologist rick wrightmuth who has a look at the weather today and what it's going to look like going forward. hi there. >> a lot to do with denver. yeah, incredibly cold. the lopping-term forecast doesn't hang that much overall. take a look at the high forecast. you notice the number on the right. that's as far below average you are. denver, around 54 degrees below

what you typically should be. you have broken that zero up to two degrees right now. minus 4 in casper. these temperatures are wind chill temperatures xshgs they'll continue to remain danger aresly cold. this is a night that you have to do everything that you can to stay warm. make sure you have your plans in place because it does not take much time at all to run into big problems when temperatures are like this. today around 40 degrees below average. it is coming to the east coast, and this pattern sticks with us. it looks like for another week. >>. >> let's go back to lower manhattan. it looks like a barge floating on a river. it's actually a scaffold.

a window washer scaffold. riding the scaffold up and down cleaning the glass on the big manhattan skyscrapers and other cities as well. they are stuck there. can you see that the moerts apparently have misfired. these are pictures that we understand came in from the fdny. the fire department here. they say the two men on board or two people on board this scaffold, they are safe for now. they are tethered to the scaffold, and firefighters are undertaking the job of trying to rescue them. i imagine they'll have to pull some window glass out and get the two people out of there. they are going to try to get the scaffolding secured and get the

two people on board inside and into safe safety. 69 stories up. imagine that. you can see it shaking in the wind just a little bit. 69 stories. almost 700 feet in the air. two people stuck there at one world trade center, the nation's tallest building. >> so frightening to look at, though. take a look at that. there is that shot you were talking about. to pull back and give us a little bit of a sense of perspective on just how high that is and how tall that building is, of course. you know those men or women who were up there doing that job have to be thinking about the height of that and, of course, what happened on 9/11 and people making the decision to jump down. i'm not alluding that they would be thinking of that, but just what can happen when you are that high and you have a problem. >> i flew into new york city. at 2,000 feet above sea level, i was right even with the tower on the top of that particular

building, so these people are up there a long way, and look at how that thing is tilted. i mean, even though they are secured, even though they have their harnesses on and they are apparently latched that scaffold, that scaffold is tilting very precariously. you know they've got to be feeling more than a little built uneasy. >> absolutely. of course, we just report on this. a week or two ago that the first tenant advisory started moving in that building. magazine publisher is one of the big tenant fz that building. that building is at least partially he furnished with employees. we don't know if it's on the 69th floor. i believe it was the 69th floosh. >> it's reported as the 68th or 69th floor, and when you see the way that thing is tilted, it's sort of covering both. that may be part of the discrepancy here. that is one world trade center. the freedom tower as it's sometimes also known. one world trade center. the tallest building in the

country. it stands on ground that was generally occupied by the former world trade center, although the footprints of the original towers themselves are now part of the memorial to those who died in the attacks of 9/11. right now two people, two window washers stuck on the side there. wow. there you get a good view of some of what's going on. new york city fire department on the scene. 60 firefighters there to rescue them. >> more coverage throughout the day, you can imagine, here on fox. they'll have their hands full. >> thank you for joining us. everybody. it's been a busy day, hasn't it? >> it has been. the real story with gretchen carlson starts now. >> thanks, guys. fox news alert. we're continuing the coverage right now. dramatic rescue underway at the newly opened one world trade center.

this is in downtown manhattan in new york city. take a look at your screen there. two window washers right now trapped on that scaffold that you can see on your television screen there. dangling on the side of the steep angle after some sort of a cable snapped. now, this is all unfolding on the 69th floor. apparently on the south side of one world trade center. trained members of the new york city fire department are on the scene at this time. some 60 firefighters to try and figure out how to rescue the people that are currently trapped on that piece of scaffolding. the workers are recordly strapped in safely. at least for now. luckily, the fog indicates there's not much of a breeze. as can you see, there's not much of a breeze going on. that's the good news here. rescuers reportedly plan to cut out some sort of a pane of glass to try to reach these workers. where? because as can you see from the sleek outside of this building, there are no ledges.
