12:00 pm
hope you had a texas weekend, and your week is off to a great start. now we'll turn it over next door to shep. >> man sacrificed his own gas mask to save his younger brother. but the heroic act could come too late. now the feds are trying to find out how both of them died in a chemical plant disaster. also, president obama says he had a blunt discussion with the russian leader, vladimir putin, as putin warns that pro-russian rebels in ukraine are not going away. now the ukrainian government reports it's ready for a, quote, full scale war. every worry that friending your boss on facebook could end in embarrassment? there's word facebook is about to become a little more office-friendly. safe for work. let's get to it. good monday afternoon to you and yours from the deck. first today, we're waiting to hear from the family of the
12:01 pm
islamic state's latest victim. he is an american army veteran, an aide worker and terrorist recorded his execution for the world to see. at this moment his family is getting ready to speak and for the first time since the white house confirmed the death, peter kassig went to sierra to help the wounded. he changed his name after converting to islam, and his parents are asking people to use his new name, abdul-raw man kassig. the video showed his claimed to be severed head. the fifth isis video showing a murdered western hostage. but this video is unlike we have seen. it's around 16 minutes, vast difference from the rest. the production quality is not professional looking like the other, with graphics, music, and sound, also, frankly, the most gruesome so far according to
12:02 pm
those who have not seen it. i don't watch these things. it shows militants slaughtering syrians one by one, carving off their heads. the video takes a different tone and gives a history of the islamic state, the group and its leader, abu bakr al-baghdadi. the video even tries to link baghdadi to other western enemies named osama bin laden. so, catherine herridge is life in washington. have investigators identified any killers? >> after a review by the french intelligence services a 22-year-old french national has been identified with what the intelligence community called a high degree of confidence that he is one of the executioners. french authorities believe maxine, wearing military fatigues, is one of the men seen lining up syrians before beheading them. he left for syria last year, saying he wanted to become a
12:03 pm
martyr for isis. british authorities are also investigating whether a former medical student from wales, just 20 years old, also takes part in the mass execution. while initially saying it could be his son, his father now tells reporters he isn't so sure. kassig is the fifth western hostage and now the third american to be decapitated by the group. >> they've all been among those brutally murdered, and as those who have escaped dramatically testified, women and girls are sold into slavery, threatened, raped, and treated like chattel. >> today the indiana governor is asking that the flags be flown at half staff in his memory. >> i'm missing the differences between this video and others. looks like it's shot in a different place, questions about whether it was maybe shot on a green screen. what is your intelligence sources saying? >> we're not showing the video, shep, for obvious reasons, but an investigative source tells fox news the mass execution was
12:04 pm
carefully core graphed using multiple camera angles and there appear to be some sequences that were even shot twice. the syrian military officers and pilots do not flinch as the walk bare foot over the rough ground nor look side to side, and our contact says all of this is evidence that the men were heavily sedated before they met their deaths. the united states is about to step up its training of iraqi troops in the fight against isis. that according to the defense secretary chuck hagel. the pentagon spokesman says the united states will speed up the training timeline in hopes that countries will also send trainers to iraq. let's bring in retired lieutenant general damage bulger to join us. nice to see you. thank you. these things sound like good ideas but i steam remember we spent billions and billions and billions of dollars and ten years training the iraqi military the last time around
12:05 pm
and they just threw their stuff we gave them at the people who want us dead. what aring we go to accomplish here? >> what we got accomplish is get the iraqis in the lead fighting. isis is a problem for the iraqi and they got to take the had to do it. we can talk about accelerating training. you can teach a guy how to fire a rifle faster, but training leaders and sergeants and officers, that takes decades, and so we have to be serious. this is not going to be a quick war. >> the thing is, though, one side has the motivation that galled told them to do it. the other side has to the motivation of a country and they don't think in a nationaliic way in the way that we do. they think more in sectarian and religious divides. i don't know what we think we can do? i don't understand how we can make them want to love iraq in a big way that they don't. >> well, shep, your raise a really important point there. one thing we can do with our training and with the example of
12:06 pm
our advisers the they great work done by the air force is give them enough back bop and fire power to show them they can they can these guys on. isis is great at slaughtering isn't people or cutting head off. they don't well in standup fights. we went against these guys from '03 and '11 and cleaned their clocks. >> sure, our military can clean anybody's clock. is it a suggestion we need get our military in there on theground? field like that's what our leaders pushing us towards. you get the feeling. >> i know. we got avoid that. that's an easy solution but doesn't work. you're exactly right. that's what we learned. what about got to do -- that's why i think secretary hagel is right on task, tulane these guys push them through tough training-help them with the things they're not good at, air force stub, where we can help, and accept the fact that it's going be a long struggle, and as you said, work on their motivation, teach them they can win against these guys and then
12:07 pm
we'll see how this goes. i think it gives us a chance. >> didn't we do all of those things? i'm asking for your expertise on this matter, not being snotty, didn't we do those things for ten years? >> you know, we did. it was eight years in iraq. the other thing i should mention, shep, we always expected that our forces to some degree would be alongside them. they weren't built to go without training wheels, if you will. they were built to fight alongside american forces. when we didn't leave much of a residual force there, they were on their own and weren't ready, we saw the results. >> you're talking about american boots on the ground for 20, 30, 40 years. >> that's exactly right, shep. doesn't have to be a large number, but what we saw in korea after the korean war, our folks are still there. but i will also say that the south korean armis excellent and they can defend they're own country now. that's what it takes, a long effort. >> i want to know where the rest of the world is. this is a world problem. nobody is helping to pay for
12:08 pm
this, iraqis aren't, nobody seems into this. we recognize there's a problem that if we -- we seem to think if we let it fester and grow it will ruin the whole world. but where is the rest of the world on this? and is it possible that the better thing to do is let them do their thing and protect ourselves and stay out of their mess. >> we absolutely always have to put that on the table as one idea. does it make sense not to get involved? the rest of the world, canadians, british, the united arab emirates, jordannans, there are other countries involved in this and they are stepping up. they aren't as capable as us militarily. we have the best young men and women, greatest equipment, great support from our population, but they're going bring what they can to and it you're right. it's world problem, and the key thing is keep them over there. keep them busy. kill them. do whatever we can with the help of the iraqis, but keep them over there. we don't want them in the u.s. >> sir, mighty good to see you, i really do appreciate it. you have to wonder if at some
12:09 pm
point we shouldn't have had national conversation whether we ought to be doing this in the doing is productive or cows productive. the state department is joining the white house, the postal service and the national weather service as targets in hack attacks and now the state depth shut down the entire unclassified e-mail system. that's an unprecedented move. this hacking reportedly happened back in october. state department official says they have no reason to think that the hackers got any classified information. why don't they have any reason to think that? don't know. but there is no word yet on who was behind it. officials have blamed previous attacks on the russians russiand chinese. that state depth rep says technicians are repairing any possible damage from the attack during an already scheduled shutdown. they're also working to improve security, which probably is a very good idea. when poison gas started leaking at chemical plant in texas, all one man was able to do really was save his little
12:10 pm
brother, and his coworkers. relatives say that man rushed into this room, disregarded his own safety, and died doing so, and now a family has to bury two brothers. the feds are investigating what went wrong there and we'll have part of that investigation. as the news rolls on this monday afternoon. mama sherman and the legion of super fans never fail to get richard sherman his campbell's chunky chicken noodle soup. mmmm. looks good. hahaha! chunky chicken noodle now tastes even better!
12:11 pm
12:12 pm
>> a worker at a check cat plant tried to save his own brow from a poisonous gas leak but the
12:13 pm
fumes killed both men before they could escape, according to their relatives. the older brother on the left here grabbed a gas mask and rushed in to help save coworkers and once he got inside he took off his mask and tried to put it on his younger brother but it was too late. two other workers also died. this all happened on saturday morning, early, at a plant owned by dupont, one of the world's largest chemical manufacturers. it's located 30 minutes east of houston. officials say one of the valves started to leak. a poise sobbous gas that gives off the stench of rotten eggs. they put this smell into the gas so that you know it's happening. without the smell of the rotten eggs added to the gas, people wouldn't know it was happening. so that's their trigger. when this first was smelled that's when the realized they had an enormous problem. so this odor has filled the whole place and coworkers are in jeopardy. federal investigators are trying
12:14 pm
to fight out how it happened. there's theories when the man took off his mask did he inhale some gas and had his brother already inhaled so much of the gas before he was able to put the mask on, that's the reason the two of them died? its uncertain but it's part of the investigation and we'll get more from our dallas bureau when they have more on what went wrong. ly. a warning for parents now. new research shows that energy drinks have led to some dangerously and potentially deadly side effects for thousands of children over the past few years. researchers say the side effects include dangerously high blood pressure, seizures and liver damage. those scientist roar vealing their findings today at an american hart association meeting. doctors say nearly half of all adolescents and young adults in america consume energy drinks. it's a multibillion dollar industry. analysts say they expect sales to grow from $12.5 billion in 2012, to $21.5 billion in 2017.
12:15 pm
a spokesman for the american beverage association, which represents energy drinks, including red bull and monster, tells fox news, and i quote, leading energy drink makers voluntarily place advisory statements on energy drink packaging stating they're not recommended for children. they also have voluntarily pledged not market those products to children. and they will not sell them in k through 12 schools. so that is the report on the energy drinks. >> i want to go back to the texas chemical plant. i was going to toss to casey seeing until our dallas bureau but something happened to our signal and the second before i was going to do that. so we have him on the phone. it's important knopf we get the new information that he has. there's an investigation now of how these two men died, casey, what have you learned? >> an investigation into what went wrong, what caused the deadly gas to leak. the plant is huge, employs 320
12:16 pm
people. spanning about 800 acres or so in a suburb of houston. it's happened in what's known as the crop protection unit at this dupont chemical plant. we toward is in chemical. neglectingmer cap tan, is only used in that part of the facility as feed stock for farming insecticides. reports don't know what caused the valve to fail but the employees' preparedness was not enough to save them. listen. >> have to demonstrate you know -- you work with other people so it's not only book training and learning the processes but you have to also demonstrat the knowledge before you can work at a unit. so, the operators were doing the jobs they know how to do. >> again, four people dead, including two brothers. a fifth victim did survive, and remains in the hospital right now, shep. >> casey live in dallas. thanks.
12:17 pm
there's new study on energy drinks that we had just a second ago. now we have someone here to talk about that because we're doing half a story now and half a story later. the energy drink thing was interesting. energy drinks. right? i'm curious about what you are supposed to do? what are you supposed to do? just not drink them? is that the best course of action here? >> some people say that. >> it's not like they're good for you, are they? >> i don't think that is pulling these kind of products off the market would be helpful. i think probably be an uproar from the people who want them and use them. it think the most important thing here is to take advantage of this opportunity to educate everybody about the pros and covens having these drinks, particularly with children. >> doctors rosy is with us. forgive me for not introducing you. they give you a boost but there are other ways to get boosts. >> yes. >> why not have a coffee or something.
12:18 pm
>> well -- >> says guy who is guilty of drinking an occasional red bull. go an. >> the main issue is not whether you should have a cup kofi fee versus one of the drinks. think it's more important to know what is in the drinks. these drinks are manufactured and market two different ways, either as a beverage or as a diet -- dietary supplement and those the beverage me a contain the same doses of caffeine that might be bad for some people, they're required to list what they have. the problem comes when you have unregulated marketing of these, and the other issue is additives. now, some of the most basic energy drinks may have, let's say, caffeine and sugar, which have issues related to them used in toxic doses, of course. and causing arrhythmia and such. but additives themselves can cause major issues in fact, and even -- these additives don't add anything to the drink. not been proven that having thed
12:19 pm
a dislike ginseng or amean knee acid would be better for you than having the drink itself. i think the things to consider is the amount of caffeine no these drinks. is it truly reflective of how much consecutive find is in them? additives can have caffeine themself chins untally on the label. the other thing is to know the side effects. first, gorana is a naturally occurring form of caffeine, has twice as much caffeine in them as coffee beans, and some of the other components in gorama including the of lynn. -- it's drug used for asthma but the second effects of that -- a well-known medical product -- can cause seizures and heart arrhythmia. >> if think if you have children, you should keep the drinks out of their hands. keep the weed out of children.
12:20 pm
don't let them have that. nose to see you. we'll be right back. ght, so thil arthritis lasts 8 hours

>> winter storm system makingsing its athrough the country, bringing snow and record lows. not evening thanksgiving yet, obviously. take a look at this. officials shut down parts of a major highway in indianapolis after ice sent more than a dozen cars sliding, including a truck. no reports of anybody seriously heart. forecasters say parts of the ohio valley could get up to four inches on snow and this week some spots in upstate new york could get three feet of snow. i can. places not to visit. janice dean, the weather machine, live in the weather
12:24 pm
center. three feet. that's a lot in february. >> that's the lake-effect snow belt. even for them, to get three feet of snow in november, it's pretty incredible. but let's talk about the possibility of breaking records tonight and wednesday night. there's the freeze advisories in louisiana, mississippi, alabama, florida panhandle, the carolinas. these are standing records but we could tie records or break them. tallahassee, mobile, charlotte, going down to around 22 overnight tonight. and again, we could break these records that were set around 1951. your lows tonight, across the upper midwest, but down south, that's where we are really concerned. 26 in d.c. then for wednesday night, 22 in new york. 18 in buffalo, 12 in minneapolis. this is early. this is typically what we sunny january, not november. >> i'm told there could be some
12:25 pm
almost spring-like severe weather today. >> we have seen it already. several tornado warnings earlier on in florida. we have tornado watches in effect because we have that cold front that is moving through, and ahead of it warm unstable air in some cases we're dealing with 60s and 70s for florida so tornado watch in effect for central florida, towards the carolinas. thankfully no tornado warnings but we did today. so we'll still watch that. the latest tornado watch good until 6:00 p.m. local time. severe thunderstorm watch north and east of tampa, and a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of long island. so watching this over the next several hours, the snow is going to continue for the ohio valley and upstate new york and new england. mainly a chilly rain event along i-95. once the cold front moves in, that's when we'll see the incredible epic lake-effect snow for the areas. tug hill plateau south of buffalo, could easily get over three feet of snow.
12:26 pm
back to you. >> you, this pore tends nothing for the future. >> five days in advance i don't like to forecast but i blame it on the retailers. the christmas music around halloween, it their fault. >> all right, janice. i got to admit i heard some christmas music in a store over the weekend, i was -- initially was angry but then, i love christmas. it's going to be great. >> i think it's fine just before thanks but halloween? >> too early. too much candy. thank you, j.d. >> love you. >> vladimir putin says, peace is still possible in ukraine. gee, vladimir, you think? get out of there. it would be peaceful the ukrainian president says his forces are getting ready for an all-out war. we'll speak the former ambassador to ukraine in a matter of moments, we're expecting to hear from the

>> i've been explaining to you today the parents, the father and power of abdul-rahman kassig, the american who was killed by the islamic state, will hold a live news conference this afternoon. they walked out to the podium and are beginning. let's listen. >> good afternoon. greater love hath no man than this, than to lay down his life for another. a while ago we were informed our beloved son, abdul-rahman, no longer walks this earth.
12:33 pm
our hearts still heavy are held up by the love and support that has poured into our lives these last few days. >> one of abdul-rahman's teacher, the mother of some of his friends, wrote before his slaying, if a person can be both a realist and an idealist, then that's peter. peter has earned the right to be both. in 26 years he has witnessed and experienced first hand more of the harsh realities of life than most of us can imagine. but rather than letting the darkness overwhelm him, he has chosen to believe in the good in himself and in others. peter's life is evidence that he has been right all along. one person makes a difference. our hearts are battered but they will mend.
12:34 pm
the world is broken, but it will be healed in the end. and good will prevail as the one god of many names will prevail. >> please pray for abdul rawman, or pete, if that's how you know him. at sunset this evening. pray also for all people in syria, in iraq, and around the world, that are hell against their will -- held against their will, and lastly, please allow our small family the time and privacy to mourn, cry, and, yes, forgive, and begin to heal. thank you very much. >> the parents there of abdul-rahman kassig, speaking for the first time, and very bravely, wouldn't you say. they have said -- in paper statement their son lost his life as a result of his love for
12:35 pm
the syrian people and his desire to ease the suffering. i heard it described earlier today in this way. that he had made the decision he was going to have to do one of two things. he either going to have to another young guy with a gun or have to try to help the people who are in the middle of the struggle with certainly none of white house haven't been there can understand. and he chose the latter. and then the islamic state made the decision to murder him, to decapitate him to let his parents see it, and in doing so his parents have said, they hurt one of their own. and what he had wanted to do was try to help people and this is what it got. so there were many questions. couldn't it have served thirst case better to have spared them because of the fact he was there helping muslims? and the answer, of course, from the islamic state is, absolutely not. they want the united states military to come in and fight them. each of their leaders has said it. each and every time. they want american troops on the
12:36 pm
ground. so that they can kill american troops. the question down the road is, will we send in american troops as the islamic state wants? abdul-rahman kassig, and his parents saying their hearts will mend. ukraine's government is preparing for a full-out war of its own as heavy fighting rages near the country's board with russia. according to ukraine's president. explosion explosion. [explosion] >> newly released video show ukrainian soldiers run for cover while battling rebels over the weekend. it's one of the militants' main strongholds in the east of ukraine. hours ago the ukrainian president closed government offices in the region, including banking services. nato official says russia recently sent even more troops
12:37 pm
and military equipment across the border. the russian president, putin, says moss sow will not let ukraine defeet the rebels but claims space is still possible. the russian president left the g20 economic summit early after western leaders blasted him for supporting the militants holm said he had a long flight home and needed some sleep. russia had sent along four warships before president putin's trip. officials say the ships could provide some extra security if he needed it. president obama says he met with president putin during the summit and the discussion was, quote, business like and blunt, unquote. the u.s. and the european union already slapped russia with a series of financial punishments and the unites nations officials estimate 4,000 people have died in it. william taylor serve as the united states ambassador to ukraine from 2006 to 2009. now acting president at the united states institute for peace.
12:38 pm
nice to see you again. is war imminent? >> ukrainians have to prepare for it. the russians have dem moon straighted that they -- demonstrated they will invade their neighbors. they invaded crimea with the same tactics, sending troops across the border and then afflecked, illegally afflecked part of ukraine, and they're doing the same thing now. sending troops and weapons and heavy equipment into that part of ukraine so the ukrainian government does need to prepare for war. >> i've heard you say before they can't belt the russians. >> they can't. the russian military is much larger, much better equipped than the ukraine military. the air ukraine military needs to and can defend itself and can push back on the russians and make it costly for the russians. m-putin is very worried that russian mothers, the mothers of his soldiers, will not stand for big casualties in ukraine. they don't support a war against ukraine. so, mr. putin is on dangerous
12:39 pm
ground here. >> what can the world do? >> the world can do two things. they can support ukraine in its effort to develop its own economy. for that it's going to need a lot of economic and financial support. but number two, the west can provide ukraine with defensive weapons, so that, again, it can make it very painful for the russians if they were to invade. >> has the united states and have other western nations helped ukraine in the way the ukrainian government says it needs the help, and if not? >> we have not provided them lee that defendant service weapons. >> why not what's our reason? >> i'm not sure there's a good reason. the reason that some have provided is that we don't want to provoke the russians. well, the russians have been provoked. the russians are already invading ukraine. so to provide weapons to ukraine so they can defend themselves and make it painful for the russians, seems to me to be a good policy. >> you know what doesn't make
12:40 pm
sense to me -- the two things are not related, but we give weapons regularly to people we used to hate, who then give those weapons to people who kill us with them, and yet the ukrainians, who are just sitting ducks from the bully across the sea there, we don't give them anything. that is messed up. >> that is messed up. that is exactly right. what needs to happen is the west, indeed nato and the united states, needs to provide these weapons so that the ukrainians can defend themselves. they have not asked for troops have not asked nato to send forces in. they asked for the ability to defend themselves. >> putin just want this old soviet union to come back together. i watched him take crime yeah. was there he just took it. then the shot a jet out of the sky and child 300 people, and the world just went, eh, some sanctions. has anyone been able to complain
12:41 pm
it to you? >> no they're not been able to explain it. the sanks have begun tote. the rube rube bell is -- the ruble is in free fall, and they can't borrow from. western banks. the oil price is dropping that squeezes russians even more. so there's a big incentive for him to back off, and to try to resolve this thing without that invasion. >> hope the does. ambassador taylor, good to see you again. the feds paid a surprise visit to a few nfl teams yesterday. in what they call -- what one attorney calls an unprecedented raid on a professional sports league. part of an investigation into whether the teams violate prescription drug laws. the agents checked three teams, the 49ers, -- what a game --
12:42 pm
tampa bay and the seattle seahawks, each time was on the road. a sometimes for the dea say the inspecifics focused on prescription pain killers and whether team doctors and trainers could practice medicine in the opponent's state. jonathan hunt is with us now. sounds to me like they were alleging maybe trainers were handing out unprescribed pills to people to make the pain good away during the game. we have heard about that for tech dades. >> all stems from a lawsuit filed by 1300 former nfl players, shep, who essentially they teams were handing out pain killers like candy, just to get the players become on the field. his is fox sport's jim gray. >> they believe they're giving guys these pain killers and medications and it doesn't transfer through state lines, they're not filling out the bottles-not giving them the labels, not telling them of the warnings and risks. >> so those claims in the lawsuit got the interest of dea
12:43 pm
agents and teams like the san francisco 49ers, who were playing the giants, faced bag searches and questioning of team doctors no word from the dea on why any of these particular teams were targeted. >> what about charges? are there any? >> none as yet. the nfl acknowledges the searches took place but says, quote no irregularities were found. tampa bay buccaneers were another team that were targeted for inspection yesterday. they later tweeted via their p.r. team, quote, authorities checked in with our travel party at the airport and after a delay we proceeded on to our plane without incident. so no charges of any sort yet, shep. we don't know where this goes next. is this the beginning of a much wider ranging investigation? or the dea agents just sending a a powerful message, stop messing with the pain killers. >> giant fans need the pain kalers. >> so do redskins fans.
12:44 pm
