racing to prevent a new terror attack are looking to muslim countries for help. official with the european undown called today for sharing intelligence that coot help track down terror cells-following a week of arrests across europe, including a raid in belgium to stop what officials called a major imminent attack. police in greece rounded up suspects over the weekend, including one they say is linked to the plot in belgium. in france military troops are still working with police to protect possible targets after the deadly attacks there. french prosecutors have said as many as six terrorists linked to the attack at "charlie hebdo" could still be on the run. and officials across europe are warning there could be even more sleeper cells out there waiting to strike. so, with all of that now the top homeland security leader in congress says the united states could also be at risk. catherine herridge is live in washington. what are we learning about the

arrests in france and a possible connection to the united states? >> well, shep, an intelligence source tells fox news into expect more arrests as investigators disemployed phones and computers and more of their contacts win the networks. the source emphasizing that command and control means operatives are tied by a terror group, given training and financing but the timing for the plot is left up to the cell. with republicans and democrats now calling for more scrutiny of high risk cases including americans that travel to syria. >> you see what is happening in europe france, belgium germany, you have to assume that's a risk we have to consider. >> these are americans who we know have been associated with these extreme groups. it's really important that our intelligence community concentrate on those who are the highest risk to the united states. >> reporter: there was a near universal cry for less intelligence collection and

sharing with other countries after the snowden leaks senator johnson, who heads up the senate homeland security committee says there now needs to be more sharing and more collection, shep. >> what more do we know about the travels of these paris suspects? >> the growing body of evidence shows the kouachi brothers brothers and amedy coulibaly knew each other socially but there's no evidence that coulibaly ever travel to syria. an intelligence fours says the americans are sharing information with the europeans and the arrest could spread into eastern europe including romania and bulgaria. a yemeni government official confirmed the two french nationals have been arrested inemn on suspicion with meeting with al qaeda in yemen, the group linked to the paris massacre and those two citizens are being detained. >> let's bring in steve palmer. former assistant deathy and counterterrorism chiefty fbi. what needs to be done that eggs

not being done? >> well, more. more needs to be done. >> more what? >> to borrow a phrase, it's not rocket science. >> more what? >> more intelligence gathering more information sharing. a sharper focus on the activities of the people involved in this from the major organizes down to smaller independent operators, just a sharper focus better sharing and more aggressive effort. that's what needs to be done, shep. it's not rocket science. >> they've already started talking a little bit about the idea of a sort of patriot act for france and for europe in general, and it's being met with a great deal of resistance and they're not for it at all. look what -- the former prime minister there from 2005 to 2007, he said there that the spiral of suspicion created in the united states by the patriot act and the enduring legitimatization of torture or illegal detention has caused that country,ing the united states to lose its moral

compass. that it don't think we're doing things well. >> certainly having greater success than they are and there are any number of reasons but part of it is the kind of effort we have made since 9/11 to make ourselves more secure, and we have accomplished that. that's not to say we're out of the woods and not to say we won't have these incidents. we have certainly done better than they have and the events playing out there clearly demonstrate that. >> we haven't had anything major here, thank inness. listening to what they're talking about over there though they're talking very much about the need to protect individual rights and liberties and freedoms but there's this widespread belief from everything i've read that we have lost some of our freedoms here unnecessarily so and because of it we lost a little bit of the soul of who we are. >> well, your people are free to draw that conclusion. i argue that's not the case. that we're still -- we try to balance the need for privacy and civil liberties and our agencies

here operate within the law. the laws are made for our protection, and we operate within those statutes and again it's worked to our benefit there has to be a balance, i absolutely agree with that. they have democratic societies we have a democratic society and you certainly want to maintain that. that's not to -- it's not either/or. there's a balance that needs to be reached, and we're trying to reach that balance here in this country. i'm sure they'll do the same. but if you give up aggressively trying to counter these people gaining intelligence and learning what they're going to do before they do it, then you wind up with a situation like you have in paris and the situation like you have in belgium, and that's not where you want to be. >> the former assistant director of the fbi and the former chief of counterterrorism sir nice to see you, thank you so much. >> yes, sir. >> cease fire now in effect in yemen where, man, yemen is a real, real mess.

>> white house officials say president obama will propose a tax hike on the richest americans use that money to help out the middle class. of course republicans are fighting the move even before president obama outlines the plan in the state of the union address. it's a call for raising the capital gains tax on couples making more than half a million does. it goes up to 28% where it was by the end of president reagan's time in office. officials say that money, plus new fees for the largest corporations, would help pay for tax breaks for the middle class. but republicans say the move would hurt the overall economic recovery by pushing small businesses -- but pin issuing small businesses and companies that create jobs. ed henry has the news from the white house. can the white house sell any of this? >> it's going to be hard because these are the same policies the president has been pushing for six years. the difference now is he has neither control of the house nor the senate. republicans in charge of the

entire congress. where his aides believe he does have some room to run, though is republicans for six years have said those policies would not work. the president's advised point out the economy is now recovering. >> now that the economy is in a stronger place than it's been in a long time weeks in to double down on efforts to deal with wage stagnation and declining economic mentality. >> reporter: the president may have a growing share of the public on his side. this latest abc news poll shows this president's approval rating climbed above 50% for the first anytime well over a year shep. giving you an idea that the recovering economy is lifting him up at least a little. >> this idea of tax increases on the wealthiest and aid for people in the middle class that's other wide lie seen as a political move to highlight the difference between the president and the republicans. >> the president's aides acknowledge in part this is part of the "state of the union."

the president is controlling the white house basically gets out there, puts his policies out there even if they're going nowhere fast. the republicans have their right to respond, and that's what they're doing very sharply today. a top 0 spokesman for speaker john boehner saying more washington tax hikes and spending is the same hold top-down approach we expect from president obama that hasn't worked. republicans are offering better solutions focused on helping small businesses grow and hire and helping families um prove their lives. that is the big problem for the president. he has made these arguments before. republicans made the same arguments before. the difference is the balance of power. president no longer in charge of either chamber. >> ed henry, thank you. one of the people on the first lady's guest list is the american contractor who endured five years in the cuban

official. alan gross. he was released in december as president obama announced the u.s. was destoring some diplomatic relations with the government. a team of democratic lawmakers is in havana right now and there's word they could with raul castro today. president obama also restored some economic ties. the new rules allow american businesses to export things like cell phones, tvs computers and software to cuba and let americans travel there for purposes including education research, even religious activities, but in truth this will eventually be, it appears, a mostly opening up of travel to cuba because the enforment of the laws will no longer be in place. cuba is about to be open. make no mistake. police arresting the teen lovers accused of going on a crime spree. next, look at the charges they could face in each state from kentucky, all the way down to florida. what were these two doing? he meat judge today and we'll

homes in grayson county kentucky, two weeks another. cops believe the boyfriend and girlfriend made stops in south carolina georgia, stealing trucks and writing bad chengs. the sheriff says the teens could face charges in multiple states. >> they were forging checks in each state. i don't think they realize when you forge a check in another state, they get charged in that state. so they could be facing charges in four different states. >> he says the boyfriend could also face charges of custodial interfering for taking the young girl away from heir family. she was 13. the girl facing charges of her own in juvenile court. unanimous young joins us now and is live, criminal defense attorney. children should not do such things. you shouldn't steal cars and write bad checks and run away from mommy when your 13 years old, but in the grand scheme of things, how much trouble could these two really be in? nobody got hurt. >> that's right, and in fact the defense attorneys are likely going to make that argument.

these are lower level felonies no one was injured or hurt or cops shot at. the defense attorney will be looking at mitigating factors how serious with the crimes. on the flipside the prosecution will argue that dalton hayes, the 18-year-old took the 13-year-old, and his criminal behavior was escalating from going on a multistate crime spree of burglarizing houses taking cars, and all of those things are really going to rise to the level of we need to make an example out of him. so it's going to be interesting how this pan out. >> there's been questions whether he knew how old she was. if he did know, then he is deal waiving 13-year-old child here, does that complicate the mess for him? >> it could. this is the thing inch most jurisdictions you don't have the mistake of age defense inch at the state of kentucky you do. so he could technically argue, well, didn't know she was 13. i south she was 19, and that's going to be dependent upon what she says, what he says, how they met, and all those different factors in terms of figuring out

the totality of the circumstances. >> they call each other boyfriend and girlfriend. if he had some sort of sexual relations with her there's another set of problems, isn't there? >> absolutely. he could be potentially looking at statutory rape. so instead of just looking at lower level felonies of theft related crimes he could be looking at statutory rape if they had sexual relations and if he is looking at statutory rape then he is looking at a possible lifetime registration as a sexual offender. so, he is looking at a whole slew o problems in adult accurate where she will be looking at juvenile court, where it's about rehabilitation as opposed to punishment. >> this case got a lot of attention. are you surprised that they found hem in a truck in panama city beach there, hanging out, it took this long? >> i'm absolutely surprised. if was thinking about that. it took two weeks, and a that's scary because he is 18 and she was 13. tenth particularly the other states have sure disk but because they waived extradition i have a feeling this will be

settled in the state of kentucky. >> makes sense. thank you. >> nice to see you, thank you. >> we're getting new insight into how the united states as able to blame north korea for the sony attack. it started with a secret move that the united states intelligence officials made not recently but five years ago. we'll explain. plus americans paid less last month for everything from furniture to electronics to cars, but the grocery store look, i probably don't have to tell you, prices are up. fox's business network's gerri willis will be in here. how come everything is going down except the stuff you need to eat.

we're now learning that u.s. officials knew north korea was to blame for the hack at sony pictures after the pentagon hacked north korea. read this late yesterday in the

"new york times" newspaper. it's reporting that the national security agency secretly installed tracking software into north korea's commuter systems in 2010. fox news can now confirm the purpose of the tracking was to gain insight into north korea's nuclear program. the spokesman for the director of national intelligence told fox news today that the u.s. intelligence community has been tracking north korean intrusions and fishing attacks on a routine basis. for more, let's bring in david sanger the national security correspondent for "the new york times" and helped break the story. fascinating to see how it was that they did -- they had to go through china. can you explain that to in the viewers? >> well, shepard, north korea does not have a whole lot of internet connections to the world. they only have 1,024 registered i. p. addresses internet

addresses. where you are in new york there are probably more than a thousand on every block that you walk past. so one thing they did was go in through the chinese connection, about if you take a look carefully at some of the snowden documents, the documents leaked by edward snowden and quickly some that were publish over the weekend by the german magazine, you'll discover there was an operation to get into north korea through south korea has early as november 20. it had been a hard target for the united states for some years. >> does your regarding give us an idea of why if we were in their systems, our government wasn't aware to inform sony of what was going down? >> there's no question we spent a lot of time on with our sources, very good question. the answer is, once you're in these systems you may be able to see things like a spear phishing

attack that like an e-mail that may be from a friend but don't click on it because it will put malware in thunder system. day were doing spear phishing attacks on sony and others, and seemed this was fairly routine stuff. nobody in the intelligence community put together that with the threats that north korea had issued about sony and about the movie, "the interview" that crude comment about an assassination plot against kim jong-un. north korea's leader. had they done so they might have thought the spear phishing might be a little more serious and had a greater intent. they didn't see the destructtive software which made the think different and destroyed computers at sony, until that happened on november 24th. >> after reading your report, i was wondering if there's been a

reaction from china. part of this is we went through china to get to north korea, and we're not supposed to do that either. >> well, the chinese know that the nsa is deeply into china. you may recall a piece that we ran just about a year ago right now about also based on snowden documents, about the u.s. effort to get at not only the north korean leadership compounds but a company that makes a lot of chinese servers. going to be news to the chinese that the u.s. is all over their networks. just as the chinese are all over ours. >> can the north koreans now block us or do we still have a look there to watch lil' kim. >> the fact of the matter is once the software is in their systems they have to fine it. i'm sure they were looking for it but they were looking for it before the story. we broke the story self years ago -- several years ago about

the worm and operational olympic games and i'm sure after the north koreans saw what the united states and israel were doing to iran they must have thought they were on the list. >> david sanger, a reporter on this story. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you shepard. >> iran's foreign minister has accused israel of committing state terrorism by launching an airstrike in syria that killed an iranian general. the militant group hezbollah reports the airstrike killed six of its fighted israel neither confirmed or denied the attack that's part of a pattern. never confirms or denies. iran is a major supporter of hezbollah, which is based in lebanon. the group has been battling alongside syria's president bash shall al-assad in that countries civil war for years. hiss he reports the attack took place yesterday. and it's interesting because hezbollah's leader is mass recall la and he said all along

we have no fighters in that region. they do not exist. and now this. today hezbollah held a funeral for one victim, reportedly a prominent fighter. thousands of supporters turn out for the event-chanting "death too israel." officials in tehran say that iranian general had been in syria, giving quote crucial advice to president assad's forces. secret service agents have ramped up security around vice-president joe biden's home in delware after somebody fired off shots from a vehicle speeding outside his property. happened on saturday night in wilmington. cops say the vice-president and his wife were nowhere near there. officials set up a security checkpoint just 30 minutes of the shooting police arrested one guy who tried to drive right by an officer at the checkpoint. the cops now say they don't think the driver was involved in the shooting. we're live in wilmington near the vice-president's home. there is more to this or just a weird thing?

>> reporter: shep, right now it feels like things are getting back to normal here. this is back to being a quiet neighborhood barley mill road the vice-president's street is back to just being long and winding and unremarkable except for the secret service guard outpost just a few hundred yards hen me and that's the same guard shack on saturday night where agents say they heard multiple gunshots and saw a car racing away for parts unknown. when it went down a perimeter was set up, the street was closed, mean something residents couldn't get to their kids at movie theaters and things like that. but the road opened up at midnight yesterday and today no sign of the chaos of saturday night and sunday morning while the vice-president and dr. biden were out to dinner. >> have the firth what it was about. >> the secret service would not confirm to us.

base cliff they say they don't know if the shots were fired in the direction of the biden house or not. and that is on the top of the list of things we do not know. still no word on suspects no word on what kind of car somebody was driving no lead no evidence, and standing here you get a sense the priority of law enforcement i just protecting the biden property and keeping curious people away. we have not seen much police activity away from the vp's driveway. nobody poking front lawns, looking for shell casings, haven't heard anything bat weapon released to the media. nothing gained from interviewing neighbors are residents say they heard between four and seven shots but none of those rounds have been recovered in any biden-owned buildings, and remember, the biden house where they live and sleep is actually set a few hundred yards back from the road. it is hidden by a thick tree and brush cover, and the vice-president had a chance to talk about this is the morning

during some remarks at a martin luther king day breakfast and he passed. we don't know what he thinks about all this. >> some whacky person driving down the reed. thank you, sir. the former korean air executive who held up a flight over macadamia nuts pleaded not get. the charges, violating aviation safety law and hindering a government investigation. as we reported here, she happens to be the dare of the airline's chairman. prosecutor says last month she forced a plane to return to the gate in new york after a senior flight attendant served her a bag of nuts instead of a plate of nuts. she threw a fit over the ordeal. her attorney says the former executive has not been able to mentally recover after the media beat her up. if the court convicts her, she could get up to 15 years behind bars. new government report show we're paying more for food to grocery store even though the
