brady and belichick. zero tolerance. no draft picks. what is next? ignore doping? martha: douglas says move on. we make too much of small issues these days. bill: might be run for a while. martha: 4:00. be there or be square bye-bye everybody. the. jenna: new reports today of a meeting between two gop heavyweights which big implications for 2016. welcome to "happening now," everybody, i'm jenna lee. jon: wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall of that one. i'm jon scott. former governors mitt romney and jeb bush will meet secretly in utah this week. the meeting was set before mitt romney hinted he is considering a third bed for president. the democrats may see a clash between establishment candidates in 2016. vice president joe biden

yesterday saying there is a chance he will challenge potential frontrunner hillary clinton for a white house run. for more let's bring in bob cusack editor-in-chief of "the hill." let's start with that democratic possibility. pretty tantalizing that the vice president wants to take on the former first lady, former senator, former secretary of state. >> yeah, it is fascinating, jon. it would be a major showdown between obama's secretary of state, former and his sitting vice president. of course biden is keeping his options open. he is getting ready to run but will he actually run? if you look at the polls hillary clinton really way ahead of him in the polls and, he didn't do well the last time he ran for president. got out of the race after iowa. was picked as vice president later on. so he has got a big decision. can he raise the money to compete with the hillary clinton? that remains to be seen. remember a couple of obama's people like jim messina, they

have sided with hillary clinton. so i don't think biden's running but at the same time he is not ruling it out, jon. jon: he is fame must for well, putting his foot in his mouth from time to time. he said something that has caught a lot of people maybe off-guard. i want to play this for you, get your take on it. all right, i thought, i thought we had the sound of vice president biden saying that isis, the islamic state is gaining ground in syria because there are no boots on the ground. it almost seemed to suggest that we need more boots there. we need to go back in there with active military forces. what is he trying to say there? >> well this is interesting, because he is a former chairman of the senate foreign relations committee and he was very much in favor of the iraq war. that hurt him when he ran for president in 2008 and maybe this is a bit of distancing himself from the administration. certainly he has got his future

to think about. and that is something that president obama, as you know jon, said repeatedly no boots on the ground. we can do it from the air. that is something critics said is not possible. jon: where is president obama, where does he lend his considerable weight if both of these prominent democrats decide to run for president? i mean mr. obama has said time and time again you know that he never makes a big decision without joe biden at his side et cetera, et cetera. where does the presidential endorsement go? >> there won't be one. it is an awkward position for the president, no doubt about it. he has been asked about it. he said nice things about hillary clinton. he will not choose between biden and hillary clinton. i think, if one were in the race, maybe he would say some very nice things about that one. but if both get i don't think he is going to choose but he will be asked a lot about that over the next year. jon: let's get to the republican side. this meeting between jeb bush

and mitt romney, apparently jeb bush es a people say this was scheduled months ago but it has taken on new prominence with mitt romney suddenly hinting he might be interested in another run for president. jeb bush obviously is saying the same thing. so what takes place at a meeting like this? >> a lot of awkwardness, jon. this will be, you have two establishment candidates basically. they're jockeying to get the backing of washington, the backing of "the kingmakers" in essence. they're also jockeying for donors. i think jeb bush definitely runs. he certainly surprised a lot of people by forming an exploratory committee. doesn't mean he definitely is in. i think jeb bush runs. romney i'm not so sure. certainly he is looking at it. based on reaction he got from the power brokers in the republican party it has been lukewarm at best. i talked to members of congress. they're not excited about a third possible mitt romney run of does he get in? maybe but based upon the reaction it hasn't been good but i think it would be smart for

bush to form an alliance with romney because we're going to see this battle between establishment republicans like jeb bush and mitt romney against the tea party. tea party, not a big fan of jeb bush. jon: it would be traditional i guess for perspective candidate to go visit the nominee from the last time around, presumably that is what jeb bush thought he was doing when this meeting was set up but does he go in there and say mitt, please don't run? >> i think it might be more subtle than that and as you mentioned this meeting was set before romney indicated he wanted to be president and might run in 2016. i think it would be bad headlines for this meeting to have been canceled. they have got to move forward with it. i think they will exchange some pleasantries. whether they get down and dirty, talk about politics or forming an alliance are you going to run? i don't think so. they're potential adversaries.

both men could be on the stage in a debate so i don't think they want to show too much of their hand. jon: fascinating. bob cusack, editor-in-chief at hill. bob, thank you. >> thanks, jon. jenna: to the war on terror. secretary of state john kerry in london co-hosting what is being called the counterisis coalition small group meeting. this comes after the islamic attack in france and anti-terror raids across europe. senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot with the latest from our london bureau. >> reporter: jenna, this meeting in london was planned before those attacks and raids we followed so closely but certainly makes the meeting all the more timely. secretary of state kerry joining with his british counterpart hosting this meeting with foreign minters what they call a core group of countries doing battle with isis right now in iraq and syria. the aim of the session, for example, a thousand airstrikes what needs to be done in john kerry's words, a lot. here is a bit more what he had

to say. >> we have gone from zero at the end of september to now in january in our fourth month having stopped isil's advance in iraq having negated their resources, their capacity to move foreign fighters. to a significant degree and changed their operations as a result of what we've been able to do. we still have a lot of work to do. >> reporter: sorry. a good example of the success of the campaign that syrian border town of kobani, when we were reporting there back in october, it was about ready to fall to isis. now our best contact said 80% run bit kurds as well as thousand isis fighters killed. over in iraq just yesterday reports that the kurdish peshmerga backed by u.s.-led airstrikes disrupted the isis supply line. still isis hold as lot of territory in iraq and syria and

has big implements worldwide. the gunmen allegedly responsible for the deadly shooting at kosher supermarket claimed ties to isis. there were ties to isis among the terror suspects in the belgium raids. figuring out a way to disrupt the flow of isis fighters on the field back home including the united states is crucial to this meeting. crucial from this meeting to stop isis from taking more hostages. two japanese now face a very public execution. back to you. jenna: greg, thank you. jon: heavily-armed shiite rebels not leaving their posts outside of the presidential palace in yemen, this even after the group reached a deal yesterday for better governmental representation. after heading the president a u.s. ally, captive for days. a move showing just how far they are willing to go to get what they want. national security correspondent jennifer griffin live at the pentagon with the latest. jennifer, i'm sure they're keeping a very close eye on the situation in yemen there?

>> reporter: that's right, jon. the u.s. military is standing by in case an evacuation of the u.s. embassy is still needed. there is a company of marines in yemen prepared to protect the embassy and carry out an evacuation order if needed. meantime the troops announced yesterday through yemen's state-run press appears to be tentative at best. iranian backed shiite militants as you mentioned are still surrounding the president's residence and have not pulled out of the presidential palace which was part of the deal. what looked like a coup earlier this week is far from resolved, keeping u.s. officials on edge as an important ally in the fight against al qaeda in yemen may be on the verge of losing power. yemen is important also in terms of the president's attempts to close guantanamo bay. 47 of the 54 gitmo detainees approved from transfer are from yemen. there was a ban on transferring gitmo detainees in 2010 after the underwear bomber was sent

from there. during the state. union president obama doubled down on his desires to close gitmo even though nearly 2/3 of the remaining 122 detainees are yemen my. -- yemeni. >> since i've been president we worked responsibly to cut the population of gitmo in half. now it is time to finish the job and i will not relent in my determination to shut it down. it is not who we are. >> reporter: u.s. officials say for now with the uncertainty in yemen they do not plan to transfer any prisoners there but they can not rule out sending yemen any detainees from guantanamo bay to a third party country like the five they transferred last week, jon. jon: what a story. jennifer griffin at the pentagon. thank you. jenna: turn back to a story that's big here at home. some new information that could bring an end to the controversial investigation of officer darren wilson. he of course has been named in the death of 18-year-old michael brown. a u.s. official confirming to fox news the justice department is unlikely to move forward with

civil rights charges against wilson. garrett tenney live in chicago with the details for us now. garrett? >> reporter: jenna that u.s. official also tells us that prosecutors are unlikely to file any charges against officer wilson after the fbi's investigation found no evidence to support that. the deet of justice isn't commenting on the case but this is the outcome wilson's attorneys and others have been expecting since a st. louis grand jury chose not to indict him in november. the legal standard to bring federal civil rights charges is extremely high. the prosecutors would need to prove the officer willfully and intentionally deprived michael brown of his civil rights when he shot him. in a statement the brown's family attorney says they won't be make any statements until an official announcement is made. that is expected to happen sometime in the next couple of months before attorney general eric holder leaves office. separate from the civil rights case is another ongoing investigation by the justice department. this one looking into the

practices of the ferguson police department in any potential racial bias that may exist there. that case could lead to changes into how the local police department operates in the community. jenna? jenna: garrett, thank you. jon: well nobody likes to get dumped but after a woman's two-week relationship fell apart, hear what police say she did that earned her a trip to jail. plus the head coach for the new england patriots now offering his side of the story as the league investigates deflate-gate. we want to hear from you. would you rather see mitt romney or jeb bush run for president in 2016 on the republican side? our live chat up and running. go to foxnews.com/happeningnow. click on "america's asking" and get into the conversation.

jon: right now new information on several crime stories we're following. potential jurors in colorado's movie theater massacre trial coming up with reasons not to

serve. the pool began with 9,000 people ready to determine whether james holmes is insane. the judge already excused at least 20 people with doctors notes. those who don't speak english or don't live in that particular county. attorneys for marcus karma asking for a new trial or a lesser conviction after karma shot and killed an exchange student in his montana garage. they say they didn't get a fair trial because of media coverage. karma set to be sentenced next month. a florida woman got a trip to yale after sending her ex a text message threatening to beat him up. the 21-year-old dated the guy for two weeks before he dumped her. >> can tell you that in my entire coaching career i have never talked to any player staff member about football air

pressure. that is not a subject that i have ever brought up. >> that is new england patriots belichick denying any knowledge of underinflated footballs used during hess team's playoff game with the colts. that blowout win sent his team to the super bowl. the nfl is investigating as we week speak. jonathan hunt has the latest. >> what an interesting news conference. bill belichick has always been known for terse answers at his news conferences but at initially he talked at length determined to make it clear he had nothing to do with tampering the with air pressure in any of the footballs used in sunday's victory over the colts and no idea if it happened, how it happened. >> i have no knowledge whatsoever of the situation until monday morning. i learned a lot more about this process in the last three days than i knew or had talked about it in the last 40 years that i coached in this league.

>> reporter: and he reiterated that the patriots are cooperating fully with the nfl's investigation. >> i have no explanation for what happened and that's what they're looking into. so i can't comment on what they're doing. that's something that you should talk to them about. >> reporter: now belichick said his quarterback tom brady, like every quarterback has personal preferences over the feel of the footballs throws. that effectively puts a lot more pressure on brady to answer questions about what happened sunday. did know the footballs were underinflated? did he request that they be underinflated? did he have no idea at all? we're now told we will hear from brady at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon. the nfl investigation meanwhile is continuing with commissioner roger goodell under pressure at the end of a scandal-tainted season. there is no doubt that the nfl would like to get this wrapped

up this week so the focus can switch purely to the football side of the super bowl. but it looks like this controversy will taint the entire lead up to the big game just as some believe it already tainted the legacy of bowlly chick, brady and the entire patriots organization. but what a news conference at 4:00 when we hear from brady. a lot of people think he must have known something because they touch a lot of footballs every day. jenna: so do the referees right? they also touch the football every play. you would imagine if someone felt something off they would have said something. >> reporter: a whole lot of questions about this people in boston say, in the end cheating is cheating, if they did, wouldn't change the game but it is still cheating. >> still impactful. jonathan, a big story today, that's for sure. we'll of course watching east coast time. thank you very much. >> reporter: sure. jon: stepping up the hunt for an arsonist. investigators say they have video of someone they want to talk to in this massive los angeles fire. now the reward fund is growing.

plus, how does the instability in yemen after feint the u.s. strategy for fighting terror? how al qaeda might take advantage of the chaos there to plot against american citizens.

jon: new information on a massive arson case in los angeles. city officials ramping up efforts to find whoever started this fire. it destroyed much of a huge apartment complex. caused more than $25 million in damage. investigators say this fire was deliberately set. they're still looking to talk to the people captured on surveillance video seen walking near the area around near the time the fire started. >> today we are announcing plans to ramp up the efforts to get to the bottom of what caused this

fire. yesterday in the los angeles city council i introduce ad motion at the request of the los angeles fire department to request a reward of $75,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the fire. jon: the complex's owner is making, matching that reward, plus 20,000 from the atf. that make as total of $170,000 available for information that leads to an arrest. >> now to one of our big stories today. armed rebels hold their positions outside of the presidential palace in yemen after failing to reach a deal for a bigger voice in government. they held the yemeni president captive for hours. he is a key u.s. ally in the fight against al qaeda. his hold on power has loosened. a lot of mixed reports in this country. we want to sift through them. christopher swift, adjunct professor of studies at georgetown university.

christopher, the president pointed to yemen as an example of success of his anti-terror policies. you say our inside that country though are lack us r luster. what do you -- lackluster. what do you mean by that. >> the primary difficulty the united states governments relationships in yemen don't extend much beyond the security services and the political elite in the capital. if you look at the groups like the rebels or al qaeda in the arabian peninsula out in the field among your areas among the people. we don't have good insight into those regions or great relationships and that is part of the reason why it is so hard for us for us and the yemenis to deal with al qaeda and the threat. jenna: we were speaking with a reporter on the ground inside sanaa, and she described what we're calling rebels as iranian-backed militia coming into the city there. what is the connection to iran? >> sure iran helps through three ways. the first is through money and

second is through some arms supply although most of that has been disrupted. the third is propaganda but at the end of the day there are pretty important theological and idealogical differences between the huti and the government of iran. primarily they're interested in controlling their part of yemen and having a bigger say at the table in yemen's capital. to suggest they're operating at the direction of the iranian government is a little extreme. their agenda is to take resources from outside of yemen and use those resources inside yemen to further their own objectives. jenna: we know yemen has been a hotbed for terror for training and the like. we've seen high-profile drone strikes inside of yemen for that reason. what do you think this disruption inside of the capital means for the different cells, terror cells that exist inside of the country and what does that mean for us and our safety? >> well, sure, look if anything, the yemeni security services are preoccupied with the security in

the capital and preoccupied with tribal factional and other struggles we've seen play out over the space of a couple of weeks, it will make it harder for them to focus their attention on threats like al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and its front organization ansar al-sharia and soorgs like aqap and other terror syndicates operating in yemen will probably try to use instability to expand their operations expand their influence and maybe try to take territory again. it is opportunistic model. it is not like there is some grand conspiracy. instability in any country, whether syria whether iraq whether afghanistan, whether yemen gives opportunists like this space to operate. jenna: what is interesting to the reporter on the ground there you're wondering who is actually in charge of the country and it was a scary feeling. you spent time on the ground inside of yemen as well and i'm curious when what you think every american should know about this country and why it matters to us today?

>> the important thing to know about yemen it is much more complicated than drones or al qaeda. al qaeda and drones is one of the serious issues they deal with on a daily basis. long-term yemen can't deal with a stable place dealing with population growing out of control, economy in tatters water supply falling lower and lower every day. just the crisis that is normal life in yemen is so bad, organizations like aqap or the rebels or some of the factional groups we see duke it out over the streets of sanaa last couple weeks, they're all trying to get a bigger piece of a shrinking economic pie. until you address that problem yemen will continue to be unstable. jenna: real quick on that note, this might be a naive question christopher, i'm curious why with all the issues yemen has, the water issue, economics as well the fact there are drone strikes although you say you question how effective they really are, why is it such a hot place to be recruited to?

why if you're in france for example, like the kouachi brothers you choose to go to yemen to get your training when you have other places to go? why does it remain attractive to jihadis. >> there is two reasons for that. the first is it is relatively easy for people who speak arabic to get in and out of but the more important reason yemen is the home of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. this is one of two major al qaeda successful organizations. the other one isis or islamic state in syria and iraq. depending what people identify with they're going to syria or iraq to fight isis -- fight with isis or trying to get in a aqap they used to have the best brand on the street in terms of attracting people. in recent years we have seen that in favor of isis. it may be swinging back. these go groups are competitors but share very similar world views and very similar objectives. individual that want to fight will identify with either one of them depending on the

circumstance. jenna: interesting to note the success from coming inside of yemen with all the obstacles and challenge the country faces. it bear as browder conversation, christopher. we hope to have you back to talk about that. good to have you back. >> happy to help. jon: police are not only ones looking to use drones to carry out operations. take a look at this one. it was found with a special package inside from the cartels apparently. could there be an aerial element in the war on drugs these days? plus a man tried for a third time in his wife's disappearance. you heard of double jeopardy but triple? we'll ask our legal panel why this case is proceeding. two weeks later. look, credit karma--

william la jeunesse live in los angeles with the latest on this william? >> reporter: jenna i have seen mexicans throw drugs over the border inside of tennis balls. they use remote controlled cars and ultralights but the u.s. never actually intercepted a drone carrying drugs over the border. this one however came close. in a parking lot at the sanya cito port of entry in san diego carrying six pounds of meth strapped with black tape. the payload was apparently too heavy for the model. one official told me they were testing it out for distance and weight w drones priced $100 and up some believe this could be a mode of choice to ferry meth or heroin to drop zones or smugglers on the u.s. side with little or no rick of getting caught. >> it was a only a matter of time before someone tried something like this. you can put larger power transmitters on them. there's some people that try and modify the radios to have a

longer range. >> reporter: while marijuana and cocaine once predominated the border drug trade the u.s. says meth and seizures are up 200% followed closely by heroin both high profit drugs by weight. the dea says traffickers use drones 150 times in 2012 to cross the u.s. border but none were intercepted. some report that the cartels are building their own fleet specifically modified to move drugs, jenna. one, the u.s. has a network of radar across the southwest border to detect planes and ultralights. we do not know and they're not likely to tell us if they can see drones. nevertheless seems problematic and highly unlikely they would be able to detect and intercept those in timely manner. back to you. jenna: very interesting, william. thank you. jon: jury selection is underway now for an unprecedented third trial for new york man charged with murdering his wife. calvin harris case already

played out twice since his wife michelle disappeared back on september 12th, 2001. despite the lack of marred weapon or a body, calvin was indicted by a grand jury on second-degree murder charges four years later. in may of 2007 his first murder trial begins. one month later, june 7th, 2007 the jury finds harris guilty of second-degree murder. the next day a surprise witness comes forward claiming he saw michelle a day after she supposedly went missing. so the judge throws out calvin harris's murder conviction. sets him free on half million dollars bail and orders a new trial. in july 2009 that second trial begins. then on august 5th, 2009 the jury find harris guilty a second time. well, two months later calvin harris is sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. then on july 28th, 2011 the midlevel appeals court upheld

harris's murder conviction in a 3-1 decision but a dissenting opinion from one of the judges stated the evidence was insufficient to convict and a new trial was ordered. that brings us to today. take this one up with our legal panel. rebecca rose woodland is a trial attorney. ashley merchant is a criminal defense attorney. welcome to both of you. >> good to see you. jon: they don't have a body they don't have a murder weapon. how can there be enough evidence to convict this guy? it has happened twice. ashley let's start with you? >> there is not enough evidence. the fact they got a conviction is amazing. got it based on circumstantial evidence. it is extremely hard to convict someone without a body because she could actually be living. that is not unheard of. all they have is blood spatter in the garage. they don't have eyewitness. they don't have someone who saw the murder happen. they have no one will come forward and testified she was murdered. she could have died from natural causes. she could still be a alive. someone else might have killed her. she had a boyfriend at the time.

there is another possible suspect. the fact that the investigation solely focused on her husband call harris is great point for the defense. they have a shot at third go-round with all the defense witnesses who came forward to testify. jon: it is not double or triple jeopardy rebecca. why? pause these, these cases, the defense is essentially winning round in court? >> you know what is happen something right. they're winning round in the appeals court. there are some issues here this man being very loved in the community. he ownses a lot of car dealerships. he is quite a then man. so what has happened is there have been these instances where they're in court, he gets found guilty, i have a say there is a little more evidence than just some blood spattering. there is some there was a divorce happening that was very bitter. the prosecution has a lot of evidence here and they didn't focus solely on this man but

after years, they decided to indict him and a grand jury did indict him and he has now been found guilty twice, not once but twice by juries. so he has had some technical issues in an appeals court that has reversed the decisions but they haven't found him factually innocent. they found him to have to go back to court again. i'm talking in layman's terps so people understand. this isn't the appeals court is saying he is innocent. they're saying no, no there were technical difficulties we're sending him back to court nor to yet another time. let do it right, judge, attorney prosecutors, defense attorneys, let's all do it and get it right. jon: this all took place on a day all of us remember, 9/11 of 2001. ashley i suppose if somebody wanted to commit a crime they might pick a day like that when the nation was in shock, when police agencies nationwide were busy with other problems.

but they don't have any evidence really other than the blood spatter that you talked about that michelle is even not live anything more? >> right. exactly. they don't have that evidence. the issue with double jeopardy a lot of people hear double jeopardy, think it is absolute think you can only go to trial once, but that is the not case. convictions are overturned all the time for a technicality and people go to trial two or three times and put in jeopardy more than once. if the appeals court found there was insufficient evidence, as rebecca said not enough evidence to go forward, double jeopardy would have bar ad retrial. if the jury found him not guilty that bars retrial. the doctrine of double jeopardy doesn't apply in this case unfortunately. jon: this couple had four children and all four of them apparentry are standing behind their father. they were only, between ages of two and seven at the time of her

disappearance. 20, 20 down to, let's see. 15 now. would it be useful for them to testify in this case? >> you know what, jon? we've seen this before where young children have supported the fathers and then the fathers have been found guilty. we saw it in illinois. we saw it out on the west coast. we've covered these stories here on fox of the issue is having a child with really very limited recollection, if the child was two, or four or five, they wouldn't necessarily really have anything definitive to say about the parent's relationship because their recollection the same they were so young is really nothing that a judge or jury could rely on and in the courtroom we really don't take recollection from children that young. jon: well they say cal harris is a great guy and would have never done anything like this. it is quite a case. we'll see what the jury decide the third time around. ashley merchant rebecca rose

woodland, thank you. >> thank you, jon. >> thank you, jon. jenna: an american soccer star accused of showing a little attitude off the field. now she is suspended from the national women's team. hear what police say occurred during a traffic stop with her husband. hundreds of people out of their homes after fire roars through their apartment complex, lighting up the night sky over the hudson river and new york city. >> i don't know what to say. it is shocking. that is really, i don't know until i see that i just can't digest it i guess.

behind me. fire crews are working to get the hot spots out. i want to show you dramatic video from last night. look at this. this is what residents came home to after work. a five-alarm fire stretched for blocks. flames shooting over hundreds of feet into the sky which set a thick, heavy layer of smoke blanketing the area. reaching from across the hudson to new york city. 1000 residents were displaced. forced to stay at area shelters or family and friends. declaring a state of emergency closing local schools. fire chief says the most important take that everyone got out alive with only two civilian and two firefighter injuries. >> we started doing our fire attack. i had mutual aid companies come in. fire conditions were getting worse. it was in the fours. it just traveled. we had crews on three floors. we had task of dealing with multiple rescues from different floors because the smoke traveled through the building. we had to evacuate the people.

>> reporter: the cause of the blaze is under investigation but what pancaked floors and still unsettled rubble smoking it will still take a while to determine the origin and cause and arson squad was called in but fire officials say that is standard procedure with the size of this incident. i spoke with one of the fire chiefs called into the scene said the sprinkler system in place helped buy time to get everyone out. but the lightweight wood construction up to code helped this fire travel so fast getting in between floors and void spaces very quickly. one resident i spoke to who lived there, one thing to have your house broken into and have a tv stolen and something stolen but we lost everything. all we can do is wait to go back in to see if there is anything left they can salvage. jon? jon: laura engle in new jersey. what a story. thanks laura. jenna: how one diagnosis changed jennifer aniston's perception of herself forever. we have the full report next.
