to? maybe the senate and the congress have to have hearings on this. check out the megacast for more of your favorite fox news channel programs. thank you for being part of "the real story." here's shep. >> a political battle stretching from washington to israel. just minutes after the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu accepted an invitation from the house speaker john boehner to address our congress, the white house announced president obama will not be extending his own invitation to meet, and wait until you hear the administration's openings. if tried e-cigarettes, the electronic devices that kids like? a new study is challenging their safety, and researchers pointing to a serious cancer risk. this is brand new. let's get to it. what a political battle this one has turn out to be. the israeli prime minister's

schedule has become a hot topic in washington, day after republican leaders invited benjamin netanyahu to address a joint session of congress. the white house will not extend a similar invitation. there will be no meeting at that time between president obama and the prime minister. the reason we're told, politics. not here but back in israel. the prime minister is scheduled to visit the united states just two weeks before the israeli election, a spokesman says the united states president does not meet with foreign leaders so close to their foreign elections. she calls it a long-standing practice. regardless of the news it's clear the invitation by the house speaker john boehner and senate majority leader much mcconnell deepens the divide between white house and republicans who control congress. the white house calls it's a breach of protocol. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is a fierce critic of iran and analysts say he will likely use his speech to push for sanctions but president obama requested that lawmakers hold off on sanctions against

iran because they're working on a deal. u.s. and other countries are negotiating with iran over the nuclear program. why would the republican make this request now? politics? why would the president say no to something similar with netanyahu politics? ed henry is at the house. first mike eman all on the holy. this has come together in a fascinating way. looks like benjamin netanyahu is a ping-pong ball. what are we to make of this. >> the date will me have 3. speaker boehner conformed the dade it to. prime minister netanyahu we're told requested to make one visit to washington before the election and so that date seemed to work well. meanwhile, the house's top democrat offered that's complaint about the invitation. >> it's out of the ordinary that the speaker would decide that he would be inviting people to a joint session without any

bipartisan consultation. >> and pelosi echoed the complaints that the white house has that she was uncomfortable about him coming here to the u.s. to speak to congress two weeks before his own election. >> the debate over iran is certainly not entirely political here mike. >> well, that is absolutely right. you have new jersey senator bob menendez democrat, who has been very vocal about his concerns about the iranian nuclear threat, and many of his colleagues are worried the administration may cut a lousy deal with tehran. >> when did we abandon the goal of not allowing them tone rich uranium? in the course of the negotiations with them, i think it became clear, not only to us but also to all of our partners that iran was not going to give up as a practical matter some very limited forms of enrichment in the event of an agreement. >> meanwhile, there's a bipartisan push on capitol hill

for new sanctions genes iran, despite the president asking them to stand down, and lawmakers are pushing for a bill to give congress final approval of any package to make sure it is in the u.s.' best interests. shep? >> mike emanuel. thank you. let's bring in ed henry outside the white house. so speaker boehner makes this power push. how mad are they back there? >> i think they're a lot more angry than they're letting on publicly. they're saying we're not upset with the israeli prime minister. one of president obama's closest allies. they're on the phone all the time but they have had bumps in the road before. remember the time the prime minister was here and was left cooling his heels for a couple of hours in the roosevelt room while president obama had dinner with his family. this is in an interesting development because what the white house is saying look they're not angry about the snub from speaker bane sore much as they don't want to enter sphere with the israeli officials a couple of weeks after prime minister netanyahu is here for the speech to congress.

so they're saying, look, we'll meet with him or whoever wins the election after those elections, and they say that is a long-standing policy don't get involved have somebody here at the white house two or three weeks before an election, but interesting, because think about what benjamin netanyahu will be doing before the u.s. congress so will other leaders from other countries have addressed the joint session of congress but not necessarily to go there and lobby against the american president, who doesn't want to see this sanctions bill against iran go forward. why? because the president wants to continue negotiations with the iran over its nuclear program but as you hear mike reporting, they're saying, look, give us -- there's a deadline coming up. the white house has blown past deadlines with iran before and people on the hill are getting frustrated. >> this is filling up the news cycle. what do you bet this doesn't happen? come on. >> there's a chance that benjamin netanyahu doesn't go forward with the speech, i suppose. but look, why did he agree to it? he knew this would be a thorn in

president obama's side and went forward with it anyway. at least in the early statements here. and we're told there's an apec meeting, american israeli public affairs committee, a meeting here in washington around the time of netanyahu's speech in congress. he will be in washington anyway. so i bet he do go forward with it because he's already taking heat now. why pull out later. and for all the talk from the white house about the relationship with israel is wonderful, again, why did prime minister netanyahu say yes to speaker boehner, knowing it was going to be a shot at president obama. he went forward anyway. >> i don't know. maybe into we would have this conversation. over betting he'll be here, i'll bet not just for fun. talking about it is one thing. actually doing it is interest. >> lunch on shep. can't wait. >> thank you ed. politics. don't understand it. a major crisis today for another critical american ally in yemen. this story is not getting sold to us straight. we knew it yesterday and now we fully know it. u.s. officials say it's home to the most dangerous al qaeda aquillat, the one that wants us

dead and says death to the united states, death to israel damn the jews, and long live allah. that's they're headline on the win. now the president, prime minister, and the entire cabinet are out, all backed by western governments, by the united states, and they're gone. we reported throughout the week that rebels took over that capitol city and trapped the president in his home. the rebels are backed by iran, according to every analyst with whom we have contact. of course, the iranians deny it. yesterday the president cut a deal to give moore power those rebels. -- the president of yemen brokered a deal to give them more power. so rather than lose everything he would give them some power inch exchange the fighters were supposed to leave their posts but that has not happened. they stood guard even today. u.s. officials say yemen's president, or former president now, has been key in the fight against al qaeda, but is it more than terrorism. as you can see on the big map on the wall, yemen sits at the

mouth of the red sea which is a critical shipping channel for oil, and analysts say losing yemen as an ally to jeopardize the free flow of. i jennifer griffin with the news from in the pentagon. we knew we weren't getting whole story yesterday and now we're positive. >> that's right shep. even state department officials moments ago say they have reached out to the capitol sanaa. they won't confirm it happened. they described it as a flute situation. just yesterday, as you mentioned, yemeni officials said a 10-point truce has been agreedded to that would geoff the shia howth this more power. it was apparent when the armed militants had not withdrawn from around the president's residence and from the presidential palless the truth agreement was in jeopardy. all of this very worrisome to

u.s. counterterrorism officials who are seeing a key ally against al qaeda fall to militants they may be under the control of iran. they have given no caution they plan to work with the u.s. >> what's going on with the u.s. embassy there? >> right there there is a company of marines in country prepared to defend the embassy i'm told. they would evacuate the handful of u.s. civilian personnel. the situation remains tense and neither the pentagon nor the state department have been willing to call what is happening in yemen a coup. also, the houthis say they have not indicated they are trying to go after our embassy or our people. the state department spokesman was suppressed today about why they heave nat ordered the evacuation of the embassy. >> so, basically anarchy is not enough to get you to adjust your presence? >> well, not with all due respect to your assess. as an ap reporter. we have the united states

government and our team on the ground. >> okay. >> assessing what is needed. we take it seriously and we'll manning -- >> right now there are two u.s. warships the iwo jima and fort mchenry and the san diego in the red sea off the coast of yemen if an evacuation us i is ordered. the u.s. spent $275 million on counterterrorism help for the yemeni military to fight al qaeda. all of that could be going up in smoke right now. >> jennifer griffin with us. thank you. another one of these three-head edmondster. the government backed by the west. rebels who are backed by iran, and then there's al qaeda and everybody is jockeying for position. we have seen this across the middle east. yemen is a very big deal. if it gets in the hands of enemies of the united states and iran is able to control oil flow, we have a new problem. coming up, more on the situation in yemen and what it

means for the united states. we speak with man who probably knows more about terror in the middle east than anyone. what is happening in yemen how big a deal for us and how could the united states play a role in fixing this problem. that's next. your daughter has a brilliant idea for her science project. and you could make it happen. right? wrong. because you're not you you're a cancer hospital and your daughter... she's a team of leading researchers... and that brilliant idea is a breakthrough in patient treatment that could save thousands of lives. which means you need a diverse team of advisors helping you. from research data analytics all the way to transformation of clinical care. so you call pwc. the right people to get the extraordinary done.

united states against kauai. robert young pelton wrote the book, the world0s most dangerous places. good to see you. >> how are you doing some. >> we backed this government. we gave this government hundreds of millions of dollars. they were helping us with altime now the government us out and the houthis are in. >> you're seeing the degradation of a lot of states in the middle east and south asia back to their original structures. yemen was always separate in to two and the tribal structures were divisive. you have two countries getting along because the money was flowing from the u.s. and now you're seeing actually more money from other countries like saudi arabia and iran. so you're seeing pressures in libya in afghanistan all over the-year-old, but yemen is the latest country to fall apart. >> iran is backing the group that just took over in the noncoup coup that happened. >> iran is terrified. you have the saudis in the gulf states backing islamic

fundmentallists and shi'as are slaughter and abused, the same thing in iraq and sir. >> it's a major problem in the middle east we don't get in the middle of because we view iran as a negative for us and we view saudi arabia as positive force but that might shift. >> there's the houthis, iranian backed, the government that is western backed and al qaeda is in the mix too. >> and also dozens of tribes in between all those people. but, yes al qaeda traditionally has used conflicts between tribes to insert themselves into these conflicts and the shia have taken it upon. thes to defendant this. s from sunni forces just for survival. we have gone in there and sort of anti-terror campaign and propped up governments but as we withdraw from the wars you'll see the local forces be stronger. >> so we should continue with the wars? >> that's a good question. obama officially -- president

obama has officially shut down wars but we're festival fighting a covert war in yemen, drone strikes, people on the ground training. what will help is you'll see more and more chaos but as our troops lose their presence there, we'll care less and less you. see this in iraq and in afghanistan. but there's actually an increase in covert activity in these countries. >> how much is this fear that the control of -- flow of oil will be affected there? is that overplay? >> i think it's overplayed because oil is a business and when it comes to money and selling things, it is the goal of every oil-producing country to get their products to market. so that tends to be an apolitical game. right now it's being used to punish russia and people like that, but these fears of blocking straits, were '80s fears when we were belligerent and iran was bell lent rent.

>> afghanistan going back to where they are. >> they're losing the influence we had and not just the old taliban but the new taliban factions and then newer factions looking to draw attention to themselves and get isis involved, which i don't think they'll get that involved but your seeing people making videos and chopping heads off in pakistan pledging allegiance to isis. this is roth the tieing and trying to get someone to deliver cash to them. >> looks like everything is falling apart and spiraling out of control. is that because we're too close? >> you got to remember that these countries are divisive anyway. the frictions and faultlines that cause the fighting and division is actually natural in those states because they clash, they come together, they negotiate something they form alliances. this was the game of thrones back in the day. so we're just going back to that. libya is the same way pakistan the same.

we're just seeing the degradation of western control in this sort of centralized government. >> welcome to the world of being in the middle of something we know nothing about. outstanding. >> i think it's more than natural and you'll see more progression that they want artificially inserting foreign troops and fighting our own wars in these divisive places. >> good to see you robert, always nice. thank you. >> thank you shep. >> some folks who smoke e-cigarettes claim they're safer than tobacco cigarettes because there's no smoke. but there's a new study halling that. research are says the vapor contains more of a cancer-causing chemical that science devices to preserve cadavers. tom brady expected to speak this afternoon about the controversial over the deflated playoff footballs, football gate? -- deflategate and websites are

the addiction but the double standard remains a government that wants to bring in all this tax money, and god knows there are 15.25 in this building per pack. they're getting taxes and then there's the tobacco lobby which opportunity -- and then the tobacco companies are in with the e-cigarettes but a of the kids -- >> that's what bothers me the most. get started early on with cigarette, addiction lasts a long time. i hate the fact the kids are using this. >> comes in watermelon flavor. >> i know. >> candy apple. you thought we would have gotten past this. where are the people jumping up and down? all paid off by the lobbies? >> i'm not. i'm jumping up and down, i think it's terrible. >> all right. well, see what happens. thank you, doctor. nice to see you. the former police officer in ferguson, missouri, who shot and killed the unarmed 18-year-old michael brown will likely not face federal charges no federal

it's now up to the attorney general eric holier to decide the fate of darren wilson. the former ferguson missouri police officer who shot and killed the unarmed 18-year-old michael brown. fox news confirmed now that the justice department investigators are unlikely to recommend charging the officer with civil rights violations. the attorney general will have the final say and we don't yet know when he'll announce his decision. back in november a grand jury cleared officer wilson in michael brown's death. some witnesses claimed the teenager had his hand up before the officer filed the deadly shot other. witnesses backed up officer wilson's claim that michael brown charged him and the shooting was in self-defense.

the different accounts and the fact that officer wilson is white and michael brown was black, led to protests across the nation. the demonstrations sometimes turned violent. yesterday st. louis county police released surveillance video showing looters trashing a store in november. vectors say they're still searching for almost hundred people caught on camera. garrett teney is in our midwest news hub. even the justice department doesn't bring charges this is a case that has a long way to go. >> yeah, it does. the justice department is conducting an entirely separate civil rights investigation. this one looking into the ferguson police department, and any allegations that have been out there racially biased policies, including traffic stops, arrests excessive use of force, which we saw in many of the demonstrations in august and november. now, there's no specific timeline when this investigation will wrap but it could lead to major changes in how the local

police department operates there in the community. meanwhile, the familiar live of michael brown isn't commenting on the record that federal charges will not be filed again darren wilson. attorneys said they would likely pursue a case against darren wilson. >> they rolled out the looting video. still looking for people. >> so far hey have identified six voids voids and, looking to confirm identity of 30 more. they have more pictures to go through. you can see a in this video more than 180 looters going in and out, couple of them carrying pillow case like it was halloween. the police hoping the public can identify people in the video and pictures. they'll release them every week for the next month and they have hundreds of individuals they're trying to find. >> derritt, thank you very much. what about the officer and the federal process as we move forward? our legal analyst arthur

aidala, is here, a criminal defense attorney in new york city. eric holder, up to him. >> i can only imagine how much money we just spent on this investigation. any law school student who passes constitutional law and criminal law, hearing the facts knows this is not a case where a police officer is going to be prosecuted by federal authorities. to give you an example in new york, the biggest case was diallo where 41 shots were fired by five police officers at an unarmed man, which -- those officers all -- were indicted and all went to trial and all acquitted. even under those circumstances, an unarmed man fired on by five officer 40s 1 times, that does not rise to the level of a violation of somebody's civil rights because under the circumstances, police officers were acting like police officers. in contrast the case where it was found that someone was violating someone's right another brooklyn case who when a

black man killed a jewish man as he screamed, kill the jew kill the jew. that was obvious -- there's tons of witnesses saying that's what the jewish man was killed, because he was jew wish. so the federal government does not want to get involved in local police departments. that's not what their job is. their job is to only get involved in local police departments if something absolutely egregious happen like somebody gets killed only because of the their skin. >> the federal government got involved in the -- maybe they don't get involved on this one particular case, suggest that the federal government has no place in whatever is going on in ferguson missouri, seems to be blind to facts there. >> those cases were prosecuted citizen live in the '50s and '60s. they have not in this system it's not there anymore there are video cameras everywhere there are cameras -- everybody is --

>> in ferguson, missouri issue is a lack of representation for them people when you have a town that is almost all black and a police force almost all white where they come from outside the jurisdiction, and i they make their money by ticketing people who turn out to be poor and african-american. but that's spray case. >> a police officer, someone tried to grab their weapon, any federal agency is going to say all bets are off because it was an fbi agent and someone grabbed their weapon the federal government would not be saying the agent did anything wrong if someone just committed a felony, tried to grab their weapon. >> so it's been proved he grabbed the weapon? >> the weapon went off in this automobile. the guy caught an injury. the guy next to michael brown said the weapon went off. >> to suggest the federal government has no place in a town as described by its local people in the way it is, you

wonder how else anything is going to get solved there. >> when you have an african-american attorney general of the united states of america -- >> who will make the decision. >> who will make the decision, you'd like to think that issue is put aside. maybe i'm being naive. >> what issue. >> the wish of, it was a white attorney general and he is making a decision about a white police officer going -- i'd like to think black attorney general is looking as it in a fair unbiased color neutral way and determining whether the prosecutor the cop. not based on the color of the skin because based on the circumstances. >> we'll be right back. ♪ ah, push it. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ push it. ♪ ♪ p...push it real good! ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ow! ♪ ♪ oooh baby baby...baby baby. ♪ if you're salt-n-pepa, you tell people to push it. ♪ push it real good. ♪ it's what you do.
