>> i wonder how the big meeting is going at the white house. >> we'll find out. how would you perform -- start off your work? "happening now?" >> absolutely. we'll see you there. bye, everybody. "happening now" starts. jon: this is not the end but the beginning. jordan's air force chief announcing his country has avenged the brutal murder of its pilot while making it clear that punishing air strikes on isis not over yet. jenna: hope you're off to a great monday so far. good to see you today. big news story, is jordan pounding isis with 56 air strikes since the terror group release aid horrifying video showing the captured jordanian pilot being buried alive. strikes said to be successful destroying isis targets,

including military barracks warehouses and weapons depots. conner is live in jordan with more. >> jordan continues to play an active and really important role in the u.s.-led coalition. they've taken part in about 20% of all the air strikes that the coalition has launched. the u.s. by far the biggest participant in all of those air strikes with more than 50%. jordan is still really really important in that coalition getting a little bit stronger now with the united arab emirates which had dropped out of the coalition, rejoining over the weekend sending f-16 fighter pilots. there's a lot of questions how effective the air strikes are. the coalition is repeatedly said they don't have particularly good intelligence on the ground and there are some concerns about just how effective the air strikes are in iraq. iraqi officials saying today

they want more advanced weapons, ta -- that they don't think the air strikes are doing enough that is isn't the right strategy. officials are saying they don't want jordan or any other country participating on air strikes on syrian territory that they want the international community to stay out of the fight against isis. you're hearing a broad view of what is happening. best we can tell in talking to the military analysts is that isis is suffering some defeat in iraq where they've been pushed out of significant territory in the northern part of the country, in large part because the air strikes are backing up kurdish forces on the ground and also the shia militias on the ground. we aren't so sure the air strikes are doing much on the ground in syria in large part because there isn't really an effective fighting force on the ground there for the u.s. and the international community to back up and to support and that's one of the things being talked about in the region is whether or not a ground invasion of arab countries, whenever it takes place, from what we

continually hear is that they want to be part of this air campaign and there's no real discussion of an arab ground force going in let alone an american so for the time being, the air coalition against isis will remain just that and not a ground fight against isis any time soon. jenna: thank you very much. jordan's air strikes against isis part of a larger group against the terror group. coalition aircraft have been conducting nearly 2300 air strikes as part of operation inherent resolve. jordan did 56 over the weekend but there's been thousands up to this point. american forces fly the majority of those missions more than 1850 are led by american forces. other cannotries conducting a combined total of 438 air strikes. the total cost of the operation to taxpayers related to isis now a staggering $1.3 billion. that's just to the beginning of january.

that's an average of more than $8 million a day since august when the air strikes began. >> it is a very big day at the white house. president obama meeting with german chancellor merkel. they are expected to focus most of their time on the crisis going on right now in the ukraine. a peace summit this week and the looming question over whether president obama will begin arming ukraine's military forces. we are awaiting a joint news conference later this hour. let's talk about it with bret baier. wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall in that meeting? merkel has been talking apparently time and time again with russian leader vladmir putin. so far there's been no sign that vladmir putin is willing to step in and stop the onslaught in the ukraine. merkel doesn't seem to want to arm the ukrainian government the loyalists there.

where does president obama stand on all of this? >> i think this meeting is part of that going forward. i think that you're right merkel is the go between with russian president vladmir putin. the negotiations have continued but apparently germany and france have given vladmir putin until wednesday to come up with a blueprint or an overall strategy how the fighting ends in the ukraine. and if he doesn't do that they've threatened to step up economic sanction which is a big deal for europe to agree to do that considering all the ties to russia and the economy going forward. as for lethal aid, that's really where the pushback is and merkel is against providing that to the ukrainians. the president has been considering it. we'll see what comes out of the joint meeting whether they go forward with that moving forward. >> the president is taking heavy criticism from people like john mccain and lindsey graham who say you can't fight russian

tanks which is what the so-called russian separatists have. some of them may be russian -- actual russian soldiers but we don't know that for sure saying that you can't fight those russian tanks with blankets. how much pressure is the president going to feel from this new republican-led senate? >> i think there is a significant amount. there are some democrats who are speaking about legal aid to the ukrainians as well not just blankets and phones and that sort of thing. i think that there is an amount of pressure from capital hill on this issue. that said, the europeans are pretty firm that they don't want this to be a tinder box that draws in russia in a different presence than currently it's believed they're supporting the separatists there. jon: but russia has already gobbled up crimea. if you let them get away with pushing the boundaries of ukraine back to the west you know, what's to stop them from taking over the whole country?

>> not a lot other than you're pushing up against nato countries and the deal that we have under article five to support any nato country out of defense in a defense agreement with them. you're right. there is a significant push on these ukrainian weapons. merkel is not there but will apparently step aside if the u.s. a groew -- agrees to do this. i think that's the interesting thing to watch in the press conference coming up this hour is the dynamic between the two leaders. >> british foreign secretary described vladmir putin as a tyrant. you don't often hear that language in diplomatic circles. the united states doesn't seem to be speaking that bluntly. >> no. they've said some interesting things about him, though that he has nationalistic ambitions, back to russia of the old days and they have said that he's

feeling the squeeze in his economy. and will continue to. that said he's not changed what he's doing by all accounts and in fact, the fighting in the ukraine has stepped up so some dynamic has to change. deadline is wednesday and we'll see if the weapons are going in from the u.s. jon: and some have suggested that if the u.s. or european nations provide arms to the ukrainians, then in a way it helps vladmir putin because he can say to his people, and he's very good at the propaganda here he can say to his people look. this is the world against mother russia. >> right and the u.s. is encroaching and the u.s. is doing this and the bad u.s. is coming up against our borders. yeah. so then his approval ratings continue to soar in russia even though the economy continues to tank. jon: and a bloody chess match very much underway in the ukraine. thank you for bringing us the

latest. jenna: fox news weather alert. a very wet weekend for the west coast and no rest for the weary in the northeast. another massive winter storm will dump as much as two feet of snow in some areas. boston schools already closed today until wednesday. molly is live in boston with more for us now. >> there's another day of digging out here in the city of boston. take a look. this is what folks are waking up to. this is just the average city street. you know these giant piles, not all of them are cars. this is a giant pile of snow. that's a car. giant pile of snow. giant pile of snow car and this is another giant pile of snow. people in the neighborhoods have to find a place to put it all. the budget also getting out this year by all the snow. significant concern in boston but also all across the state. the governor saying another 50 million going into that pocket that may be spent and really people are just exhausted. people are sick of it. take a listen. we had a chance to interview one

of the many people that have the snow shovels out today. >> just getting tired of it because yesterday we had to do it and it's been two or three times a day for every storm. it gets a little bit back breaking after awhile. >> this is one of the reasons that schools are cancelled today and also tomorrow here in boston. the sidewalks, it's tough to keep up with all the stuff. sidewalks have to be clear for the students to make it to their buildings. we watched people up and down here today digging out their homes and their sidewalks and piling the snow up even in the yard so you have to have your own private mini snow farm, a place to put all the snow. the snow farms in boston filling up and that's the challenge in the days going forward. where do you put it? and it's staying cold. that's the problem. wire not seeing a loft -- lot of meltoff. jenna: we've seen a lot of snow but we looked at each other on set when we came to the live

shot and we're like oh my goodness. jon: i've seen fist fights break out over things like this when people shovel out the parking space and drive away and find somebody else parked there. people get upset. >> i pulled up today and there was a guy pulling out this morning. i said can i take your spot? he said, yeah, but you have to put my marker back when you pull out. jon: get us photographs there. >> you don't want to cross the line. i don't want to be the one that crosses the line. jenna: thank you very much. a live report and also saving parking spaces in the free time. jon: and she'll give it back. we promise. a guy heads back to trial for the third time after his previous convictions were overturned. why prosecutors say he is guilty of murder. plus a popular pod cast based on the murder conviction of this man could get another chapter. the big decision in this case. and we want to hear from you.

13-year-old girlfriend will appear in court today. dalton hayes faces charges, including rape theft, criminal trespassing and criminal mischief. his accomplice is charged as a juvenile. jenna: convicted murderer will get a second chance before a judge. maryland appeals court agreed to hear the case of syad convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend in 1999. here is more on this. doug? >> at the time in 1999 seemed like a clear cut case of murder. in a fit of jealous rage a student at wood lawn high school killed his ex-girlfriend who was a popular senior there. later with the help of a friend he buried her body in a shallow grave in a wooded baltimore park but now in large part to a popular pod cast called "serial" new doubts have been raced about

syad's conviction. it comes from an alibi witness who never testified in his original trial. mc lane told the pod cast staff that she was with syed in a public library at the very same time prosecutors contend his ex-girlfriend was murdered. she didn't know the significance of the timing of the library rendezvous that it occurred at the same time prosecutors contend the murder happened. court of special appeals has agreed to hear arguments in the case in june. syed has long maintained he was not properly defended. his new defense plans to call the alibi witness to testify. his appeal we'll watch in june. jenna: all because of a pod cast. thank you. jon: his story inspired the hit movie "playing in theater still

and now as the american sniper murder trial gets underway how hard will it be to find an impartial jury? also word of some shocking new claims about the 9/11 attacks coming from the so-called 20th hijacker who is in the country's most secure prison. which country leaders funded al qaeda. we'll go in depth. edward jones. this is shirley speaking. how may i help you? ♪ oh hey, neill, how are you? how was the trip? with nearly 7 million investors he's right here. hold on one sec. you'd expect us to have a highly skilled call center. kevin, neill holley's on line one. ok, great. and we do. it's how edward jones makes sense of investing.

jon: court action in the american sniper murder trial. as jury selection begins in the case of this man eddie ray ralph. he's accused of gunning down chris kyle and a friend at a shooting range in texas. kyle is the former navy seal

depicted in "american sniper." >> i got a woman and a kid moving towards the convoy. she's carrying something. ralph's family says he was suffering with post traumatic stress disorder. his sister called 911 after he showed up at her doorstep claiming he shot two men. >> my brother just came by here. i was asleep. he's lost it. he told me he's committed a murder. jon: ralph is charged with capital murder. his attorneys plan to argue he was insane at the time of the killings. jenna: explosive new charges reportedly coming from 9/11 so-called 20th hijacker. he apparently claiming that saudi arabia's royal family were major donors to al qaeda. he said he even discussed plans

to shoot down air force one with the diplomat at the saudi embassy in washington. the embassy says there's no credibility, calling him deranged. these latest themes reigniting questions about the saudi financing and a particular classified portion of the 9/11 commission report. joining us is the vice president of research at the foundation for defense of democracy. so jonathan you worked as parts of the u.s. treasury looking into terror financing. what do you make of moussaoui's claims? >> i think it reignites questions surrounding the 28 pages and recalls some of the frustration that we have i think, long felt here in the united states knowing that the saudis are historic kally the number one financiers of radical causes and perhaps even terrorist charities around the world. so there are a lot of questions that remain unanswered and i

think the charges have yet again raised that. jenna: are the saudis as active as allegedly they once were? >> i think the way that the treasury would describe it is that the saudis cooperated a lot more since the 9/11 attacks. i think they realized this was not going to work well in their favor. they had to essentially see that there was a problem and began to crack down on the problem. the issue here is that perhaps there are tens of billions of dollars being funded to radical causes during the 1990's and let's just say for the sake of argument that the saudis have cut that by half which would be significant. the problem here though is that it probably still means we're looking at tens of billions of dollars with kad -- radical causes today. jenna: the testimony is coming out now because the family of the 9/11 victims are trying to

sue the saudi government nor their alleged role in the 9/11 attacks. that case has bounced around the court systems for years and now being allowed to go through when at first it was thought it was going to be dismissed or wasn't going to be tried. that's why he said i want to testify. i want to be part of this case. that's why we're hearing about it. what about the timing, though jonathan, that this is coming up now? we have a new leader in saudi arabia and also the crisis with isis and questions about funding. what do you think about the timing? >> timing is a little curious, although i think it's incredibly important that the saudi section, the 28 pages do become public. i think it's the right of every american to know but it's also interesting to note here the saudis are in a great deal of tension with the united states. they're very, very unhappy with us because of our flirtation with iran this continued discussion about the nuclear program and how they may even be able to keep part of that nuclear program. the saudis have been at the

forefront of the challenges. one wonders why this is part of the overall discussion to discredit the awedies to pave the way for an iranian nuclear program. the timing is just a little questionable. jenna: let's talk about the huge report on 9/11 28 pages have never been released to the public. i was reading in the "new york times" and other sites, they describe these 28 pages as almost having a mythical quality. why haven't we seen them? >> having not read the 28 pages, i can't tell you directly but the bush administration and the obama administration have decided to keep those sh rouded from the public eye. apparent it will reveals at least some depth to the saudi relationship with al qaeda, allegations that perhaps saudis had a fairly high level were involved in financing al qaeda

over those years. it's still unclear whether it would tie in the royal family but certainly important saudis at a high level. jenna: interesting and some say this testimony and also momentum from the case could force those hands in washington, d.c. that could release these final 28 pages that we would be able to see or at least these redacted ones. great to have you on the program always. thank you so much. >> my pleasure. thank you. jon: you've heard some of jonathan's thoughts about claims with the saudis on 9/11. we'll talk to the media panel about the still classified pages from the investigation and whether journalists are properly covering the story. plus german chancellor merkel meeting with president obama about how to stop the floody violence in ukraine. both leaders set to hold a news conference just minutes from now. we're live at the white house. know that chasing performance can mean lower returns and fewer choices in retirement. know that ncrease returns

moments from now. they have a lot to talk about, including the crisis in ukraine as well as nuclear negotiations with iran. ed henry joins us live with what we can expect. >> you're right. first to mention iran. the president did an interview and he believes iran for the first time is making major concessions in the nuclear negotiations but the president facing heavy skepticism even from some democrats like bob menendez skeptical iran will give up the nuclear ambitions. that's a big topic here with the german chancellor but the imminent crisis to deal with is ukraine. the fact that it appears russian troops, arms are going across the border to ukraine again as we've seen previously to help the separatists. the ukrainian government desperately looking for aid from the west and an interesting split that will be brought up at this news conference when it's opened up to questions is that

merkel along with the french they've given the russian president a wednesday deadline for diplomatic negotiations to bring this crisis back down and calm the situation down. if that fails merkel said she wants a tough new round of sanctions against russia. president obama said he will welcome more sanctions but also for the first time open the door to the u.s. arming the ukrainians. big security conference in munich over the weekend. there were reports that vice president biden told the gather -- german chancellor he supports them but there's no answer yet. jenna: we'll see you there. thank you very much, ed henry in the east room. jon? jon: now the media mailstrom. bring -- brian williams is

taking himself off the air temporarily at nbc. it wasevealed he's made falsee reporting on the iraq ww reports are emerg stories from ut it with alan colmes, hostdio show and radio talk show host. fascinating the language that he's taking himself off the air at nbc. does he not have a boss? >> you know, a lot of people forget he's not just a news reader. it isn't just about reading from the teleprompter. he's the managing editor so he has a lot of power. and i think when you say you've made this choice it remains clearly that there's at least a power play even internally. he doesn't want it externally to be thought that someone higher than him and there is someone higher than him, if he took him off that that would be a lot more -- it would be more of a serious dynamic versus buy --

bring an williams to take himself off the air. who knows? maybe that's also an exaggeration. >> we doen know if he was asked to go off the air. >> especially brian williams. jon: and the thinking was that he would go back on to david letterman's show and sort of this would all be over and they could joke about it. >> they cancelled letterman. jon: that was the idea. >> it's sad to me here is a guy who has had a great career to let this incident if it's isolated and it may or may not be destroy a man and destroy his career is almost absurd. you know if he exaggerated about his role as a journalist in the war what about the people that exaggerated to get us into the war in the first place? and made those mistakes? those people should be punished. >> a journalist's effort is to

get as close as you can get. and you can make a mistake. there's a difference between making a mistake and making something up entirely. if you're going to make up that you were hit in a helicopter with an r.p.g., you don't do just one and i think there's an entire bag of potato chips with the brian williams' story. you don't even have to search. there are stories of -- and this is missile mania. it's a diagnosable situation but when you have stories that elevate you through danger, hillary clinton had the same issue, being shot at in an airplane, seeing dead bodies, being in dangerous situations heroic acts all feed through this and williams' stories deal with everything from puppies to seeing dead bodies. >> he needs to give a fuller explanation of is there a reason on his part and why was he think sng why would he continue to do

this? jon: we'll see what nbc news decides or what he decides since he decided to take himself off the air. >> and the track issue with his position that's the other issue. trust is key obviously. jon: that's really the only thing we deal with in this business is trust and honesty and also shocking claims, we just talked about them with jonathan shocking claims from a lawsuit filed by 9/11 victims against the nation of saudi arabia. the convicted terrorist testifying that high ranking saudi officials, including members of the royal family helped bank roll al qaeda before 2001. now the "new york times" took a look at this "the washington post" took a lock at this but other than that, it hasn't made a lot of media splash. why not? >> i think we haven't released it for one thing the 28 pams that have been redacted in the 9/11 report that would give us more information and we should get that information.

jon: saudi government said the 9/11 report came out and it cleared out. >> we don't know that because 28 pages address involvement or lack thereafter. jon: you're nodding in agree many. >> that's the problem. the american people need to know these things and when you have something that sounds so sensational and removing the saudi arabia family from the country, but on the other hand moussaoiu is a lunatic. so how convenient is it then to accuse our allies of something and i think it hasn't made a splash because we know he's a lunatic. the individuals that he particularly names, we know are friends of this nation and yet we do know that there are problems inside saudi arabia but the bigger issue is transparency of that september 11 report

which would clear that kingdom and do themselves the favor. >> do the saudis fund terror? where does the money go? is there a money trail? it's an ally yet 15 beheadings so far this year. yet we embrace them. >> that's the problem that americans see so many inconsistencies with some of the moderate members of the royal family versus the behavior of the religious dynamic in that country. these are things that all of us would be better suited to have an open conversation about. >> i'm not sure if it's as much as the political dynamic. jon: the 28 pages blacked out in the 9/11 report about the saudi government. it would seem like a nice time to maybe -- we deserve to know. >> we deserve to know and the saudis can be helped with this and for them to be perhaps a little less sensitive, especially if this is going to be going on with that lawsuit. jon: thank you both. jenna: two suspects running through traffic and firing at

"new york times" examined the flow of global cash for more than a year and turns out nearly half of the most expensive residential properties in the

country are now owned pretty much anonymously which has all sorts of implications. joining us is dagen. walk us through this. shell companies how does that play into purchasing all of this high dollar real estate? >> foreigners in this country, and jenna the "new york times" story focuses on the tom warner center and that's the focus of the -- most of the reporting in the very lengthy article. a shell company is just a company, say for investments that a foreigner would set up in a state like florida or nevada to invest in an apartment or pardon mes so it's not -- you know, just because we call them shell companies and it sounds so evil but it's perfectly reasonable and legal to set up a company to buy real estate. the trouble is that the "new york times" raises that it's hard to find out who is behind these companies. jenna: and in the article, some

of the characters that they were able to uncovey shady pasts. >> yes. shady pasts and just so there are more than a third of the condominiums owned by foreigners at the time warners center and at least 16 foreigners who owned in the building at one point or another had been subject of government inquiries, either personally or as heads of companies but broadly speaking to accept back if you're a foreigner, you have to set up say, a limited liability company if you want to buy real estate. real estate is an incredible -- in the united states an incredible investment for people overseas. you think about being from russia extremely unstable currency. unstable financial situations very stable investment is real estate in the united states. these people because they're paying in cash, they don't have mortgages. the banks don't look into their backgrounds. jenna: and we should mention, i hate to interrupt you but one of the mortgages was like $20

million this russian guy walks in and pays with cash which is why the "new york times" said you know that is sort of curious that people have that much cash. what's up with their business? this is a broader part of the article. "new york times" was raising this question that if you're a non resident and you own property you pay no city income tax. you receive these tax breaks so they were basically questioning the "new york times" whether or not that's fair. >> you do have to pay property taxes on it. if you own property you have to pay property taxes on it period. if they're not living here if it's an investment they wouldn't pay income taxes. this is a condominium complex. as people in new york city know if you invest in a co-op building, they have boards and you don't own your own apartment. you own a piece of the overall building so the investment money would be going into condominiums where you own the apartment and

they're simply less scrutiny n. a co-op, they want you to live there for the most part. in a condo, they don't care as long as you have the cash. jenna: and that's what they said. and in this piece, the people say do they have the cash do they have the apartments but another question raised was whether or not this sort of interaction with the real estate market is inflating prices in some of the biggest cities and making it less affordable for americans to actually purchase property in the city that they are paying taxes in because they are residents. >> it would make it more expensive if you want to buy for the first time but if you already own property in many of the cities -- miami is one. a lot of foreign investors buying real estate in miami. properties sit empty but the rising tide lifts boats of those who own so it makes it hard to be a first time buyer but if you already own property then your property values go up with this influx of money. listen. there are things that the treasury department could do to

at least open up and find out who -- make it easier to find out who owns the properties but again, it's -- we do fair and balanced. some questionable owners, yes. other owners perfectly legit. jenna: that's good to underscore it helps the value of your property. interesting to walk in with $20 million cash to plunk down on an pardon me. >> some day. pore us never. jenna: like, no. i don't even have suitcases that could hold that. thank you very much. all the more reason to go shopping. dagen mcdowell from the business network. you can go to fox news/channel finder. jon: you could sell your shoe collection. jenna: i would never do that jon. jon: wind driven wildfire sparks evacuation of two towns but folks not able to return to the
