"happening now" begins right now. martha: bye. ♪ ♪ jon: after 16 hours of negotiations, leaders from ukraine and russia reach a deal, a ceasefire set to go into effect on sunday. will this one hold? good morning welcome to "happening now," i'm jon scott. jenna: hi, everybody i'm jenna lee, we'll see what actually takes place. this fragile truce very late in the night last night. even during the negotiations, pro-russian rebels launched some of the war's most intense

fighting. of course, this isn't the first ceasefire between the two sides but german and french leaders who brokered the deal insist they're going to keep it on track n. the meantime, the international monetary fund injecting billions of dollars to rebuild ukraine's economy. let's get more from our senior foreign affairs correspondent greg talcott who's live in kiev. greg? >> reporter: a glimmer of hope, that is what one participant has said about this deal, but maybe just a glimmer. the folks here on the ground in kiev are skeptical. they have been here before. those marathon talks produced at least two very important points you alluded to one, that's a ceasefire set for midnight saturday night. it is described as unconditional. and another important point, the withdrawal, the pulling back of heavy weapons like tanks and rockets that have done so much damage, that have caused so many deaths in the eastern part of this country. that damage continuing as we speak, especially over a key rail hub where both sides have been fighting. this is another hitch. they have another three days

before the ceasefire is supposed to go into effect. they can fight during these three days and there hasn't been a dividing line set between the two sides yet. now, as for a very important point and that is russian presence in eastern ukraine, there was a couple of points hinting towards dealing with that situation. one, they called for a pullout of foreign troops and, two, they said the ukrainian military should take over the border between ukraine and russia. but there are so many clauses and vague wordings and long timelines there that frankly, the russians could march around this. remember, vladimir putin says there are no russian troops, no tanks here in eastern ukraine, but today the ukrainian government saying 50 tanks crossed the worder. a top american -- border. a top american general told me he thinks there's 6-8,000 troops. washington will take a wait and

see attitude towards the ceasefire, and if it goes down maybe reviving the idea that lethal defense weaponry that was talked about being sent here and, yes, one last point, imf, international monetary fund approving a $17.5 billion package. the economy is in as bad shape here as in the eastern part of this country. jenna: our top story of the day. greg, thank you very much. jon: isis is making new claims about france's most wanted woman. the islamic state's french language magazine publishing a story saying the widow of one of the paris gunmen in the "charlie hebdo" attack is currently in the militant group'sty story. -- territory. john huddy live with the latest on these claims. >> jon, this is really the first official claim that she is in isis territory and has joined the terror group has linked up with isis. now, the interview is in a magazine that's a q&a supposedly

with wombty yen. i say supposedly because there are no pictures of her or really any proof or definitive evidence that it is, in fact her though it is believed she did manage the cross the turkish border into syria and join up, in fact with isis. and that raises concerns about militants getting into iraq and syria to fight with isis. in fact, yesterday we learned that isis is growing with more than 20,000 militants from more than 90 countries, many of them so-called home grown terrorists. those militants radicalized in other countries including the united states and france. now, boumediene and her husband killed, he killed five people that kosher supermarket attack in paris last month, and both say they were inspired, in fact, by isis. and in this supposed interview, boumediene says she did not find it difficult reaching isis

territory and getting across the turkish border into syria and says that she felt good to, quote-unquote, be on isis soil. she doesn't really provide any details about the attacks in paris but does say that her husband also wanted to join isis and get into syria and iraq to fight with the terror group as well. back to the magazine, jon, it shows pictures of the aftermath of the attacks in paris, and it's entitled "may allah curse france." jon? jon: john huddy, thank you. jenna: back here at home, new information on the obamacare front. with the office supply company, staples, blasting back after the president criticized the company claiming it reduced workers' hours as a way to get around their health insurance. giving them health insurance. all this comes as the open enrollment period winds down with just three days to go until it's over. peter doocy's live in washington with more on this story.

peter? >> reporter: the president's problem with staples is that he thinks they rolled back the number of hours some employees can work to 25 a week to skirt a requirement in the aca that full-time workers at big companies get health coverage. >> when i hear large corporations that make billions of dollars in profits trying to blame our interest in providing health insurance as an excuse for cutting back workers' wages, shame on them. >> reporter: this sunday february 15th marks the end of the second-ever open enrollment period under the affordable care act, and so far experts say sign-ups are looking a lot better, and things are unfolding much smoother than at the same point last year. that is partly because the web site actually works so for people who watch the numbers closely, not a big surprise. but the back and forth between a giant american company and the white house has been. >> the surprise is just that the

president was so audacious as to come out and blame a specific company for problems that he himself created. >> reporter: and now staples is saying the president is wrong and that, quote: the initial buzzfeed story was misleading as our policy regarding hours for part-time employees is more than a decade old to. it's unfortunate that the president is attacking a company that provides more than 85,000 jobs and is a major taxpayer. and the white house press secretary, josh earnest says that he's great tfied to hear that staples isn't cutting back hours because of the aca. he says that is proof there's not much merit to accusations by republican critics that obamacare affects job creation. jenna in. jenna: very interesting. peter, thank you. jon: the trial of the man accused in the murder of chris kyle is focused from the start on mental health and whether defendant eddie ray ralph knew right from wrong. taya kyle, the widow of the murdered navy seal, held kyle's

dog tags while testifying about the last time she ever spoke to her husband. will carr covering that trial for us from stephenville texas. >> reporter: good morning. a texas ranger just took the stand, he'll be talking about exactly what he saw the day of the shooting. a short time ago chris kyle's bid coe, taya went into the courthouse. taya was the fist witness on the stand yesterday. she wore as cross and in his book chris kyle described his deeply religious. the jury really seemed to resonate with taya yesterday. you have to keep in mind that the jury's made up of 12 jurors 10 of whom are women and whenever taya got emotional, several of those female jurors teared up as well. it also hit a nerve for some jurors when they saw pictures of the scene, some gruesome images of the body. while they seemed to be overwhelmed at times,'dty ray ralph, the former marine, simply showed no emotion.

the crux of this case is not if ralph ended up killing chris kyle and his friend, chad littlefield, but if he was legally insane when he pulled the trigger. the defense says ralph has a history of mental problems had ptsd, had been in a mental institution just a short time before the shooting and had smoked pot and drank whiskey the morning of the shooting. they even say that chris kyle had some concerns that morning that he ended up texting littlefield on their drive to the shooting range where the shooting ended up happening, texting littlefield saying "this guy is nuts." the prosecution on the other hand says ralph knew exactly what he was doing that he used two guns in the shooting that he reloaded before he stole kyle's truck and took off and that he ended up confessing to husband family and authorities. if he is convicted, the prosecution, jon is asking for life in the prison without the possibility of parole. jon: what a sad event. will carr from stephenville

w. bush. he is also a fox news contributor. eight years ago at this time, karl, she was already a candidate, right? why, why take, you know, the foot dragging this time? >> well, eight years ago she had one significant contender already in the race and making ground in iowa, in fact, leading in some polls in iowa and that was john edwards who'd been the democratic vice presidential nominee in 2004. there was also an illinois senator, young senator named barack obama who while he was running a distant third, was nonetheless in the contest and moving around. this time around she has no one in the race or no one even exploring the race who has the level of activity, energy name identification and represents the kind of threat that john edwards did last time around and that president obama turned out to be. martin o'malley, the former governor of maryland, is thinking about it, jim webb the former one-term senator from virginia is thinking about it,

bernie sanders is talking about it but there's nobody out there digging in in iowa like john edwards and barack obama were doing eight years ago at this time. jon: so are you surprised? are you saying that it's good campaign strategy for her to just kind of sit for a while? >> well, look, i think this is a smart thing for one reason: she's not ready. i wrote a column before christmas going over, think about this, she puts out that book in may and june, has a dreadful book tour, makes all kinds of mistakes, you know? she was dead broke when they left the white house, she tries to knock out the npr reporter who dares to bring up how she's changed on gay marriage she goes out on the campaign trail does little or no good for any democratic candidates but goes to boston and says businesses don't create jobs. and then before christmas she gives this speech in which she says insofar as it's possible we need to have empathy for our adversaries like isil. she's not ready for prime time. so the question is, without any

real opposition in the field is she behind the scenes getting herself ready to be a better candidate, or is she simply sort of organizing this gigantic apparatus with, you know, former white house adviser former obama person that, former state department person here is she organizing this gigantic apparatus, and will she merge onto the stage here in three months or four months as bad a candidate as she was that we saw in 2014? my sense is it's smart for her not to ratchet it up. she's going to need to then start spending money and become higher profile. but the question is, is she carefully studying and getting herself ready with a message that will resonate and with a team that will work together in concert? and we have, both of those questions we don't know yet but my suspicion is we aren't -- we are going to see answers to both of those questions. jon: the republican race on the other side already seems to be in a sprint. let's talk about a couple of the

potential gop candidates who are already under scrutiny for their performance on the campaign trail. wisconsin governor scott walker visiting london on the heels of another visit by new jersey's governor, chris christie. walker gets criticized for what he didn't say about evolution christie's already been criticized for what he did say about vaccinations. is in this part of the winnowing process that helps toughen up candidates, or are the media picking nits heresome. >> no, i think this is part of the process. chris christie and rand paul sought, in my opinion unnecessary controversy by their reactions to questions about vaccinations. governor walker, who gave a spectacular speech in iowa a couple of weeks ago went to london. useful to do, meets with the british prime minister the chancellor of the exchequer meets with business people on a trade mission. the problem is if you're going to go to london and you don't want to make a substantive speech then don't accept an

invitation from a prestigious british think tank because they're going to expect you to talk about foreign policy concerns. that's what they want to hear from an american, what are you thinking about the shape of the world and the role that europe and particularly the brits play in it? governor walker made a speech and took questions and clearly ducked and bobbed and weaved on every question on foreign affairs. i hope the lesson is don't go to a venue where they expect you to talk about something and not be prepared to talk about it. jon: for instance, he was asked about isis he didn't want to express an opinion but his defense, he says, is that's really the purview of the president of the united states and when you go overseas you shouldn't be, you know talking policy in ways that contravene official american policy. >> well, i agree with his sort of generalized sense that you don't want to go abroad and take a 2x4 to the president of the united states. on the other hand, it's entirely appropriate to go abroad and when asked a question about your views, to talk about what you're

for. you don't need to begin and end and make it all about what you're against in the president's current, current formulation, but it is permissible, i believe to go and say here's what i, you know here's my view of what we face, and here are the challenges that i think the next president will have to deal with. and i think that is appropriate. look, everybody's going to be making mistakes right now. let's just be honest about it. you're putting together a complex organization in a relatively short period of time and things are going to go haywire. jeb bush, for example, this week had to in essence, fire the hipster.com tech-savvy guy from silicon valley because he found out that he'd made in past years some objectionable comments on the internet. so everybody's going to go through this. the question is going to be does it show up a recurring pattern that is harmful over the arc of their campaign? and we've now got some markers. let's see if these things continue. jon: karl rove our fox news

analyst, thanks very much. >> you bet. thank you. jenna: a big story, three members of a muslim family gunned down in north carolina. police say it started with a dispute over a parking space. now they want to know if the victims' religion made them a target. more on that. plus, six months after the airstrikes on isis started, the white house wants to the wage a wider war against the islamic state, but is the president's strategy realistic?

military strategy, as you heard there, with a three years' limit. in the meantime, it's been six months since u.s. and coalition partners started bombing isis. general jack keane is former vice chief of staff of the army and, of course, fox news military analyst. general, it's always great to have you on the program. before we look ahead, let's just reflect back on the last six months and what we've done thus far. get us your assessment. how do you think the last six months have gone in our fight against isis? >> well certainly one we made the right decision to get involved, two, we did set down the right goals, and that is to degrade and destroy isis. i think we've refined destroy to defeat, that's a better military term, for sure. but then we characteristically went about the means and the ends of doing that very similar to the pattern that's been established by this add managers in 2009 -- administration in 2009 in afghanistan; put the minimum amount of forces in and set a timetable in libya,

minimum forces, have a stalemate with nato over that which is an absurdity with third rate military. and for the last suggestion months, what we -- six months, what we really have seen because of the refusal to put ground forces that can affect and help indigenous forces in iraq air power has been effective, it has stalled to offensive in iraq, and we've got to give centcom credit for that however, isis in syria is expandinger territorial control, and they own more territory today than they did at the beginning of the bombing campaign. we have a long way to go. jenna: let's talk about the ground troops' aspect of this. we seem of to have a pick hur of ground troop -- picture of ground troops that could mimic what we've seen over the last daled, maybe the range of what we think when we think ground troops is zero ground troops or hundreds of thousands of ground troops. is there something in the middle that could be a good option

here? what are the appropriate ground troops that would actually work in our fight against isis? >> that's a great question. in the president's proposal to the congress for the authorization of military force, he posits the fact that we want to defeat isis, and that means iraq and syria. the defeat mechanism for isis is the decisive force is actually ground power supported by air power. so you have to have an effective ground force if you intend to defeat. but in his proposal he treats the use of ground forces as if it's a third rail. it's something that we really and truly do not touch, and we only use the barest minimum in iraq, and we have no ground force in syria whatsoever. we should be relying on local forces, to be sure in iraq and also an effective ground force in syria that we don't have assisted by the united states. they should be main effort, to be certain. i'm not -- jenna: what lessons do you think we can learn from iraq and

afghanistan that we should apply to this fight against isis? >> well, we have yeared of experience -- years of experience in dealing with these folks, and certainly, this is the very same force we defeated in iraq in 2007 2008. but now they're operating as a conventional military, and they're holding territory something we didn't experience. so we have to approach them differently. we have to approach them more with conventional military but also using our special operation forces. but we are not talking about numbers of combat brigades tens of thousands. the choices that the president posits in front of the american people, it's a false choice. he says huge military intervention, he's saying we're not going to go back and repeat 100, 150,000 troops. nobody is suggesting that is what is needed in iraq and syria to defeat isis. but only providing a handful of advisers is not the answer either. and there is no ground force that's effectively put together in syria. jenna: let me ask you a quick final question here. how do you think our enemy perceives what the president had to say and the president's

request to congress? >> well, i think they predicted it. they predicted it would be a weak is and feeble response, that it's a minimum amount of force that we're applying. they're looking at the united states, and the united states does not want to get bloody again in the middle east. that's the way they're looking at it in their minds. the united states is going to rely on air power, and they're going to rely on these local forces which they believe they can have their way with. and i think they still believe in their mind they're going to be able to hold the territory they have and take more territory in syria despite the authorization for military force that's on the table. jenna: general ceep, thank you very much. >> good talking to you, jenna. jon: on the very same day we got confirmation of kayla mueller's death, the white house said there was at least one other american hostage in the region. what's being done to mount a rescue before it's too late? also a live look at the dow as we get some important numbers on the economy. we're live with what it all

either directly or through etfs. but a pair of government reports out this morning, they were disappointing. one showed the number of people who applied for jobless benefits rising to 304,000 in the first week of february, and that was up from the prior week. and retail sales declining for a second straight month down eight-tenths of 1% in january. this as drivers spent less money on gasoline but did not go out and splurge on other items. gas prices today are up, however, up for the 17th day in a row. aaa putting the national average at $2.23, and oil prices are hovering around $50 a barrel. of what's surprising here is that they haven't moved much above 50 in recent days yet gas prices are not ticking lower, so they keep going up and oil's not really going up. jon: in fact the oil prices are low and holding steady, and the gas prices keep going up. explain that. >> reporter: not fair. it's very difficult to explain, but in the next couple of weeks, the refineries switch over to

summer blend gasoline, it could be one of the reasons, they're getting the refineries ready. jon: all right. lauren simonetti, thanks very much. don't miss lauren on our sister network. if you are not sure where to find fox business in your area log on to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. >> there is at least one other hostage that is held in the region. the you asked me specifically about isil. what i can tell you is we are aware. we have avoid discussing the individual cases of americans held host cam, but we are aware of other american hostages being held in the region. jenna: some new information but the white house obviously not saying really whether isis is behind it. this all comes on the same day -- on hearing about kayla mueller's death and that it was confirmed. joining us now the former deputy assistant director and fbi's hostage rescue team commander. danny, we certainly don't want another family to go through

what kayla's family is going through. can we get our people out of wherever they are? >> we can get them out. we have probably the three best hostage rescue teams in the world, the delta force seal team six and the fbi's hostage rescue team. the issue is not can we, it's where are they. i have had the opportunity to rescue some hostages, and i always knew where they were. the big problem is intelligence, and we've lost our intelligence sources over the last several years, particularly in yemen. and so we're in the position to now of where are they? can we get them out? yeah, we can get them out, but we don't know where they are, and that's because of lack of intelligence. jenna: you say one of the things we should be doing, and it's ironic -- we'll mention it because it's important -- you say we should be staying silent about these folks. >> absolutely. the more we talk about what we do and how we do it, i think after the osama bin laden raid, we talked way too much about what the operation consisted of and what hoped us,

and -- who helped us and that hurts us. if we compromise sources and methods by making public announcements, it's more like, say, a show and tell situation from the white house, the harder it is to get these guys out. we need to talk about it when they're out and back in safe hands. jenna: that sounds like a good deal to me to get them back into safe hands. >> me too. jenna: let me ask you about something else also that you can lend your expertise to. one of the big news topics from washington, d.c. this week have been the number of americans that have gone to syria to fight alongside isis and there's a big concern about those americans coming back here to the united states. that certainly is a law enforcement issue that the fbi is very much involved with. how safe do you think we are? how closely are we tracking these people? >> i don't think safely enough. it's not just our people going there, it's their people coming here. jenna: absolutely. >> remember the boston marathon bombing. the fbi investigated those guys based on information from the russians, but there's a time limit placed by the department of justice, and techniques have

to be limited that the fbi can use. the fbi completely exhausted their time limit and the things they were allowed to do and, of course they closed the case, and we saw what happened a bomb went off at the boston marathon. congress needs to stop wringing their hands and understand we're at war. loosen the guidelines on the fbi and our other services to investigate these people so that we have some idea of who they are, what they're doing and don't put artificial guidelines on the fbi and other intelligence services that prevent them from doing what you and i would say is just logical. logic has nothing to do with these investigations. they're prescribed by the department of justice certain things you can and cannot do, and then they put a time limit on it, and that's crazy. it doesn't make any sense. and one other thing -- jenna: sure. >> the department of justice limited the ability of the fbi to conduct investigations in mosques, and that came after the boston marathon bombing. so none of this stuff really is lodge -- logical.

congress needs to make some decisions here and encourage changes. jenna: until they do, danny, what is your biggest concern? when we see the value of american hostages in the middle east, what concerns do you have about that scenario playing out here at home as well on american soil? >> that's a great question. and the fact is, they will do it. these guys watch what each other does. these various islamic groups they see what they do, they watch it on the media. and, remember in australia one of the things they were going to do there was kidnap people off the street and behead them. so i'm afraid there'll be copycats here, and we'll see the same thing happening in the united states. if we move forward the state department's idea to bring these refugees back here from syria, it's going to be a really bad situation. jenna: that's one of the ideas floated out there. danny, great to have your expertise. >> thank you. jenna: look forward to having you back. thank you very much. >> have a good one.
