chemistry that surges through your body. not something over which you have any control. i also want to thank you for being part of "the real story" today. lots of news and some good news as well. i'm gretchen carlson, here's shep. >> vladimir putin making promises after months of fighting in ukraine. the russian president says i'll agree to a cease fire. but the plan has some very big problems and we'll look at what has to happen for this to actuallyd çç work. america's soldiers make extraordinary sacrifices for us, leaving blood and body parts on foreign soils soils and many who return home still carry scars. the wounds his visibledy ç of the most deadly. each month hundreds of veterans kill themselves. within the last hour the white house signed off on program to assist those who have given so much. ry -- i'll speak with a man who helped make this happen. so let's get to it.

>> good afternoon. we're beginning today with a very disturbing new report in the fight against isis. reuters news service is reporting right now from iraq that islamic state fighters have taken over most of the city in the western part of the country. this is significant not only because isis has clearly made gains there, but specifically because this spot is near a key u.s. air base where u.s.0 marines are right now training iraqi troops. frankly we're having a hard time getting detail i from the pentagon. officials confirm there is heavy fighting in the area but that's it. the cities anwar province where isis has been battling for months and today, according to reuters, isis is winning in a spot that is fraught with peril for american troops. let's bring in retired army colonel, thomas lynch, former :special assistant to the joint

chief0s staff chairman, now a fellow at the national defense university. he is not here to speak on behalf of the university or the pentagon. this sounds very troublesome sir. this spot that reuters says isis has apparently overtaken, not far from a base where our soldiers are working. >> yes, i think it's a report that bears watching. i think it bears watching in context. the context is this is a fluid situation in iraq. over the balance of the last couple of weeks report is have seen suggest that isis in many different places. there are a number of airstrikes launched against iraqi forces with a debilitating effect on their vehicles, sources of oil revenue and other locations. having said that, they're still -- having been to that air base several times, while i was still in ewan ewan -- uniform, it's 10 to 15 miles away from

the town so it's not a direct threat but bears watching and there will be response to that in the next 24 to 48 ours. >> we have seen the same reports and you're on point there wheny'ç you say isis has been slowed or stopped and much of what the coalition is doing seems to be working in ways it hadn't let's say a month or two ago. that said, this situation specifically this one location, seems to be significant and if the reuters reports are

it that jumps to mind if they're heading toward the spot where our people are, the last thing you want to do is draw them in. you hope it doesn't come to that. >> just in terms of tactics and how isis would draw is in, it's one thing to take over a town that does not have defensive forces that are dug in place and battle you back. it's quite a significantly different thing to take onv$7 an air base like the one we are reportedly working with iraqis to train them you have to get through some perimeter security and penetration. not impossible, bears watching carefully. if the isis forces are to mass to the numbers they would have to to attack on the ground --

through don't have air or heavy weapons, making them vulnerable to our airstrike us. so watch to see what happens from here. it's possible they could infiltrate and do some things but i find it more than a little incredible they would in the near termcdd0 be able to mount a credible offensive capacity with the mass that wouldn't draw immediate airstrikes and difficulties for them on the ground. >> that's context and very valuable. it appears the islamic state does have a new star. the widow of the terrorist who attacked the jewish deli ino+e÷:ç paris, that kosher deli. she talks about her husband's deadly attacks, her journey to syria, she even gives advice to fellow women of isis. the interview is in the latest issue of the islamic state's french language magazine. the islamic state has magazines in multiple languages including french. the cover shows>sç the eiffel

tower, along with the headline may allah curse france. the witness dough says she made it successfully to syria. she says her husband's eyes shined every time he watched the individualee from the islamic state that shows killers carving off peopley's heads or burying them alive. today isis put out a new video of= a captured sole tours congratulations. a militant shoots the victims point blank in the head with a shotguns. i have not seen it. not going to watch it. the producer who saw it said it is horrific. and beyond description. we will tell you that the video fix yates on the prisoner0s moment of death. winds andl g": plays the execution back frame by frame. the widow says videos like that one drove her husband to kill

and he focused on france. few jewish hostages died when the gunman opened fire last month. s.w.a.t. police shot and killed the attacker and by then investigators say the widow was long gone and on her way into syria. in another part of the interview with this woman she speaks directly to other women with ties to isis when she says, and i quote, my sisters be bases of support and safety for your husbands brothers, fathers and sons be advisers to them. she goes on, they should find comfort and peace with you. do not make things difficult for them. unquote. barbarians. no way to verify the interview butvvk intelligence officials believe she did travel to syria. this comes as lawmakers take up president obama's request to deal with isis with 0 force and would allow for limited use of american combat troops, something already causing

debate. mike emanuel is live on capitoly hill this afternoon. how are key lawmakers and experts assessing the threat? >> reporter: they're saying what they're seeing with isis is unprecedented in holding vast territories, having an estimated $2 billion in assets and then there's the propaganda and recruiting skills. >> if they had a madisonwa avenue marketing firm and tried to say what can we do to provoke americans, this is exactly what they would do. >> reporter: making reverence to slick propaganda videos that are recruiting foreign fighters at what experts are calling an alarming rate. >> any sign that the president's request for new war powers against isis is gaining any support on capitol hill? >> not at this point. a lot of criticism from the right and left. house democratic leader nancy pelosi was cautious with her language, saying she hopes in

three years isis will be defeated and we can go on with our lives. she was noncommittal. then we heard tough lodge from the house homeland security chairman. >> i would&crramy rather have no aumf than the one he proposed. you'll see us have hearings in congress and i think it's imperative we assert our own aumf. what would i support? i would support an aumf that would authorize the defeat and destruction of isis. >> reporter: expect plenty more debate on capitol hill. >> authorize the destruction of isis. how can you be much more vague? are they for adj;fzcç for troops on the ground or all over the place. >> the republicans are saying give the commander flexibility, if they need to do surgical strikes, do it. democrats are saying that may be a formula to get into another long war and there's no appetite

forked. some are saying it's too broad others saying it's too restrictive. >> i've sis made it --]zkoçç isis made it clear they want our troops on the ground. that's heir stated goal, they've said it from the very beginning and say it today bring on your troops. so far we aren't. mikec#xhj.ñ emanuel, thank you. then there's russia. vladimir putin and european leaders say they have now reached a peace deal and the war in ukraine is going to stop. that's the headline. the rest of it is imperfect at best. the first problem the war is not scheduled to stop today. instead it's scheduled to end on sunday. so todayñwq the ukrainian military and putin's rebels are stillñ? shooting at each other. and then there's another possible problem. both sides are supposed to remove their heavy weapons after sunday from the front lines. they'll have two weeks to complete the process of getting the heavy weapons out of there under the agreement both sides have come. to that leaves open the possibility for another playerup.

there's a long time. that's 20 days. well, 18. it's not clear if this agreement will hold at all since president putin has never kept many promises. everyone involved seems to agree this is worth trying because frankly, it's better than nothing. greg palkot is live in ukrainian capital of kiev. >> reporter: certainly worth trying but the mood near kiev as well is skeptical. the folks here have been here before. of all the leaders at the marathon talks in minsk. putin looked the most satisfied. he came away with the most from thoseuç talks. for example the line between the two sides, well, putin has already arguing about where that line should be as a fighting around the hot spots there rages. russian troops reportedly said to be inside ukraine for -- in big numbers. well, the wording in this agreement is so vague they might

be able to stick around for a while longer. also the border between russia and ukraine, that remains in russian-backed rebels' hands for the foreseeable future, and more autonomy for the rebels. no wonder that ukrainian president poroshenko is trying to put the best spin on things. no wonder washington is taking a look and see attitude and saying that lethal aid might be on the way if the cease fire falls apart. back to you. >> some chaos today in ukrainian capitol. the video shows two lawmakers in a fistfight. i think these tactics should be employed on capitol hill immediately. immediately. let them fight it out. one of the guys walked out with

day two of emotional "american sniper" trial. the defendant, eddie routh, is accused of murdering chris kyle and his friend chad littlefield. routh pleaded not guilty by reason of inseason. chris kyle wrote a memoir, "american sniper" which inspired an oscar nominated movie. chris tile is known as the deadliest sniper in u.s. history. he received not one bullet two silver stars and five bronze stars. he is no doubt an american hero. even after all those awards he wrote he struggled with come bat-related anxiety after returning home from war. so he helped start a nonprofit group that helps veterans struggling with post traumatic stress disorder. police say chris kyle and his friend were trying to help a

thousands of people showed up at funeral services today for three students gunned down in north carolina. a father said the gunman shot them execution style and he calls it a mate crime. the students are allm6o#4d muslim. police say it center overred a fight over a parking space, an ongoing dispute. the funeral was in a mosque in raleigh, north carolina, and the

shooting was in chapel hill. investigators say craig hix shot and killed the students at a condo complex near the university of north carolina. a neighbor says she called 9-1-1 after she heard ten gunshots and then people screaming and then nothing. the suspect describes himself an facebook as a gun-toting athiest and says he hates religion two of the students were newlyweds. friends and family say the couple planned to travel to turkey to help give syrian0=ççó refugees free dental work. the third was the wife's little sister shep was 19 years old and a student at nc state. the woman's father told the charlotte observer newspaper the suspect picked on the young couple behalf and said one of his daughters called the suspects a hateful neighbor, saying he hates us for what we are. and how we look. police say they're still investigating. the suspect behind bars now could fails the death penalty.

jonathan is covering this one. >> reporter: this crime causing a lot of concern in community. literally thousands of people showed up for the prayer rally this afternoon in honor of the three young people who were gunned down on tuesday. friends say the victims had volunteered to help local homeless people with dental problems. that in addition to their international humanitarian work with refugees. craig hix requested a public defend are as he faces three counts of first degree murder. the suspect was upset over noise's3 at his con minimummum complex in addition to a dispute of the parking space. but civil rights advocates want authorities to investigate whether bigotry was an aggravating factor because all three victims were muslim. the "associated press" reports mr. hix's wife suggests religion had nothing to do with the shootings and neighbors say mr. hix was quick tempered and prone to heated confrontations.

>> joining us now is a fox news legal analyst arthur aidala. three fantastic young americans. does this qualify as a hate crime or could it? >> in new york, it would be more applicable in north carolina the hate crime statues only apply to lower level crimes. that in theud state of new york there's in death penalty and in north carolina there is. so there is no more severe punishment that's guy can get if he killed them over a parking shot or over their religion. so it's not applicable really, honestly in this case, from a purely legal purely punishment point of view, it doesn't matter. he is still facing the death penalty. >> in north carolina hate crime legislation applies only in this way. to elevate a misdemeanor to a felony. so, because he is already charged with a felony felony

the north carolina hate crime legislation would not apply. federal hate crime legislation would come into effect only if a court rules the state court made a mistake. and since there is no mistake here, federal hate crimes statutes probably wouldn't apply either. the bigger question is maybe for us as a society, because this matters. it's not going to have practical effect in court but this sort of thing matters. it's about who we are. >> you're hundred% --- correct. in other states it's usually assaults or damage to property. it bumps it from a one level felony up. so instead of facing five years, now you're facing eight years 23468 murder cases you can go from 25 to life, or 40 to life so a real practical effect. but this needs to be investigated for us for society. i will tell you some of the hardest cases i have are

every community, every american can reach out and do more with and for our veterans. this has to be a national mission. >> this new law calls for outside audits of suicide prevention programs at the department of veterans affairs and creates a program to help vets transition from active duty and a web site about mental health services. the legislation named for clay hunt, a marine who served in iraq and afghanistan. he killed himself in 2011. according to the veterans administration an estimated 22 veterans die from suicide every day. lea gabrielle joins us now. >> clay hunt was 28 when he died. he survived being shot in the wrist by a sniper but couldn't get help from the va in time to save him from suicide. his death represents a problem that too many veterans have faced. >> we have 22 veterans a day committing suicide here. that's an issue that needs to be in the forefront of every

citizen's mind. we sent them to war. >> for every 100,000 people, about 13 commit suicide. that number is more than double among veterans. we spoke with one veteran who survived a suicide attempt. he says he wasn't prepared for the things he saw when he was deployed. >> something that haunted me and really for me it shapes my deployment. and when i came home it resulted in nightmares. it left me kind of feeling like i couldn't escape, even though i was home back in the states and i knew i was safe couldn't shake that feeling of depression and anxiety. >> he says it was almost a year and a half after his deployment before he started getting treatment, and the stigma attached to ptsd is part of the reason. he hopes that stigma dies as the bill becomes law. >> the stigma is the most important thing.

let's taken to the minnesota congressman who says the veteran suicide prevention bill will hopefully help vets before it's too late. he is a retired command sergeant major in the army national guard. the highest ranking enlisted soldier to serve. >> thank you for covering this. >> please. it's such an important piece of legislation. we have been reading these statistics and it's one thing to look at numbers. it's another thing to hear from the men and women who served with these brave men and women who have killed themselves after protecting our freedom. what practically speaking will this legislation do. >> what you're hearing there is bringing it to the forefront. the stigma -- it takes courage to come forward. we understand this is a normal reaction to the trauma that these warriors are saying. i think at a nation, we understand we put them into those situations and when they return home, we have an obligation to do everything possible, both morally and i

also argue these are our best and brightest, our future business leaders future teachers future members of congress and presidents and we owe it to them to get it right. >> congressman, in speaking with many membered of the military and veterans they'll tell me it's a very difficult thing to balance. for one, you're being told you must be tough you must be tough every way every day and then when you come back you also have to let us know when you're not feeling good. you have to let us know when things are running from you in your head. and does the -- do commanders have a responsibility here and are they being instructed? >> i thick the military on the dod side is doing a good job. you would not send a warrior back into battle with a fractured arm and the same thing with a mental health issue. i said the sad part about with clay hunt was he was incredibly

self aware. he was in any office advocating for better care on mental health. he understood what was happening to him. he tried to seek out the help but it was disjointed to the point where he couldn't get it. i thick there are those that are getting there. but from my observations and having -- as a senior nco, think the climate is changing, the culture is changing in terms of addressing this, of understanding if you want to geese the warriors back into service and once thigh leave we have to understand this is valley there's things we can do to happen -- steer them away from the decision. >> we can all be good friends and good listeners for them. thank you for this important legislation. >> thank you. >> yemen is on the brink on an all-out civil war. and headed towards complete

disintegration, that from the united nations. local media report al qaeda linked militants took control of the headquarters of the yemeni brigade the southern part of the nation. eight people reported dade. the united states has closed our embassy indefinitely this week. it's always very bad news for america because washington had relied on yemen fighting against al qaeda. yemen was a very good partner. now that's gone. there is no functioning government in yemen. the terrorists are now taking over. connor powell has the news. >> yemen slipping furor into into chaos. there is no functioning government and the economy is collapsing and the u.n. peace talks between rebels and insurgents have done little to provide stability.

u.s. diplomats and cia agents left the country as they closed the embassy. the pentagon says counterterrorism operations will continue even as iranian linked rebels seized the capitol. while the u.s. is not happy the rebels have overthrown the u.s.-backed government they aren't the biggest problem there that's because they are vehemently antial qaeda and the u.s. signaled they're willing to work with the rebels if they're willing to fight al qaeda. the trouble it's not clear what control the rebels have and the entire country is a mess right now which means al qaeda has more room to operate and the u.s. has less room to fight. the. >> conor, thank you very much. here at home for a lot to star getting your tacks together. right? isn't that fun? i know you would never fib or cheat. not at all, ever. but there are some people who are fill ought completely bogus

tax returns, getting all kinds of money from our government and who do you think pays for that? how big is the problem? wait until you see this. across america people, like basketball hall of famer dominique wilkins, are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin.

15 minutes before the hour. people in brazil's largest city sao paulo may have to go routh running water for up to five days every week. at a historic drought has almost wiped out the city's water supply. some pictures in the slide show this afternoon and they tell the story. that is a dam completely dried up. the worst drought to hit the region in eight decades. officials say the city's water reserve is only six percent full. rainy season is almost over. so, everybody is going to work. this little boy filling up jugs that he will share with neighbors, according to the locals. this is a man here who is getting water out of a truck. lawmakers say that they have --

may have to impose distribution rationing rules like completely shutting off water to some homes for days a time. >> $21 billion. that's how much the irs estimates tax cheats will steal in phone use refunds over -- phony refunds over five years. from 2012 through next year. anallies blame the agency's outdated fraud detection system. irs officials say budget cuts forced the agent to delay making improvements in the systems. analysts say all somebody needs to file a false return is your name, social security number and that's it. that happens to be information hacker stole from a health insurance company. anthem reported the security breach affected as many as 80 million people. jeff lanza is a retired fbi agent and a fraud and identity theft analyst and joins us live. this seems absurd they're so
