birthday. >> we are back on tv at monday. we are tossing to "happening now". that starts right now. >> we start off with a fox news alert. legislation approving the keystone oil pipeline passing both houses of congress and speaker john boehner signs the bill. >> and sends it to the white house and president obama said he will not sign it and promises a veto. after declaring the end of combat operations last year. >> our war in afghanistan is coming to an end. >> our troopsor the offensive in afghanistan and conducting dangerous night raids against al-qaeda and taliban terrorist. plus an eye-opening new study about a nutrient that many folks are lacking. low vitmin d at a young age can

heighten serious risk down the road. >> tough love right before valentine's day. inspectors checking millions of now flowers for hidden pest. >> that's all happening now. >> we begin in afghanistan. and the report in today's new york times that the united states is escalating a secret war. while the obama administration insists our combat role is finished there. i am jenna lee. >> and i am jon scott. raids are surging against the al-qaeda targets by american special operations forces and afghan commandos. after a raid last fall targeting an al-qaeda leader and they found a computer chalk full of intelligence. peter doocey is following the story from washington. joishgs jon there is a ton of new information to digest with

the story. beginning with the fact that the night raids are happening in the winter. throughout the course of the afghan war this is the time of year things calmed down and notable that a big split is revealed between what the politicians are saying bh about the war is over and the pent gone is doing. the way they describe the state of the play to the new york times tis all in the shadows, the official war for america and part of the war you could see is over. but there is a secret war that is going and it is going hard. we have heard from senior military officials that the raids have picked up. basically meaning that some days a lot more raids than normal and some days there are not. the official told us that the night raids are yielding significant intelligence like a lap top belonging to a senior

al-qaeda member, and during one raid, they killed that terrorist and took his computer and the info has help planners figure out what comes next. we heard from general john campbell in charge of the american cocan alition. he feels good of the last six months on the ground in afghanistan and we are hearing that the next wave of night raids are not just going to focus on taking out insurgents that pops up on a screen instead, the targets will be more carefully selected as people who are known to be targeting american interest or someone who tried to attack jon. >> the afghan war is not exactly over. peter doocey, thank you. >> and we'll turn now to isis and a key victory by iraqi forces over the terrorist.

they managed to turn back an assault in the western an bar province in iraq. a place where 300 american marines are stationed. and a another hearing on capitol hill as law makers look in to isis growth. kathryn, welcome to you. what do you have to tell us about the events in the last 24 hours? >> reporter: thank you, jenna. general michael flynn is a credible voice on the subject and said the threat of islamic terrorism is unacceptable levels and no evidence that it has peaked. >> i have the unhappy task that according to the significance islamic extremism has grown over the last year. >> reporter: he said it is a kinetic fight and a idea

logical battle. it is an arc of instability from iraq and yemen and syria and africa. and another saying that isis is getting a foot hold there. >> you are seeing anise lammic state affiliate in libya. it is ungoverned space and it is a civil war and that is destable otherwising both east and west. >> the most interesting elements of flynn's testimony warned that the allies that are dumping the weapons in the region must be reigned in as a large effect to bring the arab nations together in a collective defense similar are to nato. >> we need an arab world nato- like structure and not deal with

each one of these countries as though they are individual countries and individual problems. they are dealing with those problems and we need to put somebody in charge of it. >> and you will recall that fox news was first to report that the rise of isis in iraq was documented in the daily broef. that was presented to the president a year before the terror group pushed through large swath of territory and this debunks the claims from the white house that the team was taken by surprise and suggesting that there was a intelligence failure when that was not the case can, jenna. >> thank you as always. >> and the hard working members was congress will take next week off and ahead of the recess republicans are doing a victory lap after passing the keystone pipeline bill, following years of delays. >> this is about energy and

about jobs and economic growth and national security for our country through energy security and everyone is on board except for the president. in the moan time law makers are facing another show down. the department of homeland security set to run out of funding later this month. both parties are clashing over a provision to roll back president obama's executive action on illegal immigration. >> homeland security shutting down endangers the american people. republicans must stop holding the homeland security for grand standing and honor our sacred oath to support and defend the constitution and the american people. >> david druker is the senior correspondent of the washington examiner. what did nancy pelosi say. anti- immigrant or anti- abuse

of presidential power. >> the republicans are split some favor a plan to citizenship. and you have a lib ratline with other. but they think that the president's executive order that legalizes 4.1undocumented immigrants and gives them work permits, they think that was an overreach of his executive order and unconstitutional. the republicans are trying to roll it back. >> and so they are voting and trying to allow the department of the homeland security funding to go forward without money for the president to implement his programs and republicans control both houses of congress. why can't they get it through? >> the president has all of the money he needs for the executive action and all of the money

comes from direct fees and doesn't require appropriation from congress or authorization from congress. we know if the president signed the law, it would roll back his executive action. who is standing in the way of the bill that fully funds homeland security and roll back the action. senate democrats filibustering. and the republicans have 53 votes and at least 52 if not 53 to move forward with the bill. it is not a super majority and that is required in the senate. and you will see a fight over who should get blamed. the democrats or the republicans for pushing a bill that doesn't just fund home land but rolls back the president's orders. >> and you look at the popularity of congress and the fox news polling has done so. congressional job performance right now. and only 21 percent of the

american people approve and the good news that has ticked up slightly. since well over the years. 21 percent approval. and that is good news. you are not in very good shape, david. >> 21 percent. if i were them. i would be popping the champagne corks. it is a miracle and can republicans as the fully controlling authority over congress not just one- half of 1-third of the government control all of congress can can they get voters to blame the minority democrats that are blocking the funding bill. and can they work it out so the pressure goes to the president. the senate democrats relenting and moving the bill they won't. one of the reasons that democrats are committed to

filibustering the bill, if the president vetoes a bill that funds homeland security to take on an executive order are. he takes that action and all of the sudden it is a different political story. >> the president threatened to co stone poip line. is he taking a risk? >> the voters generally support keystone. it is not an issue with americans that cause a huge back lash. the veto will satisfy the environmental activist on the left. if it was an issue that was a big, big deal politically for the president they would approved it and not held it up for years the way he has. >> david druker from the washington examiner.

thank you. >> thank you, john. >> it is a historic day on wall street. dow hitting a big first. and another index notching at an all- time high. >> and one-half of the country bracing for cold temperatures. some making the the choice to get out of town altogether. >> what i look forward to is get rid of the warm weather. >> we'll miss the storm and we'll learn to get over it quickly. can this decadent, fruit topped pastry... ...with indulgent streusel crumble, be from... fiber one. fiber one streusel.

he knew right from wrong in the time of the shooting. >> and fighting in eastern ukraine only hours after a ceasefire deal is roached. that is set to go in to effect on sunday. 11 troops were killed in the fighting with russian backed rebels. and in the meantime angela merkel calls the peace deal a glimmer of hope. will it hold or collapse? >> there is more from the center for european policy. comblimer of hope do you agree or disagree? >> it is not time to open up the champagne. this was an expensive deal which the europeans purchased and they had to give up a lot to get it and the worst part, it is not likely to hold very long. >> what is the price that you

mentioned? the europeans have done throw things. created the outward appearance of peace and given russian an international line of demarcation line and have the hold on eastern ukraine and gave western leaders an excuse not to take action as long as there is a peace deal on paper. >> i am sorry to interrupt. when we talk about western action we are talking about whether or not we will supply arms to the ukraine. i am curious whether or not the thought of that or the threat of that could have been what got everybody to the table initially to talk about the ceasefire and what impact it might have on whether we provide arms now? >> the europeans have been seeking a peaceful solution because they don't have the ability to assist in a meaningful way.

they took arms off of the table. they are concerned about escalating the situation. but russia is escalating the fighting in eastern ukraine without west intervention. now there is a peace deal, this is the best time in which to provide aid and assistance that the ukrainians need to defend themselves. >> you are saying go ahead and give them the weapons now. to do so would send a powerful mess amg. it would say that the ukrainians can defend themselves and the russians don't have right to invade their country. if we don't act russia will take parts of its own control and protection and allows united states and europe to find an excuse not to take action. that is the worst of all possible things to happen.

>> we are looking at different tanks and heavy weaponry used in eastern ukraine. we don't talk about the human costs or the people caught in the cross fire. the associated press has a reporter on the ground and that reporter told the wire service that he or she stumbled on the body of a young child because one side and he didn't say which side it came from, bombed a kindergarten class in eastern ukraine. this fighting is bad. do we understand how violent and brutal the fighting is? and how should that be added to the calculations of what we do? >> the human cost of the crisis is the worst. right now ukraine has a million internally displaced people. they are people who fled the fighting and many of them are very poor.

they don't have resources and they are fleeing the conflict in the dead of winter. this alone should encourage the united states and europe to take action to empower the ukrainians to stabilize the crisis. the real flaw in the agreement is that it russia can continue to attack or propel this crisis forward while the united states and europe hold on the hope that if we don't act russia will calm down. so far that approach is not working. this agreement has a high cost or low probability of sustaining itself. >> it bears in mind that the russian- backed rebels or russia is displaying million people and shot the aircraft out of the skrie. thank you for having me.

southern california to washington state. 25 percent of u.s. international trade comes through. clothes and furniture and cars and if they are not reaching the stores consumers can't buy and workers all on the delivery i chain will suffer including this truck driver. listen here. >> this is a long protracted slow death. we are shut down. we don't have any work to do and held hostage. >> reporter: some law makers say it is time for the president to intervene. >> we believe it is the greatest threat our nation faces. and we want him to be focus and act swiftly. with both parties behind him and make sure our economy doesn't go back in another recession. >> reporter: not much progress

is currently being made in the dispute. employers say the workers are on go slow. and the unions deny that. and in the the meantime the employers are instigated a partial lock out. the log jam of ship in the pacific builds up and as always, jon, it will be the consumer to pay the price for all of this. >> as always. johnathon hunt in los angeles. thank you. >> very sad week. some of the brightest boldest voices responsible for reporting the news. bob simon was killed in a car crash and new york time columnist da ca rr died after collapsing in the newsroom. it is a heavy week, howard.

>> it is a sad week for journalism. bob simon it sounds old- fashioned to say. it he was a globe trotting reporter and went to war zones and took rick and captured and taken in the first gulf war and came back for more and he was not a guy who tried to be a celebrity or put himself in the center of the the story and did it so well so long, his death after all of those war zones and to die in a manhattan car crash is especially sad. >> david carr is someone you had a relationship with. he was a driving force and media criticism and pop culture in many ways in the new york times. tell us a little bit about him. >> everybody in the news business read him because of his times column. he was a quirky and funny and

prickily character. he over came drug addiction and wrote a memor about. that i wrote about that. he wrote a jennerous column about me and my career. he brought a voice and originity to it the genre of media. and so he influenced the business. he was big on twitter and not a television presence. >> you look at the losses this weekend and the shifting, williams on suspension and jon stewart leaving his popular show. i know you will have him as a guest and i would like you to talk about that. one wonders if the end results is that journalism takes a pause and tries to do better work because of the people who left

us too soon. >> i have interviewed jon stewart but don't have him as a guest. with all of the big names passing from the scene or getting in trouble. the fake news anchor and comedian is one of the most trusted names in news. we have a star studded line up and people from former abc director david weston and joe klein and piers morgan and look at the shifting media landscape. >> thank you so much. we'll see you in new york. >> and valentine's day is expensive and people spend 2 billion on flowers for the day every year. 90 percent of all of the flowers imported to the u.s. comes through miami intll airport. and every flight is checked out

to keep pest and plant diseases from entering in to the country. steve? >> reporter: one of the busiest weekends of the year in miami international airport. four times as many flowers as usual. 22 million come through miami international airport and they are shaking out bouget and coming out with slugs and beatles and cockroaches. >> if you find one at home. you are grossed out and not pleased at all. but when you are looking for it. you are mentally prepared. >> and what they are looking for is anything unusual. pest or disease that could cause harm in the u.s. most flowers came from colombia and they have a cool and humid climate. but recently ecuador has been producing the best flowers in

the world. it is a multibillion dollar industry and the competition is becoming global. >> that is a big change in the flower business. it is seasonal but not seasonal because it is all over the world. it is not grown here but in africa or australia or europe or costa rica and all of the products grown everywhere in the world now. nglobal means that you have more to choose from. a flower wholesaler he offered six different kinds of roses and now today 200 to choose from. >> they are not checking every single bunch of roses but samples? >> that's right. they check samples and if they find something that puzzles. they stop the shipment and they can't check the billions of tons. >> that would be a full

and police attorney and legal analyst. thank you for being here. >> hernandez's fiance has been given immunity in this case why? >> they want to hear what she has to say. that's the bottom line. it is a quick legal lesson. if you are called to testify in front of a grand joror regular jury you have the right to it take the fifth. i will not answer that question because she could say something that could incriminate her regarding the subject matter. but if the da's office gives immunity. even if she tells us she committed the crime we will not prosecute her. >> and the prosecution, fred thinks after the murder she was given a box on hernandez's

instruction she took a box out of their house presoumed to contain the murder weapon. she said she doesn't know anything about it. >> and if you promise to tell arthur. i think it is a tough case in for the common wealth it is like a hail mary pass if i poro a phrase. they are testifying about the box you just mentioned and the only thing they have is the threat of prosecution for perjury and she is loyal to the goichlt as a prosecutor i would be nervous about putting her on the stand. >> she understands the consequences. >> arthur, is it a difficult case? >> just talking about the fiance. consequences she could face if she testifies she had going to do with that murder weapon she could be charged with murder. and the thing is acting in concert. you can be held loibl.

even if you didn't pull the trigger. just tell us the truth. >> why if she could be implicated as an accessory, why give her immunity. >> they may be insecure about the case. >> they are afraid their case is not good enough. >> but if she, already, i am speck outing here. if she ditched a murder weapon for her fiance, fred you think because she gave her immunity, she will say yeah, i did it? >> no, she is not worried about herself quite frankly. she is worried about hernandez. they need her to testify that he asked her to ditch the gun. they don't have the murder weapon. it is a risky thing. what if she said, i didn't do it. and i prosouted people for perjurey and it is tough to

convict on. >> we'll keep an eye on it. and in the the meantime we'll talk about the daughter of the chairman of the korean air she was sentenced in the case of the nut rage case and forced the plane back to the gate because the flight takenedant served her macadammia nuts on in a bag. but listen to both of you guys if you are going to give me the macadammian nuts, i want them on a plate and not a bag. >> first of all she screamed and threw him off of the plane and makes the plane. i would sentence her one day on flying every day on the middle seat and make her eat peanuts out of a bag.

>> fred has prosecuted and defended people who did more a grejous acts and not got a year in prison. >> she stands for this thing in korea. she is the the child of a guy who built the airline and carries on like a jerk. >> you don't serve macadammian nuts in a bag. >> gentlemen we'll have to leave it there. fred and arthur. no nuts on my plane, they are too expensive. nhave a great weekend. >> new research and a question in the winter, are you getting enough vita min d. an 81-year-old woman stirring things up in the courtroom and what she had that had the judge laughing uncontrollably.

a new study showing just how important vitamin d is to your health. researchers in finland showing low vitamin d levels in children could raise certain heart risks and a recent study finding a link between vitamin d deficiency and increased risk for alzheimer's. we have the chair of urology at lennon hill hospital. why vitamin d? what's so important about this particular vitamin? >> thank god we have vitamin d because it's probably the most important vitamin out there. we've talked about vitamin b12 all vitamin b complex but this is actually a hormone. this is not even a vitamin. and it affects our entire body. like really fatigued, you don't have the energy to move, you don't get enough sun that's because your

vitamin d is really low. the main purpose of this is to build up your calcium. but it has other type of things. >> if wer talking about this in dark of winter, so many of us around the country haven't seen the sun for a long time. so curious whether or not the form you get the vitamin d matters and what's the best way before we dig into these studies to get vitamin d efficiently. >> what you want is a real active form, vitamin d3. i'm with you because i'm always in the operating room. a few years ago i realized that i'm always tired. it doesn't matter what i eat or exercise and all the good things. and finally i checked my vitamin d level and it was low. it was about 25. the normal value should be over 30. we like you to be 40 to 50. that's ideal. the best thing is first check your vitamin d level and find out what it is. then you can supplement it. in this particular study, they're finding out that low vitamin d can actually lead to

atherosclerosis or heart disease. there's no cause and effect. there th is just an association. but, look, over the years you've seen how many times we talk about the fact that vitamin d is low, it can lead to aggressive prostate cancer, diabetes, dementia, alzheimer's. this is a real hormone that you need to be aware of. >> it was interesting to say researchers were looking at vitamin d levels in children. i just had a baby. that was one of the things the pediatrician told me, i must give my infant vitamin d supplement, which i thought was interesting. for parents is there any sort of guideline about giving their children vitamins? is there a way to take too much vitamin d? >> absolutely. if you take too much, you can cause more harm. it can lead to more calcium and kid any stones, et cetera. this is actually good information to have out there. teenagers should know what their vitamin d levels are. we never thought about this in that way. >> no. >> in this study, they're finding out if your vitamin d is low through your teenage years

as you become older in your adulthood, you can have a higher chance of heart disease. this is a really brand-new news that's coming up. so yes, i think it's good to check your blood tests find out your vitamin d levels and talk to your doctor and adjust it slowly. recommendation is to get 600 iu per day and then after three months you can check to see what your vitamin d is. i personally take about 2,000 units. >> you do? >> i do. >> you seem really happy and healthy. maybe we'll go with that. >> it does work. it really does. now, if you're in sunny areas, make sure you roll up your sleeves. your skin has to be exposed. >> do you still get vitamin d if you wear sunscreen? >> no. that's another reason why we're paying so much attention to vitamin d, because we have gone so much overboard with this skin lotions and risk of melanoma. you want to be careful. i think in the california area and warm areas, if you're out there three times a week, just ten minutes of exposure to the sun is going to give you enough

vitamin d. >> that's very interesting. depends on the region. make sure you get vitamin d levels checked. >> or you can follow my lead. >> take a bunch. i think i might try it. doctor, great to see you. john? another american journalist believed held hostage in syria. austin tice missing now for 2 1/2 years. is it time to rethink american policy on hostages? you'll lear from his parents coming up. ere do you hear that beat? campbell's healthy request soup lets you hear it in your heart.
