on the road? let's get to it. good thursday afternoon to you and yours. more on that news the united states reached an agreement with turkey to train and arm the, quote, moderate syrian rebels unquote, who are in theory fighting the islamic state. two senior defense department officials confirm the deal directly to fox news. turkey, of course, is right on the syrian border and is a nato ally. and officials say that turkish government agreed to host troops for training. congress has already set aside $500 million to help train and equip the so-called moderate syrian rebels which have thus far proved to be quite elusive. and the pentagon reports it's already screened hundreds of rebels who could take part in that mission. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon. what makes this agreement significant? >> reporter: well, shepard u.s.
12:02 pm
officials confirmed the agreement was signed not long ago at the u.s. embassy in turkey details have not been released as of yet but in essence turkey is expected to host one of throw anticipated)&wwóvçy;çç training sites. in the fall congress passed legislation to train and equipment 5,000 moderate syrian rebels agreeing to a budget request of $500 million. no training has begun, and until recently few pentagon officials could provide any names of those considered leaders of the so-called moderate syrian opposition. >> i mentioned u.s. officials say they have already screened hundreds of these quote mod moderate syrian rebels. it's so unbelievable that it can't even say the words. >> yesterday rear admiral john kirby said the dod has identified 1200 moderate syrian rebels. he said the training is&gkñ expected to begin in the middle of march. the army's major general will be
12:03 pm
leading the training mission. he has been the point man on the ground in jordan working with that country's special operations forces. already 100 u.s. trainers have been sent to the middle east to help the general. >> about 200 people we have -- that the general and his team, with our interagency and international partners, identified as potentials for the whole syria training and equip program. >> in an interesting about, face former u.s. ambassador to syria, record ford, pushing for arming the syrian opposition for months, now say the rebels favored by turkey and qatar are indistinguishable from isis, and he says after visiting rebel leaders in turkey, his views evolved and he estimates there are fewer than 20,000 moderate rebels and they are overwhelmed right now by the more radical al qaeda linked nusra front. >> talk?3ómiwkoñçç about mission creep.
12:04 pm
next we arm these people and then history tells us after that they use the weapons against us, recent history. >> well, you know your history, and the other interesting point is there were reports earlier this week they were planning to allow these syrian -- these trained syrian opposition to perhaps call in b-1 air the pentagon has pushed back on the reports, but even the idea that there won't forward operators to call in airstrikes and provide cover for the group of several thousand opposition seems like much too little too late. >> jennifer?ñ?a it won't take long. we spent close to a trillion dollars, lost thousands of lives and spent an entire decade training that iraqi army, which melted away and gave all of our weapons to the people who now want us dead. and there are 1200 moderate syrian rebels who are now going to be trained and now we're
12:05 pm
talking about arming them. the training will take a minimum of a year, they say. also known as mission creep. european leaders claim the cease fire in ukraine can still work. that's what european leaders claim. but ukraine and russia are at odds over how to make that happen after the russian-backed rebels took control of a key town in the eastern part of ukraine. it is a major transportation hub, which is why the russians want it, for eastern earthquake. -- eastern earthquake. ukraine stopped shipments of nature gas. why send natural gas to your enemies. officials claim the fighting damaged the transit system. now reuters reports russia already started shipping gas to the region from russia. inside:ççç that town russian-backed rebels celebrated, waving a bloodied ukrainian flag before it's stomped into the ground.
12:06 pm
ukrainian officials say 90% of the troops are gone. some left behind tanks, or gifts as the rebels call them. you can see the bullet holes fresh on the ukrainian vehicles. government forces say the attacks had been> translator: they were shelling the entire town. starting at night, they would fire at us just to stop us some sleeping. first grenade launchers then rockets, cluster bombs. they did this all night. and then in the morning they would attack. wave after wave. >> all this, more evidence that the so-called cease fire does not exist. even as leaders from france and germany say they're determined to salvage what doesn't exist. greg palkot is in ukraine's capital kiev. >> reporter: we're getting a clearer idea tonight of the deep russian involvement in this major defeat. we have been telling you the
12:07 pm
rebels have been using sophisticated russianáz ,ç weaponry to playground that strategic town in eastern ukraine. now in the first images inside the town, there is proof that among those conducting the battle, the cossack fighters from russia. they have been acting in the last couple of months as go-betweens for moscow to the rebels and they have reportedly been responsible for a lot of bad stuff including the downing in july of that airliner mh17. we're also getting a better sense of the scale of the loss. aian -- ukrainian official saying thibles are holding 92 ukrainian soldiers as prisoners and 82 soldiers are missing. the rebels displayed some of the p.o.w.s today and an÷çç official told us 14 ukrainian soldiers died in the@awc:@a defeat. we have been hearing significantly higher numbers. >> greg, now ukraine's president says he want thursday the uted
12:08 pm
nations to send in peaceke52 right? >> reporter: it's a bit a sign of the powerlessness of ukrainian president. the gathered his national security chiefs last night. the best he could come up with is the call for u.n. peacekeepers t o monitor east in -- peace in the east and there should be in russians in the team. russia quickly knocked the idea down and their proxy rebelled did the same. poroshenko spoke on the day with vladimir putin as well as the leaders of germany and france, all still claiming a peace deal will go forward, but ten minutes ago we heard from our contact in donetsk, a major city in eastern ukraine, active shelling tonight, and hearing about heavy fighting in the southern ukrainian city just outside that city. and no heavy weapon pullout which was supposed to start two
12:09 pm
days ago. one more line he said today let me quote him there will be a rapid reaction if there are anymore violations from the rebels and the russians. that's what he is saying. think it was called a credibility gap in the vietnam days. back to you. >> let's turn to john bussey, the associate editor of "the wall street journal." seems like what we get is a load of crap and what we're getting here is a load of crap. the russians want these towns connected and want a land bridge to crima, they're taking it and that's it. >> does not sound like a cease fire. >> it's not a cease fire. >> this sounds like the failure of the last cease fire. there's a small glimmer of light here a small one. our reporter says there's ÷)ae slight cessation of shelling but that could start up again. u.s. satellites say more
12:10 pm
material from the russians are coming into the rebel strongholds and the fight over the town a rail hub so it's strategic. rail iline goes in and out and they control that. the ukrainians had to retreat. the idea of withdrawing hey weapons can of a cease fire, of constitutional reforms to give this region more autonomy, none of that seems to be happening. >> on this other matter, of isis, first of all what isis said -- isis' leaders for the most part are not religious fundmentalityists, not muslim extremists they're foreigner baathists who sat around smoking and drinking with saddam hussein who is gone and now they're leading this thing. this horrible bunch of terrorists. they want this to become a holy war. nothing would serve their purposes more for theq?e-hd world to see this as a holy war because it would be a terrific recruiting thing and for them to see christians lined up against muslims. not a holy war.=
12:11 pm
but that's the new what are we doing? >> well, it has been an effective recruiting --xfw") >> very. >> 20,000 jihaddists moved into the region from4 other countries and other areas. looks like it's working. now the u.s. is talking about having some alliance with a faction of the rebels in syria, which is very tricky business. the u.s. is looking at this and saying we need to have some kind of proxy here. >> have to do something. >> doing the fighting. so you train these people outside ofañmo+nw3 syria don't expose u.s. forces to what is going on in syria. you do it in turkey, a nato ally. you have some connection to what is happening on the ground. whether they are ultimately allowed to call in bomber strikes or not, at least they're communicating with americans who can do so. >> yet, their main thing is not a fight against isis. their main thing is about their thoughts beliefs, their area and this problem in syria. the thing that we're into?
12:12 pm
they're not into it. >> they are to the extend -- >> but they're into our weapons. they want our weapons. >> they're into a thing we're into to the extent they are as threatened by isis as the west feels it is threatened. this is the immediate threat to this group. so if your enemy of your enemy is your friend, this is an instance where there can be a possible alliance between u.s. interests and what is going on in syria and that is the fight against isis. >> in a best-case scenario the rebels are trained use our weapons, fight off isis they put them back, and then what happens to the land? >> those rebel does those things you described and then feel some kind of affinity with the west affinity with the turks, awe natowfé1g0 a lot can go wrong on the road to the best case. >> kind of dreamy. >> may not be.
12:13 pm
who knows. but at the end of the day, you have to do something. >> have to do something. have to be seen as doing something. >> and you have to actually do something. >> thank you. first, the russians invaded crima, then they supported the rebels in eastern ukraine. now their bombers are flying to the edges of europe air space. what's vladimir doing? that's next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ great rates for great rides. geico motorcycle see how much you could save.

>> british defense officials scrambled fighter jets to intercept two russian bombers. the britts against the russians. the latest sign their president vladimir putin is bringing back an old cold war tactic of testing the air space of western nations. the brits say the bombers were flying near the coast of cornwall in southwest evening land yesterday. they say the russian planes stayed in international air space but got close to and the british jets escort ited them out of the area. last month they flew through the english channel. a russian tv station released video only the incident from inside a bomber. and last fall officials in sweden say they launched a search operation to find a suspected russian submarine. that turned out to be a load of nothing. brian's defense minimummer says russia is a quote real and

12:23 pm
she sped away and went home and picked up her son who had his gun, and then they went out to try t o find the suspects. here's where itñçñçsn gets murky. they found the suspect. we don't know how or where. and police say this woman, myers, and her son, drove around the neighborhood for ten minutes in effort's to find him, and the cops say this -- this is the suspect -- cops say the woman found the silver sedan that had road raged her in her estimation and then followed it a while and police say the silver car then drove up and one of two things happened. either somebody in the silver car shot to at this woman and killed her, or somebody from the woman's car --i house fired first. and now this is a las vegas neighborhood they have surrounded. there's a suspect there a man who tried to come up to this neighborhood. we have a reporter on scene. let's listen. >> yelling and screaming about what was going on here and how
12:24 pm
this guy -- this animal he said, was living just a block a. then the police kind of pushed him back and asked him to leave and that's what he did as other police officers started to move into the area. so a lot more police officers here now than 15 or 25 minutes ago. another indication that possibly they are getting ready to move in and try to apprehend the suspect in whatever means is necessary. >> that's our reporter from fox 5 in vegas kbbu. here's what we know. there are lot of unresolved questions on this because the stories have changed on this indent from the very beginning. in the beginning the story was that this woman went home and the -- her son shot at this guy who was annoying her, and hee3w?!v-ñáv:w3 shot the woman and killed her. then later we found out actually the woman went out to find this guy, and her side of the story is that when she did, they went back home, and the suspect shot
12:25 pm
her in the head. that's what her son says. now they're planning a funeral and it's awful. listen to the reporter. i jumped -- >> the fact of the matter -- >> what happened here? we know whoever shot this woman in the head is still missing and it's possible maybe they found a suspect on this river drive in vegas. listen. >> probably on loudspeakers for 40-45 minutes telling him to come out the house is surrounded, they were not leaving. however, he did not. we had the hospital metro helicopter hovering overhead for an hour. helicopter is not here now but there are, again more police officers who are present here at the scene, and don't know exactly when or what they are planning on doing2zvuúyvqmñt=" %hé&ssgjiu@t 5 there's any nego%q%=9 eetq u$ere's a lot of police activity in this area. >> is this the person who shot the woman in the head and killed
12:26 pm
her, the mother of this young man who had his weapon expired at the suspect? we don't know but we know that police seem to believe it is. listen. [inaudible] >> obviously the anchor is asking a very long question. we're dipping into local coverage and on get one side -- >> on the street where the family lived they had a whole bunch of media there, including cnn, couple of other media, trying to make this story and build on this story that -- on the information we had up until now, and then as soon as the helicopter started hovering over the street right next door right behind them, that's when they all sort of moved over into the area we are right now. this is cherry river drive. >> our station fox 5 in las vegas, and you heard him say the
12:27 pm
national media including cnn, were around, and then they realized they have some sort of a suspect there sorjtpt the police surrounded it. you heard him say for 45 minutes they had a chopper overhead. now it sounds as if there is a suspect. is he -- these are live pictures. is he suspected of being the one who killed this woman? well, on that matter police are not clear. they sent out a notice, and all they sent out was for reporters to back up from this scene for public safety reasons. they back up all the reporters. so this is a crime story now that we have been following for a few days. it's a horrible set of circumstances, with this woman being shot and killed. the different stories on what happened here leave everybody asking lots of questions, and'll get a little charity on this we'll take you back live there to las vegas as the standoff continues. >> we're approaching the bottom of the hour and the top of the

(woman) the constipation and belly pain feel tight like a vise. how can i ease this pain? (man) when i can't go, it's like rocks piling up. i wish i could find some relief. (announcer) ask your doctor about linzess-- a once-daily capsule for adults with ibs with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation. linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements. it helps you proactively manage your symptoms. do not give linzess to children under 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include, gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. bottom line, ask your doctor about linzess today.

>> president obama says the idea that the western world is at war with islam is an ugly lie. the president speaking to officials from more than 60 nations on the last day of the white house summit on fighting violent extremism. officials said one of the goals of the meeting is to broaden the response to terrorism beyond military action. president obama says all nations have a responsibility to confront what he called warped ideology and arab nations in particular need continue crease educational and economic opportunities in their country. ed henry is live at the white house. >> bottom line is that what the president is trying to say we need to get at the root causes of terror, not just battle isis, al qaeda and other groups militarily. republicans have said, they're all for using social media and other tools to push back on the
12:34 pm
propaganda from these terror groups but they also think the military piece is critical. what's why you sow john mccain say he believes we need to send u.s. ground troops at least into iraq to battle isis but as you know there might not be a lot of support on capitol hill for that as the president sent up the authorization for the use of military force against isis. it was very carefully written because a lot of democrats in particular have said they do not want to have an open-ended war with a lot of u.s. ground troops going. >> ed henry at the white house. thank you. a deadly super bug outbreak in a top hospital in los angeles has killed at least two people, and now that hospital's warning lots of other patients that they too may have been exposed. this is happening at ucla medical center. according to the hospital, medical instruments contained the -- contaminated with the super bug infected seven patients two patients have died. but the hospital is culling the
12:35 pm
super bug a contributing factor rather than cause of death. a spokeswoman says 179 patients at the hospital were exposed to the bacteria between october and january. doctors say the super bug is resist stand to common antibiotics. the hospital claims staffers followed procedures, sterilized the medical instruments but they still may have been contaminated. the u.s. la medical center is one of the top five hops in -- five hospitals in the country. will carr is outside the hospital of this super bug is dangerous. >> reporter: very dangerous. the super bug referred to as cre, has a very high fatility rate killing 40% to 55% of people once the infection is in their blood stream and that's why it sparked so many concerns. >> i'm surprised this is evening happening. it's scary. >> what can you do to fight
12:36 pm
against that? >> the fda is now warning hospitals and medical establish. s across the country about endoscopes, the instruments that in this case spread the cre to from patient to patient. even when they're sterilized they could still spread the bacteria. the good news is thatv+çç?;ñç;e1çmç cre is not an airborne disease so not as contagious as something like the measles. >> what's the thinking on the risk to other hospitals here? >> well, we have seen nearly half a dozen e outbreak -- cre outbreaks since 20 126789 they say instruments need to be sterilized and also say they're needs to not be an overreliance on antibiotics and there also needs to be new antibiotics created to make sure they can fight back against these superbugs. >> thanks, will carr, at the ronald reagan ucla medical center.
12:37 pm
the same risky lending that helped trigger the financial crisis is happening again. according to the reporting of "the wall street journal," the number of lones to borrowers with low credit scores is hard. many of the new lopes are for car buyers and others from new lending companies facing less scrutiny. almost four of every ten loans went into subprime boyer rowers -- borrowers last year. gerri willis is here. they didn't change the rules. >> it's interesting when you compare it to what happened few years ago. shadow banks put out 50 million loans, 189 billion they have lent out to people with credit scores below 640. the top is 850. not giving them your last dollar. >> and you get to charge them more. >> the terms are worse rates are higher. th!& xw çç the way it works.
12:38 pm
and 41% of folks during the meltdown had sub prime loans, very similar. >> are they secure tieing to the loans. >> yes. >> bundling them and selling them just like last time. >> all over again. here's the good news. sounds like this is 2008 all over again. auto loans are a smaller éqll]ñ proportion of the overall economy compared to mortgages. mortgages are huge. a car is something very different. but this!mbç,# still doesn't bode well because let's say we have a shock to# something happens to the economy. i don't know. terrorists or whatever. gas price goes to the sky all of a sudden. these folks might stop paying. that wouldn't be good for the economy. >> and in general in general terms, these are not richer people. they're poorer people. they're the ones who need the car so bad to get to work, and that is the concern on that end of the economic spectrum. >> but there's another story here, too. overall debt from consumers is higher as well, in the fourth quarter,z!=c3-óvçñy=(t(w 3mççç
12:39 pm
up $118 billion. now at 11.7 trillion. just below -- we're cruising just below the highest debt ever in 2007. so, think about it. things are starting -- stock market is on fire, the debt is a record high. you get this feeling of déjà vu. >> hope not. hope is not a strategy, though. >> no, hope is not a strategy. >> we're learning more from the trial of the woman accused of murdering her young son by poisoning him with salt. the testimony on the boy's final days and just how much salt was in his system at the time. death by salt. think of it. the mom next.
12:42 pm
12:43 pm
through his feeding tube. a doctor testified the boy would have had to drink five bottles filled with salt water for his sodium level to spike the way it did. lacy spears, the mom, may have been trying from people who follow her on social media. but defense attorneys say there's no proof of that, but some background for you. the mother brought her son to the hospital last year. soon afterwards doctors say his sodium levels rose to a dangerous point without any medical explanation. they say his brain swelled. he had seizures and eventually dropped dead. court documents show in the day before the son's death the mother looked up on her computer dangers of high sodium and insulins poisoning with suicidal intent.
12:44 pm
prosecutors have a lot of circumstantial, and dan shore is here, a former prosecutor. this is sick. >> a horrible case, really depressing. the prosecution isn't charging intention intentional. they're charging depraved indifference murder which means extremely reckless behavior with a disregard for human life. >> penalties the same. >> a the same, 25 to life and murder in the second degree. >> the allegation is mom needs attention so she starts pouring salt down the feeding tube. >> right. it's a circumstantial case butmdç circumstancal indicates can be strong. to n her home the police found salt, sodium bags with content she asked a neighbor to take it out of the house and the woman did that and then turned it over to police and she said she did online research about the dangers of sodium. >> this neighbor didn't know why -- the testimony indicates she didn't know why the mom wanted this bag of salt out of the house.
12:45 pm
okay, you want a bag of salt out of the house. >> a feeding bag with sodium content so extremely incriminating to show that evidence. the defense is saying they never introducedsidum into the boy's feeding tube. >> the neighbor is completely cooperating with police. >> right. >> the same police who found on the computer the search terms. >> right, she was looking into sodium, the mq dangers of high sodium. in the hospital there's a point where the son is going to be released and then video shows the mother taking the son into the bathroom multiple times holding the connection to his speeding tube and right after that there's a spike of his sodium level and he dies a few days later. >> a question with no specific answer is, how much circumstantial evidence is enough circumstantial evidence in there's no answer but there's a jury to make the decision. >> the standard is, is the prosecution able to show beyond a reasonable doubt she showed
12:46 pm
depraved indistance by introducing the sodium. >> it doesn't make much difference but if these circumstantial evidence -- if -- if it adds up and the prosecutors are right she did murder her child. >> it is murder, just not intention intentional. deplayed indifference. it's similar to if i took a machine gun and started firing around the room but didn't intend to kill somebody, it would still be murder because of my depraved indifference. >> what she wanted was attention, and followers on social media. >> that's the prosecution's theory. she certainly publicized her plight with the son who is sick toñ
