"happening now" starts right now. >> a fox news alert. many people are feeling the coolest air that the united states experienced in 15 or 20 years. >> temperatures in the negative 20s as arctic windsroar over the northern sections of the country. we are covering all of the news "happening now". >> isis is not stupid. they know that the centerpiece of any counter offensive is mosul. >> the u.s. stepping up the mission againsti sis. and the plans are being made public. is showing our cards a bad idea? >> plus the united states of america. >> and the 1980 u.s. olympics

hockey team, 35 years ago, these players captivated and inspired the entire nation. we'll talk to the team captain. >> and normal people like me. >> a top nutritional panel recommend that americans stop eating red meat. and the reason behind it is not likely what you think. it is all "happening now". >> hope you are staying warm on this friday. we'll get to the top story. we learned that 800000 people enrolled in obama care will be forced to wait to file their tax returns, welcome to "happening now", i am jon scott. >> tax season is rough enough already. >> hi everybody, i am jennaly. and they put in the wrong tax information and putting this

year's pricing for last year's returns and they made a similar error to the state exchange. and the revelation coming days after the president touted a successful enrollment season. >> the big problem for 800000 enrollees. they received faulty forms and 50,000 people who used the wrong numbers to fill out this year's tax return will have to do it again. and 750,000 people are told by the feds they should wait to file. this impacts people who signed up for the second cheapest silver level plans which is one out of 14 people that enrolled before the deadline and reaction from republican law had maker ares has been harsh. diane black who writes about refunds being delayed and this is beyond embarrassing for president obama and an unfair

blow to taxpayers who are once again left holding the bag for it the administration's incompetence. we saw president obama speak an hour after the news broke but he had a positive attitude. >> we extended the security and fundmental rights to affordable health care to more than 10 million uninsured americans. >> and another huge help health care headline today. last week's deadline to enroll was not a deadline. there will be a special enrollment period for people who didn't sign up because they didn't realize having no coverage would get them fined and there is new analysis. four out of every ten uninsured americans are obaliffous that there is a penalty. and as to how the forms got so messed up i was e-mailing a spokesman for ems and all he

wrote back was they are looking into it. >> peter, thank you. >> as you just heard those enrollees. will have to get adjusted tax forms after a black eye again for obama care and healthcare.gov. we'll talk to the senior writer for u.s. news and wormed report. so a million people will have to wait to get the tax refunds if they filed them. 50,000 foiled them. and they will have to refile sdmem that is basically one out of every ten people who are signed up with obama care. and not a great traffic record, david. >> no it will leave bad taste in more people's mouth around tax season and a time of year that most people don't like to begin with. and looking at the government website, they will contact everyone that is affected again. i guess a million people right

now. that number could grow higher. we are not sure by phone or e-mail and telling people to hold off on filing taxes and in listening to your previous report when people are confused about the penalties involved for obama care, are they going to know to hold off and what are the repercussions if they don't hold off and continue to file their taxes? >> bottom line it is another headache. and another taint in the obama care system and not the biggest kink given the website problems they went through last year. not a promising one to the start of another year when they are trying to get the program implemented. >> and talking about the rer percussions and what are the repercussions for who was responsible for the mistake. if amazon.com walmart or a major american company screwed

things up for a million people if you add in the california numbers, there would be heads rolling and in government that never seems to it happen. >> i think you will see republicans seize on this, and the chairs of the oversight investigative committees that are looking into the obama care problems previously are going to be on this precisely because it is about tax its and people don't like taxes and when their refund is delayed or the wrong amount, that is going to get people's attention. and i think you will probably see republicans try to hold some level of accountability because of the potency of the tax issue. and look, this is money coming in people's pockets and people budget on what they will do for the vacation or rest of the year based on tax refund. this is real- life stuff. you will see an attempt by republicans to hold the

democrats and obama administration accountable. >> and in order to get you to take your medicine, the government announces you will be penalized if you don't sign up for an obama care. and a bunch of people didn't sign up and the government said you didn't know you were going to get penalized through your taxes and we'll extend the window and give you more time to sign up. >> that's the problem with the penalty phase of the obama care. were they ever going to implement it? >> they have drawn a redline to take a different metaphor and keep moving that redline. now you will be penalized and they kept moving the penalty and now a new open enrollment period and sort of shoes, if you are out there and don't want to sign up. why will this be the last period that i need to sign up? you keep moving that line, it takes away the power of the penalty in the first place.

counter offensive is mosul. they have been prepared with iedand booby traps and they know an attack is coming. we are aiding and abetting the enemy and still going to expose our forces to certain risk because they will do a lot of defensive preparation. ied's and different force posilgzs and knowing an attack is coming. >> mosul fell to isil in june. the iraqi prime minister talked to the bbc and he said we are now planning an feps fencive on mosul. the operations would begin in the next few months and what is happening, the u.s. and iraqi leadership are trying to counter the narrative that isis is winning with the propaganda videos. >> that is a point to pay attention to. and those of yous who missed. it what did centcomofficial say?

>> reporter: he was saying it started around mosul today. the assault will begin in april or may time frame and estimate ramp up by holy month of ramma dan. and i am told the time frame could slip if the iraqis are not ready. the force will include five army brigades and three kurdish brigades will be stationed to the north as a blocking force and right now 3200 iraqi troops are completing u.s. military training and some suggestion among the u.s. officials that having 25000 iraqi forces trained by april may be a stretch jenna. >> jennifer, thank you. >> here is a surprise. top nutritional panel in america recommend when you eat, you eat with the environment in mind. what that means for your diet

than the current u.s. diet. adderholmakes the case that taxes on certain foods and environmental sustainability are outside of the purview. red meat is linked to a larger carbon foot print and they are offering global environment scientist saying we should eat less meat. north american meat institute said ten pounds of beef or pork give more consumed than rice or broccoli. and argued that the issue of sustainability is beyond the scope and expertise and said they a pore based on personal opinions and social agendas. law makers urged the nutritional panel to stick to nutritional advice. the guidelines are due out this year. >> rice and broccoli versus a pork chop.

segments. the way it works is that because we've been using our antibiotics for so many years the bugs are now getting smarter and getting basically immune to our antibiotics. we haven't been really investing a lot of money and research on new antibiotics so we're kind of running out of this and the bugs are getting more resistant. >> we have invested. you see the huge market for cleaning supplies, right? sanitation is such a big industry. it must be a huge industry inside the hospital. the suggestion is that some of this equipment being used just wasn't clean. >> well, let me just say i don't want to start a big fear that if you go to the hospital -- we're still taking care of millions of patients. 170, even though it's not a big number, it's still a big concern. and this superbugs we're going to talk about more. it's not going to ing toing to ing toing to stop here. it's a real serious problem, and we're seeing more and more as contamination with stool, urine.

in this mrafr case it was a scope that was contaminated. so every surgery center, every hospital should really go way out of their way to make sure that their equipment is sterilized really cleaned. so we don't have these cases. some of it is completely unavoidable. it doesn't matter what you do. these bugs can survive for a long time and unfortunately something we have to deal with. >> definitely scary. i want to ask you about a new government report urging us to really think about the environment when we're making food choices and thinking about more plant-based food choices versus the hamburger out there. dr. samadi, what do you think of that philosophy how we choose our food? >> we've always talked about the mediterranean diet. i think it's common sense at this point. i think if you have once in a while a burger it's not really going to hurt you. moderation is the key. but sticking to a plant-based diet is the way to go. fruits and vegetables, three servings a day is what we've always recommended. >> you're saying motivation

whether it's the environment or otherwise, it's just logic. >> i'm not into the whole global warming. today i was talking about global freezing. i'm not into plants versus the cows it will change the environment. i'm sure i'll get a lot of e-mails about this. but for your health, i'm a doctor, sticking to the plant-based foods is absolutely the way to go. reduce the inflammation, reduce colon cancer and everybodything else. don't forget about coffee. we've been talking about that a lot. >> one of the dietary recommendations, really to embrace coffee drinking. unfortunately we can't get to that, because we have to go to commercial. >> i'll put it on my twitter account. >> he posts fun pictures on his twitter. here is a warm fuzzy on a chilly friday in many parts of our country. a couple of critters just enjoying their snow day.
