support the coalition. in fact, we should demand arab members of the coalition put boots on the ground and when you win then you can throw your job fairs. stay safe, america. thanks for spending your saturday with us. i'm leland vittert welcome to "america's news headquarters" live from a very snowy washington, d.c. >> indeed it's snowing quite hard. i'm uma pemmaraju and here is what's making thus right now. ukraines remember a mournful day that took dozens of lives and was a terrible sign of things to come this that nation as the fighting goes on another agreement aimed at ending the conflict falls apart. tox news exclusive as ukraine's prime minister talks about the state of the latest ceasefire, a live report. >> the new defense secretary is on the ground in afghanistan. he says more u.s. troops might stay longer than planned. we'll have a live report on this change in u.s. strategy.
9:01 am
snow s arctic temperatures leaving the nation in a big deep freeze and it's not over yet folks. for the winter weary it's nothing you want to hear but we've got what you need to hear, the extreme weather forecast coming your way shortly. but we begin with this knocks news alert we are hearing that a minneapolis police officer has been hospitalized in stable condition at this hour after being shot standing at his car following a burglary call. the minneapolis police chief issuing a statement saying a police officer was the intended target and this officer happened to be the one who was there. right now at this hour no one remains this custody an active search of that area is underway. in ukraine the prime minister now says quote, there is no ceasefire in the eastern part of his country. it didn't take long, just a week ago ukraine's military and russian backed separatists agreed to lay down their weapons. now the fighting conditions as
9:02 am
more heavy weapons pour in from russia. greg palkot is in kiev. greg. >> reporter: leland the latest world from ukrainian officials here is that russia backed rebels are on the move again. they're said to be moving rocket launchers from the scene of the defeat this week of ukrainian military in a dee town of debaltseve toward the government held city of mare i don't knowel as they open up a new front. all this happening during what is supposed to be a ceasefire. earlier today we sat down with ukraine ukraine's prime minister it was his first interview in the ten days since the signing of the troubled minutes k peace agreement. i asked him first has the ceasefire collapsed? >> we are very far from the collapse and do you know why? we don't have the ceasefire. >> there is no carry fire. >> no.
9:03 am
ceasefire means that no one shoots. daisy fire means that russian led terrorists do not make any kind of ongoing and rolling shell lgs that they do not kill ukrainian soldiers and innocent people. >> reporter: he went on to say that putin violated the agreement by allowing his rooms and the rebels to kill ukrainian soldiers and civilians. i went on to ask the prime minister what he thought putin wanted. >> one can see that putin just wants ukraine. no doubt. that putin wants to take over ukraine. but let me provide you a bigger scope. what's really the ultimate goal of president putin? he's fighting not just with us, he's fighting with you. he's fighting with all of us. >> reporter: it must be said that ukraine is reportedly guilty of its own ceasefire violations, also must be said
9:04 am
that putin's line is that there are no russian troops and no russian weaponry on u rain soil. to which the prime minister added to me, he's the only guy who says that. leland. >> i was going to say there's not too many people who agree with mr. putin on his assessment. we know we're going to hear more about your interview and what the prime minister has to say later on our broadcast. >> ash carter has been on the job just a few days but the new defense secretary is already putting u.s. policy in afghanistan and you review and getting a firsthand look at the situation on the ground. in kabul carter saying the u.s. might slow its military exit from afghanistan. peter doocy joining us how with more on the details of what he had to say. >> and uma the reason the obama administration is considering a slow down in their pull out of afghanistan isn't because things are going poorly in fact they think the opposite is true and the newly formed government in afghanistan is in better shape
9:05 am
than they expect so now they want to help it succeed. we heard from the defense secretary ash carter he said our priority now is 20 make sure this progress sticks. that is why president obama is considering a number of options to reinforce our support for president ganni's security strategy including possible changes to the timeline for our draw down of u.s. troops. this announcement does not represent a change in policy at least not right now, but secretary carter also announced that other changes could be to the way u.s. troops are used to afghanistan and the way american bases in that country are shut down. afghan president will be in d.c. next month and he will sit down with president obama at the white house to discuss. >> the grounds for piece have never been better in the last 36 years. our approach is productive,
9:06 am
we're hopeful but categorical answers am a peace process are dangerous. >> today there are about 10,000 u.s. troops on the ground in afghanistan, the plan has been to cut that down to about 5,000 which the end of this year and pull everybody out by the end of 2016. now, though, there's a chance president obama may decide to keep them longer, but of course that means there is also a chance that he decides to stick to this this schedule. uma. >> thank you very much. in west virginia a train carrying more than 3 million gallons of crude oil jumped the tracks and ignited a fireball that you're seeing right now that left several towns evacuated. crews scrambled to clean up the oil before it could then seep into a nearby river the fires burned for days. many experts argue also a way to prevent these train crashes and spills, simply build a pipeline to transport the oil. here on capitol hill the debate over the ketone xl pine line is
9:07 am
as hot as that fireball in west virginia. congress approved the project before leaving for the recess and will send the bill to the president's desk this week. republican strategist fox news contributor ed roll lynn's is here to discuss. the latest poll shows that 65% of americans think the president should sign the bill and allow the pipeline. the president says in no uncertain terms he will veto it. is is he putting himself on the strong side of history with this promise. >> essay settlement tempting to apiece environmentalists at the end of the day there's no environmental impasse negative to this pipeline. passed in the senate by 62 votes, passed in the house by 270 votes, the people of nebraska where it goes through has basically the governor, the state legislature the state courts have all basically proved the environmental stuff. it means -- canada is our most important ally and the idea that we're not going to take their
9:08 am
oil and produce it and transport it in the safest way possible which is what pipelines are is just absurd and it's the most approximate petty politics i think i've ever seen in washington. >> you say that this petty politics and certainly there's a light of bipartisan support from keystone a lot of democrats that have come out in favor for it. is this a potential for a veto override or is there simply not enough votes in the senate from democrats to cross the aisle? >> it would take six for senate vote to pass it. i think this is the first major veto the president has made. he has drawn the line in the sand and going to make it a loyalty test not on the issue, per se, but on the politics of it. my sense is it's going to be very difficult to overvied his veto. >> as you talk about the politics of this how break down for folks who don't really -- aren't in the weeds here when it comes to keystone, what is the argument that the liberals and other democrats are using against this? you have something 65% of
9:09 am
americans are for, that's a pretty large number in a poll only 22% say the president should veto. what is that 22% and why is the president so beholden to them. >> there's always a segment to the population that doesn't want anything that deals with oil and crude oil in tick and that's their argument, their argument is if you provide more oil you provide more usage of it. my sense with all the chaos going on in the middle east the fact that we can get a significant amount of oil, at leleast 10%, 15% of what we need every day to import from canada, again, our closest ally, is just absurd, it's an absurd argument and i don't think it has any merit. this will create jobs and be a safe way to transport it at the end of the day it will basically give us more independence and a giant step towards our own independence which long-term is what we have to reach. >> over the past couple of years we've seen some really deadly crashes as it relates to trains carrying crude oil in quebec 47
9:10 am
people died when a train jumped the tracks, leveled part of a town, the james river there was a massive spill into here in virginia just a few months ago when a train jumped the tracks and filled over spilled a bunch of oil out. at some level if there's some other major disaster in the next six to eight months, 12 months and people could really point to keystone and say this would be prevented this in a very clear way, does that mean the president is going to have to revisit things or if it's vetoed is it dead? >> i think he considering it debt but i don't think the congress considers it dead. i think it's too important long-term to american independence and particularly independence in the middle east import. over and over again we see examples of what we just saw with the rail crash. it is the most safe way as to transport by pipeline. there's very minimal damage ever been done to pipe linus. trains are at risk the infrastructure in many trains are endangered as is much of our infrastructure across this
9:11 am
country. anything can basically have an impact on this and we see this terrible tragedy that you highlighted here right there. we need to basically transport oil as safely as we can, take care of one of our most important allies, have a great partnership and we've always had with canada, provide new jobs and provide cheaper oil long-term to americans. >> we'll see if the president keeps his promise in the coming week. ed roll lynn's we appreciate your insight, sir. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> the white house in damage control at this moment as it deals with a big set back over the issue ofth actions on immigration, this following a federal judge's ruling blocking the president's actions to protect millions of illegal immigrants from deportation. the white house says it will speak to block that ruling and fight on. if the stay is granted the president would have the option of going forthwith work permits for illegal immigrants while this issue is being ordered in court. it looks like there has been a break through in that heated labor dispute for west coast
9:12 am
dock workers, the tentative deal with end the stalemate that has tied up international trade at sea ports handling trillions of dollars of cargo each year. >> tomorrow the ports are going to get back to work the companies have committed to reopen the ports open the doors, get all the shifts working so the workers can get in there and make sure that folks get the containers that they've been waiting so long for. >> now, the five-year deal must still be approved by the 13,000 member union. the latest in the debate over the strategy against isis terrorists. this as president obama continues to stay away from calling those terrorists radical islamists. we'll have a reaction coming up. plus much of the nation is in a deep freeze, no relief in sight from the bone chilling temperatures and some very dangerous icy conditions. it's tough going as we speak in many states right now we're going to bring you the latest along with janice dean and her forecast. plus.
9:13 am

al qaeda and isil and groups like it are desperate for legitimacy. had they try to portray themselves as religious leaders, holy warriors in defense of islam. that's how they recruit that's how they try to radicalize young people. >> president obama this week once again avoiding direct comments about the threat of islamic extremists this happening against a back drop of that three day white house summit on violent extremism. critics are outraged that at a tile when brutal a pros tease dominate the isis agenda the white house does not act on confronting the jihadist. joining us the author of the battle for the soul of islam dr. gentleman'ser. welcome, sir. >> great to be with you. thanks for having me. >> there is heated debate over the priorities of this
9:18 am
administration as isis continues its murderous rampage across the middle east. the kurds and jordanians have been pleading for more ammunition and basic military hardware to help them hold back the jihadists and mean while the president hold a summit looking at the underlying cause of terrorism and pro claims it's a lack of jobs. what did you make of of his comments. >> it just continues the same old failed policies. back in 2011 they released this strategy which basically is called countering violent extremism and as somebody who is mug limb and wants to see our house of islam begin to counter the ideology i want to see a conference on countering violent islamism that's the root cause. he mentioned that this was a muslim problem that needs some muslim solutions and yet it was a complete cognitive dis nens because he doesn't want -- i don't know if doesn't have the courage or its his advisors are basically part of the islamist lobby. i mean uma, the hall was filled
9:19 am
with countries and ministers that are basically feeding the ideological problem but just want to do away with the violence. it's almost like having a conference on drug violence and inviting the methodist buters to help you. >> it was like he was acting as a professor in a college classroom talking about the overall concerns and root causes of terrorism. but, you know there was no hint at this is summit that produced a clear, unified and global strategy to defeat the islamic state instead issuing a can declaration to the islamic world we are not at war with islam. have you been able to figure out why this president appears to be the reluctant warrior in this fight against isis. >> he doesn't want to look at what time we are in history. in order to identify that strategy we would have to take sides within the house of islam and how the advisors which are a poll gists for islamism, as long as we don't address islam then reformers don't have a seat at the table. number one, his advisors are the
9:20 am
problem which are usually the brotherhood legacy groups in america and globally the islamist republics of saudi arabia, iran et cetera are telling them don't confront islamism because that will offend us. certainly it will because the reform and separation of mosque and state against all these islamist movements that are the pool that the radicals swim this in. if you want to defeat islam owe patriot tichl which is the real drug that pulls people away from syria, into iraq into libya it is that that we have to defeat and we have to promote liberty. the president didn't talk about thinking about what we want to promote into right now we are seeing some of america's european allies putting forward a narrative that acknowledges a confront situation with jihadists and some would proclaim that the west is in a holy war right now against these terrorists. do you agree with that notion? >> well, i don't think the west is in a holy war, i think there's a holly war within the house of islam and what the west
9:21 am
has a tick need to address and this time of history is to promote those hobble in freedom and liberty within the house of islam against the theo democrats, the west has been through this in the generation of american revolution in our history islam is in the same point in history and, yes there's a holly war within islam, it's in the prisoners of conscious in saudi arabia and iran and syria and else where. that's where we had to take sides and right now isis is simply a symptom of that. you can't defeat isis without also defeating assad and defeating the auto democrats of the middle east that have been so much the root cause that the administration wants to blame on jobs and other irrelevant issues. >> so what impact do you think this lack of unified coherent strategy is going to have on our alleys in the middle east to have to deal with the terrorist threat in their own backyard. >> this is the problem making one summit to solve the entire problem. short term our allies will help us with common enemies like jordan, egypt and others that
9:22 am
see al qaeda and the brotherhood as a threat. long-term if you want to have reformers and people hobble in liberty don't insightnvite the auto crafts that don't believe in reform for liberty. have a conference of reformers in the west that want to infuse the long-term strategy for the defeat of the political islam. he started the conference uma, by saying in the 20th century we dee peted fashism and communism. i was waiting for him to say this century the long-term strategy is against islamism. we need a short term military coalition one the other is a long-term strategy against islamism which only western winded muslims would be on board with. >> thank you so much for joining us. it's going to be a long fight on this one it seems from the white house before it goes forward and has that pro pronged approach as you're suggesting. >> absolutely. thank you for having me. this past football season saw a domestic abuse as a major
9:23 am
story now it's nascar dealing with its own domestic abuse candle at least one star driver will not be allowed to run the daytona 500 and that's just the beginning of his punishment. plus much of the country is facing blistering cold, dangerous cold janice dean is standing by in new york. hi janice. >> hi. another weekend another winter storm. when will it end and how far is spring? we'll address all of those pressing issues when "america's news headquarters" returns after the break. [alarms blaring] ohhhhh... whoa whoa whoa! who's responsible for this?!? if something goes wrong, you find a scapegoat. ...rick.
9:24 am
it's what you do. ahhhhhhhh! what'd you say? uh-oh! kelly! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. rick. don't walk away from me. ahhhhhhhh!

a michigan police officer cheated death by inches. check out the dash cam video from a snow covered highway in
9:28 am
that state, a driver lost control, you see the police officer standing right there and crashed into a car that the officer was ride trying to help. across the country this weekend there will be even more dangerous weather. meteorologist janice dean is olg the forecast from the box extreme "weather center." >> hi, lie land. my apologies i was just checking my latest paps. do you believe it? good. let's take a look at the temperatures right now 26 in new york it's 22 in buffalo, 34 in cincinnati we've got some warm air on the way towards the mid-atlantic and the northeast and this is our latest snowstorm bringing snow already to the d.c. area up towards the northeast but we're going to feel all of that warm air move into the region and that snow is going to transition overnight tonight into freezing rain, sleet and then an all rain event tomorrow. so we need to watch this very carefully. mainly rain across the tennessee river valley ohio valley that's where we're getting the snow up towards the mid-atlantic and the northeast and we're
9:29 am
seeing those snowflakes certainly flying across d.c. several inches for you up towards philadelphia and new york central injuries gee could get 5 to 8 inches and then overnight tonight it transitions it to rain. there's the temperature 34 degrees new york by sunday afternoon it's out of here boston you could get a couple of inches of snow but then that rain is going to come in and then the cold air behind it is going to freeze everything. really tricky forecast. there's your snowfall accumulations certainly higher totals in the higher elevations, interior sections 6 to 12 inches along the coast a couple of inches then transition. really quick lee we'll get that warm air and then another blast of arctic air moves in monday, tuesday, into early next week. so we are a he the not done yet with winter and the upper midwest and great lakes look at the wind chill forecast minus 40 in some cases across the up of michigan, the wind chills are going to be dangerous and this cold air is not going anywhere.
9:30 am
these are forecast temperatures not wind chill to really told temperatures sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. the moral of the story is winter is not going away even though we're just a few weeks away from springtime. i think it's like 26, 27 days, leland, the big count down is on my friend. >> the count down is on i think i speak for everyone, though, here in this studio we were listening to your weather report there were assorted groans that kept getting worse and worse and worse. you have a busy lady, we appreciate it, janice. >> every weekend it seems like we're talking -- we have to stop meeting like this, my friend. >> all right. we'll meet in a bar it will be better. thanks janice. as janice was saying this weekend brings another round of nasty winter storms across the country. we want to see your weather pictures. you can tweet them to @leland viter, @uma pemmaraju or @anhqdc and we're going to show them
9:31 am
later in our broadcast. last time we did had this we got pictures of the people on the beach. >> even if you're tired of this wintry mess there's one group that loves this chilly weather ice climbers in north carolina taking advantage of the deep freeze to scale some slippery slopes, ice climbers hacked into the ice as they ascend and one climber moves up the mountain face another controls his dissent from the ground. it may look scary but they insist it's safer than most things that people do. from the u.s. to jerusalem, snow falling in the holy land, this is a beautiful site. a heavy winter storm slammed this city yesterday they turned firetrucks into snow flous plows, authorities had to close all the roads. the holy land's ancient sites and the dome of the rock all getting a very rare white coat of snow. and on this weekend on the daytona 500 news from nascar
9:32 am
that it has indefinitely suspended kurt busch yesterday. had had comes after a judge rules that the 2004 cup champion choke and beat a former girlfriend last paul. will car following this story. >> reporter: hi, uma. well, a busch is is the first driver in nascar to be suspended for domestic violence after yesterday a judge in delaware ruled that he choked his former girlfriend during a confrontation last september. his girlfriend, patricia driscoll says the 2004 nascar cup stamp i don't know has been battling alcoholism and depression. listen to driscoll in a sit down interview with fox and friends anchor brian kilmeade. >> i pop up out of bed and grabbed me by the throat and smashed my head into the wall three times and my son is in the front. i just -- i don't understand why he snapped like that.
9:33 am
>> remember busch responded in an open court seth to driscoll's allegations testifying that he was afraid of driscoll because he believed that she was quote, a trained assassin. well, the judge yesterday disagreed with that, saying that busch -- that pointing out that busch risked his life driving 200 miles per hour during every race so he should never haven't have been afraid of an alleged assault. the judge went on to issue a pro protective order to prevent busch from seeing driscoll. nascar is not the first sport dealing with domestic violence. the nfl increased its en pallets and after the announcement yesterday somebody took a pen, went to the stall that busch has and wrote ray rice and rice's number on the stall obviously linking both at least to domestic violence. >> thank you very much for that update. a controversial figure at the state department jen psaki

my name is michael. i'm 55 years old... and i have diabetic nerve pain. the pain was terrible. my feet hurt so bad. it felt like hot pins and needles... coming from the inside out of my skin. when i did go see the doctor and he prescribed lyrica. it helped me. it's known that... diabetes damages nerves. lyrica is fda-approved to treat diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is not for everyone. it may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing rash, hives, blisters, changes in eyesight including blurry vision, muscle pain with fever tired feeling, or skin sores from diabetes. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. having reduced pain...
9:38 am
is great, and i'm grateful for it. ask your doctor about lyrica and visit lyrica.com to learn about our $25 co-pay offer some of our successes we've seen on the ground by the iraqi security forces -- one moment. >> we're going to spare you the rest of this but that awkward silence continues as you can see for 20 seconds as she flips through her binder and this is who president obama just promoted to become his communications director. she is state department spokesperson jen psaki who has provided reporters endless fodder touring her time at the podium. here to separate the perception from reality on this move political and fub u. public affairs guru brian donna hue. brian, thanks for being here. do you think this is a good
9:39 am
move? >> this is the big time. these are the big lesion. this is the white house and the president's administration. i'm not sure that she's ready for the big lesion because her track record in the minors down at the state department was pretty checkered. i didn't think she had a good batting average to show. >> there were a lot of reporters who went after her. jake tapper once said more for the record you're not answering my questions and also take a look at this exchange with mike lee. >> in yes, ma'am -- >> okay. we don't have this but this is basically where mike lee very well respected reporter says you're simply not answering my questions. the answer is no. leave is at that. is this -- why do you make a decision to bring somebody who you point out in the minor lesion didn't do so well, was fodder for a lot of reporters and all of a sudden you promote her to the number one spot. >> she had a great track record,
9:40 am
she had a lot of respect of the reporters in the media and, you know jen psaki she's got a checkered record. the things that they look for in a strong communications director somebody who is disciplined, somebody who has credibility and somebody who has the respect of the media and the press who they're communicating with all the time. she's had a combative relationship. >> reblt and respect are not the two words that really come to mind when you think about jen psaki. at some level as a president when you're surrounded by people who always tell you you're right and doing a good job, don't you want somebody who isn't drinking the kool-aid to go, stop, mr. president, this is where you're not right on this, this is why where the media is going to see it a different way rather than going yes, sir. >> this is a tough spot for her and you have to appreciate that. this is the last two years of this administration most of the course of it this administration is laid out most of the major policy agendas and she's going to probably spend the next two years on defense and that's not
9:41 am
a very good position to be in especially when we've got valerie jarrett who is calling the shots and other people in the administration. will she be able to be proactive or will she spend the next two years playing defense all the time? >> when you come from a position in the state department that was so public and now you're going behind the scenes you've fwn in those positions before where you transition out of in front of the camera to mind the cam ration tell me about what that transition works. do you take someone who is famous for their gaffs but may be brilliant about strategy behind the scenes. >> you've got to hope so. the most important job for the communications director because they're not in front of the camera is being able to see around the corner being able to line up the communications strategy around the policy efforts of the president and the administration, but they also have to have again that credibility with the press with reporters, they're doing a lot of behind the skeebs communicating and, you know i think she starts off, again, with an uphill battle because of
9:42 am
her track record back in the state department. it was checkered. >> you watch some of the clips of her answering questions and she seems so lost for words and then delivers these answers that on their face no matter whether you brae with the policy or not you kind of go, gee that really probably wasn't the way to answer that. people have said she's out of her depth. is that somebody who is just drank the kool-aid believes it no matter what or is that somebody who is too dumb for lack of a better term to be able to figure out a coherent answer like in the way what you see josh earnest do where he can deflect and move and would he have is this. >> in in position she has to be the chief community karat and again that comes back to the term credibility. she has to be credible. when she went back a few months ago and said the president doesn't give himself enough credit i think she lost a lot of credibility there. she looked like someone who is just simply drinking the kool-aid. in fact, i think a lot of people said it looked like she was main lining the kool-aid. >> we'll leave it at that.
9:43 am
brian don hue from craft we appreciate your time, sir. it's hillary clinton's nomination a sure bet? a lot of folks are asking that question. not sure if some of her fellow democrats have it their way. >> you said a few weeks ago the democratic party has lost its way. what did you mean by that? >> the people who have no voice in the corridors of power could always count on the democratic party to be talking about economic fairness issues, particularly, and it's kind of up for grabs these days. i think the democratic party needs to get back on that message. >> tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern fox news reporting election 2016 for the democrats core owe nation or confrontation? it's anchored by brett bare and it is a report you don't want to miss. the first airplane designated as air force one now is sits in an arizona desert it was sold decades ago but the new owner had no idea testifies

buying a piece of presidential history. fox news krs poend ent alicia do you know a has more on this store. >> it was an incident that prompted all american presidents to fly under the call force air force one. >> that is a very significant number right there, 8610 that changed the whole course of presidential air transport history. >> the column bien 2 carried president quite eisenhower for about a year, one evening in 1953 the aircraft was involved in a frightening incident with the president on board. >> this would be air force flight 8610 in 1953 this aircraft and eastern ierls flight 8610 ended up in the same air space over new york city. >> and the call sign air force one was born. the plane was eventually replaced and ended up at davis air force base where its history was lost, then sold at auction

the heavy hitters joining the six power nuclear talks with iran iran and america's top nuclear officials joining in the talks in geneva today they're hoping that the arrival of key players will help resolve the -- the technical dispute standing in the way of a deal among other issues they're expected to discuss the number can operate to enrich uranium and how much enriched material it can stockpile. for us here in the united states winter weather, even what's going on behind us here in washington, is largely an inconvenience. in the middle east it is a matter of life and death for so many on the run from isis. several blizzards are leaving a blanket of snow that's covered lebanon and is adding to the struggle of refugees. there are nearly 500,000 children at the mercy of others to make it through the bitter cold. >> the children are on the streets. it weakens them so they need
9:51 am
help. we said in october the help needs to come fast because we are not able to reach and cover each and every one of them. >> unicef is trucking in convoys of blankets, hats scarfves and other winter clothing. still photographs of an artillery and landing exercise observed by leader kim jong unand describing as training on an island. kim pronouncing himself well pleased, we're told. the exercise is believed to be timed to show of strength ahead of the annual exercises pyongyang has condemned as a rehearsal for an invasion. >> i have to look outside. it took around 30 minutes to get down. fire tore through one of the world's tallest sky scrapeers in downtown dubai. you can see the video of the flames and ash falling down.
9:52 am
strong winds fanned the flames. hundreds had to escape from the 79 story torched residential tower. police say there were no reports of tets or even injuries in this blaze. an investigation is on spgoing as to what exactly started that massive fire. all right. take a look. up in outer space you are looking at live pictures after space walk happening right now outside the international space station. nasa astronauts doing some tricky cable work there. this picture coming in and out but stabilizing a bit hopefully. they will play 764 feet of cable. sorry, we lost -- there we go. nasa's most complicated cable job in the 16-year history. it's needed before the new american-made crew capsule can dock in 2017. and take a look at this giant snowman. a wisconsin dad spent more than 50 hours sculpting a massive 22-foot-tall olaf for his
9:53 am
daughter. his daughter's name is lany and she's a huge fan of the hit movie "frozen." >> lany wanted a snowman so i said i'd build her one and then with the whole olaf kick it thisser year i tried to shape it or get it as close to olaf as i could. >> paul dahms said he used several tools and plywood adding more after each snowfall. you now the real-life o had laf is probably not imagining summer unlike the rest of us during this absolutely are horrific weather. well it's another weekend of wild winter weather here it in the nation's capital and across the country. we've been asking you to send us your photos. here are some of the best ones we've received so far. rebecca smith sending us this snowy photo from west virginia. take a look there as it piles up. angie cooper is sending us this one as well. and the adorable photo of daughter ainsley playing in a new hampshire winter wonder
9:54 am
land. >> up in new hampshire they know how to dress for the weather, very clearly. i want to say i appreciate no beach photos. last time wethese photos we got all these beach photos, people at the pool, it's nice not to have to endure that right now. >> well, i'll tell you, right now florida has its own share of winter woes as well. >> it's cold down there. it's cold everywhere. it's he a little bit better here. when we started the show we could not even make out the capitol here. we were talking on one of the breaks. it's amazing this snowstorm nobody thought was going to be a beg deal. oh, it's nothing. a little dusting of snow. all of a sudden you now 5 inches coming. so we'll see if we can't make it home. coming up in the next hour, the new u.s. defense secretary is has landed in kabul. we'll tell you what he has to say. the future of the u.s. military withdrawal from afghanistan. plus, how the fight against isis could end up impacting your wallet. plus, a week-old ceasefire has unraveled in ukraine among much finger pointing. we'll have a live report from kiev and an exclusive interview
9:55 am
with the prime minister. a brand-new hour from d.c., the nation's capital, starts right after the break.
9:56 am
9:57 am
9:58 am
a very snowy saturday. the second hour of "america's news headquarters." >> and i'm uma pemmaraju. here is what's making news right now. the white house in damage control mode as thousands of
9:59 am
americans are warned it to hold off filing tax returns because of a major glitch with obamacare. find out why this is creating a big headache for so many. and a fox news exclusive. ukraine's prime minister issuing a desperate plea for help as his country it continues to fight the russian-backed rebels saying right now there is no ceasefire. >> and with growing reports of anti-semitism on the rise in europe a disturbing video. you won't believe what he found. >> a brand-new hour live from the nation's snowy capital starts right now. and as we speak new defense secretary ashton carter is on the ground in kabul this hour just days after taking the job. he says the obama administration is now rethinking the counterterrorism mission in that country. translation, more u.s. troops
10:00 am
could stay on the ground longer. peter ducy is here with the details as they develop. >> there may be a slowdown to the pullout and it's not because things are going badly. it's because the newly formed government in afghanistan is performing much better than anyone in d.c. expected. so now the obama administration is trying to figure out if they can aid that success by keeping americans there longer than planned. >> our priority now is to make sure this progress sticks. that is why president obama is considering a number of options to reinforce our support for the president's security strategy including possible changes to the time line for our drawdown of u.s. troops. >> today there are about 10,000 u.s. troops on the ground in afghanistan. the plan has been to shrink that to about 5,000 by the end of this year and have everybody out by the end of 2016 or by the end
10:01 am
of president obama's time in office. now, though, there is the possibility that the next american president will be sworn in with american troops remaining in afghanistan. and this is the possibility the afghan president seemed to welcome as he spoke today about the possibility of reconciling with the taliban. >> the peace has never been better in the last 36 years. our approach is productive. we are hopeful but categorical in the peace process. >> there haven't been any changes yet. afghan president ghani will be in d.c. next month and he will sit with president obama to discuss. leyland? >> amazing to see the jux juxtaposition and this new president. peter doocy, thanks so much.
10:02 am
we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place. remember that during the crusade and the inquisition people committed terrible things in the name of christ. >> ever since the president offed those rae marks earlier this month in washington there's been a growing outcry from christian leaders and others who say the president is trying to deny the relationship between terrorism and radical islam. his remarks drawing heat from those who say equating the crusades to what's happening right now by islamic terrorists who are beheading and torture ing innocent people downplays the urgent threat. even pope francis has come out denouncing the religious fundamentalism that has inspired the paris massacres and ongoing isis atrocities. joining us now jeffers from dallas. welcome, sir. great to have you here today. >> thank you uma. good to be with you. >> i know you've gone on record saying that you believe the administration's refusal to
10:03 am
acknowledge the connection between terrorism and radical islam is putting our nation at great risk. how so? >> look this is not some schoolyard game where we're trying to twist the president's arm until he screams uncle or religious terrorist. we want to understand where it's going and how to defeat it. these islamic terrorists will not rest until they've exterminated all jews and all christians from the face of the earth. and, uma, you're not going to be able to reform that basic resolve out of islam and you're sure not going to fix it with a jobs program. >> do you think this week's summit he against extremism offered any real strategies about its confronting the isis threat at all? >> i don't think it did at all and here is the reason. first of all, extremism has a name in the world today. it's called radical islam. until you identify the source, you're not going to identify the solution.
10:04 am
look, the president keeps making a point that we all agree with and that is that radical islam is a small sliver of islam as a whole. as i argue in my new book it represents about 5% or 75 million of muslims. but, uma a radical minority is much more powerful than a passive majority. and i believe the radical minority is going to win unless we do something drastic. >> you know, we it continue to hear the reports of murders of christian communities. i've seen the videos and images of those sites where isis has killed thousands, yet there's been little outcry from chryst christians in the west about this reality. why? >> that's right. i talked to a friend this week who just returned from iraq. he's interviewed girls who have been taken hostage by isis and later escaped. he interviewed pastors whose churches have been burned to the ground. he said they're all asking the same question. why are our chrystistian brothers and sisters in the west silent about this? i don't think we can be silent
10:05 am
any longer. and that's why earlier this week on fox i called on all christians and people of the jewish faith to come together and demand this administration do whatever is necessary to eradicate the cancer of isis and radical islam. we're doing that in our church tomorrow. we're giving out phone numbers of the white house and our senators for our people to demand that our government do something to eradicate this cancer that threatens us all. >> you know what seems to be lacking throughout all of this and you pointed out to some degree the fact we don't have that sense of urgency right now. we're looking for moral leadership to stop these atrocities against humanity. there doesn't seem to be that urgency from the white house and other european allies at this moment. what do you can account for this? >> i think it's just passivity that won't be riled up until it's too late n. iraq the last ten years the christian population in iraq has gone from
10:06 am
1.5 million to 300,000. and, again this is a religious conflict that even predates muhammad. it goes back to the conflict between the descendents of isaac and ismael and again, this doesn't represent all of islam. we understand that. but radical islam is not some new aberration. it has been a part of islam since the beginning. i mean, look at muhammad. he beheaded 600 jews who wouldn't follow him into battle. you know muhammad killed thousands of people in contrast to he jesus christ who never killed anyone. and what i'm saying, uma, you cannot defeat an enemy you don't understand. and radical islam is very much a part of the islamic faith. it's time for this president and others to acknowledge that. >> pastor jeffress, thank you for joining us. we appreciate you joining us and sharing your point of view today. >> thank you, uma. in ukraine the prime minister now says, quote, there is no ceasefire in the eastern
10:07 am
part of his country. it didn't take long. just a week ago ukraine's military and russian-backed separatists agreed to lay down their weapons. now the fighting continues as more heavy weapons pour in from russia. more of the exclusive interview with the prime minister and what his country needs from america. greg? >> reporter: leyland there were more reports today of violations of the ceasefire on both sides. this as ukrainian military regroups from a big defeat to russia-backed rebels this week, amid a new call from congressmen, including senator mn mccain to send ukraine defensive weapons. more from our exclusive interview with you krapian prime minister. he explains why his country needs americans armed. >> the idea of having the weapons is very simple. we have to defend ourselves.
10:08 am
the rest of the stuff and again, everyone knows this. and we still use outdated soviet-soviet soviet-style weapons. >> the u.s. is thinking about new sanctions against russia and its proxies according to comments made today in lon be done. secretary of state kerry with so much going on in the world why should the u.s. care about eastern ukraine? once again the prime minister. >> the youunited states of america is the leader of the free world. we are fighting for our independence. and we are fighting for our freedom s freedoms and liberties. and this is to be our joint work. to fight together. >> reporter: one more time we must note that for its part russia says it has no troops and
10:09 am
no weapons inside eastern ukraine. that doesn't deter the prime minister from making one final pitch in our interview. i quote, i believe president obama did and will do everything to support ukraine. >> obviously there's a lot of folks hoping for a lot more help from the united states. greg palkot with an incredible interview from kiev. thanks, greg. you don't want to miss america's headquarters tomorrow here on the fox news channel. we'll sit down with the ukrainian ambassador to get more on what had his country needs from the united states and how his country is trying to take on the russian army. >> all right tony shave certificate joining us with reaction to what's happening in ukraine at this point. and the fact that that president there is hopeful that the you states is still going to come through with help and backing to get his country through this very difficult period. but a lot of folks aren't optimistic that will happen.
10:10 am
>> uma, it's tragic the fact the military planners that i deal with understand the importance of showing strength. so far what you've seen one after the other, vladimir putin has pushed and pushed and pushed, and nobody has pushed back. i'm not saying we have to jump in with military arms instantly, but we have to show that we have resolved to do something to push back. i would do two things. i would, indeed, bring in weapons and start giving them to kiev to start allowing the russians to understand there will be consequences. they may win but it will be at a huge price. secondly we should show the europeans are with us. i put forward we ought to do something we did in the '80s to show resolve, return of forces to germany, an exercise to show we can do global operations, something that would again, help the european ss show we're with them and do something to he show the russians we're serious will doing something to push back if necessary. so far nothing has been done. >> meanwhile, the russian president putin continues to act as if he's completely innocent of any kind of concerns. the european allies there don't
10:11 am
seem to be putting any pressure on him. they're in these talks but it doesn't seem like anything will stick. >> the europeans are in a difficult position because the resources they depend upon, especially gas, comes from russia. so they are literally torn here. they approve the xl pipeline and show that and guarantee europeans like the russians pull the plug we're going to be there for you. this is an economic response to a situation putin is leveraging for his own advantage. we did hear news about plans to mobilize iraqi troops in the region. months ahead of when they would be engaged in this conflict. unprecedent unprecedented from a lot of military leaders who think why would the white house view this to this point? >> two reasons. i believe president obama's
10:12 am
so-called strategic session on global terrorism bombed. his comments were criticized by both sides of the aisle. this is a political response to a military situation where they decided to announce those grandiose plans that are not going to work. let me be clear on this. on a daily basis our trainers are doing the best they can. there are daily draw downdowns of the iraqi army. to announce an army going into battle six weeks from now. >> are they even ready to fight? >> no way. >> i'm hearing how bad it's getting. you have the soon-yi elements drawing down and the shia elements and we're refereeing. the only hope we have are the kurds kurds. there is no strategy. people working with congress
10:13 am
right now. we put together a plan to do something. this is insane and frankly it's going to result in bad things. we have isis doubling down attacking what we call the primary access point between kuwait and baghdad. this gives a huge leg up up. we're going to scare them out of mosul. it ain't going to work. >> they're not going to leave anytime soon. you talk about the ied that is correct would bring harm to our own people helping get rid of some of the things and help them move ahead around these ieds. >> absolutely. and that's what i'm afraid of. by telling the enemy telegraphic the exact time frame, it's totally giving them
10:14 am
a leg up and i'm told this is not us trying to go one way. this is the plan. and it was done for political purposes. uma, you know, i and others have been saying, you need to get the white house out of military planning. the more president obama and the national security council decides to things like this, the more it damages our ability to conduct real military operations. >> and the morale right now among generals? >> horrible. look, we've seen generals stand up. mike flynn and james maddis, hagel, all got fired because they were trying to say, mr. president, this is what the issue is. this is what you need to address. each time they did that, they ended up getting their pink slip and shown the door. that's not the right way to run the military. being belittled by the national security council by politicians when they should be listening to the wise counsel of these generals. don't fire people for telling the truth. what will will happen next if you don't pay attention and try to prevent bad outcomes from
10:15 am
coming . i see a very bad outcome coming the way they're planning it right now. >> it's re very scary and sobering indeed. tony shaffer, keep us posted. i know it will not all be pleasant news. >> no it's not. >> thank you. and is it dangerous to be a jew in europe? this video of a jewish man's walk will give you something to think about. it received nearly a million hits on youtube. we will talk to that reporter coming up. and a march deadline approaches. negotiators try to hammer out a deal. are they even close? we'll tell you next. plus, the big chill continues. temperatures plunging to dangerously low levels. any relief in sight? the answer is really no. the forecast is coming up. >> it's freezing. it's like freezing freezing. how do i get hotel deals nobody else gets?... i know a guy. price-line ne-go-ti-a-tor! i know this guy...

10:20 am
deja vu all over again this time 800,000 health care.gov customers have to wait to file their taxes because the obama administration sent them incorrect forms as related to their health care and delay in filing taxes means delayed tax returns. here for a fair and balanced debate political strategist joe lestingi and angela mcglowan. joe, first to you. in the sense we have seen so many extensions, delays, problems, snafus, all these kinds of things, at some point is this kind of proving the point that obamacare may be a good idea, may be a bad idea, but in the way it was implemented it has been a disaster? >> absolutely not in my opinion. what we have here is a focus on the bureaucratic mistakes. there's implementation, growth pains, if you will. as you've known for the past two months now enrollment is through the roof exceeding expectations.
10:21 am
though it might be causing some headaches for these people which i understand and am sympathetic towards, at least they have health care now to deal with those headache ss. the core premise of the program is working. we are getting more people health coverage that didn't have it before. these small things, this is a clerical error, i'm sure, will get worked out. >> angela, do the ends justify the means here in the sense do all these problems sort of become ignored because people have health care as joe stipulates? >> listen, leland, the fact is joe sounds like the health care official that represented hhs that said the 800,000 people only represent 1% of the people who file taxes. these are folks that are dependent upon their tax refunds. people put off things because they believe they're going to get their tax refund because they're responsible americans to file their taxes on time. so now you have 800,000 people that have to wait not to mention the 50,000 people that have already filed for their taxes early are going to have to resubmit their tax forms.
10:22 am
then, leland, you you have 100,000 people in california, some of them have to pay back their subsidies that they paid to get this health care that's supposed to be so great. and the jury is still out on that. >> joe? >> well, again, this goes back to i appreciate -- it's february. taxes aren't due until april 15. >> well -- >> hold on. >> that is a celebrated day. >> a lot of people want and need their tax refunds. >> absolutely. >> they count on those, joe. >> absolutely. >> in that sense is this just another example of not being able to get it straight, not ready for prime time? >> no. this is not at all that. this is a situation where there was a mistake and as angela pointed out it's a he very small percentage of the people who actually have health care now. it's 800,000 people. it sounds like a lot but considering we added 11 million new people to the roles, it's very very small. so, yes, it is a headache and most people will appreciate that. >> joe you say it's a very small number. i will let angela have the last
10:23 am
word on this, that's 8% 8%. you get 8% wrong, that's not a good batting average. >> the arrogance of this administration, a lot of these folks, middle class people, probably voted for the president. and here again they're going to have to step back and wait and wait and wait and wait. this is what happens, leland, when you rush legislation through congress for politics and not for policy. not to create a better -- >> if the state had their own exchanges, this wouldn't be a problem. the states could have had their own exchange. >> we'll leave it there, joe and angela. we appreciate you coming out on a terrible day. you made it in in fine fashion. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having us. >> uma? israel's prime minister netanyahubenjamin netanyahu has been urging european jews to leave their homes and head to israel following concerns of anti-semitism following a brutal brazen attack on
10:24 am
copenhagen. a jewish journalist decided to test how safe the streets of paris are for jews by wearing a skull cap and using a hidden camera. what he discovered was quite disturbing. the reporter spent ten hours in and around paris and joins us. welcome. nice to have you on the program, sir. great to have you. >> hi. it's good to be here. >> this video is quite disturbing. talk about why you decided to take on this project. >> so i'm a jewish world correspondent for a news site called nrg. i cover the whole aspects of immigration from europe to israel for the past many years and the current security situation of jews in europe since the shooting in 2012 in
10:25 am
france. instead of basing my reports to listening to what the jews there have to say and reading international media, i decided to go to paris to walk the streets and realized you know, or see what's going on on the streets there, how it is to be a jew in paris in 2015. at the end of the day it's not very fun, not a piece of cake. >> talk to us for a moment about what you experienced. people there heckled you. there was a young boy who actually told his mother that you shouldn't be in that neighborhood because you would be killed? >> mm-hmm. exactly. i got spit at by different people. i got cursed. i got called a jew, something that i'm very proud of. i'm proud of being a jew but i don't need my religion to be called out at me. i was insinuated as being a dog.
10:26 am
i was threatened. it's something that wasn't fun. >> obviously. the fact the prime minister is raising the red flag about anti-semitism in europe right now and paris, for example a lot of people there are saying those concerns are being hyped up that this is not actual hi the case. you say based on what you experienced in those ten hours walking in and around some of the neighborhoods there, that this only adds fuel to the fire. >> exactly. i can could actually just mention i was interviewed on channel 4, brit esh channel 4, and i was asked by the news anchor there if me wearing a kepa had h is a provocation. i think europe doesn't understand what they have to deal with. there are terrorist attacks there. there's been many terrorist attacks in the past few months.
10:27 am
unfortunately they aren't he realizing that it's not only an attack against jews. it's attacks against you know an attack against western society. ignoring the fact this is a situation is problematic. i'm happy my prime minister netanyahu put millions into promoting immigration to israel having people who are in europe. >> well, the report that you produced was quite enlightening and disturbing. i appreciate you sharing this with us and your insights. i urge our viewers to take a look at it and come to their own conclusions. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> they are responsible for a

ing ret now. mainly a rain event for the tennessee river valley. we have flood advisories up to kentucky and then all snow for the d.c. area up towards philadelphia and filling in into new york. here is the tricky part of the forecast. a change over to rain overnight tonight and into tomorrow but we have winter weather advisories in the pinks here all the way up to maine where we have winter weather advisories so tracking this storm overnight tonight, see that changeover for d.c. and philadelphia. that could cause some slippery roadways certainly. it's out of here by sunday but then we watch the next storm system is move across the rockies bringing one to two feet over the colorado rockies, dipping as far south as it texas into the new workweek and that will move across the central u.s. winter storm warnings for our friends across the rockies as well as parts of texas where in some cases over two feet of snow will fall for the rockies. of course this will be great news for skiers. people who don't like the snow shouldn't be going outside.
10:36 am
back to you. >> and what did you say, spring was just amere weeks away? >> four weeks away, my friend. >> i'm looking forward to that, janice. thank you. >> you've got it. another round of nasty storms across the country as janice reported and we want your weather pictures. send us your photos. let us know what you're dealing with out there. you can tweet them to us @uma pemmaraju or leland vittert and we'll show some of those pics later on in our show. if the rise of isis and instability in the middle east concerns the world's financial markets they have not shown it yet. the dow continues to set records and the good times are rolling on wall street, but how can you protect you and your family and your 401(k) from what might be around the corner? managing partner joins us to discuss. ed, have the markets considered the possibility isis is going to become a growing threat really
10:37 am
started to affect the world financial markets? >> it's a great question leland. it's really important to take these subjects and dissect them and show the impact on their portfolio. right now it's not showing at all because in the markets that isis is growing, they're really so small that it doesn't matter. however, it's starting to spread into other areas. and the important thing everyone needs to know these major brands that are based in the united states, they're always looking for markets to expand to. we have china. you have india. you have the emerging markets. but one of the things that they've always been looking at is what africa is which is a frontier market. the plans they had going in there, they have now had to pivot and start to change that because of the growing spread of isis in africa. i have news for you, it's start to go look like they're changing their plans for more business and expansion if they could in europe. isis is going to become a problem financially down the road. today not yet.
10:38 am
but down the road people need to be aware of where it's spreading and then start looking at the companies they own and the sectors that they own and see if those areas are going to be impacted by isis. >> when you talk about africa, it's not only isis but some of the other radical groups that are changing the landscape there. as you look at this and one of the things that often is looked at is the issue of oil. oil prices right now are at almost an all-time low, very recent is low in thames of the price of gas a lean and those types of things. how all of a sudden is that going it to change if you have a lot more instability in the middle east, more fighting with iran that violence spills over? >> it doesn't sound like a big deal to some, but a lot of u.s. can companies are drilling in africa. they try to expand there as well and, remember, stock priceses move up in anticipation of future earnings. they've moved up in the anticipation these numbers will be met. these companies, even oil companies, are starting to pull back their resources. they're starting to have those discussions all around all
10:39 am
companies and a little bit of a reduction in the productivity of those companies in africa are going to impact oil prices. at the same time the big thing to look for the stock prices will drop if we start to see earnings revisions when earnings are announced at the end of march. the takeaway is right now don't worry too much about it. but be aware that it will spread as long as isis spreads and we don't have any plans to slow isis down. no one in the world does so you need to start watching where they're going because it will start to hurt your 401(k) plan down the road. >> real quickly, a lot of folks are talking about interest rates are still very, very low. the instability continues here is that going to play into things. >> i'm really happy you brought that up. instability around the world, people and money flow to the united states, they will buy our bonds that push rates lower. when you see fear around the world, just like what's going on in isis, with isis, excuse me, money will flow here.
10:40 am
i expect interest rates to remain relatively low on any bond that is traded in the open market. so rates will stay low but be aware because -- >> this is not going to end well. ed butowsky, weigh appreciate your time. so now that we are well into the new year, how are you doing with all those new year's resolutions about eating right and exercising? a new book that could change the way you diet and exercise. plus, helping our veterans get back on track by putting them in the driver's seat. we'll tell you how. stay with us. ♪ by 1914 the dodge brothers quit the ford motor company and set out on their own. they believed in more, than the assembly line. they believed driving was a holy endeavor. a hundred years later, the dodge brothers spirit lives on.
