keeping us save. >> reporter: happy labor day to you. the president back in bean town and the police association. they are frustrated by what they see is a lack of support for law enforcement and underscores a feeling in law enforcement circles is that divide and between those in blue and obviously sworn to protect and they work hard to do that. i mentioned that association and this is from the associate director. jerry flynn, writes our members are enraged of his lack of support. it is clear he has an agenda and unfortunately the police are not part of his agenda and among places like baltimore and ferguson is a sign of the times

and the president said the cops deserve our respect and the loved ones have a right to have them return safely. the cops feel like the white house has not done enough or sad enough to support them. the president is in boston for a number of reasons. he's there to it highlight a movement in labor. that is paid leave. and it is supposed to expand paid p sick leave and requires federal contractors in this case to guarantee paid sick leave. and going to affect 300000 federal contract workers and they can use it for themselves or a family member or an absence resulting from domestic violence. and if you are following the bouncing ball on this, this does not surprise you patty ann we heard the president talk about that in the state of the union

address. in this case they are trying to expand paid leave that has broad support on both side ises of the political spectrum. >> thank you. right now the funeral service for the illinois police officer gunned down last week. the community gathered to pay respect before the body of 52-year-old is laid to rest. he was murdered last tuesday after radioing in he was pursuing three suspicious men. authorities are searching for his killers. live in antioch, illinois the funeral is held today. hi, matt. >> beautiful day in antioch. i am standing in front of the high school.

the services are running far behind. and as far as the investigation goes. police are saying they have two pieces of crucial evidence. one is the item recovered near the initial driem scene. officers are working around-the-clock and what is motivating them to keep going. >> we have to keep the investigation focused and efficient we have a mission and focus until we solve the case. >> reporter: there are dozeebs of cop cars and hundreds of police officers showing up. and a somber and beautiful moment and also behind me is a very large american flag raised 75 feet in the air and i

am told dozens of police units and fire departments are paying final tribute to the lieutenant. >> a fitting good bye for a real american hero. two florida police officers paying it forward. an arby's offered free food after an employee at another arby's refused to serve a police officer. these officers helped the homeless man instead. helping him was a no brainer. >> when we first approached robert. he was thankful and we gave him a ride down to arby's and whatever you want. we ordered for him.

arby's fired the manager and suspended the employee in the pembroke pines restaurant where an officer was refused service last week. hillary clinton getting no sympathy from the other woman in the race when it comes to attacks. clinton said trump is throwing heat her way. here is carly fiorina this morning. >> boo- hoo, mrs. clinton. she compared republicans to terrorist? i wish mr. trump would throw more heat hillary clinton's way. i feel like i am the only candidate that is consistently critical of her. she has lied as secretary of state and benghazi and e-mails and server. and she revives the war with on woman, this is her go to line.

and that certainly qualifies as no sympathy. carl cameron. >> reporter: carly fiorina is trying to make a going after hillary clinton as the front runner of the democrat side. it is lab horr day and republicans don't play labor day politics. they tend to go to picnics and rallies. in new hampshire, there is a couple of places for candidates to be. the parade that is beginning right now. bernie sanders is now beating hillary clinton up there. and labor today fiorina and lindsay graham and walker will head over to salem. words of the big picnic this

afternoon. walk wither took his harley through the mountains and visited all ten counties in the granite side. the race for republicans is lopsided. donald trump and ben carson has more than 51 percent of the iowa caucus goers supporting trump and carson no one is close it is a 15- way try. and in new hampshire trump has a lead. and ka sich and carson are tide just over the margin and the rest of them are bunched together in the basement. on this labor day. outsiders are beating the political pros. after labor day tv ads will hit and all of the money and millions will raise. and the billion that trump might

take out in the bank account will get spent. things the get nastier. if trump leaves the race there will be a brutal musical chairs. all of them that have money and games that make them viable. >> money changes everything in politics and carl cameron live in washington. patty ann has more. a reversal in the democratic poll ps. bernie sanders pulling ahead of hillary clinton making him the front run nert granite state. sanders has a nine point lead over mrs. clinton in the voting state. and vice-president joe biden gets 16 percent. and the news is less grim for the clinton campaign nationally. mrs. clinton leads the vermont

senator more than 25 points. we'll see what this all means. thanks for joining us. >> hillary clinton's falling numbers is the e-mail scandal hurting her? >> i think so. and even though hillary clinton tried to focus on the issues in the campaign and has been dogged by this. it is not the numbers that it are untrustworthy and the voters don't see anything about issues or leadership, they just see scandal. bernie sanders even though he is to the left of where they might want to be. but if that were the case he is talking about nothing but what matters to them. people are hurting and they want himming things to get better. no one is going after bernie sanders. clinton is taking it all.

and no one is saying negative about bernie sanders. >> yeah. >> hillary clinton goes on ellen deagain ris tomorrow. can she reverify her campaign? >> she clearly can. she has money and organizations and in clinton name still means something in the democratic circles. but she has to get the e-mail and server issue off of the table and it would not hurt her to do the chris christie type style of asking the same question twice. and we saw her give the interview acknowledging she should have made better choices. and all it does is add to the drip, drip, drip. and i wont be surprised when she said yes, i am apologizing for

doing something. and cut and rip the band-aid and get it behind her. moving on to the republican side, scott walker formidable polling numbers in iowa melting. and support for the wisconsin governor is fading and he's down to five percent down from 19 percent. and trump is in the lead in iowa. and carson next with 22 percent. and jeb bush is third. what happened to scott walker? >> if there was a loser in the summer it was scott walker according to the polling. one of the things that hurt him, he was not a confident disciplined candidate and didn't have confidence. and he wants to get it back on track. he's giving a speech on thursday and scheduled to in the eureka

college. he wants to have confident in his own message and focus on where the voters are. despite good employment numbers and the voters feel like the country is not on the right track and things are not looking good. meet the voters where they are. and don't chase other candidates there is plenty of time and plenty to get things back on track. >> david drubbinger thank you. european countries are struggling to maintain order as migrants continue to flood over their borders. we'll tell you how european leaders are stepping up to help in the ongoing crisis.

said it is impossible for them to get a fair trail in baltimore. and in announcing charges. they made these statements. >> to the demonstrators across america and i heard your call for no justice and no peace and certainly but not least to the youth of this it city. i will seek justice on your behalf. >> nina is a former prosecutor and jay is a defense. >> and last woke the judge said those statements were concerning but not to prosecutorial misconduct and now a change of venue hearing. and based on the riot and comments, it would be difficult to find 12 jurors who don't have

an opinion one way or another in baltimore. >> i agree leland. this case is positive for a change of venue. there is riots and trials taking place. and the violence is directly or indirectly affected everyone in baltimore. you have the dan and public officials who are commenting on the trial that affects the jury pool. it is a prime case. and there is precedent for it. they have allowed a change of ven ow and i read the brief and very well written and a change of venue is a depend idea. >> prosecutors say we are not against a change of venue. but question the potential jurors to see if we can find 12 people. but the jurors come in and say i can be fair and impartial and

really they are concealing their own opinion. >> no, the only people who can determine the jury being fair and impartial and the people of the city of baltimore. citizens of baltimore deserve an opportunity to demonstrate that they can be fair and impartial. >> i get that. >> let justice run its course. >> i understand the argument. but on the streets of baltimore. protest, 12, 12, 12. 12 jurors for freddie. where on voir dire was created for the purpose p of determining if jurors can be fair and impartial. every citizen was not there in the protest. i believe there are baltimore citizens that can be fair can

impartial. >> jay, you are shaking your head there. >> what happens in voir dire both sides question the jurors and someone with basis will taint unbasised by stating opinions of what happen. and the solution is to bring in a jury pool from another part of maryland and use people from another part of the state and bring them in. and still had have the trial in baltimore and bus in the jurors that are fair and unbiassed that is not affected bite public statement and that way, you get a fair voir dire for state and defense. and have a fair and impartial jury that is gfrnted to the defendants in the constitution. >> we'll see if they can.

and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible. but it is not the device mobithat is mobile, it is you. we value sticking with things.

car at a intersection and the suspect approached their car and fired with a semi-automatic. one was hit in the hand and the other officer jumped out and arrested him. and this is the second time an officer was shot. jeremy robinson was shot in the leg boy an ak 47. he had to have surgery and expected to recover. four las vegas officers have been shot. and forcing law enforcement to change the way they patrol the streets in las vegas. >> this last friday, this was more or less not because of a safety concern but gives the officers time to decompress. and gives them the extra measure of reassurance that they are going to stay safe on the street. this comes on the heels of

the lieutenant in chicago and deputy goforth in texas being gunned down. and we'll take a look at the number. 201310 fatal ambush attacks. and 2014, the number of jumped to 15. and so far this year, four ambush attacks. it is a rough time for police officers and saying that it is a false narrative and saying that to the local paper. there is a war on cops right now. leland. >> interesting perspective. >> and the community is rallying to support the family of the texas deputy murdered in cold blood. people are leaving balloons and flowers in the gas station where the deputy was shot.

enforcement. >> the houston teen has two uncles in law enforcement and wants to work in criminal justice one day. scientist developed a blood test that estimates how quickly people age. by reading the person's genes, they can determine the biological age. it could be a better measurement of a person's health. and might predict a person's risk of altimerz. >> and so many potential applications here. >> the greater your biej boij age and more likely you will be diagnosed with the disease. there is very few measures out there to help determine if we are at risk. it is difficult to diagnose it as well. it is a paradigm shift.

early detection helps with our arsenal against the diseases. and if you make the lifestyle changes and you will prevent the disease itself. >> it goes beyond a zheimers. they can figure out how long a person will live and if you know that in advance and at risk, you can make lifestyle changes. >> they are looking at 150 genes and going back to a zheim xers. and they can look at these. and hone in on the causes of azheimmers. and it is helpful in that message. and one of the things to use for is organ donation. and take it fromap old onner

patient. you would be able to study whether that is their true age or organ might be old onner or young tore make the match. >> one of the problems is the supply. >> and organ transplantation can mean the difference between life-and-death. just because you are 65 years old does not moan that your oringans is old are than that. and this test and prelimary result help us to take older organs and help save be somebody's life. can you determine who would be eligible to receive an organ if they are are biologically older, do they lose that eligibility? >> we want to look at the hopeful side of this and increase our organ sploi. we want to get the organs from

people, to get a kid no. and that could help someone and lung transplant and live with quality and enjoyment. >> and what does it do to your insurance premium. it is a blood test. and can they do that and base your rates on the biological age? >> it is always that poenlt. i want to focus on the hopefulness of this. and help at risk for alzymers disease. we want researchers to it hone in. and treat it early. and that is the key like this? i want that test. >> it is still prelimary and we

need to do clinical trials. this is exciting as getting this for the future hope. >> thank you so much. leland? >> coming up. introducing you to an eagle scout that earned every merit beige possible. which one was the hardest hit. and patty ann this is something you do. animal lovers getting up close and person with lions and tigers and take you inside of the zoo and visitors get an opportunity to go wild. if you love shrimp like i love shrimp, red lobster's endless shrimp... ...is kind of a big deal. it's finally back, with as much shrimp as you want, any way you want 'em. one taste of these new pineapple habanero coconut shrimp bites,

fox news alert out of kentucky as we continue to follow the case of kim davis, the county clerk there who has been jailed because she refuses to issue licenses for same-sex couples. lawyers for kim davis said on

monday that they had asked an appellate court to force the governor to allow her to refuse to issue same-sex marriage licenses based on her religious convictions. they sought emergency relief from the sixth circuit court of appeals. obviously we're going to follow this as she sits in jail on this labor day weekend and tell if you there's any rules from that court or whether that may come in the next few days. right now lifeguards are warning swimmers about dangerous surf off the coast of california. at least one beach is closed this labor day due to strong rip currents. lifeguards have already rescued several swimmers in the area. >> a lot stronger than what you think. you go out there and you can touch bottom, and after a certain wave will come and there's nothing underneath you, and you just -- you don't know how strong it is until it happens. >> well, yeah. beach-goers are being warmed to always swim near a lifeguard tower and not to head into the water if you've been drinking.

tropical storm grace is moving across the atlantic ocean, but it shouldn't pose much danger to the u.s. meanwhile, people in the central plains could have some rain putting damper on their labor day barbecues. maria molina has more now from the extreme weather center. maria? >> thanks, patty ann. it looks rather active across the nation in terms of the weather but i want to start out first across the atlantic because it's still hurricane season and we do have our eyes on tropical storm grace, currently maximum sustained winds at 40 miles per hour and thankfully a lot of dry air and strong wind shear out here which is helping to keep this storm relatively weak. over the next several days it's forecast to dissipate across the caribbean. welcome news out here though because we do need some rape. we have drought conditions across places like puerto rico and some of the islands out here and we'll take the rain. again, fortunately, not expecting very strong impacts from that storm system as we head later into this week. central plains, out here a storm system is on the move, and it will be firing up some showers and storms today and some of

those storms could produce some locally severe weather. large hail, damaging winds and even flash flooding. there's even a small risk to see some torn depose today, especially as cross parts of nebraska and into kansas. keep a close watch. live in places like kansas city and omaha, heads up. you have that possibility for severe weather throughout the afternoon and evening hours today and then for tomorrow that storm system continues on the move and brings a marginal risk for some severe storms from oklahoma up into parts of illinois, kansas city you're in the bullseye yet again for that possibility for severe storms. early today we've been tracking storms moving through parts of missouri and iowa. there is a threat for additional flash flooding in parts of iowa. we do have watches in effect out there so that will be a big concern but overall the weather pattern across the u.s. for the last couple of days has been for cooler temperatures out west and warm across eastern two-thirds of the nation. coming up this week we'll start to see a shift in that weather pattern where cooler air will be impacting a bigger chunk of the nation, and by thursday

temperatures will be cooling off as well across parts of the northeast. patty ann, let's head over to you. >> thanks, maria. there is one place where coffee might be just a little bit stronger than you bargained for. an entrepreneur in istanbul opening up a coffee shop with a "breaking bad" coffee theme where customers get to put on a haz-mat suit like walter white and jesse pinkman. the owner is really excited about all the attention his shop is getting. >> we have so many tourists. they came from the european side of istanbul, and this is actually -- makes someone proud because you'll be looking too long for a project and the people love it and they want it everywhere. they are like asking when are you opening up in euro, in the states, and this is good. >> well, they are asking and the owner says he's in talks to open up similar shops in dubai,

moscow and the united states. i'm going to go out on a limb. i'm not sure i would want to put on a haz-mat suit to get a cup of coffee or get a cup of could havy that requires me to have a haz-mat suit on. >> good point. i don't even drink coffee. >> nothing to add on that one. >> moving on now, military prosecutors bring a rare charge against an army deserter bowe bergdahl. misbehavior before the enemy and what it could mean for sergeant who was once in taliban activity. >> that and all the day's headlines still ahead on this labor day. there's a new way to buy a car.

a labor day gift for workers. president obama signing an executive order to help hundreds of thousands when they get sick. welcome to a new hour of "happening now." i'm patti ann browne.

>> nice to be with you and nice to be with you at home. happy lay day. i'm leland vitter. the president unveiling a new benefit, paid sick leave forcing kr contractors to pay for sick time. >> take a cue from the rest of the world. work together in a bipartisan fashion. find a way to make paid leave, paid family and medical leave a reality for all americans. that's something we should be doing. >> kevin corke is live at the white house. kevin, very interesting here. he wants congress to act, but he's acting on his own first with an executive action. >> reporter: you're on money once again, my friend. good day to you and happy labor day. he wants congress to go farther because from the white house perspective this is something that all workers, whether they work for the government, whether they are contracted for the government or if they are in the private sector should be able to

access something like paid sick leave, for example, but us a also know they are getting a lot of pushback, especially from small business owners and us a pointed out from congressional lawmakers on capitol hill. want to share a couple of nuggets on what the president unveiled today in signing that executive order. actually pretty interesting and might get broad support in some corners and may require federal contractors guaranteed sick leave and get this it allows workers to use that leave for themselves, a family member or an absence, for example, resulting in from domestic violence. the president spent a great deal of time in that speech talking about the value of unions and how they impact the economy. he says ours is still the envy of the world, and he also took a moment, leland, to warn congressional lawmakers not to shut down the government later this month. >> everybody knows the world economy's pretty volatile right now. our economy is a relative bright spot. we're doing better than just

about everybody else. so a shutdown would be completely irresponsible. it would be an unforced error, a fumble on the goal line. >> a number of football references for that crowd up there in beantown as the nfl season gets set to kick off. one quick labor note i want to share with you before i go, leland. you may have read this week the nlrb, the national labor relations board voted 3-2 to al vow some industries to unionize. among them fast food workers, for example, and that's something the white house has been pushing for quite some time because they feel like that will benefit them in the long run. in fact, in the ride up to boston today on air force one the president was joined by a number of big labor leaders. >> a number of big labor leaders on the plane but one big union not that at that event in boston, the boston police officers union, very upset with the president during that time. kevin corke at the white house. thanks, kevin. patty ann has more >> you bet. as we mentioned, the president is also calling on

congress to extend that paid sick leave requirement to more in the private sector, but the white house is not offering any figures on exactly how much this would cost. the president's latest executive order would provide sick pay for as many as 300,000 federal workers, but the new benefit won't kick in until 2017 after the president leaves office. currently about 40% of the private work force does not get paid if they are out sick. joining us now, steve moore, kwishd visiting fellow of the project for economic growth at heritage foundation and fox news contributor. thanks for joining us, as always. >> hi, patty ann, happy labor day. >> same to you. do these higher costs get passed on to taxpayers. >> this is the part of the story the president doesn't tell. we have a federal government that is 18.5 trillion dollars in debt and running half trillion dollar deficits a year. the federal government should be trying to find ways to reduce this additional cost will eventually be passed on to

taxpayers when it's not affordable right now. i mean, quite frankly, when we've to the these enormous deficits. it's interesting, patty ann. i remember many years ago whm president bill clinton passed a law requiring unpaid -- requiring companies to provide unpaid leave to employees for medical reasons, and i remember president clinton and other liberals said this is not paid leave. this is unpaid leave, and i knew the day was going to come when the federal government, liberals would come back and say, no, we want these companies to pay for paid benefits. it's going to be expensive. we don't know exactly the cost yet, but it could be in the tens of millions of dollars. >> othercations, do you expect some companies to cut jobs rather than absorb that extra cost or charges to the fegt? . >> i want american workers to be the pest paid workers in the world. the problem with this kind of regulation is we've had no wage growth for ten years. when the president talks about how well the u.s. economy is

doing as he did in that clip he just showed is what he doesn't talk about is warningers are feeling left behind. in fact, in ten years real take home pay to workers, patty ann, has actually fallen for the middle class so they are not concerned about getting paid sick leave but just getting a pay raise. what you see in the private sector right now is what's appropriate. businesses that can afford to do this and want to retain their best workers, patty ann, will provide these benefits to retain the workers that they want. one of the problems that i have with this that's not being discussed is you know what businesses get hit hardest with this kind of regulation is the small businesses that are trying to compete for federal contracts but that might not be able to afford these extra costs. >> president obama, as we mentioned, is doing this by executive order, but he's waiting to enact it until 2017 after he leaves office. does this suggest that he knows that this is going to negatively affect the small businesses and the economy. >> i would never impugn his

motives. >> starting dates is interesting, that these costs will be imposed on the next president, not him so i did find that to be very curious, and, again, when you have these big budget deficits and you're doing everything you can, hopefully congress is, to try to reduce these costs, to add these extra costs i think is fiscally responsible. i will guarantee you this, this congress would never approve something like this. i don't think you would get, you know, very many republican votes for this. this is going to set up a big battle royale because some in congress may try to repeal this in the federal appropriations bills. >> interesting. he's looking to have congress expand it and make it a requirement for many companies in the private sector, but it might actually go the other way. you know, supporters of this say, you know, the united states right now is the only industrialized nation that doesn't guarantee workers sick pay, and the labor department says it's going to pay for itself as you pointed out by helping companies to keep their good workers. but is there a data to back up that that's going to cover the cost of this at the federal level? >> this is a really key point

about why mandatory paid leave is a bad idea. you know, when i talked to employers, and that's my job, pat' ann, to find out how do they return good workers and sign good workers? for good workers, the ones we want to keep, the ones that are not slackers, we want to provide them whatever benefits it takes to keep them employed by us. let's face it, we all know people in the job force that are -- that are slackers, that take days off and may, you know, have a sniffle call in sick. those are the workers that a lot of these employers don't want to have to provide a free day's pay for, so you're going to get more people calling in sick as a result of this kind of legislation, and that's going to cost big -- the small businesses, and the reason for that, patty ann, i want to be very clear about this. the big, big, big federal contractors, boeing, they can afford these extra costs. it's the employers, you know, with 25 or 0 employees that want a federal contract. let's face it, the federal government is a $4 trillion enterprise so there's a lot of money sloshing around. those are the ones that will get

hit really hard by this. >> steve moore, thank you as always. happy labor day. >> thank you, you, too. overseas right now where thousands of migrants arrive every day in europe in what is being called the worst refugee crisis to hit the continent since the end of world war ii. the european union is now discussing a quota plan for its member nations. hungary, which has been inundated with refugees trying to get all the way to germany is kri9 call of the idea of distributing the migrants across europe, all this as humanitarian workers simply try to help. >> this e camps are full and th can't get the people bussed away quick enough. >> i want to make future. i want all the same. they want the same, but this country have just one bus. >> they just want a better life, they say. amy kellogg is live in london. hi, amy. >> reporter: hi, leland, and

austria's interior minister said we need not less europe right now, we need more europe and what she means, leland, there has to be a coordinated response to these waves of people moving on rafts, on foot, trains, cars, however they can to make this extraordinary voyage from the middle east to europe and tens of thousands them arrived in germany just over the last couple of days. chancellor merkel has said she would accept anyone who is a legitimate refugee, but many of the migrants have lost or destroyed their passports. it's hard to tell who is who. the syrians, iraqis and eritreans are on the fast track list. british prime minister david cameron riding on the wave of sentiment in this country towards the images of all these people in such difficulty has said britain, too, needs to step it up. >> britain should fulfill its moral responsibility to help those refugees just as we've done so proudly throughout our

history but in doing so we must use our head and our heart by pursuing a comprehensive approach that tackles the causes of the problem as well as consequences. >> reporter: there have been continuous scuffles with police along certain boarders in eastern europe. many of the refugees complained about the treatment they received along the way, those countries defending themselves saying they are just trying to keep their borders secure, and at the moment, leland, nobody is even talking about the potential security risk that some 6 these migrants might pose, and -- and countries are talking about getting to the problem at its source. britain and france talking about stepping up activity against isis, specifically in syria, and finally, leland, prime minister cameron here saying that he is not prepared to accept refugees coming all from within europe, but he wants them to stay in camps along the borders of syria and be processed there because he doesn't want people making those short voyages from turkey to greece and very dangerous ones in the tiny rafts often

without life preservers. >> leland. >> we saw the tragic consequences of those voyages as well. we'll have much more on migrant crisis, amy, with former ambassador john bolton as we take a closer look at the countries not stepping up and doing anything to help the refugees. it will surprise you who those countries are. plus, we'll talk about the dangers that this crisis poses far beyond europe's borders and all the way here to the united states. new information about the amanda knox case. italy's top court now says it was a lack of evidence that led it to toss out the murder convictions for amanda knox and her former boyfriend. the court just releasing its legal reasoning. judges saying they found a complete lack of proof to connect the pair to the crime and slamming the prosecution says the convictions were based on a poor case. meredith kercher was murdered back in italy in 2007. the court's decision in march vind kate knox and her ex in the

farmers across the european union protesting in brussels demanding action to counter the dropping prices they are getting for milk and pork. the police there responding with water cannons. protesters firing back pouring hay on riot police and then setting the bales on fire. the protests at eu headquarters coming at the same time as the meeting of the agriculture ministers there.

the ministers are trying to address the problems of the farmers aeconomy right now. now back to the migrant crisis in europe sparked by the growing unrest in the middle east, specifically syria and iraq, and while some countries in europe are stepping up and taking in refugees, other countries in the middle east are not doing their fair share, countries like saudi arabia, qatar, the united arab emirates, owe man, kuwait and bahrain have taken not a single syrian refugee. joining us now ambassador john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations and a fox news contributor. mr. ambassador, shall we be surprised that even though it is in their backyard the rich gulf arab countries are saying it's not their problem? >> i don't think we should be surprised at all. what they are saying, is look, we don't want our country fundamentally changed by having tenses of thousands of refugees come in, and they are under no international legal obligation to take anybody. i think they would say, look, jordan has absorbed hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees. what the gulf countries could do a lot more is fund the refugee

camps in jordan, in turkey and elsewhere to hold these populations leaving syria and iraq. that i don't think they are doing enough of. >> couldn't you argue that they are doing a lot of funding inside syria, funding isis or at least some of the royal families have been funding isis for a long time? >> several of the gulf countries you just listed there have in fact been supporting isis and part of their struggle with iran. a lot of guilty parties here, no doubt about it. >> there's a lot of guilty parties and let's get to the issue of the innocent folks like the children that you see there. what can be done for them. they are doing as they take rafts across dangerous, dangerous parts of water. hungary doesn't want them. i mean, this is truly crisis like we saw right at end of world war ii. >> here's where the principal failure occurs. those people shouldn't be anywhere near the agean sea or black sea. under the international refugee conventions turkey is the country for first asylum. for almost anybody coming out of

syria or heading to europe, it's turkey's responsibility to provide protection and assistance, and it's the international community's responsibility to help fund that and defray the costs which shouldn't fall on turkey alone, but what turkey is doing is shoveling this problem off to europe. >> turkey doesn't want this problem in their backyard. it's worth noting the number of refugees taken in by each one try in the middle east. turkey to your point, 1.9 million though they are sending some of those out. lebanon 1.1 and jordan 630,000, iraq and egypt follow up on that. put that together, you're a little bit over 2 million people. you have to imagine that some of those folks are isis sympathizers or sleeper agents sent out by isis, go play refugee and see where you end up. >> no question about it and i think they understand under the schengen agreement which for most of the countries in the union union, no border controls once you get inside, that if they can get into greece and go

up into germany that they are free to go anywhere they want in the european union and then to this country. i think there's a very legitimate security issue and david cameron said he'll bring in 0,000 people over a four-year period after their screened in refugee camps in turkey. >> what david cameron is offering a drop in the bucket. rome and the vatican is going to house two families. great, good luck to you. how do you even bother screening these people? some don't have passports and no way to go back and ask these neighbors. was this guy a radical down at the local mosque? >> nobody should assume they are entitled to asylum itself. under traditional refugee option the first option is repaidation when circumstances permit and resettlement is only the second, so i think the first issue is why these people aren't being given protection and assistance at the syrian border and chancellor merkel said that germany would grant asylum to 800,000 middle eastern refugees.

that's 1% of germany's population, the equivalent of the united states granting refugee status to 3 million people, and merkel said just a few days ago this will change germany permanently. i think she's going to have trouble inside germany. by the way, the other european countries are saying we weren't part of that decision. >> you know, all of a sudden you're seeing the split within the eu. ambassador bolton, appreciate your time. all the best. >> patty ann. >> the feds give themselves a failing grade for a program to train syrian rebels to fight terrorists. we'll talk about where they went wrong and what are the options to fix it, and chasing down el chapo. could a social media post have revealed the whereabouts of this wanted drug lord? úr#b

right now, u.s. officials are heading back to the drawing board on a program to train rebels to fight isis in syria. in july a syrian affiliate of al qaeda attacked the 54 fighters when they returned home. some of those fighters were captured and are still being held. classified assessments by the pentagon show the rebels were poorly prepared despite their training. jennifer griffin joins us from the pentagon. where did this training go wrong? >> reporter: well, patty ann, the entire program has been fraught since the start and is now being reviewed at pentagon, as you mentioned. defense secretary ash carter was the first to draw attention to the fact that only 54 syrian opposition fighters had been trained, even though the goal had been to train 5,400 in the first year and even though congress had provided funding from a $500 million training program. the biggest problem has been requiring that the fighters agree not to fight president assad. that's been hard to do. we then learned that when the u.s. military inserted the first

54 recruits into syria in july they were immediately surrounded by the al qaeda-linked nusra front and the u.s. sent a drone to help and it took two hours to get there and by that point some of the recruits had been kidnapped, some fled and others were killed by u.s. stealth fired missiles. it was a disaster. >> can you tell us anything about the f-16 fighter jets the iraqis are flying now. >> yes. remember, the u.s. delivered four u.s. fighters jets to iraq in july after facing a setback when its top air force pilot saddiq training in arizona crashed its plane and was killed in june. the iraqi minister of defense released this video of the defense forces joining the fight against isis and it's done a lot for morale in the iraqi military. >> the participation of f-16 fighter planes will have a big impact on the course of battles in the future, mainly in

targeting extremists and islamic state group hideouts. >> that was iraq's minister of defense who narrowly escaped being killed by a sniper today when his vehicle was attacked north of baghdad while traveling near the contested oil refinery at baiji. patty ann. >> jennifer griffin live at the pentagon, thank you. there is a new clue in the search for al chapo, the drug lord who escaped from a mexican prison in july. his son tweeting out this photo with someone who looks like he could be the cartel leader el chapo along with a location on photo, but police don't know if that location is real or perhaps a head fake designed to throw them off the trail. el chapo escaped from his jail cell through an elaborate tunnel and has not been seen since. >> he is mr. popularity in the gop polls. donald trump even winning over the evangelical vote. why are his numbers growing among conservative christians?

and is there anything his republican rivals can do about it? i have moderate to severe crohn's disease. it's tough, but i've managed. but managing my symptoms was all i was doing. so when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms,

ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

is not even running yet and her numbers are even worse in new hampshire. doug mcelway is live in new hampshire with the numbers. hi, doug. >> reporter: this new nbc news/micheline charest poll is proof that hillary clinton's campaign is falterering and the handling of the e-mail scandal is hurting her badly. ten-point lead clinton health back in july is completely erased and vermont socialist snow shower leads her 42% to 32% in new hampshire and still holds the lead in iowa and gaining ground there, too. 38% for clinton and 27% for sanders and 20% for biden. >> always thought that this was going to be a competitive primary, and i welcome that. i think that this is a contest. it's a contest of ideas, of policies, of, you know, how we present ourselves to the american people. >> reporter: one of the ways that clinton has presented herself to the american people is by resurrecting the so-called war on women, citing among some

other things donald trump's abrasive comments in recent weeks. that's drawing some return fire from the gop candidate who is rising in stature. >> well, first of all, boo hoo mrs. clinton. mrs. clinton is the same person who compared republicans to terrorists? the truth is mrs. clinton has lied as secretary of state about benghazi, about her e-mails, about her server and so when she revives this war on women, make no mistake, she will, this is her go-to line. >> one analyst is suggesting that bernie sanders erase in the polls may be short lived. >> i think bernie sanders is going to do well in states like new hampshire which are very small states. any states with minimum wage or urban environments he's going to get killed by hillary, blacks and hispanics are voting, bernie sanders -- >> reporter: vice president joe biden who has not announced his candidacy has risen to 16% in

new hampshire, a four-point jump in july, sounded more like a candidate than ever at a flael pittsburgh today and is expected to announce his intentions sometime this month. leland? >> doug mcelway live in washington, thanks, doug. on the republican side donald trump can add conservative evangelical christians to his fold. polls are showing he's the preferred candidate, not just for all republican voters but also for the party's evangelicals. a fox news poll from last month showing him doing even better than former arkansas governor mike huckabee who is a former evangelical pastor and texas senator ted cruz who is the son of an evangelical pastor. another poll out of south carolina has trump leading with 33% of evangelical christians backing him so why has this group flocked to donald trump, and what can his fellow gop rivals do to gain ground with this group? joining us now former missouri state senator and author jeff smith and scotty nell hughes of

the tea party network. what is trump's appeal to the evangelicals? >> i think evangelicals are really frustrated within the republican party and angry at establishment. if you look back, from 1968 through 2000, republicans dominated presidential elections and the last two decades they have dominated congressional elections by having candidates who promised they would stop eborings up to 20 weeks, stop gay marriage, stop illegal immigration, and yet -- and they used -- these candidates used republican grass roots evangelical volunteers to knock on the doors and man the phone banks to make those majorities possible and yet when they have gotten into office they cut taxes on dividend income, estate taxes and capital gains that have helped the business class so i think evangelical christians feel deceived by the actions of republican politicians who represent the so-called establish mement. >> just mentioned abortion there. that's one issue on which trump has changed his mind.

there are several that would be of interest to the evangelical christians. how do you account for his popularity with this group? >> have to remember what evangelical means, gel use in advocating something and there's nobody more zealous on the campaign trail in 2016 than donald trump, and you're seeing the evangelical vote really being the anti-establishment vote and what he's saying while it's not specifics on policy none of the candidates have specifics on policy and while they are sitting there throwing these darts and these childish little accusations against each other nobody is specifically listing within their accusations of why that person is not a conservative so if you're another candidate the reason why the evangelicals are still lining up behind donald trump is maybe they don't understand what his past position has been, but i'll caution you this. don't sit there and hold somebody for the sins of their past if they are willing to work for the future. people trust donald trump that they are honestly going to tell him what he wants to do, even if they don't agree, at least they can trust what he's saying.

>> that's what we keep hearing over and over again. he's a straight shooter, even on the issues on which people disagree with him. they know that he's being honest with them and won't say one thing and do something else. he is what he is. how can other candidates gain ground against that? >> i think they are going to struggle to do so. if you look at people like huckabee and santorum once the favorite of evangelicals, their performance ultimately, you know, they didn't cut the miss tarred. they weren't able to win, and evangelicals, if nothing else, i think in my experience as a politician, they love strength. they want a winner. they don't see in donald trump, for example, you know, the jesus who turned the other cheek. they see the jesus of matthew 21 who threw the money changers out of the temple and that's what's drawing a lot of people to them right now is this perception we'll build a fence, get rid of illegal immigrants and we're going to be, you know, the most -- the military hegemon that a lot of white evangelicals

are looking to see. >> scotty, do you see trump being the nominee or is he going to wake up the other candidates to what the voters really want and is someone else going to rise up and fill that void? >> well, at this point he's become teflon don for a reason. they have thrown everything at him from the other side and it hasn't worked so maybe the idea right now and you're seeing it with the rise of ben carson and other conservative candidates they are going to maybe possibly try to take him down with some of the people within his own base. kasich can't do it, jeb cannot and whoever is the nominee they need the evangelical votes. 17 million stayed home in 2012, more than any other dem traffic that the gop continues to talk about. they need to talk to those evangelicals and motivate them to the polls in november if they want to beat whoever the democratic candidate is. >> thank you both so much. >> thanks for having me. >> in addition to desertion

>> two brothers from georgia are in jail accused trying to kill their parents. cameron irvin 17 and christopher irvin 22 both face aggravated assault and arson charges. police say their mother placed a frantic 911 call saturday from the family home just outside atlanta. >> stated to our 911 operator that her sons were trying to kill her and her husband. there was commotion in the background and then the line went silent. >> when officers arrived they found both parents bleeding and seriously injured with stab wounds an blunt force trauma. they were taken to the hospital. so far investigators have not released a motive for the attack. >> the kentucky woman -- the kentucky county clerk jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses has appealed that ruling and is still behind bars. kim davis has cited her christian beliefs for defying the supreme court's ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, so where did this

case go from here? joining us now lis wiehl fox legal news analyst. filed the appeal before the sixth circuit federal court of appeals. >> correct. >> what can we learn from their past rules and where they may rule on this going forward? >> i don't think she has much of a chance because the supreme court has already ruled on this, so if you want to change the law, if you want to have a movement to change the law, if you don't agree with something, that's one thing you can do that, but when the law is there and you are hired to perform a job, carry out that law, you can't really say that my religious beliefs, any of my beliefs, won't let me do that. you can appeal as she's going to appeal but i don't think she's going to win. >> what seems interesting to me is there's been a lot of ways it seems as though she can get out of jail. >> sure. >> and one way or the other, really holds the keys to her own jail release, even if she doesn't perform the same-sex marriages. at some level does the judge realize he's making a martyr out of somebody and in many ways he's one now on the firing seat. >> is it really for the judge to

decide that or her employer for she to go back and negotiate the terms of employment, i won't do that, what is she going to do? the judge to come in and say i'm going to negotiate or i'm going to negotiate with you, that's not what judges are supposed to do. they are supposed to say, look, the law is this way. you may not like it. either change the law or quit. >> interesting enough, so where does this end? how long can she sit in jail for? >> we don't know. >> we could be back here next month. >> the appellate process should be quick. the judge should look at this fairly quickly and say deny. what is she going to appeal to the same supreme court that's already held one way and she's going directly against their ruling? >> not sure the supreme court would take too kindly to that. >> i don't think so. >> wait until perhaps the state legislature comes back and see if they change the law. >> that's, you know, not tomorrow, not next week. >> or what the governor may do and see if he brings them back.

>> right. >> the governor so far said they won't spend the money to bring him back. military prosecutors have announced new charges against sergeant bowe bergdahl. >> right. >> deserter in afghanistan labeling his actions as, quote, misbehavior before the enemy. >> right. >> we look that up and the charge hasn't been used much since the 1940s. what does it mean and why is this important? >> brilliant from the prosecutor's point of view because what they have desertion, up to 20 years, misbehavior which hasn't been used since the '40s, a little bit but not that much. that could carry up to a life sentence. just his leaving, his deserting and leaving his company and leaving his other comrades to go look for him, that could be misbehavior before the enemy. it's actually an easier charge to make even though it hasn't been made very often than his desertion and carried more time. on the defense side they will say wait a second, what do you mean the misbehavior thing, back in the 1940s, why are you drudging this?

you must be really drudging something up and stretching to get there. >> still in the uniform code. >> absolutely. right here in the uniform code. at some level when you look at this and consider, as you pointed out, the difference in possible penalties for desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, looks like they are throwing the book at this guy. >> you do this as a prosecutor. as a former prosecutor myself, you throw everything you can, everything against the kitchen sink knowing some things won't fit and some things will and you always want to go with the higher charge, one that gives you the most charge and for them to go back to the 190s and pull this out, again is it's brilliant. >> trying to twist his arm into a plea deal. >> they may be, but so far he's not been amenable to a plea deal. sought out in california a couple weeks ago, why he was even left, a consortium of people in a marijuana bust, not part of it but he was out there. he's shown no remorse, no remorse at this point.

>> interesting enough. we'll see if this new charge changes his feelings there. >> it might. >> sometimes the possibility of life in prison. >> dangling at you it might change his mind. >> all right. lis, thank you very much. >> you got it. >> patti ann. >> leland, left-leaning group is trying to change the name of ronald reagan national airport in d.c. back to washington national airport. the group's petition is entitled tell john boehner rename ronald reagan airport. it's already gotten more than 65,000 signatures and some passengers have mixed feelings. >> i think that's just silly. i mean, frankly, we have so many, much more significant issues to deal with in washington, d.c. >> i think it's appropriate to change it back to washington because it represents the area and our historic city of washington, d.c. >> the petition reportedly says that since house speaker john boehner took exception to the obama administration's renaming of alaska's mt. mcconditional as
