another. a ship later saw flashing lights from the deserted island and spotted the s.o.s., that's how they were saved. >> that's how it works. >> the old fashioned way. >> thanks for joining us. "america's election headquarters "starts right now. good afternoon. starting out with a flash alert from the fbi. after foreign hackers break into state election systems right here at home. hello, everyone, i'm heather nauert. the fbi cyber division now warning election officials nationwide after discovering that hackers penetrated election databases in two states. the urgent bulletin asking for help from cybersecurity professionals and system administrators, stating the information in this product is only for members of their own organization and those with direct need to know. our chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is dialed in on this one, she has more from washington. catherine, tell us what hackers were able to get. >> reporter: thanks, heather.

this four-page fbi flash alert first obtained by yahoo! news and independently confirmed by fox was sent to election officials after foreign hackers targeted welcomes databases in two states. the fbi reports eight i.p. addresses used available software to scan for vulnerabilities and voter data was stolen. at least one i.p. address was used, suggesting coordination. the fbi alert asks that states contact their board of elections and determine if any similar activities to their logs, both inbound and outbound, has been detected. homeland security secretary jeh johnson offered federal experts to scan for additional weaknesses and to shore up the voting system. homeland security is responsible for protecting critical infrastructure like the power

grid. there is a growing consensus among cyberspecialists the federal government should also provide a safety net for the national committees, dnc and rnc, and to the actual voting process itself, heather. >> 72 days before the election. we'll see if the federal government can do something on that. catherine, do we know which two states? >> reporter: there's been a lot of confusing information. originally yahoo! reported illinois and arizona. we believe illinois was affected, but we are less clear on arizona, heather. >> catherine herridge, we'll check in for more from you on this, thanks so much. for more, chris stirewalt is fox news's digital editor. chris, obviously is something hacks this, they could potentially manipulate the results of the 2016 election. this is a huge deal. >> we don't have any evidence that they're into the way things are counted and that anybody has gotten in so far. we don't know, but nobody's gotten in to mettle with the

actual count. they could have registered people be unregistered, and that's a dangerous space to be in. even if they can't pull that off, if these foreign entities are able to decrease further american confidence in the sanctity and good conduct of our elections, they may have done something just as damaging as actually affecting the outcomes themselves. >> this certainly plays right into what donald trump has been saying, this is a rigged election. and one of those states that may have been targeted is arizona, where he will be giving a speech on immigration on wednesday. >> mm-hmm. we have a long history of losing candidates or candidates who are behind complaining about the electoral process. we remember that when the democrats lost in 2000, certainly democrats have made a lot about what they say is voter suppression through voter identification laws passed in several states, saying it's a deliberate attempt by republicans to suppress turnout. so we have a long history of the

sour grapes side of the aisle saying this was rigged. but if we have foreign powers playing on those fears, playing on those anxieties, you could have a problem in an election process that actually works well. >> remember those old hanging chads from the good old days? those seemed like such a brilliant idea by comparison when you start to talk about russians potentially hacking our election system. gosh, remember the hanging chads? >> i bet paper ballots are coming back into vogue over time. >> meantime, chris, you know our interns are, a hanging who, what did chad do, what's he hanging from? chris, i want to ask you about this, because donald trump is now spending $10 million in nine battleground states, ads targeting ohio, pennsylvania,

florida, that's where the campaign has already been on the air along with first time air buys in arizona, colorado, iowa. by comparison, clinton is spending $68.2 million. he's spending 4 $4.3 million. >> the technical term for that is "more." look, trump is playing catch-up here, but he's playing. the money is coming out, the ad is quite good. the economy continues to be one of his stronger issues, when we look at how voters perceive the two candidates. he's coming out and saying she's bad with the economy, your taxes are going to go up, i'm good with the economy, i'm going to make america rich, and that's a good message for him. >> it's still the top issue for voters. but this is a week where he's supposed to be talking about

immigration, giving a big speech on wednesday. usually campaigns like to have a consistent theme. this one seems less sure-footed. why not consolidate the message and just have one this week? >> to do this turn-about on immigration, and sounds like he's setting himself up, based on what we've heard from his campaign advisers, for something of an about-face on what critics would call amnesty, or some means by which people who have entered the united states illegally can stay or return home and then come back and stay. he's got to offload that inventory before it gets later in the election. he's got to get it done now, regardless of the ad campaign. >> he talked about a softening of his position on immigration, then talked about a hardening, over the weekend there was different talk about it. how is that overall confusion, i think it's fair to call it, how is that playing with voters right now? >> we don't know yet. he's got a minute to try to sort this out. i think where you have to end up

if you're donald trump is he's got to build the wall or say he's going to build the wall, 40 feet tall, tunnel technology, all this stuff. he's got to emphasize border security, so that as he pushes hard on that, he can then turn and say but we are going to do this a little different internally so we won't have a mass deportation force taking people out of the country. new pew numbers are out which say while they agree with trump on immigrants, they don't agree with his policies, so we have to, as we say, true that up. >> thanks, chris, we'll see you again. hillary clinton's top aide huma abed bebedin announcing te has decided to separate from her husband anthony weiner, the disgraced congressman, over reports that he's sent messages

to a woman on social media. rob schmitt has more. >> reporter: abedin released a statement saying, "i have made the decision to separate from my husband. anthony and i remain devoted to doing best for our son who is the light of our life. during this difficult time of i ask for respect and for privacy," after "the new york post" publishes a story saying that he was in contact with a woman for 19 months. she says they never met in person. the most jarring photo is the small picture on the cover, showing weiner a house-husband in his underwear, laying in bed next to his toddler son, taking that photo. the woman, who is remaining anonymous, responded to the photo, according to "the new york post," you realize you can see your blank in that pic."

anthony weiner resigned from congress after he was caught sending messages to women. then his numbers tanked while he was running for new york mayor when he was caught sexting again under the name "carlos danger." donald trump's campaign has released a statement, saying it's possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromised. heather? >> rob schmitt, thank you so much and welcome to fox news, look forward to meeting you in person. >> reporter: absolutely, thank you. folks are hunkering down in the southeast. two major storm systems threaten

to slam into them and bring lots of rainfall. senior meteorologist janice dean, j.d., is standing by in the weather center, that's coming up. three escaped prisoners on the loose, one a convicted killer. the latest on the desperate efforts to catch them. we'll be right back. stick around.

welcome back. a fox news alert coming out of louisiana at this hour where there is a manhunt under way for three escaped prisoners, one a convicted murder. police warn folks in the area to be careful because these guys are considered dangerous. trace gallagher is tracking this for us in our newsroom. trace, good afternoon and what can you tell us about these guys?

>> heather, it happened in natchitoches parish in louisiana. the sheriff says the three inmates escaped saturday night. it's unclear how they know the exact time of the escape yet apparently they were not aware the inmates were gone for some time. no word on how the men escaped. but to get outside the prison, the inmates had to scale two fences, both with rolls of razor wire at the top. the felons have been identified as 24-year-old michael elliot, 35-year-old wall shea mitchell, serving time for amendment robbery, and 34-year-old willie ethridge, convicted of attempted murder. two of the men were wearing black sweatpants and sweatshirts. their clothing may have helped them scale the razor wire. none of the inmates was armed at the time of the escape. but clearly that could change. either way, police say they should be considered very dangerous. the sheriff's department continues following up new leads. they believe the escapees are still in north west louisiana,

although they won't say why they believe that. if you spot the men, they say, do not confront them, simply call 911. the natchitoches prison has 550 inmates and they did have another escape back in january, but that inmate was quickly apprehended. updates on the search as they come in. >> considered armed and dangerous. trace, thank you. a fox extreme weather alert. we're tracking two storm systems, both gaining strength. one moving into the gulf of mexico, the other passing close to the outer banks of north carolina. our senior meteorologist janice dean is live for us at the fox weather center. janice, good afternoon to you. tell us how this could potentially impact folks here at home. >> we are watching two storms, as you mentioned. also in the pacific, a couple of storms that could hawaii. we'll also mention that. we've got hurricane gaston. the good news is this is not going to affect land.

tropical depressions 8 and 9 will move into the gulf of mexico in 12 to 24 hours. depression number 8 off the coast of the carolinas here, we think brushing the outer banks sometime tuesday into wednesday. we think as a minimal tropical storm, but it's not getting its act together. could see rain bands from the storm and gusty winds from that system, we'll watch that. this one is more pressing, because we think it has more time over open water to organize. and we do potentially think there is going to be landfall within the next couple of days. whether it's a storm or a minimal hurricane, we'll see the same effects. we think the computer models are coming into agreement across north florida into central florida. here is one of our forecast models. the future radar will show you certainly going downhill in terms of weather across the sunshine state tuesday. wednesday, we could potentially see an eye feature here. the upper level winds are we

think not going to strengthen into a major hurricane. we could see a minimal hurricane upon landfall on thursday. this computer model certainly indicating that, along the big band of florida. regardless, heather, something to watch, because it's like bath water in the gulf of mexico. the fuel that this thing needs to strengthen. certainly watching this over the next couple of days and we'll keep an eye on tropical depression number 8. >> it sounds like these storms are not at risk of merging. >> no, not at all. >> our friends in louisiana, who have suffered from so much flooding, how will they make out in all this? >> we think okay. i want to caution, we have a few days here. people need to be on the alert, our friends in texas, louisiana, keep an eye on it. we' >> you always do, janice dean, thank you very much. another big state department

welcome back. a fox news alert. donald trump's running mate, mike pence, holding a town hall in georgia. he's talking about jobs and trump's plan to reinvigorate the economy. the fox news decision team,

that's a group of pollsters and experts, recently looked at all of the data and moved georgia from leaning gop to a toss-upstate. the last time georgia went for a democrat was back in 1992, when bill clinton narrowly beat out george h.w. bush. we'll continue to monitor mike pence down there in georgia and bring you any news. two people killed in a bus crash on a louisiana highway and at least 36 others were hurt. and now the driver and that bus company could both face charges. the bus was carrying some 40 construction workers on the way to start rebuilding root in-ravaged areas near baton rouge, louisiana. but according to police, this man, who was behind the wheel of that bus, was an illegal immigrant from honduras and he did not have a driver's license. our legal panel is here to weigh

in. phil segal and lou smith are here. so this guy, if that report is accurate, has broken two laws, onehere illegally, two, driving without a license. why wasn't he without bars? >> he should have been behind bars. the company that owned the bus certainly had noticed that this guy did not have a driver's license and had already been pulled over. why did this company let this guy, he wasn't an employee of the company, let's give the company that, let's say they didn't employ him, why did they let him have access to driving this bus? they're going to be on the hook for negligent homicide, which is a criminal act. that means the president of this company could be looking at jail time. >> phil, not just negligent

homicide but also negligent injury, reckless operation, and driving without a license. what could happen to the guy and the company? >> i suspect the company could be finished. you've got wrongful death suits on the civil sight. it's not so much the criminal action against the company that i would be worried about. it would be the wrongful death suit. as lis said, they were on notice that this person, if it's true, didn't have a driver's license. even without notice, you have a responsibility when you employ somebody to drive people in a commercial setting, to make sure they have a license. >> to run down that driver's license and make sure there is in fact a driver's license. >> if he had a fake driver's license and they took the trouble to ask where it was and they have a photo cop copy of w they thought was a real driver's license, they could have some good faith defense. but if they can't produce a driver's license that he showed them, then the company and the person, never mind the criminal penalties, is looking at

gigantic civil penalties. and there would be no insurance coverage. >> if they can't do such a basic thing, check to make sure the driver's license is accurate, what other basic things aren't they doing? are they hiring convicted felons or people with multiple duis? what other basic things is this company not doing? >> reports are that he was carrying day laborers, people lined up on the street to get a job somewhere, good pickin's there if you're going to louisiana where folks need a lot of help. >> exactly. it doesn't really matter to me who was in the bus. i mean, they were thinking these were people, whether they're illegal or not, they were all injured, by the way, so their lives are still just as important, and they're going to have lawsuits as well. the people that were injured, were killed, were another driver in a completely other car. and a firefighter who was there trying to help people in another

crash. >> and who is a father of two as well. >> so sad. >> phil, another angle, the day laborers, if they were working for a construction company, which sometimes construction companies will hire these guys, would that firm be liable as well? >> i don't see how. if they are independent contractors, you're not -- >> if they're illegal. >> if they're illegal but not full-time employees, employers don't have to check their employment status. the real liability here is the driver's license. whoever put that guy behind the wheel of a bus to drive other people without checking to see whether he had a driver's license, even if he were a little immigrant, if you or i were put in front of a bus to drive the bus and we didn't have a driver's license to drive a bus around, that company that hired us would be in big trouble, regardless. >> i think we agree, the driver's license is the real

key. the guy will serve time and be exhort deported, obviously. >> not necessarily obviously, because there are people who commit serious criminal acts and don't get deported, we have tons of statistics about that. >> i retract that statement, because you're right. but two people were killed and 40 injured, you would think that would be enough to get the guy deported. go you're right. thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. newly obtained video appears to show former president bill clinton's meeting with attorney general loretta lynch, you know, the one on the tarmac in arizona. we'll tell you about that. a state department briefing under way at this hour as new e-mails shed light on the relationship between hillary clinton's time there and her family foundation. we'll bring you the latest. the u.s. is about to announce that we've reached our goal of now accepting 10,000 syrian refugees, as rudy guiliani had this to say about

watch, senior political correspondent mike emanuel is live for us in washington. mike, is there evidence that the clinton foundation controversy has hurt clinton in the poll numbers so far? >> reporter: heather, that's not clear at this point. the pollster handling the monmouth poll notes the margin has narrowed since hillary clinton's post-convention bounce. but she is holding on to an edge over donald trump among key voting blocs. it shows her with 46% of likely voters, 39% supporting donald trump, 7% for gary johnson and 2% for the green party's jill stein. yet the clinton foundation controversy is not going away, such as efforts to get tickets to a lunch with the chinese minister. huma abedin and doug band discuss possible guests at leveralunch with the chinese president, including with people who had

donated to the clinton foundation. the head of the dnc says it's no big deal. >> somebody who's a donor or activist saying, i want to come into a room and meet people, we all see criminalized behavior that is normal. i don't see what the smoke is. >> other well-known democrats have called for closing the foundation or stopping foreign donations to it now, heather. >> mike, tell us about the video, switching gears a little bit, that fox has tracked down of another controversy that involves the clintons and attorney general loretta lynch on the tarmac in arizona, this of course as the federal government was investigating her. tell us about that. >> reporter: the meeting was widely reported on at the time. now we've tracked down surveillance video. it was when attorney general loretta lynch met with former president bill clinton on the tarmac in phoenix, at the time

when the justice department was close to finishing their probe into hillary clinton's e-mail use while on the state department. it appears to show mr. clinton leaving a black suv and walking toward a plane, heather. >> mike emanuel live for us in washington, thank you. taking a closer look at the latest e-mails, and one exchange between the clinton foundation executive, doug band, and hillary clinton's top aide, huma abedin, band wrote about a request from a foundation that had given $20 million to the clinton foundation, the request was that the head of that foundation be seated at a luncheon. doug band replied, "i'll ask." joe trippi, a former howard dean campaign manager and fox news

contributor, and a former spokeswoman for president george w. bush. i want to go back to something that was said, it was considered to be normal behavior. is that normal behavior? >> well, it's not normal behavior. you don't want to be mixing the charity, nonprofit work with the dealings in the state department. it was very clear that hillary clinton came out and during her confirmation hearing, she said she would disclose all her donors and there would be a firewall between the state department and the clinton foundation. the more of these e-mails that come out, it almost comes across as if the state department is the personal receptionist for the clinton foundation. those are the types of activities where it is falling into that appearance of the conflict of interest, this

perception that it is pay for play. and i think that's why for hillary clinton, the clinton foundation is becoming a big headache for her and her campaign. >> a big headache, at least somewhat publicly. but joe, i'm not sure how well this is going to resonate with voters. is this something that voters will care about, the appearance that donors were given special access to top government officials? >> i think when the donors are melinda gates, nobel prizewinners, the rockefeller foundation -- >> the foreign governments. >> hold on a second. one of the top honchos at ubs. >> go on, mercedes, it's all your show, go ahead. >> that was me talking there, joe. i pointed out, correctly so, that some of those big donors, don't just act like it's pie in the sky kumbaya stuff. some of them were bill wall street banks that hillary clinton claims to rail against but has taken so much money from. >> as i was saying, people like melinda gates, the nobel prize

winners, the rockefeller foundation, who have both would-be meetings with the secretary of state, regardless of who was in power or who was in the administration, and who do give to -- have a record of giving to aids prevention, which right now 11 million of the people out there who receive aids drugs worldwide, of the 17 million who receive them, get them from the clinton foundation. so no, i think when voters look at that, i agree -- >> joe, hold on a second. >> the opposition -- mercedes can make the -- >> major foundations, major organizations and foreign countries, to give money to the clinton foundation and then get special access with -- >> there wasn't special access. >> that's not special access, getting seated next to the vice president of the united states, meetings with hillary clinton? and the state department won't release who exactly she met with until after the election.

>> right. there's a history of these foundations, we have the points of light foundation, we have president george herbert walker bush -- >> also saudi arabia. >> you can't make that comparison. >> why can't we make that comparison? wait. no, no, let me finish. george w. bush was not president of the united states when his father wass of dollars for his foundation? by the way. >> you're trying to whitewash this. >> they were giving money and getting special access. >> i'm not trying to whitewash anything. >> this is about transparency. i know you want to fill i buster this segment. >> go ahead. >> clinton handed over 30,000 e-mails. the fbi found 15,000 more e-mails that clinton had not handed over.

so yes, bring it all out, have the clinton foundation come forth and disclose what was happening with these meetings and this access. we know that the fact that doug band kept contacting, communicating to huma at the state department, trying to seek favors, and it's going to come out, the truth will come out. i tell you, it looks very poorly upon the clintons and the foundation and the mere fact that the clintons have benefitted, made millions. >> they didn't make a penny off of that and you know it. >> we've got to leave the debate. >> sure, let's leave the debate. >> we don't have all the time in the world. happy to have you here, joe, and america a mercedes, we'll talk to you get. iraqi security forces say five bombers took part in an attack on a wedding. only one was able to detonate

explosives, the other four were killed by security forces. isis is claiming responsibility. connor powell is live from our middle east bureau. >> reporter: heather, as isis is losing territory in iraq and syria, they're proving once again they're still capable of planning and carrying out attacks. sunday night's attack targeted a wedding party outside of baghdad, a part of the city that had not seen a big record of attacks. isis said in a statement online that the attackers were all iraqis and they battled security forces for several hours. iraqi officials offered a slightly different description of the events. all the attackers were killed. 54 people in yemen were killed by isis today, a car bomb exploded outside a government training example outside the port city of aden. yemen of course is in the middle

of a bloody civil war. the chaos there we've seen in the last few years last allowed both al qaeda and isis to expand and really reach parts of the country that they had not. it's one of the few places were isis is sort of poking their heads out and having more success than they are, say, in iraq and syria, heather, where they're very much on the defensive these days. >> connor powell live for us in our middle east newsroom, thank you. a fox news alert, the white house announcing president obama will meet his goal to accept 10,000 syrian refugees into the united states by the end of the day today. the administration releasing a statement that reads, quote, thanks to careful coordination between the departments of state, homeland security, and health and human services, we are able to announce that in the next 24 hours, we will have met president obama's goal of resettling 10,000 syrian refugees to the united states by the end of this fiscal year. a man confessing to murder

together. they were both 35 years old and have ties to the u.s. military. along with being an airline pilot, one has spent 28 years in military intelligence for u.s. air national guard. he has also been praised by the faa as being a, quote, positive influence. the other pilot joined american airlines last year after serving as an air force instructor pilot. the passengers scheduled to fly on the flight to newark say they could see some hubbub at the airport but didn't know exactly what. one tweeted, quote, what is going on with glasgow/newark flight 162? very little information, been here for hours. turns out their new jersey flight ended up being ten hours late. united airlines issued a statement saying, quote, the two pilots have been removed from service and their flying duties. we are cooperating with the authorities and will conduct our own investigation as well. the safety of our customers and

crew is our highest priority. last month, two canadian pilots were also charged with trying to fly drunk from scotland to toronto, charges are still pending against them. by the way, the legal blood alcohol level for pilots is .04, which is half the legal limit for drinking and driving. heather? >> trace gallagher, thank you. some terrifying moments caught on camera. an off-duty new jersey transit officer risks his life to save this man despite an oncoming train. plus fans burning football jerseys after san francisco 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick refuses to stand during the national anthem. was it right or was it wrong? >> i have a ton of family members from my cousins to my grandfather served world war ii. everybody is entitled to their opinion. but at the same time, you know, you can still respect the nation that gives you the allotted

cap per income -- kaepernick has been a polarizing figure. >> this has caused a strong reaction both against and for. where does this go from here? >> reporter: good question. some people that believe he probably would have been cut prior to this. this may force the 49ers hand to keep him. we don't know that for sure. the niners have to cut two players by tomorrow and another 20 or so before the first game. so a couple more cuts still coming. all team goes through that. but a lot of pro and against. a lot of people said the new york giant appeared to make their own stand on their game yesterday where the entire team and staff stood side-by-side on the sideline yesterday for in the national anthem and we have some reactions from fans on both sides. take a listen. >> for me it's being a veteran

and stuff, it's different when you put that -- i understand his point of view but i don't think that was the right arena to do so, especially with the national anthem and how that means so much more to other people. >> absolutely has a right to sit down if he wants to, and certainly it's an issue that we have that needs to be addressed and in as many ways as possible, and our athletes have the venue to really broadcast that in a broad sense. >> reporter: i talked with somebody with close connections to the team this morning and made a good point saying when kaepernick was the starter and star a couple years ago when ferguson was happening he didn't do this. now he is the backup and now never want to have this kind of controversy from your backup. >> we'll be right back.
