only at applebee's. >> shannon: have yourself a great weekend. >> bill: you're out next week. is that allowed? >> shannon: don't miss me too much! and has to happen. i'll be back. >> bill: have a great friday everybody. ♪ >> julie: president trump jetting back to the u.s. right now after a whirlwind trip to france with major challenges facing him here back home. hello everyone and welcome to "happening now," i'm julie banderas. >> leland: it's friday, we made it. great to be with you. i'm weel invented in for scott president trump and president macron marked but still in pari

paris. video of the present presidentg up the steps. they took off for new jersey hours ago. there's a lot waiting for the president when he arrives. new details are emerging in the russia investigation and senate republicans set to face a do-or-die moment in their effort to repeal and replace obamacare. john roberts traveling with the president in paris and while he was enjoying all the festivities, he was also tweeting about things back home. >> he was, and we'll get to that in a second. another evolution in this story, this firestorm of controversy surrounding donald trump, jr., and his meeting in june of 2016 with russian attorney natalia veselnitskaya. there is a new revelation out today that there were more people who are at that meeting than previously reported, including a russian-american lobbyist who is a former soviet

counterintelligence associate. it was confirmed that he was in that meeting and he was in the soviet army from 1986-1988. it appears as though there may have been yet another person in that meeting, donald trump, jr.,'s attorney told fox news that he spoke with another russian-american named. this person was a friend of natalia veselnitskaya who is the attorney and a russian pop star who is a friend of donald trump, jr., whose father really set off this whole cascade of events by offering up information on hillary clinton. this person is a u.s. citizen and has no connection to the russian government. i know it's quite convoluted, it's getting even more so, it's

swirling around president trump heading home today on air force one after a whirlwind trip to paris, one that lasted less than 30 hours. the president this morning spending a couple of hours reviewing the troops alongside french president macron at the annual bastille day celebration. the president viewing some american troops at this centennial at the u.s. involvement in world war i and how american forces have turned the tide and really rescued france from a fate that would have been completely different than the france we see now. it's a show of solidarity between the united states and france on this, the year anniversary of that horrible horrible attack in the town of nice when a person took a truck and turned it into a weapon and mowed down more than 500 people, killing 86 of them. as he was on his way home, the president started to turn his view back to domestic issues tweeting about the health care bill in the senate and how he would like to see across his desk before everybody heads home

in the august recessed. the president tweeting republican senators are working hard to get there felt obamacare replacement approved. i will be at my desk, pen in hand. the president clearly anxious to sign it. the president also tweeting, so important republican senators under leadership of senator mcconnell, get health care approved. after seven years of obamacare disaster, it must happen. his visit in france was a success. it was probably a welcome diversion from the firestorm back home. >> leland: for sure, now perhaps a golf tournament this afternoon at his country club before getting back to work. john roberts in paris, thank yo thank you. julie you've got more. >> julie: meanwhile, it's a make or break moment as john just mention for senate republicans as they await the score from the congressional budget office on revised health care bill.

as majority leader, mitch mcconnell struggled to muster support for the measure, they are ratcheting up the pressure for and against the plan. >> this legislation will put american health care back on a path to more freedom, more choices. >> the meat of this bill is exec with the same as it was before and in some ways, they somehow managed to make it even worse. >> julie: let's bring up the woodhouse correspondent for reuters. thank you for talking to us. what does that say first of all for president trump who hasn't weighed in on health care for a couple weeks to now be weighing in on this trip to france? >> he's been sort of holding back a little bit on the health care bill as they hash it out. the white house has been very involved in that process, but we've heard as much from the president himself. the fact that he is not tweeting about it on his way back to the united states shows that he's

ready to really engage again. because it's getting to a critical time. the majority leader has called on congress and called on the senate to stay in session for a couple extra weeks and wanted to have a vote on this bill next week. as we are seeing, it's still pretty precarious for the public as to whether or not they will be able to get it passed. >> julie: it's a critical stage. president trump praising vice president mike pence forgetting it this far, but i don't know if it's far enough. here's a tweet he had written this morning and he writes, mike pence is working hard on health care and getting our wonderful republican senators to do what is right for the people. the problem is that among those senators, you've got some republican senators were not going to budge. yesterday, senator mike collins from maine, senator rand paul said they won't support it. in fact, they don't even want to called up for a debate. what are the main issues that they are fighting? >> that's exactly right and it

shows there is a divide between moderates and the party and more conservatives on the party. on the moderate side, you have concern that gutting medicaid is going to leave people in their states and these home states of republican senators without enough health care coverage and on the conservative side, you have a concern that you're leaving too much of the affordable care act otherwise known as obamacare in place. again, it's been a goal of republicans for 7 years and one that they've articulated over and over again by president trump during the 2016 campaign to repeal obamacare and replace it. the process of doing that has turned out to be quite a bit harder than they anticipated. >> julie: some of the amendments to the bill include actually keeping some of the obamacare taxes and that is something a lot of conservatives have problems with because they want full repeal. for example, individuals taking over $200,000, obamacare taxes remain. that does appeal to some of the

moderates, but it then alienates some of the conservatives. is it possible to make both sides happy and how does mcconnell pull that off? >> that's a terrific question. it's hard to answer. he's got a little bit more time to do that, but that goes straight to the divide we were talking about. both sides have issues about the bill and finding a way for both of them to be happy with a compromise is the only way that he is going to be able to get to that threshold that he needs. >> julie: you got the august recessed that's been postponed by two weeks. some people have come forward and said they'd be willing to give up their august recessed just to get this passed. that's how important this is to the g.o.p. they've been wanting to repeal and replace obamacare for 7 years and so far they haven't really gotten enough to get the votes. mcconnell can only afford to lose two republicans and at this stage, it doesn't look like he's going to be under that number. what would failure to pass this bill mean for the white house especially come tax reform and

that agenda moving forward? >> i'm glad you mention tax reform. the fact that if health care were to not be approved, it has ramifications, not only for itself, but for their legislative agenda overall. there are ramifications for tax reform and just in general, the ability of congress that is republican-controlled and the white house it is republican-controlled, if they're not able to harness that to get through legislation that they promised, then it's going to raise questions as to whether they can on other issues, be that tax reform or be at others. >> julie: jeff mason, thank you so much. >> leland: palestinian israeli at leaders talking our rare phone call after two israeli police officers were shot and killed at a holy site in jerusalem this morning. john, we know the israeli police sealed it off earlier for friday

prayers, is it back open yet? >> they are allowing more people in, basically there are people living inside the old city, people who are staying inside the old city, who are just tourists or work inside. you know this gate, lee lynn, it's one of the nine entrances. let's walk a little closer. these gates, these entrances were all shut down after today's attack, along with the roads which were barricaded off, it's very unusual but this would happen, but today, because of the severity of today's attack, there is a high security presence. it looks like there are some people who may have been turned around were pretty upset. as we look at the dramatic cell phone video, and happened just after 7:00 this morning when they say fire was opened on israeli police.

the attackers ran into the temple mount or gunfire ensued. police shot and killed the attackers who were armed. two police officers that were also shot and critically injured later died of their wounds and in response to the attack, israeli police shut down. it is really president while condemning today's attack also called for those so called status quo to remain unchanged. that is muslims allowed to worship at the temple mount, at the western wall. for now, one of the most important and holiest religious sites in the world remain on lockdown. here, they are allowing some people in, but they're very tight, restrictions remained tight as far as who they are allowing inside.

>> leland: the trump administration continues there push for a deal, this does not help. john huddy there in jerusalem, thank you. >> julie: the president's troubled band losing another court battle. the federal judge who is against the ban, we'll have that straight ahead. plus today marks two years since the iran nuclear deal was signed. why our next guest says the agreement isn't working with the way president obama had hoped. >> this deal makes our country and the world safer and more secure.

(baby crying) (slow jazz music) ♪ fly me to the moon ♪ and let me play (bell ringing) (audience cheering) >> leland: president trump expected to certify on monday that iran is in compliance with the nuclear deal as we mark the second anniversary of the agreement. this comes, despite a strongly worded letter by four u.s. senators saying iran isn't living up to its end of the bargain. speaking of that bargain, here's what president obama promised

two years ago. >> the bottom line is this, this nuclear deal meets the national security interest of the united states and its allies. it prevents the most serious threat, iran attaining a nuclear weapon which would only make you late problems that iran can cause even worse. >> leland: vice president of the american foreign policy council joins from washington. good to see you. fair to say the united states has lived up to its end of the bargain on this deal, has around two years end? >> the answer is yes and no. i think in order to understand what iran has done and hasn't done, we have to remember that this is a sweetheart deal for the islamic republic. this is an agreement that is enormously favorable to the iranian regime. it's given them tremendous economic offsets and economic benefits. the iranians are certainly complying with the letter of the

deal as the trump administration has a certified already wants and is likely to certify next week, but the iranians aren't complying with the spirit of the agreement. >> leland: shocking. >> exactly. the obama admin attrition made an enormous gamble. the answer is, we haven't done anything like that. we've given them the offsets. they reached enormous benefits, but the iranian behavior is bad ends getting worse as a result of the deal. >> leland: we saw president obama make the point that you just made, if we give the iranians are good enough deal, suddenly they will see the error of their ways and life will be grand in the middle eas middle east. it has been more than five months since president donald trump declared

that he was putting a run on notice. that's turning it into a rather comfortable place. even this and administration put the deal aside, they have not really paid a price for their support of bashar all is odd, for the continued support of terrorism and their continued action against the u.s. military in iraq. >> there are two things in play here. first of all, the white house is finding out, now that it's in an office, the new administration, that it's much harder to roll back the iranian nuclear deal than they thought. because it's a multilateral agreement, because there is other parties, negotiating parties of the table and a lot of the benefits have already been conferred to iran. on the other hand, they have an enormous obligation, the obligation is to push back against iran in the areas where it's behaving badly. as to curtail the potential benefits of the deal that have been conferred so far and it's to shape iranian behavior and

not the process they're working on now. >> leland: allow people said there have not been consequences for their bad behavior. let us know if there are any consequences so you can come back and talk to us about them. good to see you, sir. >> julie: confession after the shocking discovery of human remains buried on a farm in pennsylvania. what cosmo dinardo told police. the 20-year-old right there in the orange jumpsuit, about the murders of four young men and his involvement. plus a forensic pathologist and a police officer will weigh in on the murders and what authorities know about a motive. >> why did he do it? >> he left, he gave a full confession to the district attorney. any other relevant evidence for arguments or details --

>> leland: a fox news alert, as a pennsylvania man has now confessed to four murders, we are now hearing another person who is possibly in custody in connection. those four victims all disappeared last week, there between the ages of 19-22. investigators identified one of the bodies found buried on a farm owned by the suspect's family. and now, the suspect's attorney says his client confessed in exchange for prosecutors agreeing not to seek the death penalty. >> cosmo dinardo gave a full confession to the district attorney and he admitted to his participation of the four murders. >> he killed all four and buried all four? >> he admitting to be part of or

responsible for all four. >> leland: rick leventhal, doylestown pennsylvania. have we heard anything from the d.a. about this yet? >> no, we haven't heard from the d.a. and 24 hours now. we were supposed to have a briefing this hour, it was pushed back to 2:00 p.m. which is about 15 minutes from that 9e authorities have been digging all week and a search for those four missing men and on wednesday night, they finally came across a mass grave and came across at least one of the missing men. >> mr. cosmo did get that full confession and was very forthright and gave all relevant details. >> the news of that confession

coming from dinardo's attorney, as you heard, word of the possible accomplice coming from the associated press quoting someone who is reportedly involved. our fox affiliate in philadelphia was on scene last night when that second person of interest was taken into custody, but we can't yet confirm if he's been charged or if he's even connected to these four murders which were reportedly committed one of the time. the victim shot, burned, and buried. so far, only 19-year-old dena fuchs cro has been identified we are waiting on confirmation of the other three. we are expecting an update here at 2:00 this afternoon. just an awful time for the families of those missing. >> leland: awful in every way imaginable. rick leventhal, thanks. >> julie: for more on this, let's bring in sean larkin, a

tulsa police officer who helped organize their gang unit, he was also featured on amd's live tv show. also, dr. baden. thank you so much. sergeant larkin, i want to ask, he admitted to killing all four, he gave the location of all four, but when asked if they were all buried in the same hole, his attorney wouldn't answer. why not? >> him giving the confession, he's obviously saving himself in the death penalty, as we heard. from my understanding, some of the things i've read is maybe three of the bodies were in this mass grave and another body was in another location. >> julie: one of your earliest cases, you would never know by looking at you, was the discovery of a mafia burial

ground. this one was where several bodies were found buried, badly decomposed, which draws us some parallels here because the four bodies that were discovered were also badly decomposed as we know the 20-year-old who confessed actually burn the bodies before burying them. how do investigators examine evidence for badly decomposed bodies? >> first of all, going down 12 feet helps preserve whatever the remains were. if the bodies were burned before hand, there would be a burn pit also on the property that the police would be looking for with evidence in the bodies can be equally identified by teeth. teeth do not burn at regular temperatures. they sometimes can be destroyed and cremations which are twice as high as a temperature you can

get in the outside in a burn pi pit. dental's help to identify the bodies, but also, they have to determine the cause of deaths and that's where, just because he says he did it, they need some proof and that will be fighting the bullets involved. whatever entered the bodies and that's why they have to be especially careful in removing everything from 12 feet down and it takes more than one person to bury people 12 feet down from personal experience. the bullets have to be recovered to confirm the confession and they will be easily identified. >> julie: there is a possible co-conspirator. dr. botta just pointed out the union whether one person to actually very bodies this deep down. what say you on exactly how this went down? we know it was drug-related.

>> whether this accomplice was involved in the murders themselves, whether they assisted with the disposal of the bodies, that's what i'm curious about is to know about what the accomplices role in this was, but to put somebody 1s hours just to dig a two or 3-foot hole, so i'm assuming there was some part of large machinery that was involved in this and whether or not he was able to do this by himself, i'm not sure. >> julie: i also want to mention to this point, a person actually spoke with the associated press on the condition and said every death was related to a reported drug transaction at the end of each one, there was a killing. this means that each person was killed one by one. it was over a certain period of time. this guy was once a suspect which is what brought investigators to the family farm in the first place. the question is, did investigators miss something?

could they have perhaps nailed this guy? >> i don't know about that. when he popped up as a suspect, nowadays with a cell phone technology, i know one of the victims cars was found in the families property, he quickly became a person of interest, but it's a matter of finding those critical points of evidence that allow him to then come forward and make an arrest. >> julie: you mentioned some of the bodies being inside a drum and that a co-conspirator had to be involved. not only are you burning these bodies, but now you're loading them into a drum, but does the drone perhaps, and this is a gruesome thing to think of, but that his or her job, protect the bodies from underground decomposition? >> the drums were used in the incident you mentioned 50 years ago when there was eight mafia burial ground in pennsylvania and the bodies were burned and

put in drums. here, it sounds that way were burned in a burn pit and then buried. whether there were two or three or four bodies in that area will be found very quickly by the medical examiner and from identifying how many different skeletal remains there are, if they are skeletal remains in the teeth, that information should be available the next day or two. >> julie: dr. bodden, thank you so much and james larkin for weighing in. >> leland: donald trump, jr., lashing out at the mainstream media for its coverage of his meeting last year with a russian attorney. does he have a point? our media panel weighing in, but first. here's his father. >> my son is a wonderful young man. he took a meeting with a russian lawyer. not a government lawyer. from a practical standpoint,

most people would have taken that meeting.

speak out the president was already upset his travel ban was watered down so he cannot be happy with this ruling, but nowhere yet on whether the administration plans to appeal. the ruling last night from a federal judge in hawaii who said the administration cannot ban immigrants from six terror related countries if they have a close relative here in the u.s. that includes grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins, brothers and sisters in law. he also said the u.s. must allow it refugees from six mostly muslim terror related countries, iran, libya, somalia, sudan, syria, and yemen. the ruling comes from judge derek watson who initially throughout the entire trump travel ban -- the administration could ban immigrants that did not have a bona fide relationship to the u.s. to the white house, that meant

only parents, children, spouses, and fiances of u.s. residents. hawaii appealed. yesterday, watson agreed, calling the administration's interpretation "cherry picking" and the end to intemperate us put us a. of course, watson said they should include grandparents. his ruling was a huge victory for critics and especially for thousands of refugees who were cleared to enter the u.s. but lacked the paperwork. those refugees if they've been invited by u.s. agencies in a most all of them have, they are also exempt from the travel ban. bottom line, this is now the law of the land unless it administration appeals or until the supreme court rules otherwise. they hear the case in october. back to you. >> julie: thank you so much. ♪ >> leland: new revelations just today about donald trump, jr.,'s meeting what the russian lawyer during his father's campaign. but first, the younger trump on

his problems with the coverage of his 20 minute sitdown. >> there trying to drag out the story in all fairness. they want to trip today and tomorrow. i'm more than happy to be transparent and i more than happy to cooperate with everyone. >> as far as you know, this is all of it. >> this is everything. this is everything. >> leland: let's bring in tammy bruce, radio talk show host, ellen ratner, both fox news contributors. ladies, nice to see you. to me, i know you're ready to go, but let me ask this questio question. donald trump, jr., said that's all of it. today we learn that one of the people who was in that meeting that we didn't know about, there was another guy who turned out to be a former soviet intelligence officer, this report from nbc. how could you complain about the drip, drip, drip when you're not fully forthright? >> either we are looking at -- this is once again, unsourced report. this is what we hear.

you can have ten people are reporting the same thing from the same source. i think we have to stop getting into a framework where whatever the legacy media said, if they say, it's true. you can be meeting with individuals and not necessarily know. this is one of the problems with that meeting is not knowing exactly who everyone was in the dynamic. ultimately, i think what's fascinating is the real story is being missed that this russian lawyer was doing a lot of work with democrats, most stomach almost arguably could have been a democratic operative. that's being ignored. she worked with the democratic firm. >> leland: she was a lawyer who is a lobbyist for a number of different things for the russian government and then went to capitol hill and talked about

this adoption law that happened. >> beyond that, she worked with the man who founded fusion gps which is the firm behind the now widely discredited trump-russia dossier. it's not just about issues with lobbying on the hill, its actual work, legal cases, et cetera that attach her exclusively to the democrats. that's the story and it's a matter of whether or not this was a set up. >> leland: allen, as at the real story? >> i don't know whether he's being truthful or not and i don't know whether to set up or not. i do know that the news media is focusing on this and while they're focusing on this, they are not focusing so much, very little on the health care bill and that could be much more damaging to the average american them the story. the news media auto focus on what's going on in congress. >> leland: neither of you are

very happy with the coverage of this. this is what chris stirewalt said earlier on "america's newsroom" ." >> it's an important point for the administration. there is no there, they are in one fell swoop, we have the death of the talking point that number one, and we also have that donald trump, jr., and other people in the orbit of the president, that they go forward and make statements that were untrue and did not correct them. this is badly hurt the credibility of the administration. >> leland: you just a side little bit. >> i like chris, but the fact of the matter is this is a firestorm within the newsroom. it's not a firestorm for the american people. the administration and its legitimacy is not affected here. this has been going on over and over.

the biggest news on earth and that it's really not that big at all. this keeps happening, this is not new at all. every new revelation is supposed to be a big deal and it ends up not being. i think this is a little bit of hysteria gone haywire. >> leland: do agree with that? whether it's worth it or not and terms of the hysteria, it detracts from the coverage of what you talked about. >> it does detract from health care and people are getting hysterical in the news media is getting hysterical and they many do not, they need to focus on things that really affect people's lives here, such as health care. >> that's the point. they don't want to. that's the situation. >> leland: we're going to talk about health care in the next hour of speech anyone >> julie: includes a but i giant storm on jupiter. how cool is this? and what could actually tell them about the changes on the weather right here on earth?

juno was launched six years ago, arrived at just about a year ago in the area and has been orbiting around jupiter and its return to some interesting images. it's about 2,000 miles below the surface and this latest path that it took, are of this giant red spot that kind of catches our fascination. >> leland: >> julie: it's beaut. it's a cloud, which is a storm. it's a huge, huge storm. >> we can see some of these images from the space shuttle, he looked down at the planet, you can see the storms -- right now, we have rain in new york city, but we have a big storm in the middle of the ocean, it's a big cloud pattern. similar to what we see on jupiter, there are white clouds clouds opposed to red.

you can fit one earth inside of that storm. >> julie: much like when we look at the weather and we look at our satellites and we look at satellites to show us with the storms are and satellites will give you different colors to putting on the strength of the storm, so here, you are basically looking at orange. what is happening within the storm and the orange part? >> that's what they're trying to figure out. what is the composition of it? is there wind, what is happenin happening? they think it's getting a little bit smaller over the years. it's been out there for 350 years, so it's been this mysterious thing and now we're getting the images and data from it. >> julie: is a dangerous? >> for us, we don't want to go anywhere near it. we can't live on jupiter. >> julie: these spacecrafts, they aren't risked?

>> it's interesting, the biggest danger for the spacecraft, not necessarily the storm, but the magnetic field, the radiation that surrounding the planet. juno will be orbiting for a while longer, it's going to make another close passed in september, but eventually it will fail. it will stop working primarily because of the radiation in the magnetic field around jupiter. >> julie: thank you so much! you taught me a lot today. >> leland: new information on the fate of little charlie gard. an american doctor is now allowed to examine the terminally ill baby. what that doctor is saying about charlie's chances next. it's like labor day weekend on top of the fourth of july. hotdogs. get your favorites on top of your favorites. only at applebee's.

>> charlie gard's parents when executive victorious today, but they may have gotten a step closer in their quest to bring their way to the united states for that last chance treatment. today, the judge announced that professor michio hirano will come and see the boy on monday and examine him. he has said that he thinks an extreme mental drug that he is working with has a 10% chance of helping little charlie, but he also said that he needed to see him because that is what's going to happen. based on his observations from that face-to-face examination, the professor will then get together with the boys british doctors and they will come to some kind of consensus. keep in mind that up until now, the boys british doctors have said that as far as i can tell, this boy has absolutely no signs of awareness. they believe he has a profound brain damage that is irreversible. they say that he cannot see coming on here, not swallow, not move and not breathe without the

help of a ventilator and they have argued that the best thing for the boy would be in the best interest of the boy, they have argued would be to turn off the ventilator. they're all going to get together after this american professor sees little charlie on monday. they're going to discuss what should happen next, whether he should be transferred to the united states. ultimately, it's the judge gets to make the call. he said he is going to do that on the 25th of july, that's a week from tuesday. they got a step closer to getting that last wish of theirs to bring him to the united states, but this isn't over yet. >> leland: julie, what's coming up? >> julie: knew next on "happening now," former aide to president obama and hillary clinton showing some snark on twitter over the trump administration's repeated stumbles and after six years, a investigation into the murder
