12:01 pm
the senior trump administration official tells fox news that the kurdish militia told them that the withdrawal was complete. vladimir putin striking a deal with turkish president erdogan to share control of northeast syria. the turks and russia also rigged to start joint military control. in the meantime, some u.s. troops in syria have moved them to iraq, but iraqi military officials say that they do not have permission to stay. we saw angry kurds pelting the american convoy with potatoes and rotten fruit as it made its way out of syria. president trump's defense secretary says that some u.s. forces will stay behind in syria to guard oil fields. we have team fox coverage, jennifer griffin life at the pentagon, but steve harrigan reporting from iraq, tell us what is happening on the ground. >> trace, it was right at this hour, 3:00 eastern, 10:00 p.m. local that there were a lot of scared people, people on the
12:02 pm
kurdish side of that board are afraid there could be more air strikes, shelling. a renewed defensive by turkey. turkey's president erdogan had threatened that he would do just that if all kurdish fighters were not out of the buffer zone. it looks like that is not happening right now. and it may not happen at all. there has been a deal reached in sochi, russia, between the russians and turkey. here is president erdogan. >> both countries are going to take any measures necessary to prevent terrorists to enter in this zone. as of today, turkey and russia will continue to contribute efforts to achieve the peaceful solutions for syria. >> on the ground that means that about six days' time, we will see joint patrols on the syrian side of the border, we will see syrian government forces alongside russian government sources, they will be patrolling to make sure that there is no
12:03 pm
kurdish militia within 18 miles of the border. >> trace: how big of a win is this for russia? >> well, we have really seen a big swing in russian influence here. keep in mind, when those u.s. forces pulled out, we saw a russian forces pull in. they have been patrolling with syrian government forces in several key towns. in the negotiations were also key with the president of turkey who went to russia and sochi. it was russia and turkey that made the negotiation. and it will be russian troops who are on the ground and forcing it. even the tone of these meetings, you could really see the contrast. we have seen some bitter back and forth between turkey and the u.s. this was very different. turkey's president making sure to refer to president putin as my dear friend. trace. >> trace: steve, i'm curious, you talk about what is going on on the ground. have you seen anything in your area as far as the tempo and the tone kind of changing because of
12:04 pm
this deal? >> it was really waiting on nervousness and fear, and some of the key towns along the border where people were afraid, we are going to get hit next. some of them fleeing. they have become ghost towns even before they were hit. keep in mind, the defense has sent 176,000 people on the kurdish side on the move. people running from the fighting, and they were afraid that it would happen again at this very moment, trace. >> trace: we reported earlier, steve, some of the u.s. troops that are moving into iraq, that they were not welcome there. is there a plan b and a strategy on what to do if the iraqis press the issue even further? >> i think the iraqi defense ministry was a little bit miffed about not being properly consulted or informed. it might be strong to say that they are not welcome. but certainly the iraqis saying that they cannot stay here indefinitely. u.s. officials saying that they are only here in transit. they are right here in her bill,
12:05 pm
so it is not clear how long they will be here. but what kind of force will they maintain in syria. more discussions about keeping some soldiers there to monitor the islamic states, trace. >> trace: 4 minutes since the ended, life for us in ubl, iraq. and continuing with jennifer griffin reporting live at the pentagon. >> we just heard from jim jeffrey who is that key envoy to syria who negotiated the cease-fire, and negotiating on capitol hill. he said that turkey's invasion into northern syria was not inevitable. as soon a convoy of roughly 100 military vehicles were retreating from syria across the border. the iraqi military said they were not welcome. the u.s. hoped to reposition in a rack in order to monitor isis.
12:06 pm
mark esper was on the defense when asked by reporters why he was traveling in the middle east if u.s. troops would only be deployed to countries who paid the cost of them being there, like saudi arabia, where the president has sent 2,000 troops. we are not a mercenary force, secretary esper said. he also said that to stay in iraq interminably, the aim is to pull the soldiers out and get them back home. he added that some u.s. troops might stay at two bases in syria to watch the oil fields and prevent iran from filling the vacuum left by the u.s. withdrawal. >> we will reposition as they come out of the northeast area of iraq. eventually the destination is home, but we have to pull them out deliberately out of northeast syria and make our preparation to go home from there. i will have that discussion tomorrow with the iraqi defense minister. >> the 120 hour pause in fighting basically gave u.s. forces cover while they withdrew to a rack so that they were not
12:07 pm
pulling out under fire, trace. >> trace: you were illustrating so many moving pieces, jan, what is the united states expected to do right now in syria? >> it's interesting, turkey's president erdogan issued the following morning before traveling to russia where he is meeting vladimir putin. >> today is the last day for all of the terrorists to vacate in the area. as of 10:00 p.m. tonight, the time will expire. our agencies are monitoring the situation in the field closely. if the promises america gave us are not kept, the operation will continue. ean on the kurdish the u.s. is allies, not to attack turkish troops. the university of chicago last night, former chairman of the joint chief of staff retired admiral told me when u.s. forces pulled back from the border earlier this month, it opened the door for turkey to invade. >> everybody we would want to lose in this is going to win.
12:08 pm
putin will win in russia, assad will win in syria. isis is going to win. erdogan is going to win. iran is going to win. and we and our friends are going to lose. erdogan would not send those troops across the border if the americans were going to win. >> now that the americans are in a rack and being told by the iraqi government that they cannot stay there, and you hearr jim jeffrey say that turkey with the invasion of syria was not inevitable. that was moments ago on capitol hill. >> trace: life for us at the pentagon, thank you. a busy hour of news just getting started. now ten reasons to keep it right here. another witness on capitol hill in the impeachment inquiry. he is answering lawmakers questions after the state department tries to stop him. a sick little girl wished to be a princess, but cops say that her mother wished her daughter were just died. now mom is charged with murder. an ambulance sending folks to the hospital, but not like you

democrats will now not even allow republicans to have a copy of the respected transcripts from each of the witnesses we have interviewed thus far. and if, in fact, there is no copy. we cannot make a copy. >> today the number three house republican liz cheney called this impeachment probe "an appalling miscarriage of justice." >> trace: mike emanuel life for us on capitol hill. president trump has called the impeachment inquiry a hoax or a witch hunt. but is getting some on his latest comparison. it included this sentence. all republicans must remember what they are witnessing here. a lynching. a lynching is murder by a mob without a trial, it was a tool in america for whites to replace blacks. dating back to the 1800s and continuing for paul too long. a memorial in montgomery, alabama, remembering a thousand of those who died at the hands of mobs.

no do justice, just an accusation and a sentence carried out by a crowd. a lynching. that world has a great significance too many. and the president says that we are now witnessing one again. let's get to the key white house correspondent john roberts put his choice of words really got some blowback from both sides. >> no question about that. democrats and republicans both responding to the president's tweet this morning. democrats united in their condemnation about what the president said on twitter, the response from the republicans a little bit more nuanced. blistering criticism from democratic congressman bobby rush who supports impeaching the president. he tweeted "you think that this impeachment is a lynching, what the hell is wrong with you? do you know how many people who look like me have been lynched since the inception of this country by people that look like you." senate republican tim scott said he would not abuse the word lynching, when asked if he thought it was a racially
12:20 pm
charged word, he said this. >> yes, actually do disagree, i think the fact of the matter is that you are talking about something that is akin to a death row trial from a political perspective. so we should keep our focus on the fact that this is something that is being done behind closed doors, and it is being done in secret. it is being done in a way that does not give the public any confidence in the process. >> scott senatorial a colleague lindsey graham said absolutely it is a lynching. listen here. >> nobody is saying that the president is going to be physically hurt here. but this is mob rule. that's what lynching is all about. once you grab somebody, you don't hear their side of the story. you just destroy them. it is the kangaroo court. it is a sham. it is not the word, it is the conduct. it is political. it is not personal. >> the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell did not have

when republican senators to protest what the president has done, he sometimes acts. witness to row. i guarantee you, my speeches have very little effect on him. but yours did. well, this is far more important than doral. this is america, and lives at stake are battling against terrorism which we thought valiantly most of the time is being jeopardized. and frankly, when leader mccarthy and representative's beliefs, and representatives cheney can vote for this kind of resolution, why should we not be doing the same? it will send a better message to the president then anything else we can do. my friend, the republican leaders said's that we need a stronger resolution. quibbling over words at a time
12:27 pm
when america is in danger does not make sense to me. particularly a resolution that he knows will not pass the house and go to the president's desk. so i would plead with my colleagues, let's move forward. i plead with my friend from kentucky. they are both my friends from kentucky. but i plead with the junior senator from kentucky to not stand in the way. he has a different worldview than almost all of us. but we talked earlier this morning, i asked him if he was against going after the taliban, and bin laden when they hit us in america. in new york. and he said no. oh, this is the same kind of thing. we are happy to vote on his

reporting himself killing a woman and labeling the memory card homicide has pleaded not guilty to murdering another woman. stephen smith of alaska not only admitted to the killing, but told them where the body was and confirmed the victim's identity. crying family members in court for the hearing. this not guilty plea comes after smith pleaded not guilty to the memory card murder. police say they have photos and video of the killing, but lost the card where you stored everything. the person who found it handed it over. and detectives say that there was enough information to lead him to smith including his voice which has a distinctive english sounding accent. he is now being held on $2 million bon parents in the college admissions scandal, new bribery charges against 11 parents including "full house" actress lori loughlin, and her husband
12:31 pm
mossimo giannulli, all of them fighting the charges, but we will see whether this pressure play changes some minds and whether any try and they may try to cut a deal in order to avoid tougher punishment. they say that lori loughlin and her husband paid half a million dollars to get their two daughters into the university of southern california as a fake crew recruits. the school confirming this week that the kids are no longer enrolled there. so it might now be a bit of a fuller house at the lori loughlin base. and you heard about chuck schumer going after rand paul. let's go to rand paul. >> perhaps just may be less of our presence in syria will actually lead to diplomacy and ultimately peace. only time will tell. i object. >> objection is heard. >> madam president, i don't want to prolong this. i just want to make a two quick points. number one, my friend from kentucky thinks he knows what is
12:32 pm
better for the kurds than the kurds know. they hate going into the arms of syria. they hate it. if our friend from kentucky believes that any time we have a small number of special forces in different places and we have them all over, that we need a declaration of war, than his view is different then 99.9% of america, and from every other single person in this chamber. we do not need a declaration of war for a small number of special forces to be there to protect us against terrorism and my friend from kentucky knows that. i yield. >> senator from kentucky. >> if our goal is to create a kurdish homeland and defend it for them. hell, yes, we need a debate and a vote and an operation of force. you cannot say that we will stay there forever. it would take tens of thousands of troops if you want to pacify syria. it has not been pacified for years. it is an other incomplete mass. it's time we get the hill out.

12:34 pm
world at large saying that to u.s. troops with -- turkey would not be in there when u.s. would be in there. and neither would isis. we will keep you up-to-date on this debate. a mom in colorado claimed her 7-year-old daughter was terminally ill, and the little girl's bucket list went viral. denver police made her cheat for a day. make-a-wish foundation paid for a costume party, but now more than two years after the girl's death, investigators are accusing the mom of murder. the chief correspondent jonathan hunt reporting with more on this. >> trace, kelly renee turner portrayed herself as a concerned mother doing the best for her terminally ill daughter. according to prosecutors, neither of those things were true. olivia gant, the little girl was nocturnanot terminally ill, andy renee turner was a killer, not a caregiver.
12:35 pm
when she was six years old, olivia gant believe that she did not have much time to live, so help by her mother she created a bucket list and her story went viral. leading to thousands of dollars in donation and a day with polia surprise party thrown by the make-a-wish foundation before her death in 2017, age seven. now her mother, 41-year-old kelly renee turner has been charged with first-degree murder, child abuse, fraud and theft. prosecutors say that she invented her daughter's illnesses and then left her to die. they exhumed olivia gant's body last year and found no evidence of any of the illnesses or conditions that turner claimed. by the way, do back in court november 4th. >> trace: two years, why so long to charge her? >> it is a question that has not been fully answered yet.
12:36 pm
turner first described her daughter's nonexistent health issues in a blog in 2011. she was talking about a misshapen head, brain issues, bone infections. seizures, and in 2015, writing on gofundme that olivia had a "degenerative mitochondrial disorder that causes the entire body to shut down one system at a time." but it appears that turner never sought medical care, so doctors did not fully examine olivia before her mother placed her in hospice care, insisting that she received no medical treatment, and that her feeding tube would be withdrawn, and she be allowed to die with a do not resuscitate order. if the investigation in fact only began in 2018 when turner brought her older daughter to see a new doctor claiming that that girl had survived cancer and undergone chemotherapy.
12:37 pm
it seems that it was only then, trace, that suspicions were raised. far too late, obviously for little olivia gant. >> trace: jonathan hunt, live in los angeles. thank you. a family in kentucky's suing juul labs, blaming the the company for their 11-year-olds addiction. a lawyer for the girl's family said that juul marketed to children using social media and flashy ads. and that the company advertised its products as safe. the juul labs released a statement saying it has never targeted young people with labs and is taking steps to fight underage vaping. the company announced that it was pulling all of the desert and fruit flavored products from shelves across the country. the most popular flavors for teenagers. a clinical psychologist and associate professor. and of course, director of behavioral medicine in
12:38 pm
osteopathic medicine. that is a big title. but the question remains, how do we get these kids off of nicotine? we talk about these, and juul says we are not targeting kids, but you see these influencers and cool ads. clearly they are looking for some young influence. >> the fact that they are taking a lot of those products off of the shelves, so perhaps they are thinking that there is something to what is going on. but we do note that this is of epidemic proportions right now. and it is important, you are absolutely right, to get our kids off of the vaping, but off of nicotine, cigarettes anyway. one in four high school seniors is actually using some sort of nicotine. >> trace: when you talk about getting kids off, we talk about the parents of the 11-year-old girl, when you talk about getting kids off of nicotine, is that the patch, is it gum? are there bodies to young? what are we looking for? >> we see that many physicians
12:39 pm
will not prescribe the patches or even some of the antidepressants that are used to get people off of the nicotine and tobacco, of course. under the age of 17. they won't do that, so it really is going to come down to the parents and what they can do as far as using behavioral techniques. cognitive behavioral techniques, good therapy in order to get them to slow down and come off of the vaping. >> trace: you talk about psychological behavior to get them off of nicotine. what about the fact that they are on it. is it anxiety? is a depression? why are the kids getting so heavily involved in juuling and the vaping. >> it is some of the accusations that we heard, that there is a campaign that we see from some company is in order to get kids as young as possible, even if they are not intending to get them to smoke while they are young, but to plant the idea. still later on that they do become smokers. and that is a real big issue.
12:40 pm
but i think that more than anything else, it really is about the responsibility of the company is to make sure that they are not targeting these kids. but again, for the parents to make sure that their kids are not getting on this in the first place. and there are a couple of things that they can do. >> trace: you look back at the cigarette problem, and it took a generation to get these people often tobacco. and this is the way that some of these kids are in trouble right now. >> yes, and they become the future smokers. so we need to make sure that we are supportive to our kids. educate them and let them know how important it is that they not engage in vaping. and third, give them the information that is out there. you don't want to scare them, but you want to let them know what the deleterious effects are not just to their health, but how it can impact them socially and with their peers. >> trace: the explosion of juuling and vaping is
12:41 pm
unbelievable to watch. >> it really is. but i tell you, you are right. now is the time. we have to step in. this is a public health crisis. so we have to start making the changes in getting to the kids right now. >> good to see you. >> great to see you, trace. >> trace: lawmakers in the u.k. just issuing a little bit of a mixed bag to prime minister boris johnson and his brexit deal, they did vote to approve his deal the first time parliament has okayed a brexit plan after three and a half years since thenier's fast-track timetable for reviewing the bill. that makes britain's exit by the october 31st deadline, he promised, pretty much all but impossible. the fox business network is life for us in london. ashley. >> yes, hi, trace. don't forget the boris johnson said i would rather be dead in a ditch then extend the october 31st deadline, that is just nine days left to go.
12:42 pm
a lot of vibrato and promises. but unfortunately tonight in london, he lost a critical vote that meant the passing of his e.u. deal will have to wait. we are waiting for the e.u. to decide how much of an extension. probably until january 31st. so the story goes on parade after the vote, boris johnson told parliament that he will have to consider his options. >> trace: you saw senate minority leader chuck schumer kind of blasting the republicans and the president on the policy, redirect the tape, but met romney was also blasting the administration. the president about syria saying that they are abandoning their commitment to syria. met romney saying that this was a bad move. so you mitch mcconnell fighting with the president. you have chuck schumer saying that the republicans need to get on board and commence a president that this was the wrong move.
