"fox news reporting" to begins right now. we begin this hour with new details and the daring nighttime raid that killed a leader of isis. our kurdish allies telling fox news they are the ones who told the u.s. where al-baghdadi was hiding in syria and that the

operation would not of been possible without their help. here's a look of what's left of al-baghdadi's compound where elite u.s. troops swooped in on helicopters. he blew himself up with three children in a suicide vest. pentagon officials saying they captured two men alive and they could release video of the operation perhaps in the next few days. here, an aerial view of the destroyed company, one of baghdadi's former henchmen told a saudi news network that the terrorist leader was living in a tunnel with lights and a library full of religious books. a map of where al-baghdadi was hiding out. he was apparently living a few miles from the turkish border near a small village in northwestern syria. this now is a satellite view of exactly where al-baghdadi's compound was. we begin this hour with tom fox

coverage. benjamin hall live in syria. national security correspondent jennifer griffin live at the pentagon with more. breaking news yet again. >> we have just gotten some information from the state department. a spokesman for the state department has just confirmed that the spokesman for isis was killed in an operation by u.s. forces immediately following the raid on baghdadi's compound. sources tell me baghdadi's remains have been buried at sea. top pentagon officials would not confirm the details. here's what general mark milley just said. >> baghdadi's remains were disposed of. >> general milley said that two adult males were captured and removed to a secure location. intelligence is still being exploited from the raid which was launched saturday night. at about 5:00 p.m. eastern.

that's when the president and his national security team gathered in the situation room and they were in the white house when those eight military helicopters took off from a base in iraq and flew low and fast for 70 minutes towards the target which was 4 miles from the turkish border in idlib syria, 50 to 70 special operatives stormed the compound, blowing holes in the thick walls because they knew the front door was booby trapped. 11 children came out. baghdadi's two wives were wearing suicide vests when they were killed. baghdadi's lieutenant surrendered. the isis leader grabbed three children to serve as human shields and escaped down the tunnel with the u.s. special operators and at least one military dog in pursuit. >> bill: what more do we know about how baghdadi died based on the hearing today? >> when baghdadi was corn and,

he detonated his suicide vest, killing the three children and injuring the military dogs who we were told will survive. these military dogs routinely wear cameras. the american operators were on the ground for two hours inside the compound, removing banks full of intelligence i can help them disrupt future isis operations. that's what's happening as we speak. some of that is being exploited. u.s. warplanes bombed baghdadi's compounds after the special operators lifted off. >> multiple types of ordnance used. guns, small arms fire, et cetera. a variety of munitions. the bombs were used at the tail and to destroy the compound. >> the operation was named in honor of american aid worker kayla mueller who was held captive by baghdadi and tell her brutal death. pentagon is looking to declassify some of the images

and video from the raid. >> bill: what a story, jennifer griffin, thank you. team fox coverage continues. fox news can confirm that the agent inside the operation who informed u.s. special ops was living inside the compound. benjamin hall continues the coverage, live in northern syria. benjamin, hello. >> good evening from syria. we had a long interview with general mazloum abdi today, commander of the stf. he made it very clear that the raid would not have been possible without the help of the kurds and in particular the stf informant you are referring to. they say they had details of the location on may 15. that's when the sdf passed it to the u.s. and from then they set up a special cell to monitor him. there were three americans in the cell on the coordination continued. the informant inside isis gave details about the tunnel.

about his lifestyle, and also about who was there with him. he was brought out safely by the americans but living there with baghdadi. it's very rare to have any informant like this inside isis. we spoke to general mazloum about the u.s. withdrawal from syria. in no uncertain terms he said it in her the courage greatly. he hoped they would come back. we saw this and how the syrian government forces of taken the front lines earlier on. take a look. we are watching syrian government forces taking up their positions opposite turkey. the kurds say they just can't push back the turkish army. we are seeing is the partnership now in action. >> we can see a turkish tank at the next hamlet. clearly the forces are coming towards us. gun battles as well. it's not going to be safe i think. you can hear. sounds like air strikes. mazloum said he'd been reluctant

to ask the syrian government for help but he had no choice considering the turks were coming down. >> bill: how are the kurds handling the situation on the ground? >> frankly not very well. that's one of the reasons they've reached out to the syrian government. they were so horribly underground on the front lines that they had no other choice. it's something that we saw. we are with the kurds were fighting with whatever they can get their hands on. the turkish army out there, one of the most advanced in nato. these guys are relying on homemade weapons. it's a one-sided fight. turkish cease-fire violations are a daily occurrence, as are casualties. syrian troops are stepping in, adding to the front in place of the stf who announced they were pulling back and leaving the buffer zone. >> general mazloum says as much as success is the baghdadi killing is, it's not going to change things on the ground but

it says cooperation will continue and to expect more isis arrests, kills or captures. >> bill: extraordinary story. thank you, benjamin hall and syria. what does the death of the isis leader mean for the future of the islamic state? we will talk to a retired army lieutenant colonel who fought for years in iraq and how the mission, the brave operation unfolded. you are watching "fox news reporting" on fox news. 50-year. one call to newday usa can save you $2,000 every year. and once you refinance, the savings are automatic. thanks to your va streamline refi benefit, at newday there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. activate your va benefit now. one call can save you $2000 every year. ú7h2s+a÷÷p+8p&< i need all the breaks as athat i can get.or,

her christian faith led her to humanitarian work. she was brutalized by isis leaders and killed in 2015 at the age of 26. this weakens operation was codenamed in kayla's honor. we remember these brave americans and the courageous u.s. service members and dod civilians who give their lives to fight isis. in their memories, we are glad that justice has been done. in their memories, we resolve not to back down but to persist in this fight until we have secured the enduring defeat of this dangerous and determined enemy. on another matter, mr. president, on thursday the chairman of the judiciary committee and i introduced a resolution the resolution states two things. >> bill: mitch mcconnell reacting, fresh reaction on the

raid from syria over the weekend. the leader of isis is dead. reports the group has already got a new chief on board. one of bring in retired army lieutenant colonel daniel davis. it's great to have you on. thank you for your time. reports that the spokesman for isis has also been killed. i know you are up to speed on that breaking news. just a couple things on my mind, just reading different reactions over the weekend. i think the following idea, something that needs to be explored. this part of syria near the turkish border, they have not always been friendly to isis. is there a suggestion that perhaps there were forces that have opposed to one another or perhaps they are getting closer to one another? if that's true, is it another danger for us? what's your view? >> this whole situation, the entire civil war exists in a very chaotic, always shifting landscape. today's enemies are tomorrow's

friends are than the next days enemies again. they are constantly changing allegiances. as it benefits them on the day. it's a normal part of this which really underscores why president obama failed so badly in his attempt to arm so-called modern rebels because today's modern rebels are not moderate the next day. it's really important that we don't get engaged with these groups because they sadly cannot be trusted. >> bill: my suggestion is that there is another marriage or relationship of terror groups coming together. is that true or not? >> these groups actually started together and they had a break later so it's not exactly inconceivable that they could come back together for tactical reasons but so far we don't see any evidence to suggest they are going to reform into a larger coalition of bad guys. they are all bad guys. i don't see that. >> here going in these raids, looking for computers and laptops in paperwork and grabbing whatever you can and getting out. i also heard we are on the hunt

for icloud passwords. have these terror groups become that sophisticated that quickly? >> absolutely. anything that ucs do with our phones and other commuting systems. they have the same things because they csu state. it's something they use and are comfortable with. >> bill: the last point, the number of groups in that part of the world, the syrians, the kurds, russians, americans, maybe the iranians. when the commander-in-chief makes a call to pull 1,000 americans out, the reality on the ground starts shifting and shuffling, there are moments of opportunity to be had there. do you believe this was one of those moments? had this operation already been set in forward motion prior to it? what's your view. >> based on information we know for certain it's been thought of and was processing since at least may of this year.

we know that for sure. with this strongly reinforces is that we don't need those troops and syria to conduct our operations for our benefit. targeted strikes against anyone. those forces can come from anywhere. we can use drones. we can use missiles. we can even bring in troops from outside somewhere else and stage them to conduct on the ground if we need to. >> bill: the shifting battlefield? new have dynamics like that, what's likely to come next. >> no one can say it exactly but it's going to be bad and will continue to be chaotic. there's nothing there for us to win militarily. >> bill: thank you for your time. lieutenant colonel daniel davis, u.s. army retired. thank you for your service. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> bill: back here at home, drama in the nation's capital. a key witness in the impeachment

>> bill: a witness in the impeachment inquiry was a no-show on capitol hill, at least for now. house lawmakers were supposed to question form and a deputy national security advisor charles kupperman who may have been on the july phone call with president trump and the ukrainian president in july. his legal team filing a lawsuit in federal court to see if he has legally whether or not to comply with the subpoena. the white house says he has immunity because he was a close advisor with the president. house intel committee chair

adam schiff calling this another effort by the trump administration to block the impeachment inquiry. >> any effort to prevent the congress and therefore the american people from learning more about the president's misconduct will merely build a public case for obstruction of congress by this president. >> bill: earlier this morning, president trump defending his phone call with the ukrainian president. >> we had a very good conversation with the ukrainian president. the conversation was perfect. they don't ever talk about the conversation. >> house democrats say they are moving ahead with their investigation even without kupperman's testimony. we have team fox coverage. white house correspondent john roberts is on the north lawn today. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel at his post live on capitol hill. mike, let's begin with you. >> the relevant house committee chairs issued a warning shot after the attorney represented charles kupperman writing "should your client defy the

subpoena, his absence will constitute evidence that may be used against him in a contempt proceeding. his lawyer responded "it's not dr. kupperman who contests your client's constitutional claim. it's president trump and every president before him for at least the last half-century." kupperman a no-show, chairman adam schiff offer this conclusion. >> it's also i think very plain additional and powerful evidence of obstruction of congress and its lawful function by the president that yet again and even after a court decision affirming the right of congress to proceed with this impeachment inquiry, the white house has obstructed the work of a coequal branch of government. >> other key democrats insist that they are being fair to president trump. >> we have subpoenaed witnesses who he has told not to come forward. you've asked for documents that he's refused to turn over. i assume in my colleagues assume that if those documents could

exonerate him, if those witnesses could exonerate him, he would send them forward. if he's going to obstruct our efforts, we are going to put it in the bucket of consciousness of guilt. >> lawmakers hoping to hear from other officials from the national security council, state department at the pentagon. >> republicans, how are they responding. >> north carolina republican congressman mark meadows has chairman schiff is not interested in the truth. >> the key is it's not an investigation. it's a few depositions designed to get an outcome that was predetermined. every time we hear from a witness, everything the witness whose talk to the president, each and every time, they've said he's done nothing wrong. >> ohio republican jim jordan says schiff is determined to get president trump. >> president zelensky said there was no pressure. there was no action taken by president zelensky or ukraine to

conditional release of the dollars. there was never been nothing there. but adam schiff, continues to have these secret depositions. >> these are tense times in the halls of congress as we launch a new week. >> bill: thank you, mike emanuel. nice to see you. team fox coverage continues from the white house, chief white house correspondent john roberts. >> good afternoon. president trump continues to announce the house impeachment inquiry is nothing more than a witch hunt, again insisting this morning that there was absolutely he had with ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky. democrats also want to see a transcript of an earlier call between the president and zelensky. this one from april 21, to see if there was any asked by the president for zelensky to open an investigation into the bidens. according to the associated press, zelensky had voiced concern as early as the beginning of may about feeling pressure to open an investigation into the bidens, worried he was going to get

tangled up in american politics. on his way to chicago this morning, the president insisting the democrats' case is falling apart. >> it started with the whistle-blower. now they don't block the whistle-blower. then they had a second whistle-blower. now they don't want the second whistle-blower. but they saw what the whistle-blower wrote and then when i released the conversation which bore no relationship to what they whistle-blower saw, they said their case was out the window. i think it's a disgrace. speak with the president again criticizing adam schiff for making up, as the president put, the transcript of the telephone call was open learn cash in his opening remarks. the president saying for adam schiff to embellish what went on to that point was a criminal act and that he should be criminally liable for it. >> bill: hearing some democrats as well, some unhappy about not being informed about the raid on al-baghdadi. what's the truth behind that?

>> some, including the speaker of the house nancy pelosi was said in the statement "the house must be briefed on this raid which the russians but not top congressional leadership were notified of in advance and on the administration's overall strategy in the region." first of all, the russians were informed because the president did not want the russians who are patrolling the northern part of syria to shoot down our helicopters. on the other point, joint base andrews this morning, the president explained why he did not inform the democrats. listen. >> well, i guess the only thing is they were talking about why didn't i give give the information to adam schiff and his committee? the answer is because i think adam schiff is the biggest leaker in washington. you know that. i know that. we all know that. i watched adam schiff leak. he is a corrupt politician. he's a leaker like no one has ever seen before. >> yesterday schiff outlined the reasons he thinks the so-called gang of eight in congress,

congressional leadership on both sides, and chairs of the house and senate intelligence committees should have been informed. listen. >> had this escalated, had something on wrong, had we gotten into a firefight with the russians, it's to the administration's to say we infos were going in. they were aware of the risks. we at least gave them the chance to provide feedback. that wasn't done here. >> the white house kept congressional notification to a minimum even on the republican side, telling only lindsey graham, who played golf with the president on saturday, and the senate intelligence committee chairman remember in advance of what was going to happen. raymond berg. richard burr. sorry. >> bill: john roberts from northline. california congresswoman katie hill announcing her resignation over a sex scandal. democrat freshman step down

after nude photos of her were published online without her consent. she says she doesn't want anyone else to go through what she has recently experienced. >> i have before, i will stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. there's one thing i know for sure. i will not allow my experience to scare off other young women or girls from running for office. for the sake of all of us, we cannot let that happen. >> bill: yesterday the congresswoman tweeting this to every girl and woman, to everyone who believes in this fight, this is not over." chief correspondent jonathan hunt is live in our west coast newsroom where i'm certain this is getting a lot of headlines today. >> certainly is. congresswoman katie hill was a rising star in the party and there's been -- had been handpicked by speaker nancy pelosi. after the compromising photos of her and text messages to a campaign staffer surface, she

acknowledged what she called errors of judgment and explain why. >> i made this decision so my supporters, my family, my staff and our community will no longer be subjected to the pain inflicted by my abusive husband and the brutality of hateful political operatives. >> hill is going through a bitter divorce from her husband, following allegations she had an affair with an aid in her congressional office. that's permitted on the house rules. she has denied the affair and accused others of a political conspiracy against her. >> this coordinated campaign carried out by the right-wing media and republican opponents enabling and perpetuating my husband's abuse by providing them a platform is disgusting and unforgivable. they will be held accountable. >> bill: in her original assignation statement, hill appeared to acknowledged that there might be more photos or

texts, saying "i know that as long as i'm in congress, will live fearful of what might come next and how much it might hurt." >> bill: thank you, jonathan hunt in los angeles. massive fire straightening one country in the north and the hills of los angeles and the south. now there are new warnings after the governor declared a state of emergency. plus we will speak with a teenager whose mother went missing during the evacuation. only moments ago, she got what's considered some significant news. do not miss it. coming up next. grow food. this one grows fuel. ♪ exxonmobil is growing algae for biofuels. that could one day power planes, propel ships, and fuel trucks... and cut their greenhouse gas emissions in half.

60,000 football fields. the flames had destroyed more than 100 structures including dozens of homes. fire officials say they are threatening tens of thousands of more. the kincaid and the getty fires are the big focus now. the kincaid erected wednesday in the north and sonoma county. that's 60 miles north of san francisco. the getty fire, burning in the hills of l.a. on the south, that's the newest one. it broke out around 130 this morning local time and it spread quickly. forecasters say santa ana winds and dry conditions are exasperating situation and some of those wins hitting more than 60 miles an hour. the video here from the 405 freeway earlier today and the mayor of valley telling people under evacuations, the notice is to get out now. >> leave your home. we've seen fires in tragedies where people have believed they could stay in place, they thought they could fight the fire and be a hero themselves, take out their garden hose. do not do it. the only thing you cannot

replace is you and your family. >> bill: power company pg&e shutdown electricity for more than 2.5 million californians over the weekend to lower the risk of the fires spreading even more. the company's warning that more blackouts are likely over the next few days. we have team fox coverage. dan springer is live and sonoma county near the northern california fire. first, william la jeunesse reports live in los angeles near the getty fire and william, how are conditions now? hello. >> they are improving. i want to say there are big fires and there are dangers fires. they are not always the same. this is the latter. one of the reasons why's you see behind me the steep canyons, the fire moves quickly. narrow roads and dense neighborhoods, difficult to fight. the fire ran through this neighborhood. eight homes lost, five damage. it's also burning or the santa monica mountain preserve, america's largest urban park.

filled with fuel dating back to 1979, the last fire. the worry as it could move from brentwood to the palisades to malibu all the way to ventura. 3300 homes at this point under a mandatory evacuation. 10,000 structures threatened. it's a pretty small fire, 618 acres but fire officials say this was driven by the santa ana winds. >> this one feeds the flames. the flames start ripping through the hillsides, it's pushed by the wind. it's a race against time. getting everyone out of that area, evacuated. getting lines around structures for defense. >> had broke out around 130 in the morning. i met mount st. mary's college. they had a shelter in place because the fire moves so quickly. they are fine but no power. >> bill: i heard you give us a bit of good news at the beginning. what is the status? i want to show you one thing quickly. blue sky 20 minutes ago.

they talk about hot spots and the mop up cruise, they are trying to knock out the embers because of what you see here. dropping fire. we have an onshore breeze, the opposite of a santa an santa an. it's making a difference because they are expecting the santa ana winds to return tuesday, some evacuation orders have been lifted and they've opened parts of the 405 so it looks like they can get a handle on it it's a good news. we will see what tuesday, wednesday, thursday bring. >> bill: thank you, william la jeunesse. team fox coverage continues with the latest on the fires burning in one country. the kincade fire is scorching areas well north of san francisco in sonoma county. dan springer live there with more. how are things where you are? >> bill, as you heard from william, the wind has died down which is great for fighting the

fires but now smoke is an issue. it's not being blown out of he here. it's affecting millions of californians in the bay area who are dealing with unhealthy air. this fire in northern wine country doubled in size yesterday under ferocious howling winds all day. embers were being blown everywhere. they eventually destroyed the historic winery, building that served many different functions since it was built in 1869. the big story here is the unprecedented number of people impacted in some way. 185,000 people were under mandatory evacuations. 2.3 million people had their power cut. schools are closed, as well as hospitals and airports. after two straight years of wildfires that combined killed over 100 people, residents are not staying back to fight with garden hoses. we spoke to a man this morning who discovered part of his home destroyed. >> we learn from the last fire that came through, we have a to go box and it has are important

documents and the sentimental things that we keep near and dear to us. >> some evacuees from areas that did not burn are being allowed back to their homes. >> bill: dan. our crews making progress today where you are, given the fact of the winds are a bit? >> they certainly should. we are hearing helicopters. this is a crucial day in the firefight, as william said, we are between wind events. they are going to be very aggressive not only from the air but also from the ground. we are hearing error tankers -- air tankers making drops as wels helicopters. they hope to make significant progress. the fire is 103 square miles, about the size of reno, nevada. containment is down from 10% yesterday to 5% today. the next strong wind event is forecast for tuesday afternoon into wednesday morning. it's a big day in the firefight

where they hope to make significant progress on the ground. >> bill: a beautiful part of the country, you know it well. thank you, dan springer. i want to bring in a woman who has one heck of a story. lindsay, hello. you are in san francisco. you evacuated. you have not heard from your mother for some time. moments ago, you did. >> yes. my mom, like the rest of my family, were always trying to save everybody else before ourselves so my mom decided to stay back in sonoma county and try to make sure that people were evacuated safely. since the power was cut, the phone lines were down and i wasn't able to hear from her. the last time i did hear from her, she was in one of the areas that had the biggest mandatory evacuation because of the winds. very scary. i actually just heard from her a

few minutes ago. >> bill: that's wonderful. how was she doing? >> it was a text. hearing her voice would've been a lot better but she did say she was safe and just trying to help people out and she told me i have no sense of adventure. still cracking jokes. >> bill: it's good to see you with a smile on your face. how are you doing otherwise, knowing so many family and friends have had their lives turned inside out for the moment? >> it's really nerve-racking. it's scary. but also at the same time because we've gone through this just two years ago, it almost feels like some of us are desensitized to it. so i mean obviously i'm dealing with a lot of anxiety. but you kind of expect it now. >> bill: you have been evacuated twice in two years. it's not quite a habit but it's no way to go through life and i'm certain you agree with that.

>> definitely. >> bill: i've been to this part of california. after the last fire ripped through, it's a scene of devastation in some parts and we hope it stays down. the santa anas kicking up in a significant way but the temperatures are not as hot as they were a year or two ago and perhaps that's a silver lining. i know is you watch the weather forecast, maybe it gives you hope right now. what are you hearing about your home and neighborhood? >> i definitely have a little bit of hope. i checked the weather this morning it was only 39 degrees and about 48% humidity where i live. i'm hoping it helps the firefighters a little bit. a lot a bit. you don't really expect to go home for a while when you're in one of those mandatory evacuation zones. the fact that we have no power just makes it even more so.

i feel that even if they did say we could go back in, we would wait a little while. >> bill: sometimes the imagination can play some bad tricks on the mind. don't let it happen. my best to you. you look good. my best year mother too. send her our best. thank you. nice to see you. lindsay, evacuated now in san francisco. in the moment, one of the parent sentenced in the college admission scam gives the first interview telling "the new york post" he knows what he did was wrong but that it's understandable. that explanation next, as "fox news reporting" continues. one of the products i helped develop was a softer, more secure diaper closure. as a mom, i knew it had to work. there were babies involved... and they weren't saying much. i envisioned what it's like for babies to have diapers around them. that's what we do at 3m, we listen to people, even those who don't have a voice. at the end of the day, we are people helping people.
