this is a fox news alert. a shameup of the egypt's ruling party. some of the most powerful political figures stepping down including the president's son there. i'm jamie colby. this is the second hour and a brand-new one of america's news headquarters. >> rick: still standing on top of egypt is hosni mubarak. not impressing the protestors calling for the overthrow of the regime. tens of thousands holding their ground and egypt answering what

a lot of people are going through a pivotal phase. revolution is not giving up key demands as the government digging its heels and getting ready for the long hall. >> jamie: streaming live from cairo. dominic, tell us who stepped down today? >> reporter: the most important is the son of hosni mubarak who was being groomed to take over from his father and effectively continue the dictatorship here in egypt for which has been going on for 30 years. his capitulation is a major blow to the regime and win for the protestors standing in the center of tahrir square. secretary-general of the ruling party has also resigned. how much is really going to appease those protestors who say they won't go until hosni mubarak goes who knows.

but we are seeing the top leadership chip away. at some point we'll see if mubarak will be one of casualties. >> jamie: we spoke with john bolton and asked him about what the obama's administration is, at times they are saying mubarak they want him to transition out and now a special envoy that visits the region says not so fast. what are you hearing there? >> the message certainly has changed in flavor, perhaps in total to be quite honest. we just saw a special envoy frank lisner -- whirt ner, obama they want a full removal of mubarak. they say it's crucial that they stage the transition. dramatically different what we

were hearing. he says he believes increasingly they will be an orderly transition to democracy. >> i therefore believe that president mubarak's continued leadership is critical, it's his opportunity write his own legacy. >> reporter: now speaking if munich, secretary of state hillary clinton has today said that the transition pro said led by omar suleiman must be supported. officials are quick to say she doesn't mean that there is any u.s. support for the vice president to have a new role in the new government come the elections that are planned for later this year. they are not trying to endorse anybody in particular but by saying the transition process currently underway must be supported they are lending more support for those who are part of the regime now -- sorry, let

me rephrase that. what they are saying, let these people stay in until the transition is over which could take months. that is completely different what they were saying a week ago >> jamie: dominic, monitoring what is happening on the streets and on the media, thank you so much. we'll check back with you for sure. >> rick: fox news uncovers a report on assassination attempt on egypt's brand-new president. wendall goler broke the story for us. >> do you know anything about the assassination attempt on vice president omar suleiman a couple days ago? >> i'm not going to get into that question. >> rick:'s egypt's government is denying the report. molly henneberg has the latest. >> molly: according to u.s. sources meant to take out the second in command in the egyptian government.

omar suleiman as he rode in a motorcade last monday. he survived the gunfire, was not hurt and was able to escape safely. two of his guards were killed in the attack. he had just been named vice president two days earlier may tack factor promptly in post mubarak egypt. clinton was asked about it. she responded with a brief statement. >> that news report certainly brings into sharp relief the challenges that we are facing as we navigate through this period. >> molly: one egyptian security official denied the reports of an assassination attempt to reuters today. u.s. sources tell fox they don't know who was behind the attack and what if anything happened in retaliation to the attackers.

>> rick: molly, thanks. >> jamie: assassination attempt putting the spotlight on the muslim brotherhood. a group lurking in the background. they have been around in egypt for a long time. ties to terrorist organizations across the middle east. joining us now with a closer look of who they are, michael sawyer, former head of the bin laden movement. there is concern about the muslim brotherhood. what do you think the chances they take over in egypt? >> they will take over in some form probably not in the lead as they have said themselves. there is only two organizations that can govern egypt. military and the brotherhood. the brotherhood is extraordinary powerful entity because it delivers social services, it's very popular with the masses. it ciatsd egyptian muslims so it has great experience in dealing

with large numbers of people and programs. their expertise will be needed one way or the other. >> jamie: what are their capabilities and what are their shortfalls where the united states and middle east are concerned? >> a key player is saudi arabia. there has been a lot of scare mongering going on especially about conservatives with iran's role in this which is probably almost nil. but the muslim brotherhood has a close relationship with saudi arabia. when anybody cracks down on the brotherhood, they go to saudi arabia, they are supported. they work at universities there. i'm very sure that saudi arabia would prefer mubarak but the next best choice for them is the brotherhood. so they have an organization. they have a record in the past of having a military wing.

if the choice is between mohamed elbaradei and the type of sloppy democratic organizations, the saudis will support the brotherhood. >> jamie: they have, it's been reported and i would love to know from your experience, said to have ties with hamas, hezbollah. how concerned should israel be, for example, if this transition to the brotherhood takes place? >> i think you are seeing the power of israel and u.s. citizen supporters in the change in tone from the white house. the change from a quick transition to democracy to mr. whisner's mubarak has to stay. israelis are petrified. their security depends on those people remaining in power because they keep the borders closed whether it's jordan or syria or egypt. what you are seeing the

influence right now of the israelis and the united states government as obama's administration changes its tune. >> you have advised administrations, would we be better off, maybe the transition of mubarak out but let's let his son stay? >> no. our governing elite and both parties loves to intervene. now, we have intervened on for 30 years on the side of tyranny. if we intervene on the side of people who oppose tyranny that they are going to forget we have been the supporters of that tyrant. it's kind of pipe dream. america is going to lose whoever stays in power. if mubarak stays, they are never going to trust us again. if he goes, some sort of an islamist government will come in power and they have no use for

us. >> jamie: could this region that is seeing the unrest, be some sort of safe haven or sanctuary for let's say al-qaeda? >> certainly. big winner in all this are the groups that are allied with al-qaeda and al-qaeda itself. they have always defined their many enemies as the tyrannys that government egypt, jordan and saudi arabia. anything that changes them provides a better field of opportunity for al-qaeda's operation and certainly provides a greater opportunity to target israel. >> jamie: michael, thank you very much. >> rick: extreme weather causing safety issues at cowboys' stadium one day before the kickoff of the superbowl. arlington fire department reporting six people were injured when massive sheets of

ice cascaded off the roof of the stadium. they are not use to that stuff down in dallas? >> they got above 32 degrees for the first time since tuesday. the now they are up in the lower 50s. but tomorrow the high is going to be around 40 degrees, some clouds and earlier in the afternoon we're going to be seeing a little bit of freezing rain move through. it looks like there is another storm on wednesday and probably more snow. gives you an idea of how active a pattern we are in. this is the storm that will bring rain and snow down in texas. kind of a nuisance across the plains but a bigger storm is across parts of the east. very heavy rain across parts of florida and carolinas and northern end we have snow. in parts of illinois and out to detroit and eventually tonight it will be very heavy in parts of northern new england and all kind of winter storm warnings. some areas, 6-10 inches of

additional snow. that may not seem like a lot but if you had the four to five feet over the last month or two it's a big problem. other story, the temperatures that really kind of warmed up from the lows we saw a couple days ago. in to monday, much colder air starts to move in by monday. tuesday we'll be watching temperatures below zero in much of the northern plains. very active pattern continues and very winter like temperatures continued for all of us. >> jamie: security preparations are underway for the superbowl. everybody knows it's tomorrow. tens of thousands of fans and players keeping them safe is no small task. hundreds of law enforcement officers on duty, some you see and some you don't. chris is joining us from outside the stadium. first of all, how about the weather? >> i think rick riechmuth just said we're expecting more sleet,

snow and rain and that would be awful. right now the temperature is balmy 57 degrees, the ice and sleet and snow is finally melting away. you saw the video where the ice came sliding off. you can see live that members of the arlington fire department are on to top of stadium. it's 12 story tall structure and working to blow off the ice and sleet and snow. the concern is during the superbowl there will be people milling around the stadium, fortunately yesterday not too many people around there, six people were injured. 57 degrees, we are hoping it stays that way. >> jamie: can we take that shot again, if your camera person. that is one dangerous job there on the roof. these folks are doing it in the spirit of the game. tell bus security with a other measures can we talk about.

>> security is shared responsibility. everybody has a role. department of homeland security secretary janet napolitano if you see something, say something is. they have been working for the past six months with local law enforcement, regional, state and even at the federal level to ensure this superbowl is as safe as possible. we spoke to one expert it may not be the game that people need to worry about. >> i think the biggest iron is not going to be the superbowl, the security here. regardless of what happens, if it happens at forts worth, it's still the super boil. that has been the focus of the preparation is not just the superbowl but areas around here. >> reporter: there are a total of 25 canine units on the site to sniff out potential issues of problems. they have a total of 100

personnel on site at the superbowl, more than any other than in the past. >> jamie: and then all the security measures we don't disclose. thanks very much. >> rick: an investigation in a passenger plane and two jets. the close call happened 80 miles southeast of new york city. it involved a boeing 777 and two air force c-17's. they say the american airlines flight had just taken off from john f. kennedy airport bound for brazil, the military jets were on their way to a base in new jersey. we will bring you any updates on that investigation. >> jamie: tomorrow would have been president ronald reagan's 100th birthday. john hinkley tried to assassinate him. listen to his own words the day high was shot and the attempt on

his life and how it changed his presidency. >> there are moments you ner erase from your memory ever. >> i didn't know i was shot. i thought the noise was fire crackers. >> it was almost unthinkable. in office less than three months president reagan was wounded by a would be asas zblin the next thing, jerry of the secret service had grabbed me here and threw me into the car and then he dived in on top of me. it was only then i felt the paralyzing pain, i learned the bullet that hit me up here, when i walked in they were just concluding a meeting in the hospital of all the doctors associated with the hospital. when i saw all those doctors, i said i hope they are all republicans. >> we don't realize how close he was to dying on the gurney. there were people that thought

he wasn't going to make it. i looked at the ceiling and realized he was going to come back and dedicate the moment to god. >> rick: a lot of people talking about the former president as we approach his birthday. nancy reagan is going to be taking part in ceremonies out in the ranch place ago wreath there. a lot of memories over the last 30 years. >> jamie: we're talking about it a lot day and we will tomorrow, as well. we have james baker tomorrow morning. tonight former vice president dick chainly will be speaking at the reagan ranch, one of many that honors his legacy. we will carry his speech live during the fox report which is on a special time tonight, 7:00 but also at 10:00. >> two different presidents facing similar challenges, what a brand-new poll is revealing about president obama's second

year in office, that he may have wanted to speak to reagan about. we'll talk about that when we come right back. ♪ ♪ work, work all week long ♪ punching that clock from dusk till dawn ♪ ♪ countin' the days till friday night ♪ ♪ that's when all the conditions are right for a good time ♪ [ male announcer ] advanced technology thatel provide cleaner air, cleer water, and helps make all of us more energy efficient is something the whole world can get in step with.

a quick look at our headlines, secretary of state hillary clinton is in germany to ratify a new treaty with russia. she called the treaty a milestone and more wicked weather blowing through the east coast. snow, slees sleet, rain falling from the ohio valley throughout the northeast. prosecutors announcing to try the suspect in custody for shooting 19 people in tucson last month. they said that jared loughner will first face charges for the attempted assassination of congresswoman gabrielle giffords. >> a new gallon up poll on president obama's approval rating the gap between the average approval rating between democrats versus those who identify themselves as republicans. the gap is growing to 68%.

the president isn't 9 only president. former president ronald reagan saw his approval gap awaitingen between members of the parties. it's easy to forget what a tough time president reagan had at the same point in his presidency about two years into his first term. unemployment was high and the economy was not doing so well. we all know that president reagan was able to go on and win a second term. is there sort of a silver lining for president obama? >> absolutely. i mean president reagan lost 26 house seats in 1982. president obama got shellacked in november. he has changed how he has governed. we saw that with the tax deal in the lame duck session. these numbers have to improve for president obama over the next 18 months if he is going to win a second term. he lost the independent vote last year. those are independents who believe they would change the

tone in washington. he hasn't done that. president bush promised that and he fell short. these are troubling numbers for the president but we have seen a shift in how he has government. the healthcare last year was very polarizing. >> rick: i wanted to ask you about independents because this poll that we mentioned takes a look at people who identify themselves as democrats and people who identify themselves as republicans, but it's going to be the independents, will it not, who are going to make the decision as to who are next president is when we go to the polls in 2012? >> definitely. you need to fire up your base and certainly the republican base was fired up in november last november for the first time in years. you need the independent vote. that is what -- if you look at the polls from last year, they showed the independents were not pleased with how president obama led the country, moved in knong a partisan way and let democrats

write a lot of the bills. i think bill daley taking over as chief of staff. we have seen a significant shift. white house knows if they are going to win they have to govern a lot differently. i think that the discussion is going to move to other issues, like education and energy. sure they are going to fight over healthcare but president obama wants to get stuff done. we'll see how it shapes out. debt limit but they are going to strike a lot of deals this year. >> rick: a lot of talk about president reagan. there are celebrations of the former president taking place around the country. sarah palin speaking at one of them recently talking about the former president and the current one. let's take a listen. >> president reagan were alive to see what is happening,

central theme would be echo with the outrage. that outrage, that moment of outrage with the passage of obamacare. >> rick: do you see president obama taking any cues from president reagan. we know over his recent vacation he read a book about the former president. what other lessons or what lessons out there do you think president obama might want to pay attention to? >> i agree. he has read that book. throughout the 2008 campaign he referenced reagan from time to time and put took criticism when he was battling hillary clinton in the primary. he clearly eye admires reagan. he was able to work with democrats that voted for a tax bill that tip o'neill did not want to prove it. president reagan, have a

personal discussion and convinced a lot of them to vote yes. that is what president obama has not been able to do. he hasn't had a relationship with mitch mcconnell and i think that could change in 2011. >> rick: we'll keep a close eye on it. bob cusack, good to talk to you. >> jamie: protests around the world is calling for the president of egypt to step down now, but who would lead this country next?make you f good? oh, yeah. good? v8 juice gives you 3 of your 5 daily servings of vegetables. v8. what's your number? and get a cold... ...you need a cold medicine with a heart. only coricidin hbp has a heart, right here. it's the only cold and flu brand that won't raise your blood pressure. coricidin hbp. powerful cold medicine with a heart.

>> rick: welcome back. egypt's state television saying a pipeline explosion was an attack. this blast at a gas depot in the northern sinai peninsula triggering a huge fireball. the pipeline supplying gas to israel and jordan. >> and there was an assassination on egypt's newly appointed vice president killing two guards. >> and serbian capital seeing a biggest protest in years. thousands of serbs demanding early elections. >> jamie: you've seen the protests in the egypt are spreading beyond the nation's border and middle east. they are erupting across the globe including here in the united states.

this is the scene outside of united nations. julie banderas is standing there live. what you are seeing today. >> julie: that is right. jamie. second weekend in a row, 60,000 egyptian-americans that live in the area have been called to duty. their duty to protest over this weekend and rain or shine they made it out here today although the group had lessened because of the inclement weather. if you take a look at the video of the message still stands, mubarak must go. today's demonstration outside the united nations bringing out those that say the rallies will go on as long as necessary to get him to step down. there has been speculation whether the protests would settle down after mubarak announced he won't seek reelection in the fall, but that is not soon enough for activists who are demanding for a change now. >> get the hell out.

nobody wants you and now, it's seven months or what? >> julie: president obama is hoping diplomacy will push him out sooner but the protests continue nationwide. about thousand marched on friday to the egyptian mission on the upper east side and more protests outside the white house for a second day in a row. rhode island, louisiana and west virginia as the cry for solidarity for the people in egypt continues to be heard around the globe from lebanon, turkey, beirut, to south africa and latin america. despite the over hundred people killed and hundreds injured of 12 days of protests, peaceful activists say despite the bloodshed they will not rest until democracy is heard in egypt. >> jamie: they are defying the curfew in egypt.

thank you very much. >> rick: russia, an american mother of adopted russian twins is charged with child abuse. the mom forcing one of the children to drink hot sauce and take ice cold showers. russian officials say they may try to get the child back. russia is considering a moratorium on all foreign adoptions that could stop hundreds of american families from being able to adopt children from russia. let's bring in a former prosecute, david as a defense attorney, you want to defend what this woman did? >> i have to tell you something. if the question is whether she caused unjustifiable pain to the child or mental surgery i think they're going to have good case for the prosecutor. there is a videotape showing not

only the mother dumping hot sauce in the child's mouth. but child protective services, this causes a substantial risk of harm the children could be removed and potentially adopted. that one child could be returned to russia. now, the russians should remember that a thousand kids were adopted by american families. so they better go easy on this. americans provided very good homes to these kids. maybe they have to vet the process psychological evaluation. what this woman did with the hot sauce and cold showers were truly disturbed. >> rick: was it child abuse? >> i don't think so. the next thing we're going to have is parents being prosecuted for making kids eat their breakfast. we don't know what the child is doing leading up to the video.

under alaska law she is going to have affirmative tests of reasonable discipline in this matter. in this case, the prosecutor, if he successful here is going to have his hands full ten years from now when is prosecuting that very kid that wasn't able to learn right from wrong. >> rick: you are seeing the videotape and we can see dr. phil. she was a guest, mom was on the dr. phil show. she had as you mentioned, her daughter videotape this as part of a clip that was aired on the program which kind of leads me to think, she didn't think there was anything wrong witness. she let her daughter video, here is me giving my kid hot sauce. >> dealing with these kinds of families and problems, generally my experience when you see something like this, there is a lot more abuse going on that you don't see that is latent that hasn't been discovered yet.

i have to tell you something, the manifestations of the abuse doesn't surface for years later. you have to see the video. it's on youtube and it's really disturbing to watch a seven-year-old boy, having the sauce and taking a cold shower all for lying. kids lie and if you punish them with this type of abuse and cause this mental suffering, it's not just a crime but grounds to have the child removed from the home. i don't blame the russian officials for being extremely disturbed. >> rick: those kids are still in the home. they have six children, not just this young boy and his twin brothers but four other children, as well. all of them in the house with this woman and her husband who is a police officer. clearly child protective services investigated the home and a russian official went up

and looked into the welfare and they deemed everything was okay. this is a case where this woman was clearly at the end of the rope. every parent has been there. >> listen, i think a lot of parents out there and listen to that. >> we've all been at the end of our ropes with our children but very few of us have poured hot sauce down their throats, rachel. >> but the issue we're dealing with a parent needing to give a child discipline. >> time out, how about a time out? >> hot sauce is, i don't care which child -- the hot sauce is nowhere on the list. i can't believe the kids are still with that family. we'll follow the story and see what happens. >> some of the hot sauces can

get up to stuff that can cause excruciating pain. this needs to be dealt with child protective services. >> i would have loved here when you were wearing your prosecutor's hat. david, good to see you, both of you. >> jamie: god knew jobs numbers and some economists are scratching their heads over them. unemployment plunge go to the lowest rate but employers not adding many new worker is to the payroll. why the disconnect, what does it mean for americans still out of work? we'll ask a financial expert, news you need to hear next. ♪ [ woman ] when i grow up, i want to take him on his first flight. i want to run a marathon. i'm going to work with kids. i'm going to own my own restaurant. when i grow up, i'm going to start a band.

>> jamie: brand-new economic numbers, a future for u.s. workers. employers added 36,000 people to the payrolls but that is only a quarter of what analysts had expected. unemployment rate did drop down to 9%, lowest rate since 2009. exactly how did we lower the unemployment while creating so few new jobs? dave nelson is chief strategist for bell way management. what is going on here. when will the folks be able to get back to work? >> confusing isn't it? when you look at these numbers.

you have one government agency saying crawl back into the bunker and others saying happy days are here again. when you dig down in the numbers employment picture is getting better. what is confusing here and realize these reports are divergent we need to focus on the unemployment numbers. >> jamie: i read some department of labor numbers that said 14 million people are out of work. so 36,000 to me doesn't sound substantial and even moving in the right direction, is it happening or not what will happen? >> the payroll numbers are a distortion. bad weather was clearly the culprit here. you have to remember somebody didn't receive a paycheck during the survey, which is second week, that doesn't mean they are unemployed. that person is going back the next week. you will see a revigils to the numbers in the following two months. >> jamie: i'll be happy when the

weather gets better too but they have to atheir mortgages and feed families. some are on assistance. some have given up completely. is that the direction that will continue to move in. how do these numbers recover? >> some of these numbers are actually quite good. the manufacturing numbers up 49,000, that is the best rate of change since 1998. i don't want to be a pollyanna. i realize that all the numbers are good. what we are living with a two tiered economy. on the one side, exports that are doing well. but the drag on the economy is housing is still awful, hasn't recovered. the decline in state and local governments are still laying people off. it's difficult but things are slowly improving. >> jamie: dave, we've talked domestic. in terms of consumer confidence and the confidence of the world in investing here and not investing there. the situation in the mideast.

the market said, no and then it came back. it doesn't seem to be impacted as much. would you put your money in the market right now. average investor right now? >> i have my money in the market right now. even when the numbers came out yesterday on friday, the market couldn't digest but by the end of the day we ended up with a modest gain. we live with political turmoil. that is clearly something we're going to live with something the rest of our lives. all eyes are focused on the middle east. what might happen tomorrow and egypt and when their markets open again. these are things we laif with each and every day, but the economy is improving and that is what will drive the story for years to come. >> jamie: we hope it won't take years. always appreciate your time. >> rick: unrest spreading across the middle east as more people

try to dissuade the dissent. a look what might happen if governments in the region begin to topple. >> the future of egypt will be determined by its people. it's also clear there needs to be a transition process that begins now. it must initiate a process that respects the universal rights of the egyptian people and leads to free and fair elections.

>> they are being battered by a perfect storm of trends. they are demanding that their governments become more effective and more responsive and open. >> rick: others that closely follow the middle east says it should come no surprise. the powder keg is waiting to blow up. the author of "the coming revolution," and also an analyst. good to talk to you. you heard the secretary, what are those trends, that perfect storm that she is talking about? >> the perfect storm according to experts here is because of lack of jobs and economic situation and corruption, but there is something more to it. what we have seen in egypt up rising is for freedom. people want the ability to choose political parties and organizations can struggle so the economic situation would be

better. the other leaders that are watching this in the middle east think by enhancing the economic situation, getting jobs and basically there won't be a revolution. i think it's a mistake. it's more about political freedom. >> rick: the coming revolution, tunisia and germany and syria, jordan, yemen, sort of lay out the map for us and tell us what other countries in this part of the world we could be talking about revolutions in the next coming weeks and months ahead? >> it could be very ironic for many among to us realize that this trend became reality after 9/11 when you had democratic elections in afghanistan and iraq and political debates. those why debates were seen by others. then the revolution in lebanon, 2009 the green revolution in iran. it was the tunisia, successful

revolution in the arab world that inspired the egyptians. to answer your question, we can see things in syria, jordan, in yemen in algeria and probably beyond that as well. >> rick: what do the countries look like post revolution. who is going to be charge in egypt? is there going to be some radical islamic element to that leadership? once these governments fall, if they fall, what is the best case scenario for us here in america? >> first of all, it all depends, whether the regimes would be changed who would be actually ready in those societies. that is one of the major concerns in the west and across the world. on the one hand, civil societies as we saw in egypt and tunisia and elsewhere but there is a competition with the muslim brotherhood, with forces that are basically backed by iran and others who want to take advantage of the uprising and

then the government is changed they will move in and do further penetration and try to seize power and then to hijack the revolution. that is the major challenge the democracy forces have in the middle east. >> rick: one question, democracy freedom as we know it here in the united states, is it even come program to the kind of democracy or freedoms that people in the middle east that arab countries could possibly enjoy one day or are they two different things? >> i think they are not embedded one group or one nationality. we are seeing democratic revolutions moving from europe to other places even like japan. what is important is not democracy in the arab world, it's the democratic forces in the arab world. if we can connect with them and encourage them, support them as we did with poland and even in south africa.

that is the real challenge, lidge go up with the democracy forces in the middle east. >> rick: "the coming revolution," i recommend everybody check it out because it lays out what might be coming in the weeks and months ahead the is good to talk to you. thanks so much for your time. >> jamie: so true. we are closely following all the developments in egypt we take you live to cairo three minutes away. >> rick: that is going to do it for us. gregg jarrett and heather childress is standing by. >> jamie: have a great day everyone. witthe venture card from capital one,

>> fox news alert out of egypt. major shake-up inside the ruling party. several members stepping down. including egyptian president hosni mubarak's own son. anti-government demonstrators standing firm, saying that's not enough. they want mubarak out now. the country's new prime minister claims stability is returning to the streets, after 12 days of historic protests. mike tobin is steaming live from cairo. >> reporter: this move is dramatic. six members of the steering committee of the national democratic party compelled to step down. while president mubarak continues to cling to the with you we are the extent that he can. this move attempted to satisfy the demonstrators who have packed the square behind me. also the square up as far

north as alexandria. this move is more meaty than the previous move that mubarak made when he fired member of his cabinet. we are talking about the old guard, the puppet masters, who are unpopular very well known in egyptian politics. the the most well-known is gamal mubarak the son of hosni mubarak. long considered the air apparent to the presidency. the -- the heur apparent to the presidency. the most popular name is was large any margin ized because he was so critical of the old guard. he now moves to a leadership position. the people demonstrating in the square, unsatisfied by this latest move. they see it as political gamesmanship. they see it as the old guard retreating inch by inch and think of it as motivation to continue demonstrations.

to continue ratcheting up the pressure until they get thegñj goal they are after, that is hosni mubarak leaving the palace. it is getting more difficult to do that with day. a lot of people have not received their salaries. a lot of basic necessities of life are more expensive and hard to get. people in the squares are existing by donated food. >> we've been watching your coverage, it has been great. what is the scene like now? have things settled down at all? >> reporter: thank you. it has settled down. once the curfew goes into effect the only people you see are the demonstrators themselves in the squares and people with the neighborhood watches. we did see a lot of shops trying to open up again. we saw life trying to get back to normal. it is going to be a little while until it gets back to normal until they recover from the millions and millions they've lost through this process. >> thank you mike.

stay safe, we appreciate it. >> there was a huge blast rocking an egyptian pipeline that supplies gas to israel and jordan. state television reporting that explosion was the work of terrorists. all of this, adding to the turmoil engulfing the country. greg burke life with -- live with more. >> reporter: it is one thing to watch from 10,000 miles away another thing to watch it from -- >> we seem to have lost our live shot from jerusalem. we'll try to get back to greg in a moment. there's serious question as to who may have been behind this gas explosion. some believe this is the work of pro-obama -- pro-mubarak forks. we'll try to get greg burke back. >> the obama administration throwing its weight behind calls for gradual transition of power in egypt.

the key test for president obama. the outcome in the country could be a defining moment for his presidency. however, the chips may fall. >> the president: we want to see this moment turn into a moment of opportunity. >> the entire world is watching. what we hope for and what we will work for is a future where all of egyptian society seizes that opportunity. >> let's bring in senior vice president of fox global and campaign manager and aid to gop house leadership and adam goldberg. thank you both for joining us. let's begin with trey. overall react from the gop subdued. boehner, mcconnell, the country's two top elected republicans defered to the democratic president. is this united front intentional? >> politics tends to stop at the water's edge when

international stakes are this high. no republican wants to see the president fail in egypt. the republicans will continue to put patriotism over politics when it comes to these matters. will support their president so the egyptians and others in the middle east know that the u.s. is speaking with one voice. >> adam, patriotism over politics, will potential presidential hopefuls, they are speaking out. newt gingrich saying it is frightening to watch this administration and its response. what are your thoughts? >> i think trey had it mostly right. i think politics stops at the water's edge for elected officials who have responsibility for governing. newt gingrich has demonstrated he's going to put politics and politicking above that. there's a divide. many candidates have not weighed in where newt has. i think he should let things

resolve and support this president as he goes forward. >> one of those top republicans, senator mccain the top republican on the senate armed services committee went further than the administration and pointedly calling for mubarak to transfer power to a caretaker government immediately. would that had been a wise move for the administration, in your opinion? >> while recent developments certainly represent progress. my hope is this president recognizes that true democracy and peace have a very long way to go in egypt. the -- my concerns to this point are that the administration and its intelligence communities have not prepositioned themselves on the ground in egypt and don't have the necessary credible relationships with the different reform groups. >> i'll continue with you on that point. that was another question i had. we have no idea what the

resolution will be, at this point. how do you prepare for that? >> well, again, i think that it is all about engagement. the president and his folks have to be on the ground over there. they have to be getting better intelligence. they have to be getting better information and having better communication with the relevant parties. the decision-makers, the leaders from the different reform groups. i think it requires a little bit more intense and stronger engagement by the administration. >> adam, how feel the administration should handle it from this point forward? >> i think they are doing what they need to do. i think they are handling it appropriately. you can't call out for mubarak to immediately resign off the bat. we have a lot of allies in similar position to mubarak and they are looking closely at the situation. we are walking a tightrope. we want to facilitate

trance a democratic egypt as quickly as possible. the president, administration and secretary clinton is doing day good job. >> fluid situation, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> there was a huge lotion in a pipeline that provides gas to -- huge explosion in a pipeline that provides gas to israel and jordan. there you see it. back to greg burke he joins us from jerusalem. what can you tell us about it? who was behind it? >> reporter: gregg, that's when they are trying to figure out. a split decision here. different reports out of egypt it was a natural leak. the other, it was sabotage. if it is sabotage it is an example of the kind of problems israel could be facing with a new egypt. still unclear at this point. they will be looking for that. huge flames as the explosion hit, israel gets 40% of its natural gas supplies from

egypt. although that part of the pipeline going into israel was not damaged they did shut it off from the israeli side as a precaution. shows what kind of problems could be coming israel's way if it was terror. meanwhile, a few hundred demonstrators hit the streets in the west bank to show solidarity with egyptian protesters. palestinian group relatively small, perhaps because the palestinian authority has traditionally been chose to egyptian president hosni mubarak who they saw as an ally for helping them peace talks with israel. the palestinians saying they know what the egyptians are suffering. that they had something similar with the israeli occupies. finally, here in israel, the pipeline problem may be a in the road. israel faces bigger problems about who will be coming to power, 80 million next to them. bad news coming out, gaza reports here in israel saying within of the hamas commanders

is backing out -- one of the hamas commanders is backing after getting out of a jail there. >> brutal cold in the midwest in northern plain states. snowplow versus an a.m. practice train in deer born, michigan. -- an amtrak train in dearborn, michigan. forecast from our chief meteorologist standing by with the latest this winter weather. >> everybody is sick of winter. it is early february we have a lot of time to go. last year february was that big snowy month we had across much of the northeast. we've already had the snowy season looks like we are going to have more. we have advisories across interior sections of the northeast tonight. pinks winter storm warnings

for tonight probably 6 to 10 inches of snow. maybe freezing rain as you head in across interior sections this is the storm causing it. heavy rain across florida and georgia today. northern branch is where we are seeing stkpwhoeg to build across upstate new york and new england tapering off in places like detroit. out across the northern plains this is the other storm we start to watch not a major storm but a nuisance for places like texas that are going to get more snow. we have advisories posted just not west of amarillo and parts of eastern new mexico overnight and into tomorrow morning, we'll see snow here again. behind this storm very cold air moving in again. more snow wednesday. looks like potentially a bigger storm that could have a lot of affects. through the next five days these are the areas that will see more snow, oklahoma city, tulsa, north eastern corridor we saw up to feet last week

now we see more in places they don't typically see this much snow. if there's any blight side across the northeast the cities are going to remain dry with their next storm the next four, five days maybe the rainy/snowy mix but not as much accumulation. >> always nice to look at the bright side. >> we try. >> thank you. >> former president george w. bush no longer heading to switzerland, trip cancelled following security concerns. according to reports left wing groups are calling for mass protests. activists are calling for president bush to be brought to trial over the alleged terrorism and torture suspects. president bush was supposed to speak at a dinner next week. >> the new nuclear warm arms start treaty between the united states and russia going into effect today. secretary of state clinton staging ratification papers with her russian counterpart in germany. meeting on the sidelines of an international security

-- fundamentally disagreed with his policies but they couldn't with him. he was too likeable. >> reporter: and a photo-op for the press can be a television image mild field. desmond tutu came to call. >> the president is fidgeting uncomfortably. the meeting is not very good. it doesn't last long. the next day the press can't wait to get to him. they come rushing in. mr. president what about your meeting with bishop tutu? president reagan looked and said tutu? so-so. >> that one never gets old. you got to laugh at that. tonight dick cheney will honor president reagan at the reagan ranch center. watch it right here during a special 10 p.m. report. the speech begins at 10:30 p.m. eastern.

>> president obama and canada's prime minister working together to strengthen border security. this as a new government report exposes security weak points along america's northern border. peter doocy has more from washington. >> reporter: terrorists are more likely to enter america through canada than mexico. according to homeland security officials in a new report. the u.s. shares a 4,000 mile board we are our northern neighbor. this report concludes border patrol only knew about 25% of all illegal border crossings up there. and they were only able to make immediate arrests on 1%. this map shows the four sectors of the northern border patrol and breaks down the threats. out west known terrorist organizations in the blaine sector. air incur s by criminals and smugglers in spokane sector. detroit sector on recreational vehicles.

measure. but he thinks we match up better with them than any country on earth. >> thanks peter doocy in washington. >> top leaders of egypt's ruling party, stepping down today. what does this mean? is it a matter of time before president hosni mubarak ends his decade's long rule? >> next, unless from an expert in that region of the world, including what this might mean for the united states. ♪ ♪ today was the day ♪ that i put everything in perspective ♪ ♪ i fell asleep ♪ when i woke up, everything changed ♪ ♪ and the sky was turned off ♪ that was before ♪ that was before ♪ you came along and you played me a song ♪

a quick look at the headlines: fbi and security service investigators trying to figure out who has been hacking into a nasdaq network for the past year? possible motives include financial gain and national security. >> state tv reporting prime minister al-maliki will not run for a third term. his successor would be the first to lead iraq without u.s. military help since the fall of saddam hussein. >> trial of three american

hikers accused of spying by iran is expected to get underway this weekend. sara shourd was released and returned to the u.s. last year. the other two remain in iranian custody. >> developments in egypt changing by the hour. top leadership resign -- ruling party resigning. including seemingly heir apparent to hosni mubarak, his own son gamal. national security expert at the massachusetts institute of technology security studies program. jim, good to see you. these are two leading figures in the ruling party not just gamal the son we are talking the party's secretary general. what does that tell us about where egypt is heading now? >> it means events are moving fast. this is a big step but i don't think it is going to be enough for the protesters in tahrir

square. prior to this, mubarak's son gal mall was considered one of the two most likely to be president the other the man appointed to be environmental mr. suleiman. once this went down i think everyone thought go mall's political future was over. the fact that the government has -- thought gamal's political future was over. >> president obama was saying on television that mubarak needed to go and go right away. suddenly today, his envoy there is saying that mubarak needs to stay to assist in a transition that could take months. are you getting whiplash over what our government is trying do here? >> i know frank, the special envoy. could you hardly ask for a better guy at this time. he knows mubarak. he knows egypt. he's a smart guy and focused

rational guy. he's probably talking to the president and getting a strong sense, that mubarak is going to fight tooth and nail to stay in power. in guy is a survivor. he didn't stay in power for 30 years by being a softy. >> did obama change his mind all of a sudden? >> this is my own speculation. mubarak announced he was going to step down in september in the future. thinking that would buy him time. that it was a tactical decision. once he said that, opened that possibility of course he's on shakier ground because people will say why wait until september? why not now? you are seeing the government engaged in acts that are meant to buy time and divide the opposition. the opposition trying to hold strong. the u.s. in the middle trying to talk to the military saying we got to get this process moving and moving now. >> for two long years president obama has tried to reverse his predecessor's

policy on egypt and spent time praising mubarak. if it is true he told mubarak to get out of town is that an implicit admission that his previous two year long policy was wrong? >> i would say this. we should be careful about what the u.s. says privately to leaders and what they say in public. we've seen that in the results of the wikileaks documents. the u.s. has praised an ally -- let's face it egypt has been a strong ally. peace an gramm with israel, tried to help with the arab palestinian negotiations. on lots of issues not democracy, egypt has been a good friend. normally you don't call out your friends in public. you tell them in private what your concerns are and i think that's what has been happening. >> diplomacy is often duplicitous, as you know. the obama administration is welcoming the involvement of

the muslim brotherhood as long as it renounces violence. as kirsten powers pointed out renouncing violence doesn't render a group harmless. if this group takes control their form of government could be oppressive, discriminatoryer to, tyrannical, establishing law based on the qur'an, would you agree? >> i agree it is the possibility but not the most likely outcome. the muslim brotherhood has a different character, in different countries. egypt's muslim brotherhood is not the same as saudi arabia's muslim brotherhood. or the muslim brotherhood in other countries like tunisia. it is going to be driven by local concerns. my concern is this, if we have progress, we have movement, we have compromise, and there's -- and we get elections sooner rather than later that are free and fair. i think things are going to work out whether the muslim brotherhood is included or not. if the government fights tooth and nail, this becomes more

difficult, more violent and more extreme that's when extremists have the advantage. that's the scenario in which you have rather than moderate democratic popular leadership, where you get a more extreme leadership, regardless of its affiliation. we want this to work out quickly. the longer it goes on and the more violent that's when extremists will have the upper hand. >> we want it to work out for the people of egypt. jim walsh, thank you. >> chinese company that made this stealth bomber, reportedly want to make helicopters for our president, seriously. good or bad idea? we'll talk about it.

if it can do this, here. and it can do this, here. and it can also do this, here. just imagine what it can do, here. which beneful prepared meals. tonight? roasted chicken recipe? okay, savory rice and lamb stew.

scheduled to make final trip in space in april. >> this falling ice seriously injuring six people in texas. the ice falling from the roof of cowboy stadium. none of the injuries life-threatening. >> fox news confirming reports of an assassination attempt on egypt's new vice president. an ambush targeting suleiman's motorcade killing two of his guards. >> reporter: we've been getting details over the past day. this happened last monday, according to u.s. sources. he shun vice president suleiman was in a mother -- egyptian vice president suleiman was in a motorcade and the motorcade was atack. this happened two days after suleiman was named vice president. he may factor prominently into mubarak's post government. someone or some group tried to kill him earlier this week.

a egyptian security source denied this. secretary clinton was asked about the assassination attempt today and said, that news report certainly brings into sharp -- the challenges we are facing. here's what the white house had to say yesterday when wendell golar asked about it. >> do you know anything about an assassination attempt on vice president suleiman a couple of days ago? >> i'm not going to get into that question. >> reporter: u.s. sources tell fox they don't know is behind the attack and what if anything happened in retaliation to the attackers. >> sounds like an admission by omission. thanks very much molly henneberg, thanks. >> anti-government protests also in serbia. former allies of the late dictator slobodan milosevic calling for early elects.

protesters upset with rising poverty and unemployment, 10,000 police officers gathering to keep the peace after mast protests turned violent. slobodan milosevic was ousted after massive street protests led by officials in the current government. within protesterer today -- one protester today calling the latest unrest the counter revolution. >> in albania, thousands marching yesterday demanding early elects. protesters accusing that government of corruption. the mar comes two weeks after a pro -- the march comes two weeks after the protests erupted in a riot that left four dead. today's protests one of four held around the country. police say there were no reports of violence at any. >> new concerns over "wall street journal" report that china is pushing bids for u.s. defense contract. several in fact. one chinese company recently boasted about building that

country's new stealth bomber. now it wants to team up with companies in america to possibly sue ply military aircraft, including marine one helicopters for the president. let's bring in michael good win and "new york post" columnist. i went through this article. they are followed by comments where people can make comments on it. hundreds of comments, literally. people are fired up over this issue. is this a real possibility that a chinese company could bid for and get a lucrative u.s. government contract? >> the notion that an american president could go out on the lawn of the white house and get on marine one helicopter and on the seat there's a sticker that says made in china, does get your attention. that's the sort of thing that globalization brings. also the sort of thing that happens to a country that is a debtor nation. and that has lost control over its finances and manufacturing. yes, these are real possibilities. i think on this one, there

will be a big push-back. there will be political fall out if the administration would try to go there. so i don't think they are going to try it in the next two years during the political campaign. as we get into globalization rules and trade deals. we call on that to open its markets it doesn't and we continue to do. these are the questions we have to face if we are going to be serious about fair trade and not just open trade. >> back to what you just mentioned, the marine one helicopter. we may or may not have a picture of what they are talking about that can replace that. the chinese built ac-313 they call that the next generation of marine one. why don't we have that technology? should we focus on being able to build it here in the u.s.? >> we could. one of the issues here is are you going to put

. we saw that in the boeing aircraft situation with the europe between union subsidizing competitor. it is always going to be an issue whenever we have these trade rules, they say you are supposed to have an equal playing field. when you get done the line and see how much they are -- you get down the line and see how much they are paying their workers. in china there is no such thing as free enterprise, everything is controlled by

the government sooner or later. that makes it difficult for america to compete if we are going to go by these low bidding rules. >> thank you, michael goodwin, thanks. >> thank you. >> you can catch more of his column each and every week in the "new york post". also on our website. >> imagine serving your country in the military or in any military depending upon your country, only to end unout on the streets when you return home. alone, nowhere to turn. next, we'll tell you about a group coming to the rescue of veterans right here, in need. ths in my chest. so i went back to my doctor again. we chose symbicort to help control my asthma symptoms all day and night.

it airs monday night on hbo. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> three coming out at the same too. they are saying yours is the best. i would point people to the "new york times" front page to the art section today. you got a wonderful reviewing. saying it is the most playful and colorful of the three also by far the most thorough and thoughtful. what did you learn from people that people don't know about ronald reagan? >> what i learned most from the people who we spoke to who knew him intimately, family members, members of his cabinet, people who worked with him for decades, ronald reagan is different from the myths that are spun by so many people today about him. used and abused by those who spin myths about him and do so often for their own political gain not for historical accuracy. >> what kind of myths? >> he's held up as an example that we should never raise

taxes that's one of the big ones. ronald reagan raised taxes six of the eight years he was in office, he felt he had to. there were economic pressures, that's one myth that you often hear that doesn't hold up. >> in fairness, he dropped the top marginal tax rate historic lows that's what people remember when they say ray didn't and taxes. >> yes, but i think they are lead to believe he cut taxes for everyday people. he cut taxes for the wealthy that's a big myth that he had to contend with. we hear dick cheney told us ronald reagan taughts deficits don't matter. that's not how ronald reagan felt. he felt upset about the deficits that he contributed to. he felt that was a stain on his presidency. he thought they married a lot. -- he thought they mattered a lot. ronald reagan told us never negotiate with our enemieses. he was a consummate negotiator who understood the value of talking to america's enemies

and prided himself on doing so when he reached out to gorbachev. found not only a way to make the two countries get along better but found friendship with gorbachev. moving past soviet communism. >> trust but verify his famous line. another clip features the sort of biographer of ronald reagan. >> the difficulty about figuring reagan out was he was not intro -- introspective. to try and interview this guy was unrewarding. he would tend to take refuge behind anecdotes and jokes. >> you heard that i like to tell an anecdote or two. >> when i tried to probe him about his religious beliefs, feelings about women and children, i just got this echoing sound that i was talking into a large rather cool cave. >> i wonder if that is fair?

especially we you consider the fact that morris was the author of a failed byingy. he could never do it after spending 14 years. it was an authorized -- biography, the only within authorized by the president. he did this -- the only one authorized by the president. i read it call dutch. it was awful. i wonder if this is edwin morris' excuse trying to portray ronald reagan as cue with us? >> we spoke to people who new him well, all of them echoed what mr. morris said in terms of sensing there was a part of reagan they could never reach. there was a place inside him that was like a private place. that even though he was such a public figure and could touch you warmly himself as a person who really examine you'ded affection. there was miss -- exuded affect shupbl. there were mysteries to reagan. not even his personal

biographer was allowed in. part of the nature of the complex tapestry to ronald reagan. >> you are getting great reviews. also our "new york post", our parent company owns the "new york post". the "washington post", -- >> we got four stars in the "new york post" i was delighted to see the review. it meant a lot to see people from all sides coming to look for a more real vision of ronald reagan rather than this stereotype that the airwaves are plugging. >> is there liberal bias in this? i did read the tv critic in the "washington post" that suggested there was? >> you would have to say james baker has a liberal bias, george schultz as a liberal bias. >> how about will bunch and thomas frank? >> they are in dialogue with people whom they don't agree. the point is disstring from network television and the more shrill try den stuff that guess on in the news cycle,

being add a reasoned conversation among people who want to learn more. who don't just want to stakeout a position and win. >> i for one will watch, i'm looking forward it to. you are getting great reviews. good luck to you. thanks for coming. >> thank you for having me on. >> great stuff, i will be watching. we'll be right back. hi.
