we are going to have the latestt read from the markets here and overseas and that's it for the cost of freedom block. thank you for joining us. we begin this hour with a fox news alert out of the afghanistan. two americans were kill would in what should have been one of the safest places in the country. tensions are high between the u.s. and afghanistan and hundreds of afghans protest the burning of the qu'ran in the u.s. base. and our president apologizes. conner powell is standing by. conor. >> generall john alen top use commander took it and recalled all u.s. and international troops working in the afghan ministries to order them back to the base as a safety precaution. it tells you how tense the situation is.

it is unclear right now. two u.s. officers who were working with the ministry of interior in kabul, a very safe place were shot and killed this afternoon. the gunman is still on the loose. we are not sure who he was. he was believed to be a police officer working with u.s. troops in the ministry of interior and u.s. military are searching for that individual. this shooting comes at a time after a week of heavy protest and violent and angry protest. 30 or so afghans were killed and two american soldiers were killed when an afghan soldierr turned his weapon on the troops. this comes about earlier in the week u.s. military officials announced they had destroyed several copies of the qu'ran which is offensive to afghans here and across the country. we have had rioting and violence protest and serious injuries.

the reason that is the shooting is so important in a turn of events, the entire strategy is resting on training the security forces and them not being trained that will not go on. and so the entire strategy moving forward is thrown in question, uma. >> thank you for that update . turning to yemen. southern yemen. 25 people were kill would in a suicide bombing outside of the country's presidential compound. it happened after the new president was worn in. he took the oath in front of parliment and pledging to fight the al-qaida militants and deleer the way for displaced yemen ese to come home. back in this country leading into tuesday's michigan primary. mitt romney and santorum is in

a close race it is romney's home state and this is a must win for him. steve has more on the race and how it is all looking at this point. steve? >> uma. even mitt romney supporters say losing his home state after leading in the polls until earlier this month would be a blow to his campaign. it would not be fatal but of late they have trended in romney's direction. that is an encouraging sign for him. he is expected to take the party and americans for progress event and a who's who of a conservative movement. and months ago, in only the last 48 hours did mitt romney and rick santorum speak here. earlier rick santorum took the podium. what he is talking about in the early portion of his remarks. a positive note for the future

and a last third of his remarks and critisms of mitt romney. and specifically talking about how romney inconsistent in the topic of bailouts. is it is wrong to bail out wall street. i can understand why. they bail out wall street and not bail out detroit? and the interesting thing for santorum. he's taking a popul acetone if you will. this is the home of the reagan democrat. and roman catholic and socially conservative that have swung republican in years past. he is targeting his message. but interesting thing santorum was against the autobailouts himself. and against the wall street bailouts . what he said is inconsistent. he had his way it would be as

mitt romney would. but he is capitalizing on that politically. he had a web adthat features blue collar union workers and included autoassembly line shot and the folks in the center ground of this particular argument as to whether or not the government should have used this money. it is unclear how that will pay off. mitt romney is talking about the president . rick santorum is talking about mitt romney. >> it is a raise. and thank you very much. gas leann prices jumped upwards of 14 cents last week. and the average price of a gallon of unloaded is 3. it is a hot button issue that president obama and republicans are sounding off on. doug is live here in washington with much more on this situation. >> afternoon, uma.

america faces the unprecedented rise in gas prices for this time of year, what is most striking in a lot of people's minds is the polar opposite views of the two parties as to what is causing that price rise. how much have gone up. national average rose 12-14 in the last week alone and standing at 3.65 a gal yon that is higher than a year ago at 3.23 . both parties do agree that tensions in the middle east and iran contributed to the rice. but after that parties part ways. administration is touting the all of the above approach to energy policy. >> under my administration america is producing more oil today than any time in the last eight years. 2010 dependence on foreign oil was under 50 percent for the first time in a decade and

there are no short term silver bullets, i directed my administration to look for every area to make an impact and help consumers in the months ahead from permitting and delivery bottle necks. and listen to republican senators kay bailey hutchinson present a different picture. >> but, president obama's policy has resultted in an unprecedented slow down in exploration and production of oil and gas. off shore drilling permits are issued at less than half . rate of the previous administration. the average number of leases issued on public lands is less than half that during president clinton's term. >> in addition to all of this conflict. catch 22 in the gas price roller coaster. world economy breaks free of the recession it will require

more fuel and that is leading to higher demand and higher prices. >> too much pain in the pump. thank you very much. >> tomorrow is fox news sunday. chris wallace will have an exclusive interview with mitt romney. chris will be sitting down with indiana governor mitch daniels and you want to watch that. and fox news can confirm that osama bin laden's compound in pakistan is being demolished. residents said the government destroyed one room. it is not certain how long it will take to destroy the entire compound. we are efforting video on this . bring it to you when we get it in the news room. the osama bin laden compound is being destroyed at this hour. turning now to winter weather. longg-awaited snow has caused dozens was car crashes in michigan. officials say they have respond to 48 accidents since

yesterday and strong winds could cause issues in many parts of the country today. maria molina is live with more on the forecast, maria. >> hi, uma. we are looking at big-time problems with the wind. there is a number of wind advisories in the northwest and central plains and in the northeast. watch out for possible air travel delays. we could see wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour from dc and boston. that's the case in parts of the northwest . as far as the precipitation goes. generally dry in the center of the country and lingering lake-effect snow showers and couple of spots up to five or six inches out here and this is localized and not a huge impact in the northeast for areas further off in the eastern part of the corridor. we have rain showers in portions of south tex exex and

northwest continued to be pummeled. and they could be looking at accumulations today in acess of a foot. it is a lot of snow out here. >> a lot of snow and we have been lucky so far. we haven't had too many crazy days. it happens and aultz hurts. thank you, uma. >> and two journalist killed this week in the continued violence of syria. one of them a member of our news corp family. maria colson. and now western countries are putting more pressure on the syrian president to step down. dominic is live in berut with more on the story, dominic. >> uma, dismay and disappointment from the syria opposition that the conference yesterday of cent countries that got together to see what they could do to bring an end

to the violence in syria came up with no strategy whatsoever. look, we wanted action and deeds and not more condemnation. it was interesting to see a split between the arab league and western countries who are calling for military intervention. it is an excellent idea. hillary clinton showed a great degree of frustration and that is for china and russia who veted attempts to bring a end to the violence. this is what she had to say. scrathing comments. take a listen. >> it is quite distressing to see two permanent members of the security council using their veto when people are being murdered, women, children, brave youngg men and houses are being destroyed. it is just despicable and i

ask whose side are they on? >> and searing stuff from hillary clinton . russia pointing a finger in the west and nato countris and arab league saying they are stirring up more violence. supporting the opposition. it was extraordinary when the palestinian hamas decided that it would support the syria opposition after being backed so longg by the syrian regime and by assad's regime. and we are hearing that the international red cross managed to get in homs and evacuate 30 woman or children. no word on if the journalist that are injured are taken out as well. it sia multiparty system. and no indication of how he's organizing that and what

exactly is going to take place. opposition said it is a sham and what happens come sunday. back to you. >> a disturbing story and the images are sobering. dominic, thank you very much. >> and crash pakistan is use're aexcused to be a u.s. drone. but pakistan is not confirming that at this time. no word on what caused the crash in north waziristan. christian groups are trying to save an iranian pastor who is sentence to die for his beliefs. we'll talk to the lawyer next. and plus, a decision reached in the corruption case against a former italian prime ministeberlusconi. stay with us. ok! who gets occasional constipation,

work ares in michigan are coping with a tough economy. getting people back to work is number one issue. who can get the job done. we have the senators from michigan.

the gop candidates are arguing over the wisdom of the auto industry bailout. we know that automakers are posting profits and adding jobs. what impact high gas leann prices will have on positive gains so far in your state. there it is going to affect. it will go to the entire michigan deligation. our new governor feels it is a vital concern. they are pooling in with all of the american people. >> at this point are there concerns that any gains are going to be wiped out if this continues for the long term?

gasoline prices tend to go up and down like a yoyo. they will not help anybody or the auto industry. and the auto industry is doing well. 200,000 new jobs and ford chrysler and gm are hiring some 200,000 new workers and are building new plants and putting workers on three shift days and beyond this, we are finding that the american autos are leading the world. gm is the biggest producer in the world and the best financial quarter that they have had in years and ever had. and so the bailout was a good thing and we are glad it was done and pleased that the people of michigan will have a chance to speak about it. >> our recent polls are showing they are optmistic . first time they end with the highest unemployment rate. we heard about lower plans on

businesses going forward. is that enough to sustain growth over the long-term? in michigan what we are see going throughh now is an continued effort to make sure the painful recovery in the autoallows them to move in the global market place. we know that there is much work to be done. tax relief in the economy will be part of what is done to make sure the american economy can be and remain the economic engine of the world. we have to be candid about it. none of the republican candidates support the auto industry's bridge loan at the time. they have time to make sure they can survive and thrive in the 23rd century. >> congressman what are the

voters telling you about what matters most to them when they plan to cast their votes on tuesday? >> it is a good question. i don't think i heard much discussion of it amongst the candidates. it is jobs and emplyment and the economy. people care about these things and they are very much seeing to it what is done to help the autotrea which is critical in michigan are carried forward. in? seven jobs are affected by the auto industry. if we hadn't done the bailout we would have 40 percent unemployment in michigan. critics say mitt romney doesn't support the auto industry pail bail.

what do you say to that? >> none of the candidates that are currently running and could win the primary supported the auto industry in that period of time. it is a difficult argument to make for who ever the republican nominee is in michigan . my colleague is right. jobs and economy and preservation and promoting the manufacturing base for both in tuesday and in november. >> how tough if he doesn't win the home state? >> i think it is seriously going to hurt him. >> congressman? >> nothing has been positive. it is a mara thon for all of the candidates and they have to make sure they get the decision rightt. in february and august and will in november. >> thank you, gentleman. we'll see what lice ahead and it is a interesting outcome and we'll all look forward to that. thank you very much.

>> thank you. >> now, it is yourr turn to weigh in on the 2012 race. can mitt romney win michigan? and is his state a must win for him. go to tweet your answers to us . i plan to read your responses later in this hour. an iranian pastor who converted to christianity has been sentenced to death. the pastor was arrested more than two years ago on charges was converting to christianity. lawyers here in iran and in u.s. are working to get the conviction overturned. joining us with the latest on the pastor's case. great to have you here. talk for a moment about the situation. it is a very, very sobering and very scary situation for the pastor. what is the latestt at this point, and knowing that this sentence has been placed upon

him and then he is awaiting a death sentence. >> he's been in jail 866 days only because of his christian faith. his wife was in jail for a year and his attorney is facing nine years and barred from practicing or teaching law again. he's had a death sentence hanging over him for two years itself . now the appeal's process is done and went to the ayatollooh h. we have office around the world and worked with the iranian legal team and it is very rare that you follow something like this in iran. it was the last time in 1990 . what we have seen and reported on monday just like when we talked about it on fox news. doing a great job covering the story for everybody. the attorneys came to us and said we have to spread the message. this is the second time they said tell everybody again because they believe and these

are experts that on monday, when they gave us the phone call, his life was in danger and the execution, every day. they believe in execution order has been issued. in iran, that is not public. in 1990, when you go back to the pastor who was executed. they got the order when they got the body. >> wow. >> the white house has released a statement condemning the action. do you think the u.s. is going to have to step in a more forward way in a way that is going to send iran a message that it is serious about the situation. >> it is interesting. in september and october it took a month for the state department to engage and the white house engaged in october and secretary clinton taking it seriously because it is iran and the careful relationship with the united states. here this week, we announced this on monday and tuesday execution order and by thursday, the white house, and here's what is key.

we don't want it to be the u.s. government that versus ran. but what helps the statement and the world and media speaking out. i will break it here. some people may have seen it. in iraniann news. they have press tv and offices here in the washington d.c. and they announced the front story, this is not true and they did this in october. and he's really not on trial for aposstasy. but on trial for other crimes and that is a good sign, because the white house and everybody has spoken out in the media that they are watch we know from the past precedent. just because an execution order has been issued it doesn't mean it is over. he's been in jail 865 days. >> they are back tracking? >> they are back tracking and i hope we see a confirmation very soon probably after the holidays over and the day

startos sunday we can confirm he's alive and taken together with the press report. we have to be careful about. we may have stalled it again. we hope and pray for that. but we to be prepared if they haven't and if they move forward. they will not release him it is not a victryy to release. they will test the waters for about five years and if the world doesn't speak out. we call you and say this may happen because they try to get the media to say it is not going to happen. if you keep speaking out ready to every time. they listen. 24 hours after the white house statement and looks like delay of execution. >> that is good news, let's hope so and so the pressure will stay on. and the great part about the eric cantor announced to us the resolution that is bipartisan in the house of representative will be voted

on wednesday of this week and the great thing about that. there will be sponsors, the first muslim congressman in u.s. authority. keith elison. we have to keep up hope. until we know it is over. we have to assume he is alive and keep fighting. >> thank you for the updivate and we'll check back with the situation as it. >> thanks to fox news. and newly elevated cardinal dolan is back home amid two brewing controverses and some are saying it is all over for mitt romney if he doesn't win michigan. it is coming your way next. stay with us. cky shore, and most importantly, its lobster. it's the tastiest, the sweetest, the freshest. nobody can ever get enough [ male announcer ] it's lobsterfest at red lobster,

they were killed inside afghanistan's interior ministry. this comes after days of protest over qu'rans being burned. and corruption case against former prime minister berlusconi was dismissed. they ruled that the statue of limitation has run out. and republicans and president obama are at odds over what to do over rising gas prices. the president said there are no quick fixs and kay bailey hutchinson argued that the president is blocking new sources of oil. and most gop candidates are spending the day in michigan ahead of the tuesday primary. they are all holding eventt today. romney and santorum are in a dead heat in michigan. newt gingrich is in

california. those are the top stories right now. back to you. >> thank you very much. as he just mentioned with days to go, it is not clear who the real leader is in michigan. the latest rasmussen poll shows that mitt romney is in the lead by six percent and inching out the margin of error. but the average shows a closer race with romney leading by less than two percent. can he win in his home state? joining us now. is the university of the pennsylvania professor dr. butler. welcome, ladies, great to have you here today let me ask beginning with you. what does it mean if mitt romney can't win in his home state of michigan? >> the thing that people have to keep in mind. michigan and arizona are important. but uma, right up on the tail end, we have a march third washington caucaus and a super

tuesday behind that. you have four caucaus states and then other major states. massachusetts and ohio and virginia and in virginia, newt gingrich and santorum are not on the ball on the. and so michigan and arizona are important. but then you have super tuesday coming up it is all about the delegate count. michigan and arizona are important . all of those very important big states on super tuesday are equally important. >> perception is everything in politics and if he doesn't win in his home state that does not spell good news for mitt romney and shows that the gop doesn't have a clear front runner as we head in super tuesday. >> i think that is true. i think it is difficult for mitt romney on a couple of levels. i wouldn't be too sure about what happened on him on tuesday. evangelicals that are looking to santorum.

that is the first thing and if he doesn't win on tuesday, there is a talk about a brokered convention and if he doesn't have momentum in to super tuesday, the party will have to think about what happens next? is there a room for a brokered convention and will he hold the day when it gets down in tampa. >> that is an important point. the momentum with the primary is up and down and all around the bottom line. santorum was up, up until the debate the other day and so now, you can see mitt, he cut into a little bit of santorum's lead . now you see mitt, having a bump out of the debate. we can speculate about how it is going to look. but i think it is the case with the primary. we are just not going to know. and it still seems ladyies, what is going on in the gop, is that there is a

lot of feeling that mitt romney may not be the one that everybody's in love with and certainly, the fact that people are looking beyond mitt romney even as he was the front runner and then down and now back to being front runner again. >> they are looking at anybody but mitt romney, what do you think about that? >> i think mitt, is consist yent everybody is up and down. but he has been consistent. this is what primaries are all about. but the one thing that the republican votersses are pretty clear about. they don't want obama. so we will have to let the process work its course and hopefullyy, i don't thinkk any be in the gop leadership want to see a brokered convention. that may happen. but we'll have to let the primary work its course and see how he does. >> dr. butler, we'll get your thoughts on this? >> i think she is right up to a point.

i think that the problem mitt romney has. he is the kid that is picked last. he's doing this for the second cycle and most of the base don't like him . you have another issue with rick santorum who is very, you know conservative and also the religious kind of thing that is he's bringing up right now makes it difficult for other people who might want to come over, independents to vote that say i just can't do it. i think the party has a fundmental issue right now . tomorrow, you will have on romm rom and then you will have daniels on afterwards . then is there somebody else to pull us out of this. there is not enough time. i think the unease with the base is a problem up until the convention. >> ladies, this is something that we are watching closely . we'll be bringing you the

latest. >> and thank you. >> the cathedral in new york is holding a prayier service for cardinal dolan. lauren green is got more on this. >> hi, loren. >> you know, he's had a rock star's welcome all week and continued in st. patrick's cathedral. like a conquering hero. cardinal dolan worked the crowd in the official welcome home ceremon yecelebrating the elevation by pope benedict xvi. the red hat was for new york and new yorkers and also attending state and civic leaders who he's been at odds with over the health care man date and a prince of the cath lickk church of rome. doll an is in the most prominant and powerful pulpit. he and the bishops will not back down on the president's

policy. >> nothing is done to temper what seems to be to us and a good swathe of people and unwarranted in an untrusion in the integrity of the churches as far as the government trying to define for us what our religious ministry and the scope of our ministry should be. you beat we'll keep at it not only challenging the administration, but also working with the legislature and the judiciary to see that this is modified and hopefully overturned . the day is not over for dolan. there is another prayer service this time for the members of the 400 parishes of the archdiocese of new york. uma. >> thank you very much. >> be aware. you better buy the right type of food or the food police will come knocking. >> this fella walking around. they drewtheir guns. >> he searched me and seemed like they thought we had cocaine in the papaias.
