into president obama's support among jewish voters. and mr. romney focusing on the right to defend themselves. president obama was never there as president, but was there when he campaigned for the white house in 2008. chief political correspondent carl cameron in jerusalem and carl, mr. romney said he would not be critical of the president on foreign soil. how is it playing out? >> well, he hasn't explicitly criticized the commander-in-chief overseas, but in the statement you just showed there there was implicit criticism that the president is weaker than romney intends to be should he become the president and made the point in 2007 he came to israel and outlined a number of steps he thought would be best suited to help contain iran and control its quest for nuclear weapons. mr. romney suggested today things would have been a heck of a lot better had mr. obama followed his recommendations
7:01 pm
and he hasn't. >> i say in my view that iran's pursuit of weapons capability presents a threat 0 israel, to america and to the world. that threat has only become wor worse. >> reporter: become worse. mr. romney has repeatedly said he won't criticize the president, but as this trip has worn on, he has been increasingly albeit indirectly critical of the president. harris. >> harris: well, we did hear some crowd response, a comment that mr. romney made on the jewish state capital. >> reporter: he did. as he's said before, believes that jerusalem should be the capital of israel and noted that the united states has long held that position and asked today if the u.s. would move its manisy to jerusalem were he president, mr. romney said he would first consult with israeli officials, but has been for the most part american policy, ultimately it would be in jerusalem across
7:02 pm
israel, most really liked that idea and of course, the dispute over the control of jerusalem and mitt romney was trying to deferential, and mr. romney has been out of the country for the few days, in the u.k. for the olympics and how does the israel visit compare to london? >> almost no comparison at all. he had a pretty rough treatment while he was in the u.k. for the olympics, but here in israel, a very, very warm reception, starting with the prime minister benjamin netanyahu to today's appearance at the western wall, very warm, very welcoming, tremendous encouragement and shouts as he's gone around the city, i'll vote for you, good luck, we hope you win. >> harris: and he and mr. netanyahu have been long time friends. thank you very much, and a quick programming note. tomorrow in prime time, 10 p.m. eastern, governor romney goes on the record with gretta van susteren on a one-on-one
7:03 pm
interview from israel and we'll share a sneak peek from the the interview coming up later inside the fox report. turning now to the economy and the rally underway on wall street. the dow jones industrial average coming off its best three-day stretch of the year so far of more than 400 points. the market's up a full 2% overall last week and traders brushing aside poor grosse pointe woods numbers on the hopes at that central banks in europe and the fed in washington will take action to pump up the struggling recovery and experts will be looking for signs the rally is not just a fluke, when overseas markets begin trading in just a few hours, senior business correspondent and anchor bulls and bears, brenda buttner has more. >> harris, the stock market's soaring at the end of last week, the dow did a triple-digit jump to pass 13,000, and the s&p 500, a part of many retirement accounts, shot to its highest close since early may. in the last two trading days, up nearly 4%. yet this just as we learn the economy was barely budging.
7:04 pm
slowing to 1.5% last quarter while consumers cut spending. we already have numbers that proved businesses are slow to hire and invest. and even the housing market, which looked like it might be stabilizing at last, took another drop in the latest reports. so, why the rally? well, wall street is hoping central banks in the u.s. and europe each meeting this week will signal new action. the bet is that the fed and the european central bank will step up to give their economies a much needed boost. the head of the ecb promised to do whatever it can to save the struggling euro and one day before the ecb meeting the fed, which has already aggressively tried to rescue the u.s. from recession, announces its take on the latest dismal economic reading. but there's an old saying, buy the rumor, sell the news. that means traders may have already bought on the possibility of action from the central bank, and that could mean this rally isn't for
7:05 pm
real. plus, other things might stop the bull in its tracks. namely, more of earnings season. many companies so far have done well on profits, from cutting costs, but not on revenues or sales. and not a good sign. neither is the expectation by street watchers who worry third quarter earnings will decline from last year. and that's not all. friday, we find out july's unemployment number. and that all makes for a big week for the bulls and bears. harris, back to you. >> great setting it up. brenda, thank you very much. for the the latest financial developments affecting your wallet. tune into the fox business network, to find fbn in your area, go online fox business.com, channel finder and fox business gives you the proper to prosper. and supreme court justice antonin scalia. >> and a plane called the dreamliner, yeah, butt for the

7:22 pm
goes away, wants whoever is left standing to respect everyone, including minority groups, not all experts think that's sound advice. >> the notion that you simply keep the existing regime in place, just to place a few of the top leaders, i think, is badly misguided. earlier this week, a state department officials says that assad's days are numbered and the white house press secretary said, that assad's fall is inevitable, but not necessarily imminent. >> there are daily reminders of the fact that his power is loosening, that his control over the country is diminishing. we've seen almost daily defections of high level government officials, military officials. >> according to the syrian observatory for human rights based in britain, 20,000 people have now been killed since the uprising in syria began and most of them have been civilians. harris? >> peter, thank you very much.

7:29 pm
israel? absolutely. do we want to he encourage that and facilitate that? >> yes, but for that to happen, ultimately, the palestinians are going to want to have to sit down and negotiate and so are the israelis and i know the israelis are ready, willing and able to do so without pr pre-condition. >> harris: a whale breadth of topics, and catch it tomorrow 10 p.m. eastern, on the record, here on the fox news channel. ♪ >> one hundred days and counting until election day. when americans will head to the polls and decide who will be president for the next four years. right now, it's shaping up to be a tight race for president obama, and presumptive nominee, romney, as you saw was in israel. it's neck and neck, and our steve centanni is on it in washington. steve, what will the
7:30 pm
candidates do differently, at least we can expect differently in the next few months? >> reporter: harris, their campaign schedule, focusing intently on a handful of battle ground states that could determine the outcome of this race. the president will try to energize his base and appeal to independent vote, while painting mitt romney as someone who is not qualified to be president. the president's campaign advisor did just that today. when he attacked romney for remarks about the london olympics. >> and i think the world is not yet ready for mitt romney. i think there's literally to go overseas stand in the country of our strongest ally in the olympics they've been preparing years for and question whether or not they're ready does make you wonder whether or not he's ready to be commander-in-chief. >> well. >> reporter: romney later of course praised the london effort and said, he, too, made mistakes in planning the salt lake city olympics, harris. >> harris: you know, as we look kind of campaign by campaign, let's concentrate on governor mitt romney because he's overseas. what do we expect to see
7:31 pm
there? >> well, he'll continue hammering away at the president's economic policies and saw by going overseas he's trying to build his foreign affairs credentials and like president obama, focus on independents and mobilizing voters, but his campaign decided early on the main message would be the economy and they have not let up. >> this is going to be a-- an election that seen through the lens of how we have a better economic future in this country. if you look at the last three and a half years, essentially been the president's interview for rehiring, i don't think that the american public will agree they want to continue if that same direction. >> both sides will be watching those economic numbers very closely, because they swing this very tight race to one candidate or the other, harris. >> steve, good to see you, thank you very much. >> a dream liner nightmare for boeing is falling debris from a brand new 787 dreamliner shut down south carolina airport. take a look, a boeing sports person saying the plane was in the middle of the pre-flight
