chief washington correspondent james rosen has the latest. james? >> chris, good morning. president obama and his national security team approached this day, the president's 52nd birthday, not in a state of celebration, but rather one of apprehension. the u.s. embassy compound in cairo, egypt, is one of nearly two dozen u.s. installations that would normally have been open today, about is now closed. at the u.s. embassy in yemen, heightened security was ready discernible. a senior lawmaker told fox news that terrorist chatter picked up by u.s. signals intelligence exceeds anything witnessed in more than a decade. lisa monaco, the president's counterterrorism advisor, and susan rice, now the president's national security advisor, who led the interagency advice. rice chaired a principals committee meeting yesterday that included the secretaries of state and defense and directors of fbi, cia and nsa. still another participant in that session says it appears plotted at western, not specifically u.s. influence. >> we're taking it seriously, which i think you'd expect us to do.

i thought james rosen's piece made that point quite well.ne of the reasons that weighs on the side of people like charles that say support the military in egypt is that the muslim brotherhood and others are targeting coptic christians and others, and the military may be the last line of defense, so there's not a real ethnic cleansing or religious based cleansing of christians in those countries. >>> next up, an incredibly brutal, senseless crime, and how it is being covered. >>> do you have reaction to the christopher lane case? >> i am not familiar with that. >> in oklahoma, 22-year-old australian out on a jog, and young men apparently told the police they were bored and thought it would be fun to kill him. any reaction to that? >> just that it sounds like a tragic case. i wouldn't want to get ahead of the legal process here. the president i think has spoken eloquently about violence in the community. >> why hasn't he spoken out on this in this case? in the trayvon martin case, he spoke out extensively on that. >> in the rose garden? >> yes

james rosen has -- the u.n. angle. james? >> spokesman for the u.n. is saying today that any suggestion that the united nations by withdrawing the chemical weapons inspectors from the ground in syria and getting them out today, they have reached safety, any suggestion that that move by the u.n. to pull the inspectors is in essence allowing the united states to proceed with a military operation and stepping aside for that purpose to spokesman for the u.n. calls that grotesque. and notes that many, many u.n. workers, thousands, are still in syria delivering humanitarian relief and aid of one kind or another. now that we know with some degree of certainty that this speech by the president in the rose garden, just a few minutes from now will not be dealing with an imminent military strike, it is safe to say the president has several audiences, the american people, of course, congress, and the rest of the populations of the arab world, allies and our adversaries around the world, for this president particularly attuned to literature, audience is also histo

chief washington correspondent james rosen has tonight's top story. >> reporter: in the nearly 12 months since a premeditated attack at two u.s. installations in benghazi killed four americans, including the ambassador to libya, not a single terrorist has been brought to justice. at the state department, an investigation by the accountability review board, arb, resulted in four employees being placed on administrative leave. now secretary of state john kerry ordered all four reassigned to different jobs. >> clearly things could have been done better. i think that's patently obvious to everybody that followed this almost a year now, but again, we have to let the facts lead where they may and these are people with real lives and real careers and we can't just take action that's not warranted against them to make us all feel better. >> reporter: eric boswell was the highest ranking, he resigned his post. another senior official testified in deposition six months ago, the only court testimony on benghazi to date that he didn't know why he was singled out. >> i have not seen the classified ve

>> james rosen from the state department, james, thank you so much. >>> israel and the palestinians opened their first formal peace talks in the region in nearly five years. the two sides are saying little publicly about the meeting. the israeli government released a brief video showing the chief negotiator shaking hands in an undisclosed location in jerusalem. >>> he says he is sorry he hurt the united states by leaking to wikileaks. he says he understands he must pay a price for his decisions. he faces up to 90 years in prison. >>> soon, talk may not be as cheap as it is now. president obama has a plan to boost your cell phone bill to pay for another big initiative. white house correspondent wendell goler on a proposal sure to get a lot of people wired. >> reporter: the nation's number one cell phone user is a plan that may raise the rates on yours. president obama wants to expand high speed internet access in the nation's schools, less than a third of which have it now. deputy press secretary josh earnest told reporters on martha's vineyard the increase in rates won't be much. >> probab

james rosen at the state department with john kerry's big moment on the world stage. we begin with chief white house correspondent ed henry and a president on a very hot and lonely seat. good evening, ed. >> reporter: that's right, good evening, doug. a president that came to power opposing war tonight is on the verge of unilateral military action. after days of the commander in chief laying low on syria and twice letting his secretary of state take the lead, president obama called the gas attack in syria a challenge to the world, so he tasked himself as reluctant warrior, stressing this will not be another iraq by insisting any action will neither include boots on the ground nor an open ended commitment. >> i assure you nobody ends up being more war weary than me, when you have a regime that's willing to use weapons that are prohibited by international norms on their own people, including children, that they're held to account. >> reporter: his reset with russia in tatters at the united nations, and his ally in britain unable to deliver support for a coalition, the n

james rosen has spent the day at the state department trying to get answers. another warning here, this report also contains disturbing video. >> reporter: as the syrian regime assaulted rebel positions in the damascus suburb not far from where an alleged chemical weapons attack killed up to 1800 people on wednesday, the obama administration with held judgment on whether or not the chemical weapons were used. they still reserve opinion on whether or not they can use them. and the u.s. has directed the intelligence community to nail down the facts. >> that means gathering information from witnesses on the ground. it means intelligence-gathering. it means open source reporting and examining that. and obviously, we've taken a close look at that. it means scientific gathering. >> reporter: but republican senator john mccain says he is confidence that the administration has used chemical weapons begin. critics speak out about whether or not he uses action against the weapons used in syria. the president is eroding credibility. >> if we do not act in a very, very cl

alisyn: so we want to bring in now james rosen at the state department. will be talking about? >> reporter: this is shaping up as secretary of state's kerry biggest moment on the national stage since he assumed office in fenn. his aides tell me drafts his remarks on his own ipad and seek to build off the remarks he made on monday. to that effect he will try to lay the predicate for the actions that president obama is still said to be weighing. here is what to look for. first and foremost, some kind of a preview of unclassified intelligence dossier that we're told the administration will release to the public by the close of business today. second, some indication of the scope that this campaign will be taking when u.s. missiles or planes are put into motion here in syria. we have herd all along it will are narrowly tailored. expect the secretary to make that point as well. whether he will give us any sign of the legal justification the administration will rely on this kind of operation absent any approval from the u.n. security council or the united states

lou: james rosen. >> while the attorney general focuses on changing a criminal justice sim, fox news is reporting, that the obama administration's lax immigration policies are having major consequences on our boredder with mexico. -- border with mexico, illegaa immigrants are flooding processing centers, claiming asylum. to put detainees up in hotels at taxpayer's expense, this number of people now seeking asylum will swamp the system. they say, it is planned. and they believe in many instances coordinated. fox news correspondent william with our report. >> reporter: illegal ill grands are not typically treated to taxpayer funded hotel rooms but after 550 immigrants claimed asylum in one week near san diego, armed agents were forced to escort a flow of families to hotels. >> this has to have been orchestrated by somebody. this is beyond belief that dozens or hundreds of thousands of people would simultaneously decide they should go to the u.s. and make this climb. >> a i acai or is has a well for of future persecution. >> reporter: asylum claims stop any deportation proceedings among

james rosen with the news live in washington. james?is, good evening, just three years ago, every sign was that the obama administration was inclined to approve keystone. these days, president obama is openly ridiculing republican force touting the jobs the project would create. >> they keep on talking about this, an oil pipeline coming down from canada, that's estimated to create about 50 permanent jobs. that's not a jobs plan. >> they mocked the prompt and the jobs that it would create. i don't know how he can look measures in the eye and struggling and think there is anything to joke about. >> in fact, the state department, which is evaluating the project estimates the keystone could produce 42,000 jobs over the first two years of construction. some see the president favoring the environmental movement over big labor, which supports keystone. >> he can give them workforce development moneys. there are different types of tax breaks and other industries. there are other ways that he can appease labor with the environmental community, k

james rosen of the state department reports on a surprise defeat in britain. we begin with what the administration is doing right now. >> reporter: we finally reached the pivotal moment where the obama administration is revealing its intelligence. to prove the syrian government is behind the attack. they are doing that as they make their case to congress even though they are not promising votes in congress. syrian president bashar al assad remained defiant denying his forces used chemical weapons. while white house officials hit hard with questions about another iraq insisted they have an air tight case over last week's mass chemical attack. >> these international norms are important. and it is not appropriate for totalitarian dictators to flout them with impugnity. >> reporter: a key republican is backing the president up on the intelligence but charges the consultation has been more like checking a box. >> i think the facts will be on the president's side but he needs buy in from congress. >> we send a shot across the bow saying stop doing this, that can hav

he came back later and said he didn't plan to posecute james rosen, he was just using him to manipulateo get to the next guy. again, that very fuzzy use of the law, it was definitely not clear to us under sworn testimony. this is the same attorney general that is still beg held in conmpt by the house of representatives years ago now, now two years ago, he did not turn over doments to us from fast and furious. he had 10,000 some odd documents us for his own internal investigation, but won't turn it over to us. he's been in contempt of congress for over a year now. now, as bob goodlatte said, this is just the latest example. >> it is clear tha this president and his attorney general will persist without effectively respecting any part of the congress' complaint about either his veracity or his conduct. >> corct. this is a push-back on constitutional authority. the legislative branch has the constitutional responsibility -pfor oversight in what happens basically, the executive branch is sayg we're going to ignore all oversight and the senate is concurring with everything, whe setor reid is

james rosen. james rosen. an unindicted co-conspirator named so by the justice department for the crime of journalism, for simply trying to investigate these stories. an accusation backed up by the attorney general of the united states. if that's not an outrage to the journalism community, what could be? last time there was a story done on that? june 6th. what about the wiretapping of ap reporters? going into their files. that's a whole company they went after, and we don't know if it's just ap, but we know it was ap you'd think there would be outrage. i want to know what the administration is doing to me. how dare they wiretap my phones and get my e e-mails. i'm a journalist. how dare they do this. i want answers. last time they did that, they don't want answers. where does it leave us? it leaves us today point that barack obama can do the politically impossible. he can dismiss these as phoney scandals. people are stunned. how can you dismiss the murder of an american border agent as a phoney scandal? tell th

james rosen at the state department looks at the possible blow back the action may carry for our allies and adversaries. we begin with chief white house correspondent ed henry with where things stand now. hello, ed. >> reporter: good evening, bret. fox learned tomorrow the white house will brief top house and senate members about key intelligence involving syria, and also possible strikes that are planned against syria. what we're still waiting for is actual report to the public about what that intelligence shows and we're still waiting for the president to make his case. as president obama spoke out on the peaceful, nonviolent legacy of dr. martin luther king junior, another day passed without him speaking out on whether he is about to launch military strikes against syria. the commander in chief has thus far left his public case to vice president biden and others, while his counterparts in britain and france have spoken out. legislatures in both countries are coming back for emergency sessions. >> interesting to me the british parliament and french parliament have convened to discuss

james rosen is live at the state department with more. james? >> kelly, good afternoon.ecretary of state kerry has spoken directly. we understand to a leader of the syrian opposition to affirm to them that the united states remains determined to respond to the chemical weapons attack of august 21. however, when lawmakers here in washington vote on the proposed military intervention that the president is talking about, presumably sometime late next week, they will not have the benefit of the final report of the u.n. chemical weapons inspection team that departed syria. that team arrives safely in amsterdam earlier today, reportedly on a plane made available by germany. it's believed their ultimate conclusions which the white house says are not in doubt anyway, won't be due for at least three weeks. a u.n. spokesperson bristled at the idea that the u.n. inspectors were leaving syria paving the way for u.s. action. vladimir putin spoke out for the first time since august 21 chemical attack. he said the u.s. should not rush to action. and he called rushing into military acti

james rosen live at the state department at this hour. s, what you can tell us about the scope of any possible military action? >> harris, good evening. diplomatic sources told fox news the operation will likely extend beyond the capital city damascus. these sources tell us the strike also target bashar al assad's chemical weapons delivery systems, meaning command and control facilities in and around the capital but also missile launchers and artillery batteries in mountainous regions out the city. not confirm that of course. >> we are not talk about iraq invasion. not talking about libya no-fly zone operation. that's an important point that the president and we all think should be shared with the public as we debate these issues. >> however, a senior u.s. official did confirm that the targets dimension were, in fact, presented as options by the pentagon to president obama, harris. >> well, one country that comes to mind in all of this is israel, james. major concerns among the allies that syria, iran could lash out and israel is in its re

james rosen has new information about the terms of the president's consultation with congress.g. a senior official told me the president's decision to use force in syria is in no jeopardy of being overturned. it is the vote he asked for and the strikes will go forward even if congress rejects the use of force. they said that was the point of the is speech containing the language it did where president obama said he would proceed without authorization. other senior officials were not confirming that, only telling reporters that the door is being kept open for that. >> secretary kerry has been able to call him after president obama had spoken to reassure the leader that the u.s. remains committed to holding the assad regime for the chemical weapons attack. it urges the international community to undertake a comprehensive and robust military intervention that we reduce the capacity of the syrian regime to inflict suffering on its people and send a message that the use of chemicals weapons will not be tolerated. president obama said he has not gefn up these view that it can be acco

just to be clear, this is specifically with regard to james rosen. >> it is -- well, first of all, theook place before the rosen matter was made public. bill: that's right. >> and so that's part of the problem. bill: all right. >> his testimony was in response to a democratic member's question about the potential prosecution of reporters and really, i think, the ap case was in everyone's mind at that time. but i think the members of the committee certainly came away with the impression that the justice department was not doing things like what was done in the rosen case which became public just a week later when a judge unsealed the affidavit and warrant in that case. bill: this is what you also write, quoting now on the screen for our viewers at home:, bill: suggesting he backtracked when . do i have that right? >> exactly right. and that was, of course, in his response to the committee after we got access to that affidavit. we said, whoa, this is very contradictory to what you testified before the committee. we have a lot of answers to get from you. it took a long time to extract tho

the same thing with james rosen, he was never dieted with any crime. he never committed one. so, again, i think it's important not to inflate issues. the so-called whistle blowers breaking the law to hand out sensitive or classified information to reporters then there are the reporters themselves. no reporter has ever been called for espionage for publishing national security secrets. their sources are certainly at a risk. >> he has been praised as a whistleblower and also a u.s. soldier who made secret documents public. matt, didn't the army have to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law? >> i think federal government has a lot of options in you have a case like this. are you ifing to charge someone with treason. that's something that the tribunal rejected. they are guilty on other kinds of counts. prosecutors have disgression. this will not be solved easily by congress it doesn't matter what the united states does alone does. we can see this has become an thatal issue when you have country likes britain, ecuador and others get involved and in a leak case like snowde

. >> as they say, and as we just learned, fox news from our james rosen, one of the most specific we've seen in a decade. in terms of protecting those at these embassies, a travel alert makes sense to many americans. you should always be alert. if you see something, say something. but as you say, those who work at these embassies, and there are many, 22 at least that we know of, they're sitting ducks, aren't they, in their residences? can we count on these host countries to join our efforts to protect them? >> well, i think we should certainly have been doing a lot more. i hope we are doing more. but i think it also goes to the question that obviously was wrongly answered last september 11th. if americans in a distant place do come under threat, whether they're official americans or private citizens, are we prepared to be able to protect them? to evacuate them if need be. i think that's one of the things that i haven't seen any real evidence in the last 10 or 11 months that we've evaluated the precipitously declining security situation in the middle east and north africa and positioned

committee republicans confirmed eric holder misled congress by giving deceptive testimony of the james rosenhis 70 page report was accompanied by a letter by lawmakers written to president obama calling for a, quote, change in leadership at the justice department. those lawmakers say holder assured the public and the media the potential prosecution of the reporter was something he never contemplated or even heard of. just days later the original rosen was revealed and holder did approve rosen as a suspect in order to seize his e-mails. if rosen was a suspect, lawmakers conclude holder gave deceptive testimony to congress. >> that they would tell the court, as they did in the rosen case, that it was -- they had probable cause that he was at least an aider action abettor or coconspirator in an espionage case and then to tell us we never had any intention of prosecuting him seems as though it is a contrived way to get access to the e-mails of reporters which is exactly what they did in the rosen case. >> we are hearing from the justice department. a spokesperson wrote in part the report was pro

james rosen an unindicted co-conspirator named so by the justice department for committing the crime of journalism for simply trying to investigate these stories. an accusation backed up by the attorney general of the united states. if that isn't an outrage to the journalism community, what could be. without the reporters, that is a whole company went after and we don't know if it is just a ap there would be outrage. i want to know what this administration is doing to me. how dare they wiretap my phones and get my e-mails? i am a journalist. how dare they do that. i want answers. the last time the did a report on that was may 29th. this leads us to the point of barack obama can do the politically impossible. he can dismiss the is as phony scandals. people are stunned. how can you dismiss the american border agent as the scandal. how can you dismiss the death and murder including of ambassador stevens the man and you purported to care so much about as a phony scandal? how can you dismiss the greatest possible abuse of government power for as a phony scandal? because barack obama can b

joining us now, chief washington correspondent james rosen. a couple of -- first, your thoughts on the president's speech. also, what message this sends to the rebels on the ground that the u.s. is supporting syria. >> as you know, the obama administration has long refrained from engaging more forcefully in the two-plus year syrian civil war. and much to the chagrin of the syrian web else who shed blood to try to out the dictator, assad, who has now in the conflict used chemical weapons to such devastating effect. the rebels will not be pleased by this suspension of u.s. action. presidents like to portray themselves as the shapers of history. as -- as -- as shaping the forces around them. and in this case, what president obama has effective decline, and this requires no resourceful opinion, he has placed himself now in the role of witness to power. power he has invest medical the congress to decide u.s. action going forward. even show the president makes the claim that he has a legal standing to proceed without an authorization of force from c
