dominic kaine, al jazeera. >>> let's take a closer look at the background of the man who is believedbe the target of this bombing. he became the finance minister in july 2008, he was affiliated to the future movement. he was very close to the former prime minister, the son of late leader who was assassinated in 2005. we can cross now to the scene of the blast. can we assume he was targeted because of his position with regards to the syrian government? >> well, we don't know exactly because investigators are still looking for clues. however, his fellow politicians from the future movement say he was targeted and they accused iron, syria, and hezbollah, and they say he was targeted because he had these allies. here on the spot, i'm going to move out of the camera, and you can see they are still looking for more evidence, but the scene is quieting down, people are going home trying to fix all of their windows and whatever has been broken. five more people were killed in this incident.. and 71 injured. nine of them are still in the hospital. and the aftermath of this assassination is goi

. >> reporter: virginia senator tim kaine said it's important to support farmers and families.enator says a farm bill should do that while finding new ways to save money. >> we're actually changing the way we do aid to rural america by not subsidizing farmers anymore for crops but helping them buy crop insurance and it's a huge policy change. it also saves money. >> reporter: that policy change along with a portion of the bill that deals with food stamps has been the main reasons progress has stalled in congress searching for savings, some in the gop pitching up to $40 billion in cuts from the programs, a move most democrats have not favored and the reason why some experts say the extension that just passed the house will never make it past the senate. any price hikes that would take place would not happen overnight. it would be a respecting effect that would probably take several weeks to be in -- a ripple effect that would take several weeks to be in place. >>> more wintery weather headed our way and another example of extreme brutality in north korea after dictator kim jong

n chase kain is here with how to protect your presents. good morning, chase. >> reporter: good morning, guys. well, you know, police say it's sort of difficult to quantify this problem because they say so many of these thefts go unreported to police. instead, people just call the company that shipped them the merchandise and report it to them. but we are outside the biggest and busiest fedex shipping center here in all of northern california. they say today alone they're going to handle a system wide 20 million packages. that's nearly twice as many as they handle on just an average day outside the holiday season. so because of that kind of volume, it's unfortunately rather inevitable that some of those packages will not end up in the right hands. they will be stolen right off of people's doorsteps. you've probably seen surveillance video before of people just walking up and swiping packages right off people doorsteps in the middle of the day. it happens unfortunately all across the bay area, all across the country. that's why these large s

nbc bay area's chase kain is live in oakland with a look. >> reporter: hey, terry. we should emphasize first this is just an idea. there are still a lot of hurdles to overcome, including acquiring this land, getting permission to build a stadium, and then of course paying for that stadium. but the idea does have some pretty significant support, including even that of oakland's mayor. a brand new ballpark right on the bay, but no, we're not talking about the giants. this could be the home of the oakland a's. >> oh, no. that's nice. that's nice. they don't need to go anywhere. right here on the waterfront. that'd be excellent. >> i think it's beautiful. it runs right up there with the giants stadium. it's beautiful. >> i think that would be great for oakland. that would be really great. because we don't need them out of town. we want them right here. >> reporter: every a's fan we found loved the idea of turning this into a new waterfront stadium. but it is still just an idea. and the idea could fall behind other plans moving the team south, building a new stadium inst

nbc bay area's chase kain is live with the latest on the rally and also a new development from the courtase. good morning, chase. >> reporter: good morning, peggy. the latest from the courtroom is the judge has extended the order to keep jahi on life support. he also appointed an independent doctor to examine jahi. that is dr. fischer. he's from stanford medicine. he's going to examine her later today and report back to the court tomorrow. dr. phifischer is a pediatric doctor. meantime, while that was going on in the courtroom, here behind me, let's give you a closer look, this is a march and rally outside children's hospital, which just took a lap here through the streets of oakland and returned to the front door there outside the children's hospital. they've been chanting things like "keep jahi alive," continuing to chant now, trying to send a message to the hospital about how they feel about the situation. many of those protesters also wearing the color purple because that is jahi's favorite color. so that's a show of support for jahi. now, this all goes back to that tonsillectomy thi

i've been joined in this effort by my friend, the senator from virginia as well, senator kaine, and my good friend, former governor as well, senator shaheen to eliminate -- to introduce legislation that would eliminate this close to $6 billion hit on our military retirees. our legislation would replace -- doesn't add to the debt or deficit -- our legislation would replace this i believe unfair hit to our military retirees by closing certain corporate tax loopholes that would generate sufficient revenue to make sure that our military families would not be unfairly affected. i have a grander -- in a grander bargain, all things may be on the table, but in this smaller deal, we should not be singling out our military families and those retirees with this undue burden. so i believe and i hope that other colleagues on both sides of the aisle as we get this budget compromise passed will join in this effort to substitute out this $6 billion provision for what i believe would be a much more readily acceptable $6 billion provision in terms of change in the corporate tax laws. i know the chairman

chase kain is live at the scene. what are you learning from deputy this is morning? >> reporter: still very little. we have not gotten anything confirmed. they are being tight lipped about what happened here. there are reports that two people were shot inside a a house. folks here at the scene say no one was taken to the hospital so either they weren't very serious or maybe they were fatal. maybe there were two people killed here. we are still waiting to talk to sheriffs dep. ties to find out exactly what happened here. there are several deputies here as well as detectives on scene. they have been in and out of a house here this morning. i imagine they will be here for some time. we will be here and continue to see what we can find out exactly what happened here. but for now, we are live, chase cane, today in the bay. >> thank you. >>> more breaking news as well. this time on the peninsula. several people are spending christmas morning looking for a new place to live. this after a fire ripped through an apartment complex. it happened near the san francisco general ho

this hh announced was after six democratic senator, warner, kaine, king, shaheen, and hide camp expressed doubts about this. they had many constituents upset about having their policies canceled. this has huge political possibilities and. melissa: lindsey graham said this is the end of the individual mandate. that is something you touched upon. do you agree with that? >> certainly there is going to be problems with it. if you look at democrats and liberal wonks, who the strongest supporters of obamacare, what they're terrified about is, if you made one exception to the individual mandate, you can make more. and they're worried about there being continuing exceptions made to the this individual mandate. each one of them, weakening obamacare, messing with the price structure of insurance policies, making things much more expensive for the people who are insured. remember, back in the shutdown fight republicans after they lost the whole defund move for obamacare, they asked for a one-year delay of the individual mandate and democrats said, absolutely no. this can not be done. well now, they'

on "morning joe" tim kaine in the senate said it was put in as a compromise with the house, but he and other democrats, they're promising to make this fix. do you see that as happening and happening quickly? >> i hope so. it's important for folks to answer the question if many of the republicans i know who oppose this, they have to ask themselves why did their come patriot, paul ryan, insist that that provision be included when we could have done so many other things. we could have looked at the billions upon billions of dollars that we spend in the tax code with great big breaks for oil companies and, you know, not having any tax fairness what e whatsoev whatsoever. there's lots of ways we could have done this. i think this argument will shine a light on the mixed up priorities that the republicans have and hopefully come january when we're all back we'll have this debate continue. and i think if we do, the battle of priorities and values will be pursued and the idea that we would balance the budget on the backs of retirees but not touch billions of dollars in tax breaks for oil compa

. >> let's get more now with cnn political commentators mark lamont hill and will kaine as well as candyrowley. actually, will, i'm going to put the first question to you because you saw that piece on the president's horrible, terrible, no good, very bad year, but when we talk about the economy and we see indicators coming back up, let me ask you this. does he get some credit for that? >> the economy, yes, i will give him a little bit of credit on that, but here's the deal. if i were president obama, i wouldn't hang my hat on short term economic gains. this is a long, slow recovery out of a credit bubble recession. ones that historically last longer than seven years. in that seven year period of recovery, they look like this. they are up, they're down, they're back and forth. just because you might see a couple months of growth, and i'm not rooting, by the way, for the recession to continue. i'm telling you how it has gone historically. when it turns back to sour, as these recessions tend to do, again, bounce up and down, he won't have that there. all he will have is his policies, the li

this happened after six democratic senators, warner, kaine, landrieu, shaheen, hide camp wrote a letterkathleen sebelius said they have been hearing complaints from many of their constituents unhappy about having their policies canceled. they wanted some relief. we know that republicans are united, unanimous against obamacare. the administration needs democratic unity behind it on this when you have six senators, democrats complaining about this, they had to try to make them happy. martha: politically though, byron, i wonder does this make more sense? in other words, is this going to get those six senators over the hump with their constituents? is that going to be enough, or, the other option of the administration saying you know what? we're having a lot of problems, there's a lot of workout issues with all of this. let's take a year and allow everybody to, you know, stay on their plan androle over the course of that year? would that be more politically favorable especially in these tough, these tough states? >> you know i think they're just trying to get through today. martha: seems th

kaine: mr. president, i rise today also to talk about the bipartisan budget act of 2013 and to echo many of the reasons for support of that budget that were just spoken of by my colleague from arizona. this will be the first budget compromise in a divided congress since 1986, and compromise leaves every side with something they like and something they don't like, but it's what americans expect us to do. i applaud senator murray, our senate budget chair, for her leadership since our very first budget meeting in january of 2013. i applaud congressman ryan, the chair of the conference committee, for his work with his house colleagues. i was proud to be part of the budget committee in this conference. americans want us to find a budget compromise to restore some certainty in a way that will help families, help businesses and help our economy. madam president, the day that i was sworn in as a senator, before i took the oath of office i was interviewed by a radio station in virginia, and they asked

from new hampshire has offered legislation, i believe, and i heard the senator from virginia, senator kaine, say we can come in and fix this with a scalpel after the fact. well, we don't need to wait for that. we can do that today. i'm confident that we could reach an agreement in this body today to remove that discriminatory treatment for our active-duty military contained in this underlying bill if the majority leader would just listen, listen to his own members, listen to the american people, listen to those who care about our service members and want to make sure that they are not treated in such an unfair and discriminatory fashion. but instead, the majority leader has decide it had's my way or -- it's my way or the highway. we know these cuts will even affect combat-wounded veterans who have been medically retired. now, my state is proud home to more veterans than any other state other than california. and many of my constituents are outraged that the majority leader won't even allow us to vote on this issue. and i would tell my friends across the aisle it's going to come up again. it
