elizabeth: welcome to the united states have you visited iraq or , syria recently? why that could be a question anyone traveling to the u.s. may soon have to answer, this wednesday december 9th. >> you're watching kcci eight news. eric: also this morning, fans already camped out for the cyhawk basketball showdown at hilton got a big surprise. by bearing gifts. see more just ahead. good morning and welcome back everyone, i'm eric hanson. elizabeth: i'm elizabeth klinge. those campers have lucked out with the weather. metinka: you know what, that's right. temperatures have been so mild. 38 in des moines and a couple degrees cooler in ames. great for the early part of december. a light breeze from the northwest and the wind will be shifting to the south. and help warm temperatures back up to 55. that's 20 degrees warmer than it should be and we will have plenty of sunshine. tomorrow is looking warm. highs close to 60 which could come close to record high temperatures but it will be windy on thursday. friday has a few clouds and slightly cooler temperatures over the wee

anyone who's been in iraq or syria -- and wants to come to the u-s -- could soon have to take an extra the house ooerwhelmingly approved a bill tightening the visa waiver program. here's how it works. right now, people from 38 countries are allowed to be in the u-s for up to this new bill requires visas for anyone who's been in iraq or syria in the past five years. exceptions are made for government visits and military service. investigatorrbelieve one of the shooters in the deadly california attack might have plotted another attack three years ago. they believe he scrapped the plan after a round of terror-related arrests. many of the officers who were called to last week's attack are now talking publicly about it. they say they never thought they would go through something like more wounded. it immediately hit home that this is not a training drill and at that point we just wanted to stop any threat towards any human life at that point." many have been called heroes for their actionn. first, he found graffiti on his business. a nazi symbol with the words go home. now, a fire leaves he

we're really doing is we're punishing americans, european citizens that are dual nationals of iran or syria or sudan who would want to travel to this country but have actually never visited those countries. >> do you feel that this new law unfairly targets and restricts muslims? >> i think in how it's being executed right now, it is impacting muslims negatively both here in america and abroad. i think it was brought about by an anti-muslim hysteria following the paris attacks and san bernardino shooting. we want to keep this nation more safe, and i'm for that. what i'm not for is false senses of security which is what this bill is offering. >> despite the changes to the law when it comes to the background checks that they already do for this program, do you think those checks are sufficient? >> i'm not an expert in the background process, but i think that since 1986 mostly without fail. so something's right with it. >> robert mccaw, thank you so much for joining us today and shedding some light on this complicated issue. >> thank you. >>> one man is dead after a shooting in golden gate park

this new bill requires visas for anyone who's been in iraq or syria in the past five years. exceptions are made for government visits and military servic tata a look at this... a scary scene at a town meeting in indiana last night... as tempers flew -- so did fists. the town board voted to hire a new town marshal... well -- arggents followed about the new hire and then a fight erupted between the new and the old town marshal.... the old marshal was fired last october... "i didn't really expect it to be ininand screaming and yelling and she don't know nothing and i told her to shut up. then here they come there was three of them attacking me." indiana state police is investigating the swtiching gears... as a start-up is guiding people toward healthy eating... with the touch of a button... foodwaze is a new smartphone app that sends foodies right to the source of where their food is produced... rachel menntoff shows us how the app works today...

don't want a western military force in iraq or syria. where are the arab nations? i was remembering during the first persian gulf four years ago when i was with syrian, egyptian, ground forces when they crossed the saudi border into kuwait to push saddam hussein out. where's the coalition today is sn. >> a lot of them are funding the violent extremism being taught in the madrassas. >> the president talked about the steps, no u.s. ground troops -- >> he was forceful on that specific point. >> what he was not going to do. >> was not going to get involved once again in a large ground war in either reaction or syria. >> i think this is one of the reasons why the president is generally reluctant when it comes to talking about this subject is he is somebody who in ways was elected and feels the burden of the responsibility to end wars in iraq and afghanistan and as being president, as you say, the world looks a lot different from the holiday inn in des moines than it does from the oval office, being president habeen forced, in his view, to use american military might mor

if you have dual citizenship with iraq or syria you cannot use the program. or, if you travel to countries with terrorist activity. in the current threat environment, that makes sense. it is not a perfect system. we have talked about people going across the turkish border. but isn't this a common sense and hence met? -- common sense enhancement? perfect, but if that person does come here we can determine otherwise they have been to these zones and they said no, we have the ability to charge them with fraud misrepresentation. that is a lifetime bar. >> just a think about this point i had the honor of traveling with colleagues in my first year in the senate to the turkish border with syria. it was a different situation than. isil was not as prominent. one of our briefings was with a range of individuals, any u.s. citizens and many european, that providingof ngo's humanitarian relief and briefing us on the status of the civil war at that time. journalistslk to that were venturing into do were correspondence. -- to do war correspondents. safe, we keep our country

. >> we should not be drawn once more into a long and costly ground war in iraq or syria. that is what groups like isil want. amy: we will get response from isis hostage nicolas hÉnin, a french journalist who was held in syria for more than 10 months , later in the broadcast. meanwhile in london police are , investigating saturday's knife attack on a man at an east london metro station as a terrorist attack. the police say they were told the attacker shouted "this is , for syria." richard walton, counter terrorism police chief, said the attacker's motives are still unknown. >> it is too early to be absolutely certain the motive for this attack -- we are investigating it. we have a number of lines of whatry to determine happened, how it happened, and particular, the motive that lies behind the attack. amy: in syria, dozens of people have died in airstrikes over the weekend. syrian government airstrikes killed at least 14 people in douma and aleppo. u.s.-led airstrikes have killed at least three syrian government soldiers in damascus, according to assad's government. u.s.-led

this new bill requires visas for anyone who's been in iraq or syria in the past five years. exceptions are made for government visits and military service. investigators believe one of the shooters in the deadly california attack might have plotted another attack three years ago. they believe he scrapped the plan after a round of terror-related many of the officers who were called to last week's attack are now talking publicly about it. they say they never thought they would go through something like wounded... it immediately hit home that this is not a training drill and at life at that point." many have been called heroes for their actions. first, he found graffiti on his business. a nazi symbol with the words go home. now, a fire leaves heavy damage -- and police are investigating. the fire happened at a coffee house owned by a somali man in north dakota. no one was hurt. investigators have the area taped off as they look for clues. now it's up to a judge to decide what happens to a 14-year-old in eastern iowa. the teen pleaded guilty to shooting and killing another teen.

syria in 2013. all the aattack on americas identified so far were either french or belgian. the bataclan concert hall was the deadliest location of the terrorist attack. >>> donald trump's call for banning muslims from the u.s. has has caused outrage on both sides of the aisle but it may >> reporter: it has spread around the world. >> this man says that hatred against islam has started: this is not about religion. this is about safety. >> trump says that a ban on muslim is necessary in light of the attacks in san bernardino and paris. >> we're going to have tremendous problem it's getting worse and worse. and those problems are coming from a certain sector >> reporter: republican party leaders are blasting trump's proposal. some potential voters say they agree with him. >> what do we do? we are in a tough situation? what is the right call? we're going to be at war. >> reporter: republican booster tells a group of gop voters. how many people of that group, of that 23, do you think, support what trump is recommending, a ban on muslims temporarily? >> reporter: trump supporters

aisle, is that you have more than 5,000 that have western passports in this program that to iraq or syria in the last five years. that we need to fix. to pute speaker asked us together the task force, counterterrorism and homeland security, we picked the that have jurisdiction. we'll meet again this week but we are looking at short and long-term gaps that we need to fix, making sure that we're the homeland safe so we'll vote on that today. that bill will become law and be bipartisan. suspension,t's on as well. we have a few outstanding items up this week for scheduling purposes, we told our members that there's a good chance they could be here through the weekend. they'll be here friday, for sure. dealow they will have to with a short-term c.r. we will not allow the government so we'll do aed short-term so we can finish our work because we also, when we extenders,omni, the we want to make sure there's a lot of transparency for the what's to be able to see inside those bills before any place.kes defeat isis, it's going to take a strong strategy and strong leadership. our intelligence commu

for anyone who was been in iraq or syria over the past five years, this measure was voted in favor of by massachusetts representatives. >>> let's begin with the paris atttacks. >> we have big news at a paris. the third attacker at the bottom, so talk -- concert hall has been identified. he left syria in 2013 and then stormed the theater with the others and blew himself up. all of the attackers so far were either french or belgian citizens. the concert that was the deadliest location of the attacks on november 13.>>> in a terror attack in california, the fbi has revealed that the san bernardino shooters were ago and have discussed jihad as early as 2013. it is reported that syed farook borrowed $25,000 from an online lender just a few weeks before the attack. they are continuing to investigate the couple's finances as part of this investigation. >> try to relax. i will take a bullet before you that's for dam sure. >> reporter: this detective was telling people that he would sacrifice himself for them. this was as police were evacuating inland regional center he said i meant what i said

one part i want to emphasize. 5,000 western passport holders have traveled to iraq or syria. this is why this is needed now to be able to combat this. i know conference went long. i can only take a few questions. >> is any part of this legislation going to be separate? mr. mccarthy: i want this to become law. any avenue for it to become law whatever it takes. >> do you expect the white house to support it? mr. mccarthy: yes. >> i wonder why there weren't democrats present with you. and is there any application, if you have a comment on what happened in california? mr. mccarthy: first, i'll take california, of course. what we watched, unbelievable. our prayers, our thoughts, we would not want that to happen anyplace in america. i don't know, yet, of why it took place. i don't think it may be, from what it's trending to, the information we're getting, i want to make sure we get all the information out. maybe that's something that this task force has to look at as well, but as of right now, our hearts and prayers go to the families and the lost victims and also to those first re

. >> we're not putting military combat troops back in iraq or syria, we're not going to do that. >> under no circumstances would you not do that? >> i cannot coni've of any circumstances at-this-point where i would agree. in terms of thousands of combat troops like some on the republican side are recommending that should be a nonstarter. deirdre: so, what do you think about the democratic stance in this case, is she saying this to appeal to her base? say an election-season statement? >> she is verbalizing what many of us feel. i certainly agree with her on this that is the worst thing we could do right now is put a bunch of ground cop bat troops in -- combat troops in the middle of a sunni-shia civil war at its base that covers the whole landscape of the middle east, and southwest asia, above that you have a civil war inside syria itself, and you have got 9 air forces flying on the u.s. coalition side, 5 different groups of people on the syrian government side. you have all of these rebel groups that are in there. about 12 of them depending on how big you want to get before you call them

i would not partner with russia or syria. i would partner with sunni musliming in the middle east, particularly in iraq and the kurds. the muslims -- the sunni muslims in iraq will fight if they have good support from the united states. if they have our folks out there with them, with the technology, with the information, with the leadership skills, they have will fight if america is at their side. they won't if they don't, if they're not, because they don't have the support necessary to be successful. so i said we need to commit the troops necessary to do that. we can defeat isis. we will defeat isis. when you do that these attacks will stop. >> why haven't we supported -- >> that is the -- he has tremendous experience and knowledge. he's retired officer. and he said repeatedly we need a minimum of 10,000 troops there. we have about 3500 now. >> we're looking at another 6500 troops. most of whom are engaged in providing the kind of support necessary. if they're going to have american troops in those front line units taking t

forces are going to be deployed to either country, as you noted there are about 50 or so special operating forces inside syriaight now. it is worth reminding our aidence that there are about 3500 or so u.s. troops inside iraq for the express purpose of training and providing assistance, intelligence gathering, and other sorts of support to the iraqi military, as well as working with local sunni militias to help improve their capabilities, particularly as the fight fore ramadi seems to be almost at hand. but we don't know how many numbers, and certainly they would want to keep that number a bit of a surprise so the members of isil and those supporting them wouldn't be able to outflank them. >> so a new force inside iraq, an expanded force potentially in syria, and that expanded force according to ash carter, will be able to free hostages -- i'm taking just a little bit of what he said -- free hostages, gather intelligence and capture isil leaders. is that different to the current policy? >> it is very different, because when you have more people they are more capable of doing all of those things. right now wha

moving through congress that would require visas for people that have been to iraq, iran, sudan, or syria in the last five years. even if they're coming from one of the 38 visa waver countries. >> sounds like a big day ahead. thank you so much. donald trump is again threatening a third party bid. he has been under attack by the establishment for his proposed muslim ban. last night he left the door open. >> if i'm treated fairly i would never do it. if i'm not treated fairly i might very well do it. >> if you do it -- >> i have to be treated fairly. >> trump's political rivals have already condemned his proposal and now we're hearing from other big names. after sunday's oval office address trump tweeted obama said in his speech that muslims are our sports heros. what sport is he talking about and who is obama profiling. many were quick to point out one of if not the greatest of all time, mohammed ali. he released an antiisis statement that served as a not so vailed jab at trump. the statement ended speaking as someone that's never been accused of political correctness i believe our politic

it also requires visas for anyone who's been in iraq or syria in the previous five years. the white house supports the legislation. let's turn now to meteorologist joe, it's been a gray day, but still with above average temperatures. we are quickly moving into a very active weather pattern. the first in a series of storms moves east tonight. clouds will not totally leaves the sky, but some clearing occurs, bringing a bit of sunshine wednesday. mild december conditions are set to continue, as highs push into the 50s on thursday and friday. rain chances develop friday, with a much better rain event cooler air moves south late sunday meaning we need to watch for a transition to snow for the early part of early low: 31-37 cloudy high: 46-52 winds: w 5-15 a cedar rapids teenager today to a plea deal for killing a 15-year-old. authorities say 14-year- old robert humbles shot september. police say the shooting happened when two rival groups met near redmond park. humbles pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, reckless use of a firearm, and going armed with intent. he faces 25

under the new bill, anyone who visited iraq or syria in the past five years would have to be interviewed and obtain a visa. last week's attacks in san bernardino prompted the proposed change and the bill got the support of both democrats and republicans in the house. >>> a trial date has been set for the multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the virginia department of alcoholic beverage control. university of virginia student marquise johnson is suing over his controversial arrest. you might remember this cellphone video of a.b.c. agents tackling johnson last march. johnson wants $3 million in damages for excessive force and training failures. the trial will begin in october of 2016. >>> in just a few hours, we'll know he if your rush hour commute on i-66 will get more expensive. the vote to add rush hour tolls inside the beltway will happen at 8:30 this morning. the plan only affects rush hours and the toll would let you pay to use the lanes without a car pool. you'll still be able to use a the road for free if you car pool during rush hour. and then when rush hour is over, tolls go away

>> one is ease of travel is easier to travel on that type of passport then setting arabia or syria if you want to do business it is easier. there are tax advantages to be a citizen of these countries all of you don't really need to be a citizen to take advantage. i think it is a little overblown. nice beaches. you can complain. and if you want to educate your kids abroad or just have another option. if your country is in trouble you have a haven. >> there is a great line in the book basically the idea that more passports you can have the better you cannot be too rich or too thin you cannot have too many national passports. thank you so much. hangout and sign books. [applause] >> there are books available at the front registered you bite her to sign a copy she will be happier. and the after party will be at the clover club. one more big round of applause. [applause] [inaudible conversations]

crack down on the visa waiver program and make it more difficult for individuals traveling to iraq or syriato gain entry into the country without first obtaining a visa. that pales in comparison to what trump is proposing. >> i have friends that are muslims that are great people -- they know we have a problem. >> trump is not want to back down and there's no indication he will do this now despite withering attacks from across the political spectrum. his proposal to temporarily ban muslims from entering the country's response to last week's terror attack in california. he was unapologetic was speaking to barbara walters. >> do you regret your ban on muslims -- some people think it's un-american. >> not at all. we have to do the right thing. somebody has to say what's right. >> he faced rebukes from other republicans. white house spokesman josh earnest says it disqualifies him and he read a scripted attack on his hair. >> four months they have had eight dustbin of quality -- to the outright lies into the daycare -- >> for trump a not so veiled threat -- noting that a clear majority of his sup
