the fragile empire, how russia fell in and out of love with vladmir putin. thank you, sir. >>> now, to this. the terrorist army, isis, is once again flaunting its uncompromising brutality, a group that beheaded american, james foley, and took it upon themselves to release the gristly images of his final moments. now, they claim they have executed 250 syrians. so what you are looking at here is the gruesome death march of syrian soldiers purport edly taken, this film, just yesterday at a military base, whose capture by ice sis was another worrisome victory for those doomsday terrorists. you will catch a glimpse in a moment of a black clad isis fighter. that's one of the group's trademarks. quick warning. this is about to get worse. you will see the stripped-down syrians well aware that these are the final moments. here it comes. here it comes. here you are. 250 dead syrian soldiers. their bodies, one next to the other, lined up, after their brutal execution by the terrorist army, isis. the people, as you will see in a moment, standing next to the bodies, do n

but then again, this goes back to what vladmir putin is about. and he's absolutely convinced he can take advantage of the united states policy as he sees it in the world today and also american leadership and there's not going to be much reaction. the fact of the matter is, united states and europeans go out of their way to avoid provoking vladmir putin as opposed to confronting him and it's really at the seat of the problem we're facing. patti ann: thank you as always. >> take care. thank you. jon: a brutal attack at a grocery store caught on tape. what police say may have sparked the vicious beating and shooting. plus the desperate serve for survivors of a deadly earthquake and the new danger complicating efforts to find victims and get help to them. we are live with that. remind r happy anniversary.

they owe rapid reaction military force, a move down to antagonize russia's vladmir putin. as german chancellor angela merkel said the e.u. would meet soon to discuss further sanctions against russia as the fbi are investigate as widespread suspected cyberattack of russian hackers against seven of the top 15 u.s. banks. lou. lou: thank you, jennifer. jennifer griffin reporting from the pentagon. as she just reported the fbi is trying to determine the scope of that massive cyberattack against u.s. banks. the extent of the damage and exactly who is responsible is till unknown although the chairman of the house intelligence committee says the level of sophistication indicates it was likely conducted by a state sponsor or, russian organized crime. which often targets large financial institutions. much is unknown and among the unknowns is who was targeted besides jpmorgan chase, although a group of banks including bank of america, wells fargo, bank of new york mellon and suntrust all came forward to say they haven't seen any indications of cyber attacks. jpmorgan says customers

i'm not convinced that is the way vladmir putin views the world. i think there is a chance he will keep doubling down until all avenues are tested and failed. and even then, even if he take as year or two off from this, he may come back the eight in 2016 or 17. i am afraid this guy doesn't accept setbacks and view the world in the same calculus that you and i do. uma: appreciate that. few weeks back now we are just hearing reports of people finally able to go back to that crash site and take a look around. what is your assessment over all as you've been observing last couple weeks the way the whole thing has been handled and the fact that we are still hearing there are bodies in that region sand that some keel elements and key details are lost from the investigation? >> well you know, it is unbelievably tragic an every time you think about this terrible disaster, you just, you know, get sad and sorrowful and i'm sure we all feel that way and the fact that the some of the bodies have not been handled is incredibly distressing on top of all that. the

so i have to assume that vladmir putin has a very calculated strategy here because russia's economiess already extremely fragile. its population has been shrinking by the day. so i don't know that this is going to cause a lot of harm, say for the poultry business in the united states or the vegetable and fruit business in the e.u. will find other hopes. so, i have got to assume that vladmir putin has a very specific strategy here. >> you know what is really interesting, kimberly? >> we were also using sanctions against iran to try to bring them to the table with nuclear deal. these countries have palled up together against us, the enemy of the enemy is my friend. i don't remember who said it but it was a good saying. >> this is ban of brothers of people who wish harm upon the united states, that have us in disfavor. they do not like our way of life. they do not like our politics. they don't like and respect our president. you're seeing this manifest itself throughout the world in international conflicts. when we try to do our level best to put forward some economic sanctions, we're no

all eyes on vladmir putin who's troop movement show he may intend invasion. >> it is not tomorrow buteople should understand and begin to look at the implications of the failure of america to act internationally and how it would impact us here at home. that i would lay at obama' door. >> russian sanctions include imports of meat, fish, milk and fruit. >> columnist krauthammer is talking. he's weighing in on president obama's reaction or lack of reaction to chuck hagel warning russia could invade ukraine at any moment. >> he is so passive and so uninterested in the crisis his own secretary of defense is highlighting. if you deter another great power you have to be serious. this president to responded with nothing, there's nothing we can do we will wait and sees worse than doing nothing. at least if he had been the have appeared. russia watches this and says, is this what we are up against? then make the calculations entirely on what's happening on the ground. >> in other news for you the irs quietly changing regulations to allow more illegals to keep their tax payer status. abolishing

the handshake between petro poroshenko and vladmir putin. also attending is the president of kazakhstan and as well as e.u. officials. mr. poroshenko wants a compromise to stop the fighting in eastern ukraine and halt supply of weapons to pro-russian separatist it is. russia already denied direct military involvement backing the rebels and mr. putin urged him not to escalate the it. there are reports of shelling of rebel strong hold and spreading to other areas in the south. just hours ahead of today's talks ukrainian government claimed to have captured 10 russian soldiers on its territory. russia's defense ministry said they happened to cross the border by accident. mr. poroshenko said earlier today ahead of that meeting he expected today's talks to bring peace and solve the problems in europe. that seems unlikely to happen but this meet something perhaps a small step forward, although so far there is no agreement in sight, heather. >> kitty, they crossed the border by accident. that's interesting. thank you so much from london this morning

charles: i'm concerned we're dealing from most belligerent people in the world from isis and vladmir putinnd we can't have foreign policy of sticking your head in the stand. >> you're talking about muscle in someone's pinky. that is as far as flexing is going. charles: it's a huge departure from the last couple of months. >> doing nothing? >> we drawn invisible a lines in the sand. >> putin is not going anywhere. we talked about it yes, i did. his approval ratings are through the roof. he is thinking he is doing the right thing and not backing. charles: auto loans down in russia 23%. maybe sanctions and common sense might come in. joining us right now fox news national security expert kt mcfarland on the phone. kt, i'm not sure if you heard part of the conversation here. walk us through where we are right now because this thing is moving pretty rapidly. >> let's start with iraq. the hello hell hounds have been unleashed in the middle east. new islamic caliphate called isis. they have taken over large part of sunni territory which is the central part of the iraq and in the last 72 hours the

we dropped a couple of 500-pound bombs on the biggest thugs on planet outside of vladmir putin maybel. we saw video from copeland. i think it is about being tough. making a stand. i think that is what the stock market can be about from time to time, guys. >> it is tough to see your stocks fall last couple weeks. that is very difficult to do. long-term investors be tough and realize long-term investing. charles: when i see tough i always think of tracy byrnes. i don't know why. >> i think saturday morning coffee idea is not a bad one. do not check your portfolio on day-to-day basis. don't become a day-trader. people are out there trading your stock. don't become those people. >> don't listen to the haters, charles. keep your blind es on. go for what you want. >> focus on fundamentals. that is if you know that is what drives companies you like, focus on that. charles: it is hard. a lot easier said than done. >> one more thing. if you have a lot of nice stuff in your house, lock your doors. >> don't put it on facebook. >> you want to show off a little, right? charles: come on a lot of p

vladmir putin was shaking hands with ukraine's president, petro po poroshenko. now, russia is attacking ukraine, and a ukrainian commander called it a full-scale invasion. the united nations is holding an emergency meeting about the crisis. we have heard from u.s. ambassador to the u.n., samantha powers, speaking about these pictures. these are nato satellite images that show russian artillery in formation across the border inside ukraine. she talked about how putin just met with ukraine's leader. >>> president putin spoke of the need to, quote, end bloodshed as soon as possible, end quote. the same day, they show russian combat units southeast of donetsk in eastern ukraine. that same day in luhansk, ukraine detained regular russian army personnel from the ninth brigade. >> russia has denied supporting or arming troops in ukraine. let's take you to diana, in one of the contested areas of ukraine. diana, the u.s. officials say as many as 1,000 russian troops, not rebels but russians are fighting inside ukraine. how is russia explaining this or are they, even? >>

vladmir putin and ukrainian president poroshenko meeting face-to-face for the first time.hey haven't met since june. we're dealing with this all summer. this handshake came hours after 10 russian paratroopers captured in ukrainian territory and claiming that armed russian convoy crossed the border in another so-called incursion. you think this is sign russia is ramping up its aggression against ukraine. would that be more after story that americans and frankly american investors would care about? >> i think pretty obvious russia has strategic interests in ukraine and vladmir putin is pursuing those. i think from the broader context we're leaving this narrative we seem to compartmentalize all these problems. i would say to y public, a lot of these problems right now seem like they're compartmentalize, but very short fuse away from global problems, international problems. have significant impact on international security and international finance. cheryl: 10 seconds, final thought? >> where these two crises fit together are test of president obama's resolve. we all saw the r

vladmir putin could come out of this looking like a hero while he is laying down bombs supporting his guy president assad and make the world think he is a good guy. we have to be careful about this. we have to be the ones leading the way here. i don't want to sound like i am proposing we invade i am saying we can do the right things with the kurd on the ground we can get command and control and do so and try to gain back logs ground. if we don't others will act. it is certain. >> colonel schafer thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> it is 25 minutes after the top of the hour. call it the al sharpton factor. >> we have had enough. >> enough, al. enough of what? police efficiency? >> bill o'reilly's message to em ins of the liberal media in ferguson, missouri. why he says they are making it impossible to discover the truth. >> devastated but determined, james foley's parents delivering a message to their son's killer. >> it is thursday august 21st, a worldwide manhunt underway for the killer of an american journalist. the president ordering more air strik

congress but he seems to be hiding behind congress and all the red tape when it comes to isis and vladmir putin promise of no military confrontation between russia and america, promise no boots on the frowned in the middle east, they all seem to limit options. we don't talk about going to war, but with these limited options it makes the problems so much more embedded guys. they don't seem to go away. as far as the market is concerned, i think they will be anchors but i don't think they will keep us down long. ultimately i think all this stuff will be resolved. i wish i had better leadership. gets back to what we talked about. great show tonight. thanks to meagan hooper and our friend david nelson. join us every night 6:00 a.m. right here. if you can't see the show, don't want to miss a moment of making money. yes, we're making money. i'm on "fox & friends" bright and early tomorrow morning and talking about president obama and wall street fat cats. lou: good evening, everybody. breaking news tonight. president obama at this moment is meeting with his national security counsel ill in the white h

if you're vladmir putin, and you're sitting in the kremlin and have these ambitions and look across westernurope and across the pond to the united states and there is nobody and nothing there to stop you, then why not? melissa: show us those pictures again. peter as former deputy assistant secretary of defense, what do you make of trucks going in there? what do you think is this there? what would you say? >> i understand ukrainians, are these trucks filled with tons of beans or tons of bullets? they're closing in on the pro-rebel force, or the pro-russia rebels there. that insurgency movement may fold in the coming days. so what russia has to make some bold decisions here. whether they're trying to smoke in, bullets or special operations forces or whatever, the ukrainians will not allow it. but you still have 20 to 40,000 russian troops, hardened russian troops across the border that could certainly go into eastern ukraine if that pro-russia rebel movement folds at the hands of the ukrainian armed forces. melissa: thanks to both of you. appreciate your time. >> thank you. melissa: at your s

finally russian president vladmir putin met the finnish president at putin's sochi residence with the finnish president saying that hopes this deal on aid convoy which appears to be in the works over the aid distribution could lead to an end in hostilities. in other words, heather, he is saying that he believes if this aid convoy is allowed in, that could be the first step towards some good wil and a overall de-escalation of the situation. unfortunately with this latest escalation with the russian ap crops apparently crossed into ukraine, that -- apc's. that couldance kel all the goodwill out almost immediately. heather: amy london in london. ed. a student takes stancestand in his own defense and using siri for advice how to dispose of his victim ace body. >>> a mayor is booted out of his office after city employees accuse him of creating a hostile environment. our legal panel takes up both cases. >> we will stand up a at the o tent in is the hall and i will stand up a table and chair and have my meeting. ed: let's check out what's ahead on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. kimber

a month after the annexation vladmir putin was being questioned on russian television station he came out and said, yeah, those were russian troops all along. not a surprise after four or five months of this on boeing unrest and -- ongoing unrest and war in ukraine, the russians basically admitting what we've known all along that these are russian soldiers and russian arms and military equipment being used to attack ukraine. jon: they have apparently, with the help of these russian troops, they have apparently taken this town in ukraine. >> yeah, it is a critical town, really, because it sits on the highway that connects that part of ukraine with crimea. and if the russians eventually win control of that entire area, they win some fairly significant mineral rights, possibly oil deposits. >> yeah. the worry is that they're on their way. they're making an advance towards marupol, which is a larger city that would secure a land bridge from eastern ukraine to crimea. and that is the concern. you're already seeing many residents of that city fleeing. they're fleeing west in fears that is w

perfect segue while president obama is facing record low approval ratings as charlie mentioned, vladmir putin is soaring to all-time high of 87%. the russian president imposing a ban on all western food imports in retaliation for economic sanctions. he is warning that airlines might be next. this number comes from the lavana center, supposedly fiercely independent russian polling research organization. i wonder if they come to you with a gun in hand and say do you like what the president is doing? they say they're independent. >> i think this is completely accurate. i would urge everybody to read david remnik in the "new yorker" about putin. it is a fascinating piece. this is not revisitting of stall hundredist russia. this is going back in time, almost fascist. >> reverse of fear. they are proud of the fact that their leader is pro-mother russia. >> think about what they're doing. they're doing much of the same thing that many fascist states have done over the years. >> they do same thing doing in world war i too. >> staunch nationalism. anti-intellectualism and staunch anti-internationalism

i think there will be huge demand when vladmir putin turns off the spigot to western or eastern europe, it will put demand on fossil fuels and why i think diamond offshore and other drillers will be more focused than they have been until now. >> basically, you are saying we could see pressure on these natural resources but we have this score because of geopolitical? so the strong dollar would be a threat? >> it's a threat. in fact, if it weren't for putin, you know, if you are trading these stocks, you hope that putin keeps doing what he's doing. i think without that, the strong dollar does hurt these significantly more. >> it creates a tremendous head wind. that's what we have been saying to your point earlier about the crb. pete mentioned the airlines, jet blue had a tremendous run since may. when you go to alcoa, alluminum is a commodity. lights dim. maybe we should dim the lights. that's a commodity play. >> that's an under the radar play. >> alcoa to me has been a tremendous stock. i think it's broken up. we have talked about it until the fall. i think it rallies inle the fall. >>

in this case, isis but i think the broader world from the caucuses to what we're seeing with vladmir putin in eastern europe and beyond. jon: is that part of the problem, lynn? he was elected promising to the end the war in iraq. now that the war, the war iraq is over, the official, you know, u.s. component of it, is he just too reluctant to two back in there with any kind of military force? >> yes. we know that prior weeks we have, what, several hundred military advisors there and we could debate how many is too many. so he's -- let's look at this one chapter here. the problem is is there is not an answer to this asymmetric threat. i think today, the administration imposed more sanctions on iran. you could try to punish russia economically. when you're dealing with isis or isil, you're not dealing with a nation. you can't have a boycott. you can't sanction them. you can't go to the united nations and ask for them to be, you know, held up to the world. this is why dealing with iran and another trouble spot by the way we've been grappling with, sir, we haven't been able to, what, weren't we

patti ann: president vladmir putin apparently striking back, retaliating for the sanctions imposed on food imports from the u.s. and the european union. and this move could have a big impact here at home. florida, for example, has sent russia millions of dollars worth of goods so far this year. steve harrigan is live in miami. hi, steve. how serious is this? >> reporter: patti ann, starting out as a one-year ban against all foodstuffs from the u.s. and the european union. that banned was announced at a televised cab bet meeting in the kremlin by russia's number two, prime minister dmitry medvedev. >> translator: russia instituting total ban on food, fish, poultry, cheese, milk and dairy products from the european countries united states of america, australia, canada and kingdom of norway. >> reporter: russian officials are trying to blame the foodstuffs including $5 million a year from florida are toxic and harmful to consumers. most analysts see this as pure move of revenge by russia. revenge for sanctions imposed on russia by the u.s. and european union for russia's continued suppor

sort of like vladmir putin. who is there to stop him? nobody. he has done this before and republicans and even members of his own party have not stood up and said no, that is not right. you don't have members about congress on either side protecting their own legislative prerogative, that the founders gave to them to be coequal branch of government. they have not fought back. that is why you will get this. stuart: financially we're told there is a flood of companies which are going to announce they want to go overseas. this month, someone told that to senator schummer i believe. now if the president comes in and whacks them and says, don't you do that, then the, a lot of companies will not be able to go overseas and a lot of stock prices which will fall dramatically, because this was supposed to happen to save them more money. is a big financial issue as well as political issue. >> rather than fight for lowering of the corporate tax rate, one of the big reasons why these corporations go abroad because the tax structure in this country is so oppr

. >> that is what they did the week vladmir putin invited russia.republican, poland. i can go on and on. >> the country as the president i mean it was like 70% of the country wanted him to end the war in iraq. it happens. is the country allowed to say, why did we do it? >> are they determining our foreign policy? the president, his own policy was they wanted to have a forces agreement. the president you know was supposed to negotiate that. they didn't, i can go into why they didn't get it. the point is they didn't get one. >> now you are in this jam. what do you do? >> now we are in this jam, we have a status enforcement with iraq because we put 3,000 advisers in the country. basically now you do air striengs. you need to talk to your military planners, what is it we need to do in syria and iraq to deny this terrorist group? it's far more organized than your garden variety al qaeda from getting, look at the foreign fighters we're talking about coming in, this is something we saw coming. this is something our intelligence community was warning us abo

vladmir putin polls worse than everybody. >> what are the 4% thinking on putin?ve of him. they think he's doing a great job. >> 49% of the people think wooer in a recession, they will not be spending vigorously, that doesn't speak well for the economy. >> that isn't a good number. >> is that a cyclical thing that can find kind of feed on itself, byron? >> yeah, remember the unemployment rate ticked up. we still have a very low participation rate. it did get a little better. not a lot better. so i think the mood and the economy still isn't as positive as it needs to be. i think we need to show we are moving towards a sustainable 3% growth rate. >> it's a very long rate. we keep polling in our cnbc america poll. we have never recaptured in terms of people's optimism the pre-2008 levels of optimism. >> eamon, thank you for joining us. regulatory issues turned out to be too much for sprint. so it is abandoning its pursuit of t-mobile. craig moffett of moffett nathanson. they told us they were surprised to see sprint go after this in the first place, regulators said t
