hemmer. welcome to america's newsroom. martha: i'm martha maccallum live in washington. president and prime minister david cameron taking the lead. they published an op-ed in the "new york times." western leaders are pressing russia to back off from the ukraine. back to this op-ed what's the substance in this piece? >> reporter: it was long on lofty language about the need to confront isis but painfully short on how the u.s. and the u.k. plan to do that, especially when it comes to military intervention. many praised david cameron for coming out swinging with words and actions to protect the british homeland. but the prime minister has yet to commit his country to military action. yesterday's comments from president obama started tough on isis then seemed to walk his promised back. >> manageable? that's when you are closing a lane on the free way. then you have got to go down the free way with three lanes instead of four. >> reporter: the politics continue. we were just two months away from the mid-terms. even some democrats are distancing themselves from the president. martha: is

house works to gather support for a broader coalition against this i'm martha maccallum. i'm here in the "america's newsroom." >> i'm eric shawn in for bill hemmer today. secretary of state john kerry in paris as world leaders there appear to be united in the face of the brutality of isis. the islamic radical terrorist group executing as you know, another western hostage, the third this time. beheading david haines. he was a brittish aid worker trying to help people in syria. he was kidnapped a year ago. british prime minister david cameron calling it a pure act of evil. amy kellogg live in london with the very latest. amy? >> reporter: eric there, is sadness and outrage across the united kingdom to the prime minister, to man on the street and muslim groups spoken out. david cameron's turn of phrase got the most traction. these are not muslims. these are monsters. the fact that there was that familiar british accent behind the murderous mask once again halves sent out a real sense of chills and anger across the united kingdom. >> people across this country, would have been sickene

the two countries, the war in iraq and syria. martha: i'm martha maccallum. france also taking part in the strikes in iraq hit can back at isis targets noing the beheading of their one of their own citizens. bill: first what happened overnight, connor? >> reporter: the u.s. and its allies continuing to target the u.s. bang rou.s. bankroll. but also focusing on military equipment. they knocked out tanks and armored personnel carriers. they continue to hit the modular oil refineries. isis produces about $2 mill a day from these modular oil refineries the u.s. and its coalition partners targeting these sites, trying to reduce the amount of money isis is taking in. isis sells the oil on the black market to turkey and other nations. this is about ultimately sort of removing isis ability to wage war and reduce their fighting capabilities. nobody knows what the next stage of this military operation looks like. but the first stage looks like trying to reduce their fighting capability. bill: in syria how is that president assad reacting to the air campaign? >> israeli officials tell fox news an

for a rapid response force against russian aggression. but will america act? martha: i'm martha maccallum. the plans come as the violence of ukraine moves closer to a key port city in eastern ukraine. capturing that city could carve a clear path from there to crimea. nato leaders talking tough to russia now but will there be action to back it up is the question. >> reporter: what a dramatic turnaround. just a few days ago president obama and other nato allies were talking about the optimism of a ceasefire. that's unraveled the last 24-48 hours. nato is rushing to act. i think they are going to act on this rapid response force. 2,000 nato troops likely stationed in poland to act quickly if a nato ally is hit by russia in the years ahead. but will they act on sanctions? >> he has some optimism about that but he also shares scepticism. we need russia to follow through in terms of not arming the separatists. >> reporter: the door open there, been rhode, saying to european sanctions. there have been u.s. sanctions that hit russia's economy. the european leaders talked a good game abo

martha: president obama posts the worst approval numbers a president has seen right before the mid-terms as democrats are worried about what will happen to their party come november. i'm martha maccallum. eric: i'm shaker sean in for bill hemmer. a nbc news poll find only 40% of americans approve of the job president obama is doing. that's lower than george w. bush's numbers in 2006 and bill clinton's. martha: if you work in the white house you cannot be very happy. these are stunning numbers are. >> reporter: these are appalling numbers for a sitting president. i'm sure the white house has seen numbers like this in their relentless polling. it becomes apparent, though, to us, that the president badly misjudged his initial response to the beheading of one american until and then the second. the round of golf, the detached attitude, the some of the language. what you are seeing tonight as americans are peopling intense awareness of those two murders that the president is going to try to respond in a more forceful tone. martha: one of the things we learned is the story of the beheadi

year. good to see you again. it's been some time. martha: sources are telling fox that the information the president received was strong and granular in detail west it came to the news on isis they gave him. they say there is no way to interpret what he's being told as anything but bad. bill: you heard about this report, catherine herridge leading on that this morning. what does this indicate to you? >> that the white house is imploding at the intel community for not having the right information on isis. now the intel communities is pointing the finger back at the white house. bill: the white house is saying it was blind side. does this run counts storm that argument? >> it does. and it explained why the president called isis a jv. lawmakers have been getting the briefings as well. bill: maybe we'll hear from them as well. quote, we were ready to fire on a moment's notice. 200 targets were located. no order was given. >> it plays into the narrative that this white house has been too cautious on foreign policy. this white house says the last white house was too aggressive. but it does p

service. i'm bill hemmer. martha: i'm martha maccallum. these new developments will likely take center stage as julia pearson will testify before the house and she'll have to stick up for her agency on how the fence jumper got over. bill: you are saying this be a washington coverup. >> we first heard he got into the white house but only one room. this was basically a perfect storm of a security break down. he got through several rooms in the white house. someone in the white house was trying to down play it to the press. bill: there is a white house source that says they misreported it intentionally to down play the story. from a national security standpoint do you think that's defensible? >> we are five weeks from the election and you have got to get all the facts out. if you are trying to cover up to to debright's not good. that's the question for both republicans and democrats will be grilling the head of the secret service in about an hour. bill: secret service did in the lock down areas of the white house. and when that happens officers on duty don't have any knowledge of it which

syria hitting the terrorists cash cow, its oil. martha: i'm martha maccallum. the u.s. and its arab allies attacking a dozen facilities in east syria. >> what can you report about the targets in the latest airstrikes in syria? >> reporter: u.s. warplanes struck oil facility producing 300-500 bares of oil a day. they tried to avoid destroying the facilities so friendly forces could come in and occupy them. even attorney general eric holder suggested that ground troops will be needed to take over these areas following the airstrikes. >> we'll have to look at the impact of the strikes we are taking. i also assume those will not be the only strikes taken against the khorasan group. it will take a prolonged period of time for these strikes and ultimately for the ground troops that have to come in and deal with these people. >> reporter: the free syrian army they plan to won't be ready. they do not know who carried out the airstrikes along the turkish border. they say it was not u.s. or allied war planes. that leaves syrian or turkish planes. it has been reported this morning that saudi a

day and night. stay at it. timothy longo, charlottesville, virginia. martha. martha: two security scarce at one of the most protected places on earth. how. secret service could be changing the way it protection the white house and for good reason, when we come back. >> they are great companies, but they are worth a lot more to the germans as foreign organizations and they are in america because when these two companies leave, it will be subject to the 25% tax rate in germany. they are more profitable, more valuable, that is why we are pushing these companies out the door, pushing money away from america because of our own tax rate. >> in this case you have german companies acquiring companies in the united states. >> 60% of the business and the rest of the world, all that business will be taxed to germany's rate compared to the 40% rate it would be in americae employees? >> the jobs largely stay here. the tax base leaves, it goes to germany, not here. >> how do we turn this trend around? a number of pharmaceutical companies. >> president obama wants to put a fence around america a

. but what will he do? i'm bill hemmer. martha: a lot on our plate. we have brand-new polling that reveals a dramatic rise to stop our action in the middle east. the poll shows 71% says they back air strikes in iraq. that's almost 21% higher in just two weeks. bill: 17 points in about three weeks. >> it's a huge move and it makes the president's job tomorrow when he makes his case to the american people for taking action in iraq easier. it shows what the president wants to do, bomb isil, arm the kurds and deliver humanitarian aid. the public is already there. they support those moves. bill: 2/3 support strikes in syria. you wonder how' of that number could support the white house. >> that's a line the white house has not been able to cross yet. the american public on this issue is ahead of the white house. it gives congress more room to operate knowing the public supports those moves. bill: the president is fighting public perception of his action on foreign an fairs. only 38% approve. can he change that? >> if he takes decisive steps, he will be doing what the public wants him to

? martha: the commander in chief is going to make his case to the american people on this. he will lay out his plan wednesday. first he will lay out the plans to the folks on capitol hill. what do we know about what the president has in mind, peter? >> reporter: the president's plan is already unfolding because senior administration officials tell the "new york times" the first phase used as airstrikes in iraq protecting americans and minorities to prevent isis from gaining too much ground there. the next phase would be training cud i shall and sunni fighters who can help and the third phase is taking out targets in syria. president obama wants the american people to know this is not the start of the a new long ground war. >> this is not the equivalent of the iraq war. this is similar to the dined of counter tear -- the kind of towner terrorism -- the kinds of counter-terrorism campaigns we have been engage in the past several years. >> reporter: strikes there could continue as the 45th president is sworn in. martha: what about congress? what are they asking the president to do abo

to kidnap innocents, publicly behead them and post it online. martha: this is the world we are living in where we report stories like this. hundreds of australian officials raiding properties. them say their plot was to kidnap random people off the street and behead them. >> they do not hate us for what we do, they hate us for who we are and how we live. that's what makes us a target. bill: peter, good morning. the threat, was it imminent? >> reporter: the raid had to be today, because if police waited be australian attorney general believes the attacks would have been successfully executed. a phone call worried authorities so much they believed these isis affiliated australians were ready to carry out their plan, and that plan laid out by prosecuteors was to pick random people walking down the streets of sydney and brisbane, kidnap them, behead them, then release the video recordings of those awful acts. police have published pictures of a large sword apparently taken out of one of the suspect's home in an evidence bag. this was the largest law enforcement raid in australian h

entered new phase on the war on terror. i'm bill hemmer. welcome to america's newsroom. martha: the predent is expected to address these expanded airstrikes before leaving for the u.n. general assembly in new york. five key allies joining the coalition targeting two different militant groups in two different cities. bill: what do we know about the timing of these strikes? why now? >> congress supports this one. this has been debate and talked about. congress didn't want to' touch this one. we had individual lawmakers saying maybe we should debate it. but it's clear politically they didn't want to deal with it. the president said he believed he had authorization or legal authority to do that. more important than all of that is what the administration is calling an imminent threat from khorasan, a tear yoorp group made up of long-time al qaeda members. this group beyond isis, but core and and other terror groups were gaining strength. there could be an attack. but overnight the administration said they had gotten words they were finalizing plans, getting closer to the possibility of a

, welcome to america's newsroom. martha: this video shows a british journalist alive and being held against his will. he makes a statement in this video against the west but obviously under duress. bill: what do we know about the airstrikes on behalf of the french? >> reporter: president obama said it will be a broad-based coalition to battle iraq and syria. that changed as french airplanes' began striking targets in iraq that gives isis. french governments said they tracked isis in syria and iraq. there are 30 countries involved nens is very but few have committed their own resources like the u.s. and france. turkey has backed islamic extremists in syria though publicly these countries say they don't back isis. while this coalition is growing it is far from being unified. bill: what do we know about this video? >> this is a defarture from the previous is very video. the three-minute long video of the british journalist john cantler. at first he introduces himself* calmly. he admits he's doing this as a desperate gamble to save his own life. it's the first of several short films whe

comes as the president implement his plans to degrade and destroy isis. martha: these are shocking numbers we are seeing from the cia. the. >> reporter: the sheer number, 31,500 is the top number. also because the experts had such a different view a little while ago. former members of the intelligence policy says president obama's current policy of dealing with isis is lack. general michael hayden said the reliance on air power has all the attraction of casual sex. it seems to offer gratification but with very little commitment. the had a military back and forth about the new american ally. >> reporter: how does the president make the case to speaker boehner when the president was mock the free syrian army. not warriors. >> they are not. >> reporter: the administration needs to sell the strategy can where secretary of state john kerry has become a traveling salesman. the secretary says it's a model for addressing extremism. but that may be extreme, especially when finding partners for nato action. turkey has not signed on. germany says they are out. saudis say they will only train

first hearing within the hour. it may put hillary clinton back on the hot seat. martha: i'm martha maccallum. the bipartisan committee says today's agenda has two questions they want to gram with. could the administration have done more and did top officials working for hillary clinton scrub documents related to those attacks. bill: what can we expect today? >> reporter: those are serious allegations and we expect the committee to fully investigate them. we'll hear how they will prevent future benghazi attacks. >> i think our fellow citizens have a good sense of who is trying to be fair and who is not, and i think they have a sense of the gravity of what we have been asked to do, which is what happened to these four great americans. anyone who tries to polite sizeo politicize the investigation runs a risk with their fellow citizens. >> reporter: . that sets the stage for today's first public hearing. martha: everybody wondering the answer to this question. what's going happen when this hearing gets underway. we'll speak with one of the members of this select committee. then at 10:0

that mean exactly? i'm bill hemmer, welcome to america's newsroom. martha: the fbi and homeland security say they fear lone wolves could be inspired to act. >> we know they were planning attacks against western europe either in europe or the u.s. homeland and they were close to the end game on those planning efforts and they were getting close to execution of an actual attack. bill: doug, what exactly are they warning in this new bulletin? >> reporter: the fbi and the department of homeland security say they have no evidence of precise terror planning in the ustheunited states. this document reads in part, we believe these stlieks contribute to home-grown extremists possibly motivating home the attacks by hves. those single events do not generally provoke immediate attacks from hves. >> we do not have any indication at the present by concrete plotting by isil against the united states homeland. but we do know that they are dangerous, they threatened americans, killed americans in the region. >> reporter: this follows last week's revelation by jason chaffetz. he said i have reaso

to our shores? here's abc's martha raddatz. rather with u.s. air strikes pounding targets and slowing the advance of isis in iraq, it was easy to think isis could be contained overseas. but it was the secretary of defense himself who gave this alarming warning. >> so, yes, they are an imminent threat to every interest we have, whether it's in iraq or anywhere else. >> reporter: joint chiefs chairman martin dempsey added to those concerns. >> if they were to achieve that vision, it would fundamentally alter the face of the middle east and create a security environment that would certainly threaten us in many ways. >> reporter: but those frank statements created an urgency that the white house did not want. top administration officials began walking the statements back. >> we have no credible information that isil is planning to attack the homeland of the united states. >> in our view, any threat to the u.s. homeland from these types of extremists is likely to be limited in scope and scale. >> reporter: instead of the imminent threat which hagel warned about, the white house now says it
