killed dozens in a wave of deadly attacks including one hosting diplomatic talks, secretary of state, hillary clinton. ahead the secretary's effort to pull through the fight against insurgents. plus. >> i think we're going to shock the heck out of everybody. >> the vice-president trying to brush aside concerns the democrats could be in trouble come november, that a week after the white house press secretary warned republicans could win control of the house. tonight, more on the looming showdown and reaction to the g.o.p. first, it's 90 days since crude spewed into the gulf of mexico and now, three days since gp stopped that flow. here is a live look at the underwater well, scientists will take a look at it in a second, scientists running tests to make sure there are no new leaks along that sea floor. so far it appears the new cap is holding. some of the beaches along the gulf coast reportedly having the busiest day in weeks. and locals in biloxi, expressing optimism about the future. >> i've been listening to it on the news and i'm concerned. i'm vacationing and here with my family at the family reunion and having a great time. >> if you've got to get it right and everyone here as far as business is concerned, we're all looking forward to what bp does, and hopefully get things cleaned up. >> and to help with that effort. bp has been paying ship captains between 1200 and $3,000 a day for oil skimming and other cleanup work and we're told that people who accept the wages will have that deducted from any claims they make against bp for lost income. that's the word today from kenneth feinberg, the federal administrator in charge of the 20 billion dollar oil compensation fund. he says it's fair policy that should eliminate incentives to help. bp and government officials are focusing on the next step in the process of plugging the well for good. appears there's a difference of opinion on what exactly the step should be. phil keating is live on the gulf coast, first, we're hearing talk about a possible methane leak coming from the well. is there any confirmation for that? >> the associated press quoting an unidentified federal official is reporting that there is a methane leak seeping out somewhere into the gulf of mexico from the wellhead area, now, i talked with incident command in new orleans, they're not addressing this report directly, only, saying, quote, we continue to monitor the well. and we are now in day four of the structural integrity test phase involving the cap, as well as the reservoir of the oil. and after the new tight fitting cap was secured. scientists did the past three days observe small bubbles around the well and that was widely publicly reported. it's away from the cap itself and bp reports that the pressure under the cap continues to rise, but more slowly and not as fast as scientists had anticipated. so, a leak somewhere either in the well or the sea floor has always been under suspicion here and that's why admiral thad allen said he reserves the right at any moment to end this test as you reopen the pipe and resume collecting the oil on board the containment ships on the surface, for now he has not pulled that trigger. the ultimate fix, the bot kill is closer and drilling approaching the problem well 18,000 feet below the surface and tonight, that deeper relief well is just 100 feet away from the interception point which could cement this well shut permanently, most likely in early or mid august, but the the environmental damage here, all around the gulf, will continue. >> we've got so much oil that's already out there in the gulf of mexico and we'll be fighting this battle for several months and we still don't know the environmental issues where it did impact. >> now, if admiral allen decides to stop the test and resume collecting the oil above on the ships, the drawback is for two or three days as they make that transition down there with the cap and the well head, it's going to let oil, once again, start seeping into the gulf, which is apparently no video of that, has been happening for the past three days, that's the drawback that the admiral is considering, however, further damage under the sea floor could make this problem even worse. >> not something we want to hear, thanks to for that report. if you'd like more information on the oil disaster in gulf, go to foxnews.com and find the latest headlines on efforts to clean up the oil, plus information on ways you can actually help. again, that's at foxnews.com. several deadly attacks in our war zone today. in iraq, a pair of explosions killing 48 people, dozens of the victims said to be members of the so-called sons of iraq, the group helping to fight al-qaeda militants. the first attack was near a military base south and west of baghdad as people lined up to collect paychecks and a second blast struck a western region near the syrian border targeting the same anti-al-qaeda group and in afghanistan, an explosion killing three civilians, injuring about two dozen others in kabul. officials say the bomber also died in that attack and it happened just days before a major international conference there and diplomates expecting to attend that meeting, including secretary of state, hillary clinton. more on this straight ahead. first to pakistan. the government there saying a suicide bomber, targeting a shiite mosque in the eastern part of the country. the attacker killing himself, wounding several worshippers, we're told the attack appeared to be the latest in a string by a sunni extremist. secretary clinton arrived in the capital city of islamabad hundreds of miles away from where today's attack happened. clinton underscoring the need for pakistan's cooperation with afghanistan and for that matter, the united states. the and the war intensifies at home. caroline shively has more from washington. >> juliet, secretary clinton is now in south asia, trying to convince partners to hold stead any afghanistan and the corruption and taliban activity. first up is pakistan where they stressed the need for cooperation from the ally and dedicating half a million dollars for water and energy projects. part of 7 1/2 billion dollars of the already spread out over five years and the trip comes as ahead of the talks on foreign relation and told news week that the u.s. needs to rethink afghanistan that we're not winning and it's not worth it and often suggesting a seve severe-- writes after nearly nine years of war increased u.s. involvement in afghanistan isn't likely to yield improvements that would be commensurate in any way in american blood and treasure. it's time to scale down our ambitions there and both reduce and redirect what we do. >> it's a direct conflict, going to take a long time, sometimes hard for the americans to swallow. the notion that we can afford effectively to pull out and causes risks and dangers for the united states down the road that are just almost impossible to quantitied phi. >> that message sounds like what secretary clinton will be talking about in kabul when she meets about the afghan fight. >> caroline shively in washington, thank you. . >> the white house making sure the message is clear. democrats will maintain their majorities in both chambers of congress in the mid term elections and vice-president joe biden speaking in no uncertain terms during one sunday morning talk show, listen. >> when people take a look at what has happened, since we've taken office in november and compared the alternative, we're going to be very-- we're going to be in great shape. we're going to win the house and we're going to win the senate not going to lose any one of those bodies. >> the vice-president's prediction follows a dust up between the obama administration and leading house democrats. most notably speaker nancy pelosi and that spot coming after the president's chief spokesman made this suggestion a week ago today. >> listen. >> i think there is no doubt there are a the lot of seats that will be up. a lot of contested seats. i think people are going to have a choice to make in the fall, but i think there's no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause republicans to gain control. there's no doubt about that. >> we're told those comments infuriated speaker pelosi, reports saying they prompted pelosi to call robert gibbs, quote. politically inept. as you can imagine, gibbs plea for republicans and the political calculus is not so easy to figure out. after all, polls show voters have frustrations with both parties. julie kirtz is live with more. >> vice-president biden made the prediction, the democrats will hang on to power in the house and senate in november and biden said senate majority lead are harry reid will win reelection. >> i bet anything, but i'll bet harry reid wins and you'll see that repeated. so, to paraphrase, mark twain, i think the reports of our demise are premature. >> well, some of those reports came from the white house itself. spokesman robert gibbs as you said last sunday saying republicans could take back the house, that prediction angered house leaders, but the polls confirmed democrats could be in trouble, approval numbers for president obama and congressional democrats have declined as the economy continues to struggle. and fox news sunday, leaders from both parties scared off about what they believe voters want in november. >> i really do believe what we're seeing here is an absence of leadership by this administration and as the elections approach this fall, the american people are looking for men and women who are committed to those timeless american principles. >> this is a tough climate, but we're tough campaigners and tough people and we're going to take our contrast and comparisons to the american people. >> and that includes the president the head of the democratic congressional campaign committee said today he wants and the president will campaign for house democrats in the coming months as the mid term political season heats up. >> julie kirtz live in washington, thank you, julie. developing now on the fox

were injured, and due to the extent of the their injuries, doctors believe some won't make it, the injuries were so bad we can't show you soon after the blast, what happened as people got to hospital.

the u.s. forces the last of the combat troops. and have to withdraw by the end of september. vice-president joe biden was saying earlier today that's going to change given the fact that we have an

retirement. lawmakers considering plans to raise the age for full social security benefits. that means you might have to work a lot longer if you might want a paycheck from the government. here is brenda buttner to break it down for us. brenda. >> your golden years may be more than tarnished. the word from a recent study that shows most americans are ignoring basic advice on saving for retirement. but it's the young ones among us, those under 40 who likely won't get a pension to help way for retirement to could face the work. most of them probably work for companies that offer 401(k)'s instead of traditional pensions, that puts you in charge of your income when you retire. the study shows about 25% of those surveyed have almost no savings for that time. plus, most of us don't have any idea how much we'll need. of course, there's social security, helping seniors in retirement now, but that entitlement could disappear when the young workers are old enough to get the pay off they've been paying into all their working lives. or, you may be older than the current retirement age to get social security. there's talk in congress of making americans wait until age 70 to get full social security benefits. likely doesn't have to worry about that if you're among those who in the next 10 or 20 years are expecting benefits. but for anyone born in the 1960's and after, get ready to wait longer because washington hasn't followed the budget rules that you and i face, it's spent much more than it has, especially recently. the independent congressional bean counters worn that in ten more years, our debt could balloon to nearly 90% of all we produce, far beyond anything a healthy economy could bear, but that congressional budget office also says that raising the retirement age, the one thing lawmakers may be able to agree upon in changing social security, will not be enough to save the system. perhaps a good reason many call it social insecurity. juliet. >>
