Things, the president secretary of defense and chairman of the joint chief of staff, appearing before the committee and testifying before lawmakers. Although the Intelligence Community has detected specific plotting against the homeland, isis has Global Operations and they have threatened america and our allies. If left uncheck, isis directly threatens the homeland and the allies. Mike emanual is live on capital hill. It has been going on since 9 30 this morning. What is the headline so far . There has been a lot of focus about whether the obamas plan of no u. S. Ground troops on the ground is realistic. Lets look at the hearing featuring the secretary of defense and the chairman of joint chiefs. Secretary hagel says if left unchecked, isis directly threatens the homeland and iraq. There are 1600 people over there supporting the kurds and the iraqis. My view at this point is that this coalition is the appropriate way forward. I believe that will prove true. But if it fails to be true and there are threats to the United States then, i of course, would go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of u. S. Military ground forces. Reporter some republican lawmakers are saying the president s plan do beat isis isnt enough to get victory. Some are noting the combat in air are in danger and that should not be minimized. Pilots are facing a threat having to eject over the area. The Obama Administration shouldnt tie out and the air controllers and special operators on the ground. Reporter general dempsy says if he believes they are needed for a specific component he is open to recommending it but the question is will the commander and chief accept it. If the iraqis need help taking the mosul dam then the United States might need to help meanwhile we are getting details on the new airstrikes hitting near baghdad and taking out six military vehicles and a post. They are preparing to launch their first attacks in syria as well. John hudy is live with a look at that. Reporter jon, as mike was talking about the airstrikes, there were a couple yesterday and then on sunday. We dont have a timeline about the strikes in syria but that is part of the enhanced air campaign against isis. The strikes were the first sal in that enhanced campaign. Lets talk about what is going on. United states Central Command said the United States hit isis positions southwest of baghdad and near sinjar which is 40 miles west of mosul and just 12 miles from the Syrian Border and mosul is a main battle front because iraqs largest hydroelectricic dam is there. This is a heavy battle area. The airstrikes were in support of iraqi forces on the ground. The u. S. Has carried out 162 strikes in iraq but there havent been in any syria. There is no definitive timeline on that yet. But as secretary hagel talked about in the hearing he said the United States quote will target all isis positions. Thank you, john. The president is set to announce a plan to combat the ebola outbreak. He is visiting the center for disease prevention in atlanta later. The president is set to send people to africa where 2200 people have died. This is about an expanded presence in africa to try to deal with this. Officials are focused on containing and controlling the disease that has spread rapidly. 3,000 additional troops and build a staging base and 17 Treatment Centers and train 500 workers per week to deal with the problem and distribute hundreds of thousands of Home Health Care kits. John boehner addressed this saying he expects further action. I am a bit surprised the administration hasnt acted more quickly to address what is a serious threat, not just to africans, but to others around the world. And i think in the coming weeks you will see the congress and the administration take further steps to look at how do we best contain this horrible disease. Reporter and the house is debating and will soon vote on a bill to fund the government. A source told us there is going to be 88 million given but the speaker is saying perhaps more needs to be done. They dont think it is coming to the United States right now because the disease isnt air borne and u. S. Customs and Border Patrol officials are looking out for symptoms from people coming into the country. That is a daunting task and that is why officials are trying to take the fight to africa to address it and keep it from spreading there. That is a lot of faith we have to put in our u. S. Officials to keep an eye out for that. Brand new numbers on obamacare now with the administration staying 150,000 people next month might lose their coverage because they havent proved they were legal citizens or eligible to sign up. 380,000 people could lose their Financial Aid because they could not prove their income. Alison is here, writing for the Washington Free beacon. The numbers were modest i read. A 2 drop in the number of uninsured americans. Right. That is mod est. It is limited in terms of the data we have. And a lot of people say that would likely increase and be better if they had more data for it because the information they used to come up with that drop didnt include a lot of the major surge in enrollment we saw toward the end of the Affordable Care act Enrollment Period where most signed up. So some say the number might be higher but the thing to remember when looking at information like this is going to take a couple years to see how the affects of the law is panning out. This is just a small time period of data we are considering here. Those people that have signed up but could lose their plans because they cannot verify their income or they are here legally, that is a big chunk of folks loosing what they thought they might have. It ends up being around 10 of the people. They started realizing this in may and they started reaching out saying we have problems and dont have this documentation that proves your income or that you a legal resident and eligible for the Affordable Care act. So back in may people starting proving their residency, they had about 900,000 more that needed to show information. They sent out notices and got the number down in august to about 300,000 and now they say it is at 115,000 people. If you dont prove you are a legal resident you are not eligible for the Affordable Care act so their plans could end by september 30th if they dont get in the dockmeuments and people that received subsidies may have to pay it back . That comes with the income. They were not able to verify income. Same thing where they contacted in may and they got the numbers done. If they cannot prove your income by september 30th you may not be eligible for subsidies or you may have to pay them back. You have advocates in both groups, income and residency, is saying you dont have this because of logistical reasons. They say they submitted them but they are getting kicked back so they think it is harsh. And the income verifying they use Tax Information to verify. And you may have changed and job and it doesnt match up. Is this good news or bad news for obamacare . A lot of people covered but some are loosing it. It is always hard to tell. If this is a case where people are loosing insurance because they are not eligible i think that is a good thing because you dont want fraud. But if the people were just not able to get their documents in to prove they were residents then that is not good and goes back to the issue of the technical problems. A lot of people are eligible but dont want to sign up but that is another issue. Thank you cofor coming in. What Police Released about a missing College Student. And an entire town in the line of fire. Dozens of families racing to get out of the way as the flames inch closer to their homes. We go live to the wild firefighter fight. We are getting new information on stories we are keeping an eye on. Police releasing new photos for the university of virginia students Hannah Graham in her apartment room. She was last heard from Early Saturday Morning who she sent a text to a friend. The colorado movie trial is one step closer to starting. There is just one other hearing before jury selection begins and that involves cameras in the classroom. And the glasses that jodi arias war during the trial are on sale for 500. Not sure who would want it. The fire is right there. Anything can happen. A series of wild fires raging across california with the flames destroying dozens and dozens of homes and sparking evacuations. One entire town is under seize now. Reporter considering the west hasnt had significant rain for six months and we are in a threeyear drought this has been a quite season unless you are near the oregon california border. Windy conditions fueling a dozen wild fires including one in weed, california where flames virtu virtually wiped the town off the map. A mass exit as 2,000 people fred for their lives and hundreds of homes destroyed by flame including mill, the towns largest employer. Five hours south and east of sacramento the king fire is throwing and falling to 5 contained. 90 degree heat and the wind is burning the grass like newspaper and adding timber and that is what they are facing in the fire near portland. Bulldoze bulldozers and helio castroneves up against helicopters out there. It is scary. It is growing fast. It is one of the bigger ones i have heard of. Reporter three million acres have burned year to date in the United States and that is the lowest in a decade and below the average. The highest risk right now is in Southern California we have recordhigh temperatures. I know they will be able to use the rain in the north part of the state. The search is intensifying for a gunman who shot two Police Officers at a gun barrack in pennsylvania. One of the officers died. The police are releasing new information. And airstrikes over syria and iraqs capital and top lawmakers weigh in on the president s strategy. Right now, officials are intensifying the search for the man who shot to two state troopers at their barracks in pennsylvania. They released a profile saying the suspect had a grudge against the police department. The motive is unknown but he made it clear with friends and online. They believe he might have been an avid hunter, and visited a range regularly to keep his skills sharp. They are vowing to track him down. I want you to know our troopers are working around the clock to bring justice. The act you committed may have been an attempt to intimidating us but it is not. We will find you and we will seek justice when we do. That suspect who is unidentified killed one trooper and critically injured another before slipping away last friday. The nations top military leaders are weighing in on the president s isis strategy. The Senate Armed Committee is a couple hours into a hearing. For the first time strikes are being carried out near baghdad and chuck hagel says the fight against isis will go into syria. Because isis operations freely across the Syrian Border our actions are not restrained by a border in name only. As the president said, you have threaten america you will find no save haven. Bob scales is here. What is your reaction to this . The u. S. Poised to get ready to go into syria. Amazing testimony. If you put it in plain english here is what they said we are going to bomb syria, we are going to arm the Free Syrian Army. I recommended to the president that if he left americans in iraq we would not be in this mess. And then he said if the advise and assist mention fails, this is dempsy, i am going to ask the president to send in american ground troops. The advise and assist mission will fail. He was referring to iraq there. We can play that sound byte so folks hear what he said. Lets listen. I do think that the approach to the build a coalition and enable it leads me to leverage our unique capabilities and that is the ability to train and provide intelligence and air power. As i said in my statement, however, my view at this point is this coalition is the appropriate way forward. I believe that will prove true. But if it fails to be true and there are threats to the United States then i would go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of u. S. Military ground forces. Are we getting the first indication we are in for a lot more than any of us bargained for . Absolutely. This is Mission Creep at its best. Every military advisor i know will tell you the advise and assist mission isnt going to roll back isis and the strikes with pin pricks with four a day. And isis growing some say at a rate of 400 a week. If this organization continues to threaten the region and if they strike at the west in some way i think the president will literally have no other option but to follow general dempsys advise and start conducting targeted, specific direct action by special operating forces against the isis leadership. The wall street journal reporting and it sounds like we are in a pickle and that is some of the sunni governments, jordan for example, dont want to get into the mix because they see it as strengthening the shiite. I think the strategy is straightforward, heather. This isnt about nation building or thumping isis. This is about protecting the interest of the United States and western europe. So as marty dempsy said when this threat begins to grow to the point where it is a threat beyond the region than the western powers, the United States and western europe, have no choice but to take them on directly because so far at least the iraq army cant do it and the Free Syrian Army cant do it as they said at the end of the day it is going to be up to us. Did you believe the president will listen to the military leaders on this . He hasnt so far. If you listen to the advise he has been given by the military for the last two a half years they talked about having a heavier hand, not only against isis, but to reinforce the region and that hasnt happened. When you lose the dogs of war no one can anticipate the outcome. The direction in the future is toward a greater american commitment. General bob scales it takes a lot to surprise you and you looked surprised after listening to this. New details on the child abuse charges against Minnesota Vikings one running back with the new story breaking about more abuse. And a trial for a doctor accused of poisoning her lover gets underway. This is about a woman who had an attraction which wound up with a rejection and it led to her absolute obsession with dr. Blumenthal. Still to come in this hour of happening now. The strange case of a cancer doctor accused of poisoning her lover. Her trial is underway and our legal panel weighs in. And reporter the boy was left with visible injuries and a series of Text Messages between peterson and his mother were gotten by a tv station and she said what happened to his head and he said she he got a whooping in the car. His lawyer says this isnt a new allegation. It was shopped around two years ago and nothing came of it. And prior to this incident, peterson apologized with the talk of abusing another child with a tree switch. He said i am not a child abuser. The teams general manager said he feels the Legal Process should be allowed to play out. Ray rice who is suspended indefinitely and expected to file an appeal to that suspension and has until 11 59 tonight to do it. More trouble for the nfl. Now to the case that heather told you about a minute ago. A texas doctor accused of poisoning her lover. She arrived in court for the start of the trial yesterday. She is accused of lacing her lovers coffee with a deadly chemical because she was jealous of his relationship with his longterm girlfriend. Doug burns and lisa wheel is here. First of all, does the prosecution have to prove the motive here . No, but in this case they have it. A woman who is scorned in this love triangle and this guy was with his lover for a long time. Try tried to have children and it didnt work. This woman was so attached to him when it came to loosing him she decided she would rather kill him. She is a chemist also. He was with another doctor. They tried to have kids. She was pregnant and lost the kids. She went on to another job. And then the doctor arrives on the scene and they strike up a close friendship and now the doctor winds up being poisoned and the question is how. I prosecuted a love triangle 20 years ago where someone mailed a pipe bomb through the mail to kill the guy. No one was hurt. It is fine to say she did this and that but this is a classic example of probably cause and beyond a reasonable doubt. It does seem she did this but can they prove it. He likes black coffee and didnt like anything and she put saccharin in the coffee and made him drink two cups. Because the Ethylene Glycol is a component in antefreeze and it taste sweet. Dont try this. We had other cases with this type of poisoning. Here is a couple defense points from what i saw. There is a video, number one, according to the defense lawyer of her trying to help him in the emergency room. Because she feels bad. Point two is the blood and urine doesnt come up with anything. Those test can be redone. There are tapes out there that havent been allowed into evidence but if she testifies they will come out. And they were darning tapes saying she takes care of things in a certain way. Supposedly there is a tape, and this is interesting because i have seen this play out, this can backfire on prosecutors, there is a tape saying she has killed people in the past and i could stand up and say why are they showing this instead of proving this case. It would just say she has done this before. The judge didnt allow it. If she were to take the witness stand it might come in. It is hard not to take the stand because she has to testify i love this guy and i would never do that. But if he gets up there and testifies i like black coffee. She gave me this coffee that tasted sweet, i didnt like it, and then she pushed it on me. He said this is sweet and he drinks the black and she encouraged him to keep drinking.

There is a shocking new report showing that millions of our children are being prescribed antibiotics they dont actually need. According to researchers they are being prescribed twice as often as they should be. They say the problem is doctors have no way of telling the difference between a bacterial or a virus so they prescribe them. But antibiotics only help with bacterial infections. We have known this for a while. It can create dangerous drug drugresi drugresi drugresistant traistrains. So why are they over prescribi g prescribing . A few reasons. We can do a strep test but for many other things doctors have to use their best clinical judgment and do an examine and follow guidelines depending on how old to child is and how sick they look. Reporter and the parents push it saying give us antibiotics and that will cure it because you want to do something. You do. And kids get sick a lot especially during the winter and parents are looking for that quick fix because you want your child to feel better. So educating parents is important and i explain we dont want to use antibiotics if it is just a viral infection. They will get better on their own. Treat their symptoms, have them rest, stuffy nose requires a humidifier. You can often not tell if it is a cold or flu and if you dont treat it properly it can get a lot worse. That is true. I like to say there are certain signs to watch for. A coldcough, runny nose and fever. But if they are not looking well, not drinking fluid and after 34 days the symptoms are worse. Or if you have a baby under three months with a fever take the child in. Why are there not better test to determine viral or bacterial . It seems simple. It does. With a throat you can swab it. But with breathing issues we will not test the fluid most likely. We will just watch them and tell the parents to watch them. And there is a long term risk of overprescribing the antibiotics. What is that . The bacteria are changing and becoming resistant and we are ending up with super bugs that can be serious and we dont have the antibiotics anymore to treat them. Doctor thank you going to take you to the Armed Services committee hearing. There is the chairman of the joint chief of staff. He has been taking heated questio questions esspeci questions specially from lindayy grah graham. I dont think we will do anything but push the further to the right. If we dont get the coalition i am describing we are into a narrow ct framework in my view. If i may follow this point our National Defense in terms of stopping isil from killing thousands or millions of americans if they get the capability really comes down to whether we can convince the arab world to go in there and defeat these guys . It really comes down to building a coalition so that what the arabmuslim world sees is them rejecting isis. They already reject isil. Do you know of any ally that embraces them .
