caused so much hardship and death. he has violently been eliminated. he died the good dog. he died like a coward. the world is now a much safer place. eric: fox news team coverage carrying all the angles on the developing story. trey is live in jerusalem how is plane overseas, kevin has the latest from the white house let s start with national security correspondent jennifer griffin live in washington. you are still going strong. reporter: eight u.s. helicopters were used in the raid and launched from a brace in northern iraq and took heavy fire to the target in northwest syria. defense secretary mark esper said the goal was to capture the isis leader alive but after u.s. special operations blew their
pg&e is still being attacked for not being more nimble and targeted with their outages. these are difficult calls and professionals need to make them but a society as industrious and innovative as ours should not have to face a choice between public safety and public blackouts. reporter: the destructive fire in los angeles county is now 65% contained, there is a massive effort to fight this fire in northern california with 3000 people. we have seen a big air tanker, four of them popping water on the fire and this is the third year in a row in northern california with a major wildfire. the good news, no loss of life. arthel: thank you. eric: now the isis leader al-baghdadi is no more, what does the future hold for u.s. military operation in the middle east. michael florida, the first
