Because it was monday night that he confronted in the first time, he wasnt even speaking to the finance minister, they wrote down all together in terms of very real dialog. He had a meeting with him on monday night, listed five demands a range of issues from a bill which was really intended a jewish state bill, which has been heavily criticized both internationally and israel because it effectively makes palestinian citizens second class citizens, that bill was controversial, he wanted support on that, from la pead, and la pead did want that sort of bill, but not under the terms that the Prime Minister was suggested. Beyond that, there was zero rated vat for First Time Buyers of houses that the finance minister wanted to introduce.

Frances parliament overwhelmingly voted today to recognize palestine as a state, the decision is nonbinding but puts pressure on the government, the president has said he wants peace talks to talk with israel, before making a formal decision, sweden has officially recognized palestine as a state, while the u. K. , spain, and ireland all approves nonbinding resolutions. And the family of isils mysterious leader has been caught illegally crossing the libyan border. They were caught nearly ten days ago, using four syrian paneling ports. They are being held jut outside of beirut. Jane ferguson has more now from the capitol. Well, it was really the Lebanese Military that announced it. They said his wife had been picked one a nineyearold child, trying to move from syria across the border into lebanon. They said that she has been picked one that child ten days ago, and that they have been holding them for that length of time, to question them, but this could be significant, not so much in an intelligence way, it is unlikely this almost know anything about the whereabouts, but she could potentially be used in a potential prisoner swap. The government in lebanon have come under enormous pressure since those soldiers were taken in august, from across the border. The boarder with syria, and they have been under increasing pressure, this have even been protests in the capitol of the family members saying they are not doing enough to bring those soldiers home, this a potential there are hints coming from the military, that maybe these two individuals could be used as another prisoner swap with that issue. President obama is expected to nominate the next secretary of defense, soon today this was a lot of speculation that Ashton Carter who has a long history after the pentagon is a leading candidate. Tell us more about his history there. Well, you know, hes been a picture in the National Security world for years. His number two civilian at the pentagon, the Deputy Defense secretary, but he really kind of made his reputation as the pentagons chief weapons buyer he had two priorities Getting Better weapons to the troops he shepharded in a Ten Year Program to reduce the pentagons acquisition budget by 500 billion. So thats really what he is known for. But he also has weighed in on policy fronts as well. Back in 2006, when he was a harvard professor, he advocated a preemptive strike against north korea when they had the missle on the launch padgetting ready to test it, he said that he thought it was a good risk to take, to take that missle out, that was advice the Bush Administration didnt take, he has some policy chops and some acquisition chops and the other pretenders to this position seem to have fallen by the wayside. How difficult, how tough a confirmation fight would there be if he is the nominee. He looks very confirmable, dont forget he has been confirmed once already and he has his an mirierses in congress. The income chairman of the senator Arms Service Committee called him qualified and said that he was noncontroversial. But mccain is expected to focus a lot of the hearing on the Obama Administration policy, not so much on the personal performance of ashton. Mike, how did the president respond to the criticism of his actions in. Republicans are angry, they have been angry over the course of the last two weeks ever since president obama announced those actions allowing some 4 Million People in this country illegally, if they have children who are legal residents or u. S. Citizens to stay here at least on rah temporary basis and jay johnson was up on capitol hill today. The secretary of Homeland Security to face the music and the wrath of republicans they wanted to know how dare president obama, ask unilaterally, go around congress, and enacts that retomorrows to immigration temporary as they may be, what gives him the authority, johnson was asked time and time again, and here is how he answered. I am fully comfortable that we have the Legal Authority to push forward these reforms, in particular specifically with regard to deferred action, that is an authority that president s have used for decades. Defers action is an inherent executive branch authority, that can and should be used from time to time. And we have done so here. Deferred action, in other words putting out the deportation, or process toe deport those in this country illegally, again, a three year program that the president has announced, really the question is here is what will republicans to about it, what can republicans do about it so what are they saying. First of all, the senate is still in domic control and republicans realize that they cant really move inning in the nest. They are going to put on what amounts to a show boat with both house and senator under republican control, try to figure out this sort of power of the purse mechanism in the meantime, the speaker of the house, faced reality today when he talked to reporters. We aring looing at a number of options in terms of how to address this. This is a serious breech of our constitution. It is a serious threat to our system of government. And trafficly, we have limited options and limited abilities to deal with it directly. Conservatives are upset, some are still talking about shutting down the government. The Republican Leaders in congress dont want to see that happen. They are trying to bring these two different healths of the party back together, to get them into the spring, and then kick the can down the row. Lawyers for a texas detrain mate, are making last minute appeals to stop his execution which is schedules for tomorrow night scotts attorneys says he suffers from Mental Illness, and putting him to death would cross moral and ethical lines. Heidi what are the arguments are the attorneys making in their appeal to the u. S. Supreme court here. Hey, tony, the attorneys say that his execution would be in violation of the 8th amendment, which prohibited cruel and unusual punishment. They say that amendment protects him because he is severely mentally ill. Now this is a man who for the last 36 years has struggled with paranoid schizophrenia. He was hospitalized 15 times prior to shooting and killing his wifes parents in 1992. Now his attorneys say he dave this while living out of a dill lewis that he was getting rid of the devil. So this evidence, including his mental history, was never presented to the jury. Inch stead he dressed as a cowboy, in a costume, he tried to subpoena god, jesus, and j. F. Tk. , and he told the jury that it was an alter ego named sampling who had committed the crimes. He has been on texas death row to close to 20 years. His Attorney Says he has not received mental health. He says he does not understand that this punishment would be for the crime that he has committed. If scott is executed on wednesday, we h be taking a step that in the this country, is virtually unprecedented. There is no one else on texas death row, who has scotts history of severe Mental Illness, who is permitted to represent himself at trial. And what this would say about the american justice system, is that we have crossed a moral line. Now the legal question currently before the Supreme Court, boils down to does he have both a factual, and a rational understanding of the punishment . In order, does he get the cause and effect relationship, that because of the killings he performed. His attorneys say he is too ill to have that understanding but the state of texas which plans to leithly inject him tomorrow, says otherwise. So heidi, what kinds of other reactions are you hearing to this appeal from others in the state. Well, the argument can be summed up that they say that he is faking his illness. And as evidence of that, they suck mitted to the Supreme Court audio recordings recorded recently, talking to his relatives during prison visits in the which the state attorney say he was both lucid and intelligent. On the other side theres been a grand swell of support, that said today his execution would constitute a violation of international law. Who have asked for this execution to be halted, and perhaps most notably, tony, is his own exwife who was present when her parents were killed she says that he was ill at the time of the crime, and remains ill today. All right, huntsville texas, appreciate it. The american couple that was stuck in qatar after the death of daughter. They will return to the u. S. Tomorrow. A court on sunday overturned the ruling that they starved their adopted daughter to death. Top executives from all four major u. S. Sports leagued testified before Congress Today answering questions about how they deal with Domestic Violence. It has been a heated issue, since video shows nfl running back ray rice hitting his future wife in an elevator. Ply cabbing eaves is here with more. Michael. Never good to get called to the principals office. No. Domestic violence is probably the biggest topic in sports this year. With multiple athletes being charged with assaulting their wifes or girlfriends. It was immediately obvious today that the Senate Commerce committee to take Domestic Violence incidents more seriously than they have in the past. The nfls initial response was competely inadequate, two game suspension, was a pal trisentence for such violent behavior. At worse by waiting to suspend mr. Rice only after the elevator video was made public. The nfl sent a mixed message to millions of fans in the general public, about how it handles such acts of violence. Well, today is not the first time the Senate Committee has taken up sports topics which leads some to question arent there more important things they should be addressing. Professional sports with very few exceptions have done little to hold those who commit this crime accountability. And perpetrators know, that if they can only get their victim to recant, refuse to cooperate, threaten their financial future, threaten the future of their gamelies financial status. Orb put them on an airplane to venezuela, if they can accomplish those things then nothing will happen ire might add, the Senate Hearing is on going right now, and the chairman of that Senate CommerceCommittee John rockefeller from West Virginia, tony, he made it clear also when he started that he was disappointed none of the commissioners from the Sports League attended todays hearing. They all side they have prior obligations. At least the time he served on suspension should be lifted. One of the guys to testify, he is at the Senate Hearing so he cant testify today in new york, all these things are intire twined between the players association, and the league office. It is getting mercury and ugly. All right, michael, appreciate it, thank you. Drought stricken california is getting much needed rain, but it may be too much too quickly. Jennifer lon door is live for us. And welt, it is a welcome site to see rain, when are you expecting the worst of the storm . Good afternoon, tony, from a very rare sight in california a rainy day, we have seen steady rainfall throughout the morning around the entire Greater Los Angeles area. The heaviest rainfall is expected to hit this afternoon into the etching as you mentioned it is creating concerns too much too quickly, and while you think some may see up to eight inches of rainfall you think isnt that good thing, when the sate is in the midst of and worst drought on record, as you mentioned too much too soon, create as huge concern for residents in the city of glen dora, which is about 30 miles east of los angeles. In january they were hit with a massive wild fire that burned about 2,000 acres. Which makes it very vulnerable to collapsing under the weight of so much rainfalling so quickly. To that enter, about 18,000 bags have been distributed so far. Speaking with one homeowner who says she is preparing for the worst. I am worried that when the heavy raining come, that all of the mud is going to just go all the way to my back wall. And i wont have any yard but gravel the city is also worrying about heavy debris flows and they have been staling heavy equipment, you can also see they put up some of these concrete barriers that is to stop any mud flows from slamming into the home, they are keeping the sandbag Distribution Center open, and making more sandbags available to residents. As i mentioned right now, voluntary evacuations but the city does reserve the right to make those mandatory if the conditions get worse. Boy, talk about a mixed bag. President obama is focusing this afternoon on the fight against ebola here in the United States. And over seas at this hour, the president is visiting the National Institutes of health near washington. He plans to congratulate researchers for their work on ebola vaccine.

A fight against a new minimum wage in chicago, workers in other parts of the state protesting to get a raise too. And protests leaders in hong kong are urging students to end their sit ins, why they say they are afraid of the police. But the minimum wage remains the same in the rest of illinois. Two question is this legal . Apparently, you know how president obama acted on immigration retomorrow on his own, because he said he was tiring of waiting on congress to act, and how some have questions will thats legal. Well, today, the mayor in chicago passed the ordinance which raising chick gos city minimum wage, and he did so because he said he was tired of waiting on state lawmakers at the State Capitol to act. And he says he is on solid legal ground to do it, by invoking what is called the home rule thats the right of a city to govern itself. Which has a lower wage minimum wage, and a cost of living. Now, todays ordinance raises the minimum wage from the current 8. 25 an hour, to 10 an hour, and then increments up from there. And the mayor specifically pushes this ordinance today, because this been talk at the State Capitol that lawmakers mite try to pass their own law which would ban emanuel from forbid him from acting on his own. Now as far as the minimum wage himself, opponents obviously say that it would be bad for business, but supporters say they shouldnt worry. The costs go up and you have to do one of two things raise prizes or reduce hours to compensate for that increase. It gives people at the bottom of the economic scale ever many money in the pocket. Inform you put money in the bottom of the scale, they consume, because they need it. So what does is help small businesses. Theres another rink until this, the fact that the mayor is running for reelection. So his detractors say he is just trying to get the vote of men mum wage voters. Voters who want to raise the minimum wage up to 15 an hour, so he is getting it from both sides. All right, andy live for us, thank you.
