the deck. first this afternoon, new military action in iraq. it's possible, if not probable. a humanitarian crisis happening in northern iraq, and humanitarian catastrophe is upon us according to the white house. so president obama is considering ing air strikes, according to the reporting of "the new york times" and "the wall street journal" and others, but the white house would not confirmed it to. the target here islamic state fighters who are terrorizing christians and other minorities. this group is called isis, establishing a caliphate. now they have taken american-made humvees and weapons that iraqi troops abandoned and marching through towns and villages in the kurdish region, demanding residents convert to islam or be killed. hundreds of men have been slaughtered. women and children sold as slaves or into the sex trade. tend of thousands of people could be dead in days unless someone steps in to save them there are two areas of immediate concern. first, the united nations groups reports as many as 40,000 religious minorities are stranded on a mountain top with no food and no water. state militants surround the base of the mountain and will not let them leave. so with temperatures reaching 100 degrees daily. they're dying of heat and thirst. because according to local legend the mountain is sacred because it's the final resting place of noah's ark. so there the religious minority sets 4 , thousand trapped. they tell us as children die they're being buried under rocks. all 40,000 will die without immediate help. there's a second crisis point as well. in the northern iraq city if irbil. the residents, christians and other religious minorities, have need with belongings. many thousands have arrived in irbil over the past day and have no place to stay, sleeping in parking lots and construction site. it's night now. nothing there tomorrow, and islamist state fighters threatening to kill or sell the ones left behind. where is thearchy iraqi army? nowhere to be found. the persecuted are asking for help. what do we do? "the new york times" and the warm "wall street journal" report air strikes are one in a range of options the president is weighing. a senior defense official tells fox news the u.s. has been working with the iraqi government to coordinate air drops of food and supplies and the pentagon has reviewed possible military options. let's look on the wall. isis, or the islamic state, they're now calling themselves, has taken over this huge portion of syria and iraq, all of that in the red up there. slaughtering anybody standing in their way. the militants, two days ago, seize iraq's largest dam after a week of trying. that has created widespread panic. you see, the dam gives isis enormous control over the country's infrastructure. they could cut off the power or the water to everybody or they could flood much of the area, including mosul. if that dam goes, a pentagon report indicates that a 65-foot wave of water would drown anything and everybody in parts of the kurdish north, including one and a half million people in mosul. flooded with six stories high of water. so big picture now. the reality is stark and horrifying. terrorists are on the move. town to town. they're on american vehicles, with american weapons and american guns, overpowering the local authority, and murdering innocents while selling others as slaves, and unless somebody somewhere intervenes, immediately, tens of thousands of people will most certainly die within days. we have extensive coverage head. let begin with ed henry at the white house. i don't know where you begin. what are the president's options here? anyone being straight with you there? >> well, shep, they're being very careful not to show their hand but there's really two major options we're told. one would be, as you mentioned, u.s. air strikes. the cuckoo -- could be sending in human tarean relief and there's a third option which is both. officials say you can't provide humanitarian relief when isis is out there trying to kill people. you can't just get humanitarian relief in, have u.s. planes hovering over, dropping this relief, without an expectation they're going to get hit. so you anyway immediate to do a little both. u.s. air strikes that open up a safe corridor to get this humanitarian relief. interesting, josh earnest, when we pressed him, said, there's no u.s. military solution here, in part because of the searing experience of the iraq war. they don't want to get locked in another war in iraq but says if there's american core interests at stake here, the president might move forward with military action. i pressed him on that point. listen. >> when asked about america's core interests you were saying we decide these on a case to case basis. i think you -- >> i think you were asking about specific -- humanitarian situations, and that we evaluate case-by-case what implications those humanitarian situations have on core american national security interests. >> the administration saying they're deciding on a case-by-case basis about whether to get involved in a potential humanitarian catastrophe. great pressure on the white house to intervene right now because, as you lay it out, this could be a genocide. >> the situation is as it is because of the fact that the iraqis have not yet established a government. secretary of state kerry is working to help with this sort of situation, it's my understanding, and nouri al-maliki has been an unmitigated disaster. >> yes. and josh earn most made that point several times. a fair point for the administration to make. how did we get to this point? the fact that nouri al-maliki has not had an inclusive government, and his power has been weakened, and led to this vacuum that isis has filled. the problem for the administration is their critics are noting, that is how we got here. now will there be american leadership to help the iraqis get out? listen to retired colonel ralph peterson. >> they've been burning churches, burning ancient manuscripts, got a minority, 40,000 people, perhaps more, surrounded in barren mountains where they're starving to death and president obama is not interested. if john kerry wants to crisis, this is the crisis. >> there have been protests at the white house throughout the early afternoon. you can see these folks, iraqis and also we talked to one former american soldier who served in iraq who told us, there was so much sacrifice, we know that war has essentially come to an end. the u.s. forces have been pulled out. but he said people are about to be slaughtered, somebody already being slaughtered. he was pressing for u.s. action there may be u.n. action as well, now been an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council called for 3:30'm. >> i want to bring in john busse, the editor at the "wall street journal" warm. i guess this has been building but who is to think we can end up in a position where there are tens of thousands of people on a mountain where they think noah's ark was, thinking they'll be safe. no food and water. a lady from the mountain has gone down to the government and made a plea in the kurdish north. listen to this. >> translator: we call on anyone that can help us because our families are dying. we do not know their fate. old people and children are without food and they are scared to death. and the islamic state is slaughtering them. >> we heard there was another sound bite from a woman who is in a government come-together, they're like we got to put aside our religious differences and save these. 40,000 people could be dead and if they collapse that dam, millions. >> julia barnes, our pentagon reporting, is reporting the air drops of humanitarian aid could start tonight. thursday, in iraq, to begin to address that. the question is, what would the limited and the administration's limited air strikes be targeted at? would it be to clear a path for humanitarian aid or some other part of the battlefield which is across most of iraq. >> the problem -- one problem is the iraqi military milted away and when it did, it left the weapons we left them behind. the isis militants now have that. and the concern must be that if we get involved militarily, and isis is able to do something to us militarily, we have a new game. >> that's right. they are enormously empowered. they have the vehicles, the weapons, the cash, that has been left behind. >> hundreds of billions of dollars. >> as a result. that's going to empower them for quite some time. i think one thing to watch is what our reporter has reported on, which is that separate from discussion of air strikes, there's conversations going on between some of the provincial governors, who are sunnies, saying we here, civilians and the tribes, are interested in u.s. assistance in fighting the militant sunnies, just as they did during the anbar awakenings in 2008 and 2009. the question is whether the u.s. can provide enough assistance to the governors. whether or not the u.s. is inclined to provide that assistance, whether they think it would be effective, and whether or not the tribes would be willing to associate themselves with a civilian -- a government-backed military force, even if al-maliki is still in power, they all argue he has to go before anything happens on the ground. >> this is sunni verse shia, which has dividing lines that separate all parts of the region and puts us on one side of a much broader fight. that's not where we want to be. >> a very complicated one. they're a mixed religion of preislamic faiths, built of islam, a bit of christianity in there, it's a declining faith but it's found in this part of iraq, it's found in armenia, syria. and it's a minority. just as christians are a minority, and that's what the islamic state is very keen on wiping out. they do not want religious minorities, in their minds, in the way. >> because anyone who is a religious minority has gob against the wildfires allah, and anybody who has must be killed. that's their rationale. >> that's correct. and for the united states, watching what now happens in these provinces, where some of the governors are stepping up and saying the current government in baghdad is unable to address this problem. we are willing to organize forces here as we did in 2008 and 2009 to fight the militant part of the sunni sect. >> ed henry, 2002 statement from the pentagon on this dam that gives us clarity on what would happen if they knock it down, and i'm sure, one of the things being calculated now is, if the united states gets involved, and if isis starts to feel like it's about to be overrun, to what length would isis go? would isis knock that d down and kill millions of people? >> look, it seems like the door is open for them to do anything. this is a ruthless group of people. josh earnest said that isis is cold and calculating, they're killing people. this is outrageous. it has to stop. what is fascinating to watch this play out and how quickly it's going and how tragic it is, it's the white house itself making the case for why isis needs to be stopped. but given the searing experience of the war in iraq, this president seems to be very cautious in terms of, are we going to get deeply involved in iraq again? josh earnest, after laying out the case for action, went on to say, there's no u.s. military solution to this. the iraqis have to work this out. they have to form a new government. shep you know better than anyone. is might take the iraqis months or years to work out a new government in the meantime you have 40,000 people on a mountain that might be slaughtered. that's cold comfort for them. and i'm not saying the u.s. has a magic below let here but if we wait for the iraqi government to be formed and be fair, that could cake years. >> this was without question the safest, most secure region, the most peaceful region. the kurds and they had skin in the game and won. >> and retreated. >> until, until isis had the weapons which came from america, and you wonder if that's not going to come back to bite us as well. >> that's right. they retreated and that exposed this region to isis moving in. mine you, it's not just the white house that is cautious about putting boots on the ground. that was stated today. no boots on the ground. it's the american public that is not in favor of doing that. they look back on the last 10-12 years of war in iraq and afghanistan and say what has been accomplished? there are concerns that more u.s. sacrifice in that region will be equally unproductive. >> catastrophe in iraq. the potential that putin is going to invade ukraine, and hamas saying, there's no deal yet, we may restart this war. three different fronts. and what is america to do? honey, look i got one to land. uh-huh (announcer) there's good more... honey, look at all these smart rewards points verizon just gave me. ooh, you got a buddy. i'm like a statue. i just signed up and, boom, all these points. ...and there's not-so-good more. you're a big guy... huh. oh no. get the good more with verizon smart rewards and rack up points to use towards the things you really want. now get 50% off all new smartphones. your studied day and night for her driver's test. secretly inside, you hoped she wouldn't pass. the thought of your baby girl driving around all by herself was... you just weren't ready. but she did pass.

"the wall street journal" and "new york times" reporting drop air strikes and dropping supplies to religious minorities trapped in iraq. they're rung from the islamic state, what we used to call isis, which is threatening to murder all of them. the u.n. security council set to hold a meeting two hours from now. david lee miller is at the united nations. what can we expect from this meeting? >> bottom line, not a great deal. interestingly, this meeting has been called for by the french. the french foreign minister called the meeting of the security council. the french seem to have beat the ute to the punch here. we will not see any type of resolution coming out of the u.n. security council. what might result is a strongly worded statement condemning isis. the u.n. has a mission in iraq but they really do not have the infrastructure in place to offer any meaningful help to the thousands and thousands of people now trapped on the mountain. >> the ten0s thousands of people have been forced from their horses and in urgent need of life-saving assistance. while the situation remains fluid and numbers cannot be independently verified, thousands of families, many of them women, children, and the elderly, now cropped -- trapped on the mountain. >> we expect the meeting to get underway in a little over two hours time. for now there are tens of thousands of people dying of thirst and hunger, and it's 10:00 at night on this mountain and they're in desperate need of help. >> we apologize for the audio problems for his broadcast. breaking news in another hot. so our coverage of iraq will continue but a hamas spokesperson is now making new threats and new demands. we thought the israel and hamas conflict is over, hamas says we were flat wrong. we'll go live to rick leventhal next. we come into the world hungry. and never quite get over it. seven billion hungry people who never stop eating. what's a world to do? well, we grow a lot of food. we also waste a lot of food. about a third of everything we grow. we thought we could improve on the math. so, we put our scientists to work on the problem. they're good at math. not to mention biology, physics and chemistry. and they came up with ingenious ways to keep the food we grow fresher, longer. using innovative packaging. there are still a lot of hungry people in the world. but we have a lot of scientists. this is the human element at work. dow. then you don't know "aarp".e trip when you think aarp, get inspired with aarp travel. plan and book your trip online and get hot travel tips from the pros. find more real possibilities at aarp.org/possibilities. noyou can watch live tv anytime. it's never been easier, with so many networks all in one place. get live tv whenever you want. the xfinity tv go app. now with live tv on the go. enjoy over wifi or on verizon wireless 4g lte. plus, now you get up to a $100 prepaid card when you purchase any new verizon wireless smartphone or tablet from comcast. visit comcast.com/wireless to learn more a fox urgent. the war between israel and hamas is not over. munches ago a spokesman for hamas said they're prepared to resume fighting. there will be no cease fire extension unless hamas demands are met. that is in the the last few minutes. here's the demand. israel must lift the blockade and open a port for gaza. you know, the gaza has a number of different access routes into israel. all those are closed. the one out of egypt is closed. and the water space in the mediterranean is closed to fishing. that's how they get food and make money. so they want that open and the border crossings re-opened. good luck getting. that from israel. the chances are slim. the direct threat from hamas is, quote, our fingers are on the trigger and our rockets are trained at tel aviv. look at the big wall again. here is where this is going down and israeli official says hamas must give up all its weapons before israel gives into any demands. this comes ass peace talks do continue in egypt. the two sides are not meeting face-to-face. egyptian officials are going back and forth between the two groups and rick leventhal is live in the gaza. the hope this cease fire would extend for a long time. now sounds like hamas is thinking otherwise. >> well, it does. it still could extend. the cease fire is scheduled to end less than ten hours from now. israel is willing to extend the deadline on that without conditions because it's hoping to -- come up with a long-term peace agreement, but hamas on television tonight made a very tough statement. a man who was masked told the audience that hamas is ready to resume the fight unless israel agrees to lift the blockade and build the fort near gaza. once that is agreed upon hamas says it's a chance to expand a cease fire and negotiate further details. but if it's not agreed upon, hamas is suggesting as early as tomorrow morning the rockets could fire again. hamas held a rally today. several thousand people showed up. i it was a smaller crowd than typical. they cheered a hamas leader who told the crowd that, quote -- you mentioned, their finger was on the trigger and the rockets trained at tel aviv. we talk to a palestinian politician who says this fight is about basic human rights. >> the inhuman and immoral to keep 1.8 million people in a very -- the largest prison in the world and keep bombarding them and having them drown in sewage, without electricity and without drinkable water. even in present life. >> he says the road to peace starts with ending what he calls israel's occupation of this territory. >> is it fair to say that israel seems to be softening its position? >> we had heard that israel was insisting that gaza be demilitarized and now we're hearing from senior israeli officials that is no longer an absolute condition for these peace talks. they want to prevent hamas from rearm ore restock the supply of rockets but won't insist on demilitarizing appeal but if the open the ports and the borders it's hard to see how they can prevent hamas from resupplying. >> russia's no longer just ignoring the warnings from the west. the russian president, vladimir putin, is now lashing out and threatening our multibillion dollar industries here in the united states. our chicken industry, it is enormous, and if russia doesn't allow united states chickens into russia, lots of people in this country are going to be hurting in a huge way. the kremlin warns this could be just the start. also, the somber return of the american general ambushed in afghanistan. and what we now know about the other american heroes wounded in that attack. >> breakingness now. the "associated press" is now reporting that search teams looking for a missing girl in washington state have found the child's body. they are not yet confirming it's the body of this six-year-old girl who had been missing since saturday because they have to wait for dna. but cops say relatives waited nearly a day to report her missing, claimed she wandered off before so weren't too worried at first. the parents took lie detector tests. the parents are cooperating. more than 100 investigators searched for this girl for days they were also talking to homeless people and registered sex offenders in the neighborhood. again, police report that found what they believe to be the body of the child. continuing coverage of three crisis points in the world. ugh. heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assort fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. continuing coverage of the unfolding crisis now in northern iraq. fox news just confirmed the reports of a newspaper that the president is strongly considering plans for a humanitarian mission to help stranded religious minorities. senior officials tells us the administration needs to consider using air strikes against the militants to get close enough to airdrop food and supplies. you first have to take out some of these isis militants. the questiones, well we? the white house seems to indicate a decision is imminent. let's bring in former ambassador william taylor, a grad rat of kennedy school of government, former captain in the united states army, current vice-president of the united states institute of peace. thank you. >> glad to be here. >> we're getting drawn in again, looks like. >> it does. the big threat, the big new threat, is islamic state, this could be a threat not just to iraq but to the whole region and, indeed to the united states. >> when you hear they have taken control of a dam, they could unleash that dam with a 65-foot wall of water and kill millions of people, sounds like the kind of thing that no one would actually do, but these people are different. >> we have seen that these people are different. these people do horrible things to people. when i was in iraq, the mosul dam was always in danger of failing on its own. it would not be difficult for these crazy people to unleash that wall of water you just described, and that's a concern that we all have. >> the reason i even ask is because we realize, as individuals and as a government, i'm confident, that these people are being run over with the weapons that we sent there. not to them but to others. nevertheless, they're using our weapons. now we need to take out some of these fighters so we can keep 40,000 people on a mountain from dying where they think noah's ark used to be, and if we do that, do we run the risk that this islamic state will stay, i'll show you, and here goes the dam. >> it's a danger when you have to deal with people who are motivated by thoughts and ideologies that we don't understand. however, there is an imperative, humanitarian imperative to help the pete on the mountain. there's a strategic imperative to begin to defeat the islamic state that would motivate us to act. >> what is your sense however this islamist state could stand? we understand the -- but is there danger in the rest of the region. >> certainly. whether or not they occupy land in other countries, like jordan, like turkey, all the way down to the saudi arabia, whether they occupy land is one thing. but if they control territories, if they control space in syria and in iraq, that gives them something that no otherrer to just group has had, a real state. something that we would have to oppose and fight and eliminate. >> they got hundreds of millions of dollars when they raided the banks in mosul. they're very well funded and very well equipped thanks to our military equipment. are they a danger to the west? >> they absolutely are a danger to the west. they're a danger to the west because they have the capability, as you say, not just the weapons but also the finances -- to mount attacks on europe. they could mount attacks on the united states. >> what they want is for everybody to convert to islam and everyone to live under sharia law. right? >> that is what they say. and that is what they have been pressing in horrible terms in iraq, where they tell people they have to -- christians and others, they have to convert or be killed. these are not people that you can deal with. >> ambassador william taylor, live with us from washington on a day when the news is moving quickly. thank you. the report today -- we have every treason believe they're accurate -- are this. the frailess go first. older people and little babies. they're now burying babies under rocks on the mountain because the babies don't have water, don't have milk because moms can't make milk when they don't have water, and they don't have food. and with temperatures above 100 degrees every day, how long do the rest last? days at most. so, how long does the west or the united states, does the president have to act? hours. and without it, unless something changes by some miracle, there are 40,000 people there, and you know what terrorists do? they take video of their victims as a warning to the rest of them, and if it happens you'll see it on youtube tomorrow. >> the ahead of nato is warning russia to step back from a brunch ol' war. the third spot. first, hamas saying they'll restart. then the caliphate spreading in the north of iraq, and then on the bored enbetween ukraine and russia, another war is threatened. russia is trying to pull the troops out of ukraine. a message that comes as russia tries to hit the west writ hurts in our wallet. the russian president putin signed an order that bans the import of most foods from the united states and europe. agricultural products, meat, chicken. in retaliation for the punishment the went e west handed out over russia support of the rebels warring in ukraine. that threatens to hurt several industries. if all these chickens that the united states sends to russia can't go to russia? what happens. the cost of chickens going down and everybody social if with chicken farming are in a world of hurt. if they used to be 40-cents a pound, they're now 5-cents a body. the product residents, good people now heavy where to sell their goods. it could collapse thens country, and other countries that rake in billions of dollars to shipment, but also threatens to create problems for average russians who could find their store shelves empty, so he is hurting his own people and hurting us, the russian prime minister and putin's right-hand man says it's the west, not russia, playing politics. >> we didn't want such a development of events. we sincerely hope our partners' economic pragmatism will prevail over petty political reasons. >> russias will not have the ability to get any chickens from the united states. whether fresh or frozen. industry analysts say russia is the second leading market nor u.s. chickens. that would be a disaster in the part of the country i come from. won't stop russians from eating western chocolate, which is not covered by the ban. but all nuts are banned. then there's this. champaign -- champagne is still fine, as is all alcohol from the west. the russians can forget about having cheese with wine. all dairy products are out. think about the dairy industry. some with the -- same thing with western fruits and vegetables. none of it can go and that could hurt the netherlands. one of the world's largest agricultural exports. but the ban will not hurt the west's huge wheat industry. pasta is still allowed. analysts say the plan is a clear sign putin is not backing down in ukraine. the president reports some 20,000 troops have gathered near the ukrainian border, an indication that the russian troop quds invade. that's exactly what happened in crimea which russia now claims as it own, and the kremlin is now threatening to restrict its air space, like during the colored war. that means jets traveling across the region could no longer nye over russia. that could add hours to flights to and from asia and drive prices through the roof. a hike in the airlines could pass on the fliers no matter where they're headed. so it's an enormous mess. and steve harrigan is live with the news this afternoon. steve, analysts say this could backfire in a big way. >> certainly it will hit in western industries, some pacific industries and sellers hard, but in the bigger picture, it really could backfire and cause a spike in inflation in russia. the u.s. poultry council head says this could increase the cost of protein for russian consumers who now have to pay a lot more probably for chicken. as for the overall picture in the u.s., we sell $1 billion in food each year to russia, and bigger picture, that is still less than one percent of total u.s. agricultural exports. >> why chicken?
