Respond. Today two people were killed in jerusalem and what Police Called a terror attack. They say man from an arab area ran to a construction excavator into a bus. John wlab can you tell us about what happened in jerusalem today . Reporter that was 1 of 2 attacks. Police say a guy got into that excavator, rammed the bus several times, knocking it over, flipping it over. Several people inside, along with the bus driver, were injured. Not hearing that they were severely injured but a pedestrian was run over by that construction vehicle and killed before police opened fire on the guy behind the wheel there who was in that construction vehicle shooting him several times, as you probably hear in that video. That was the first attack. A short time later police say a guy on a motorcycle rolled up to an israeli soldier and opened fire on that soldier hitting the soldier several times. The last we heard that soldier is in Critical Condition right now in the hospital. The motorcycle rider got away. The search is on for that person. Now police are calling both of these incidents terror attacks. Over the course of the last few weeks, as this war has been going on, as the fightings been going on, weve seen a lot of clashes between palestinians and police in parts of East Jerusalem and also the west bank. While nobodys claimed responsibility for those two incidents, hamas congratulated the people that were involved for the attacks. Okay . So that said, lets talk about whats going on here. You mentioned the Ground Forces pulling out. Were hearing that israeli officials are opting for a unilateral withdrawal at this point. As we continue to hear though outgoing artillery fire. Thank you very much on the israelgaza border. A lot of american taxpayers now in the middle east especially with the foreign aid we are sending so israel, billions and billions of dollars every year. The United Nations relief and works agencies is an organization that finds different social services, like schools. Some of these school youve seen on the news lately because theyve been hit by israel. Some of the same schools where the u. N. Itself found troves of hamas rockets hidden inside. We have also had incidents, these were three, where in tnin course of inspections that we carried out we identified weapons kaescaches that were in premises, something that we made known to the world in very proactive and transparent way because those ways of endangering our premises by placing weapons in them are unacceptable and we condemn them unreservedly. Strong condemnation there and also strong condemnation of israel. Former terrorism analyst at the treasury department, looked into Terror Financing, jonathan, you are a good person to talk about this. Tell us how our 300 million is being used. Its been around for a long time almost since the beginning of the conflict. It plays sort of after dual role. On one hand it provides services to palestinians in the west bank and gaza strip. But one of the problems that we have uncountered with unrwa, it doesnt actually only provide services to the actual refugees from 1948 or perhaps 67. It is now bestowed upon the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of these original refugees. Unrwa has made it so the 800,000 refugees have become almost 5 million making this conflict much more difficult to solve. And why is that . Look. Knock on unrwa is it has become an agency thats dedicated to bloating its own coffers. The United Nations has gone out of its way to settle every other refugee population in history but they have not done so with the palestinians. Thats the only reason why unrwa exists. What is the relationship between unrwa and hamas. It is complicated. It is a u. N. Agency thats supposed to be doing the work of the west. On the other hand, if you look at the people who work for unrwa, a lot of them are hamas. They are teaching hamas materials. Of course, theyre working in a territory that has been governed and controlled by hamas so they have to operate according to hamas rules. This has made things extremely difficult for unrwa to operate in but also raises some very troubling questions about whether they are acting in some ways as a partner. I ask you this because of your background in Terror Financing and laws and watching where our money is heading. Is my taxpayer money funding hamas indirectly because im funding unrwa . Look, its not a simple question to answer. But look, we have found, for example you heard the director of unrwa just say that there were three different schools that had rockets stored within. There is one report of a clinic controlled by unrwa where there is a tunnel underneath that was booby trapped underneath and ended up killing three israeli soldiers. It does provide the salaries and pay for the livelihood of several hamas members. So indirectly, yes, unrwa is providing support to hamas. Gives us something to think about. Thank you. Former White House Press secretary to president Ronald Reagan james brady has passed away. He became an advocate for gun control rights after he was wounded in that attempt on reagans life in 1981. His family talked a little bit about his health prior to his death. He died at 73 years old. More from washington now on the passing of this man. Doug . Jenna, this is a great loss. Were just learning more of it as the hours and minutes pass on. James brady became very, very famous after that assassination attempt on president reagan. But he had had a rich lifelong before that. Then long since that. His first lob was really Public Relations and politics. He never served as a newspaper reporter or a television reporter. Even though he got the press secretarys job. His love was Public Relations. He grew up in illinois and first became attached to politics through the lion of the senate, senator Everett Dirksen of illinois. He went on to hold several jobs in Public Relations. Then he got more jobs in washington, one of which was in the Transition Team for the Reagan Campaign after president reagan was elected president , he appointed brady his press secretary. On that fateful day in march of 1981, brady was wounded in the head, along with the president. While he was being treated, there were reports surfacing at the time and broadcast live on television that brady had had died. We of course knew at the time it was not true. His surgeon in attendance said that nobody has told either me or my patient about that. Immoralized words. But in any event, brady went on to serve a very rich life against handguns, the brady center to prevent handgun violence. Wed learned just in krrecent weeks he had been in Failing Health and he just died today at the able of 73. What a life and what a life of Service Really to our country. Doug, thank you very much. More on that story throughout the day. In the meantime, the second american infected with oby beb is scheduled to begin her journey back to the United States tomorrow. Shes headed to the kwauquarant unit of emery hospital. Dr. Kent brantlys arrival over the weekend was believed to be the fir time anyone infected with the disease was brought to america for the treatment. John roberts, what do we know about the second patient . Well, were hearing some good things about Nancy Writebol. She is a nurse who was working for s. I. M. , which runs the hospital in which both she and dr. Kent brantly who works for samaritans first contracted the ebola virus. She is said to now be in serious but stable condition and that is very good news with that long travel just ahead of her. Quoting her husband, David Bruce Johnson from s. I. M. , her appetite has improved and she requested one of her favorite dishes, liberian potato soup and coffee. Getting her appetite back, a very important step here. She is expected to leave some time tonight, between probably 9 00 and 10 00 eastern time. Like dr. Kent brantly, shes received an experimental serum which appears to have improved her condition. She will have a 14hour flight onboard are that specially equipped gulfstream g3 inside that Isolation Chamber designed by the centers for disease control. Then shell be brought here to the Isolation Unit at emory where her colleague, dr. Brantly, currently is. Meantime, what about dr. Brantly . How is he doing . Reporter im hearing some good things about him, too. His condition is apparently improving. And it appears to have taken a dramatic change for the better after he received a single dose of that experimental serum when he was in liberia. He was in really bad shape on thursday, labored breathing, apparently was developing a rash. Might have started to hemorrhage as well, thats usually the end stage of this disease. A doctor from the National Institutes on allergies and Infectious Disease told me it is a model clonal antibody. It is engineered to attack the ebola virus. It prevents the virus from entering other cells, also boosts the immune response after a single dose. Dr. Brantly went from literally being on deaths door to now being able to walk in to that hospital, though his doctors told me this morning he is not out of the woods just yet. There is a well documented phenomenon in africa called pseudo remission where the patients do get better, then get worse. Any patient with ebola needs to be monitored very closely to ll significant amount of time. Reporter we understand that significant amount of time could be several weeks. Also, we should point out, in west africa things getting worse according to the world health organization. 1,603 people have come down with the ebola. 887 of them have died. As the cdc was telling us last week, this epidemic continues to get worse. John, a lot to consider. John roberts on one of our big stories today. At least two entire towns are cut off from the outside world after a devastating mudslide. Heavy storms drowning roads in several parts of southern california. Hundreds of people are trapped at a church camp with no way in and no way out. A live report on that. Plus, mitt romney emerging as the gogo guy on the campaign trail for the gop.

Rock you like a hurricane fiber one now makes cookies. Find them in the cookie aisle. Now for a little politics. You wont see president obamas name on the ballot, but the white house is gearing up for the midterm elections by turning the president into a bit of a campaigner in chief as weve seen him go the last several weeks. Looks like the strategy to fight republicans is by calling them mean. Ever lovable Chris Stirewalt is our fox news analyst. Weve seen it from the president before. Will it work this time around . Well, it worked for him when he was running for president and he ran negative campaign for reelection. He won with fewer electoral votes than he did the first type around. You ground out a win, he beat up mitt romney. And as joe biden says dont compare me to the almighty, compare me to the alternative. He got in for a second term. Wasnt pretty, but it worked. However, when you talk about congress, the president should bear in mind that his Party Controls the Upper Chamber, it is a democratic senate. When the president goes out and rips on congress and theyre mean, nasty and jerks and they dont pass anything, the thing hes trying to do, interestingly, is keep incumbents in office. His job is to make sure that the republicans dont flip a net sixseat gain in the United States senate. He has to keep incumbents in office. The more he goes out and trash talks congress, hes actually stoking the fires of antiincumbency and actually stoking the fires of people saying i hate congress, so im going to vote my guy out. Do you think the republicans have an adequate strategy to counteract that, to say if the president says this is a donothing congress, to point out as the Upper Chamber is democratcontrolled . Well, on friday the house passed a measure the president didnt like it and he thinks it is unacceptable and he said he would veto it but they passed a measure to deal with the border, they dealt with the highway funds thing. They arent the bills the president wants but theyre passing bills. The senate moved forward, meanwhile, on a total political Election Year stunt that would have a constitutional amendment targeted at the Koch Brothers and outside groups and packed up and left town without doing anything. So the president s rhetoric doesnt match the situation on the ground and that can be very dangerous for those democrats he needs to keep in office in order for the end of his second term not to be a total disaster. Well see what happens over the next several weeks as everyone is on summer recess and has time to go home and confront some their voters. Chris, i know you have some reporting on this. Mitt romney is apparently the man when it comes to the gop campaign trail of getting geared up for the fall. Whats behind that . Well, hes famous. He likes to fly commercial. He gets there cheap. Also we see that the polls have indicated a lot of buyers remorse from the second obama election. Romney in these headtohead matches beat the president. People say they wish that romney had been president so that makes romney helpful. Not so much in the bright red states where the people are looking for less pastel in their conservatism and more bright red. But in states where you have a lot of persuadable, more moderate democrats, romney, a former blue state governor, a guy whos seen as not a middle of the roader, but certainly a guy who appeals to more moderate voters in places like iowa, places like michigan, especially new hampshire, those are places that he can go and he sells the brand of republicanism that works very well for candidates who are trying to flip seats. Interesting. Lot of questions about the Party Leadership as well. We have to leave it there, chris. I like the pastel reference though. Reagan. Were having a reaganectric day. Chris, thank you. Were learning about this potentially life saving serum goichb given to at least one of the americans who contracted the ebola virus. Well talk, about it, what is it about this secret serum .
