the morals of the story are you don't know what the most important piece of evidence is going to be until after the trial's over. in this case, it happened to be a key which led you to a crime scene. crisis in iraq. terrorists gaining ground, moving closer to baghdad. iraq's leader, now turning to iran and russia for help, claiming the u.s. isn't acting fast enough. will the u.s. be pushed out of this fight? we are live in baghdad with the latest this morning. >> dangerous storming barrelling across the country. millions in the path of violent weather for the weekend. indra is tracking what you need to know. a loss never looked so good. team usa alive and kicking in

strike at isis military targets. others in the region are not as balanced. syria is carrying out cross border raids, iran sending in, bolstering the iraqi forces with ammunition and light weaponry coming across the border. the other issue they are facing here is they really don't have a very good intelligence picture on it. they know there are 10,000 isis fighters between ear ya and iraq but don't have a sense of where they are. even if you did want to strike, where are you going to strike without having an impact on the civilian operation. it's slowing them down while isis is continuing in the battle for baghdad. yesterday evening, a suicide attack killed 19 here to the north of the capital. it's ramping up the tension here

today. >> thank you so much for that. >> syrian rebels get a huge cash infusion if president obama gets his wish. he wants congress to green light $500 million to train moderate opposition. it's part of a $1.5 billion operation to stabilize the region with help. the suspected master mind of the rampage on the u.s. mission in benghazi is nearing american soil. he could arrive as soon as this weekend according to a senior law enforcement source. he spent two weeks being -- >> the future of presidential recess appointments changed after the supreme court ruled the national relations board were made improperly. the senate was in a session, so technically not shut down, which would have paved the way for the

well, christine, does it seem weird we are celebrating and happy after the usa lost? it feels odd. that loss to germany did not matter. as we know, the usa is progressing. their next fixture is the round of 16. that will be against belgium. now belgium is the dark horse of this tournament thchlt is the team everybody said you need to keep your eye on. there's a lot of young players. the average age of the squad is 26 years old. they are fast. they are physical. they are very good, very skilled players. i think the usa can handle this belgium team. the one area that the american team will have to concentrate on, that will be to breakthrough this belgian defense. they have one goal in their first three matches. that goal was actually a penalty. they have their work cut out for

them. they made it through the group of death. now everything seems doable. they surpassed all expectations. kl klinsmann knew if he could do that -- now, round 16 in salve dor. hopefully it won't be a horrible, horrible, rainy day. >> it's all about you. i have seen the film, right? but i think that's all i know about belgium. they have a good soccer team but that's all i know. a lot of people think fries originated in belgium. trying to think what i could do without belgian beer, pale ale, the dancing horses. they have good things around there. we are going to beat you, belgium. if you are belgium watching the

sectarianly divisive policies. they are putting the brakes, somewhat, on military strikes. they are waiting for the political process to take its course. that is going to take some days, if not weeks. that push that is time frame back, all the while, isis is continuing the battle, continuing attempts to push toward the iraqi capital. just yesterday, suicide attack to the north of baghdad kills 19 people and injured 41 others ant remember back in 2006, the attack kicked off some of the worst sectarian violence that country has seen. that is always the concern when they get close to the hoety sites. it gives you a sense of how baghdad really is teetering on

that knife edge while it's building. while the political consensus, they are attempting to pull that together. the reality on the ground, john, that's not waiting for anyone. >> the reality in the air, as well w the iraqi prime minister, nuri al maliki saying russian jets because u.s. assistance is too long in the coming. >> reporter: well, part of the issue is that the u.s. doesn't have a very clear intelligence picture. that's the sense we are getting from our conversations with senior u.s. officials. the u.s. military advisers are here and setting up that intelligence corporation but we don't have specific locations but inside iraq. hopefully that will give them a better sense. candidly, there are 10,000 or so isis fighters, that's the number we have been given. there really is no fix on their

location. nobody knows where to strike. the syrian government, however, doesn't seem to be held back. they are just carrying out cross border aids and hitting where they think isis is. some of the reports we are hearing from the ground are causing quite a bit of civilian loss of life. you get the sense, john, of a delicate balancing act here. the reality is hammering people over the head that isis is continuing to make gains. john? >> thanks so much. congress will consider a request from president obama for 500 milli$500 million to send t rebels. they want to green light the money to train and equip the opposition. it's part of an initiative to stabilize the region. >> the price suspect on the rampage in benghazi could be in the united states this weekend.

reform despite hope for a deal. the issue is likely dead until president obama leaves office. despite consensus for a deal among negotiators. i thought that was a big business lobby. the chamber of commerce is optimistic about a deal. >> i think immigration reform can get done whether it's peace of comprehensive, the country wants it. the president wants it. the business community wants it. religious groups want it. i think it can get done. berman is shaking his head. >> they are used to getting what they want with the influence they have. it's not going anywhere. it shows the disconnect between the business community and the new republican movement in congress. the tea party not changing money. a lot of those groups not in favor of immigration reform.

i would be shocked if something happens. >> when i talked to a senior white house official, the commerce secretary doesn't think it's dead in the next few years. outside washington, people say it looks like trouble. compromise is what makes it not get done, right? everyone has different ideas of what they will expect, quite frankly. >> obviously very important in leadership and business an also solve the problems on the border. 37 minutes past the hour. state's exhibit process of obamacare being simplified. most of the 5 million people who signed up online will be able to renew automatically. changes in the policy will require action. time for an "early start" on money. european stocks are up. u.s. futures barely moving. it could be the summer stupor. home values have bounced back,
