Surrounded and banged on his cruiser. Authorities say rioters vandalized numerous buildings and set fires, including the burning of the american flag. At least to kill police cars also reportedly were damaged in all of this. A mob surrounded a jail, as well. Watch.

Force pilot. What was his reaction as a king . The gloves have come off. As a father. Disgust, sadness to the family. How far will his nation go in response to try to defeat isis . This is our war. Then from next door the man who could upset israeli politics. A poll this week has the party dead even with the party of the current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Elections are just 16 days away. What does herzog think of mr. Netanyahu going to washington in ill ask him. But first here is my take.
