TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH" THE
SETTLEMENT SHOW DOWN, LATEST ON
ISRAEL'S PLANS TO BUILD ON LAND
PALESTINIANS CLAIM AS THEIR OWN.
PLUS WORRY IN WASHINGTON AS
THE FISCAL CLIFF DRAWS EVER
CLOSER.
AND HOW GOING UNDERGROUND
PREPARES FIRST RESPONDERS FOR
DISASTERS THEY HOPE WILL NEVER
HAPPEN.
ALL OF THIS AND MORE TONIGHT ON
"NEWSWATCH." GOOD EVENING
EVERYONE I AM LEE WEB.
AND I AM WENDY GRIFFITH.
BRITAIN AND FRANCE THREATENING
TO RECALL AMBASSADORS.
ISRAEL'S PLAN WILL BUILD ON
LAND PALESTINIANS CLAIM IS PART
OF A FUTURE PALESTINIAN STATE.
CHRIS MITCHELL HAS TONIGHT'S TOP
STORY FROM ISRAEL.
REPORTER: ISRAEL SAID IT
WOULD BUILD MORE THAN 3,000 NEW
APARTMENTS IN AREAS KNOWN
BIBLICALLY AS JUDEO JUDEO AND
SAMARIA.
ISRAEL SAYS THE VOTE ABGAITED
AGREEMENTS THAT PA AND ISRAEL
MADE TO EACH OTHER IN THE OSLO
ACCORDS.
NETANYAHU SAID IT WAS WAGING A
STRUGGLE AGAINST THE VERY
EXISTENCE AGAINST ISRAEL.
WE DON'T, NEITHER THE BRITISH
OR FRENCH BUILD.
WE DON'T EXPECT ANYBODY TO TELL
US WHAT TO DO.
ANOTHER PART OF THE
CONTROVERSY TO EXPAND THIS MAALE
ADUMIM LOCATING OUTSIDE
JERUSALEM.
PALESTINIAN LEADERS AND MEDIA
REPORTS SAY THE EXPANSION WOULD
CUT THE WEST BANK IN TWO.
THE WEST BANK WOULD BE ABOUT 10
MILES WIDE AND CONNECT THIS
JEWISH SUBURB TO JERUSALEM.
BAN KI-MOON AND SEVERAL
OTHERS CALL THE LAND OCCUPIED.
ISRAEL HAS THE NATURAL RIGHT AND
TERRITORIAL CLAIMS ON IT.
MEANWHILE PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT
ABBAS DECLARED PALESTINE A STATE
AND PLANS TO RECONCILE NOT WITH
ISRAEL BUT HAMAS AND GAZA STRIP.
HE SAID ONE DAY THE ETERNAL
CAPITAL OF THE STATE OF
PALESTINE.
AFTER THE U.N. VOTE AND ISRAEL'S
RESPONSE, THE BATTLE OVER THE
FUTURE AND FATE OF JERUSALEM IS
TAKING CENTER STAGE IN THE WORLD
ARENA.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS, MAALE
ADUMIM.
JOHN WAAGE HAS SPENT YEARS
COVERING THE MIDDLE EAST IN OUR
JERUSALEM BUREAU.
AS A MATTER OF FACT IS RETURNING
TO ISRAEL FOR A TRIP NEXT WEEK.
JOHN, EXPLAIN ABOUT THIS LAND WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT?
LEE, THIS IS LAND RATHER THAN
A SETTLEMENT, IT IS A SUBURB OF
JERUSALEM.
WE ARE TALKING A FIVE MINUTE
DRIVE, TEN MINUTES TOPS IF YOU
HAVE TRAFFIC.
HILLS IN THE JEW DAYIAN HILLS.
GOVERNMENTS OF ISRAEL FOR THE
LAST NEARLY 20 YEARS HAVE TAKEN
THE E1 CORRIDOR AND STATE THIS
IS THE PART OF THE CITY OF THE
MAALE ADUMIM.
IT IS PART OF THE CITY OF
JERUSALEM WHICH IS A VERY
DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO THE
ISRAEL
ISRAELIS?
THE CITY NEEDS TO EXPAND
OUTWARD.
THERE IS NOWHERE FOR THE CITY TO
GROW LITERALLY IS ON THE BORDER
OF THE WEST BANK, OUTSIDE
GOVERNMENTS, U.N., EUROPEAN,
SOMETIMES UNITED STATES SAYS YOU
CAN'T PUSH THERE, THAT IS
PALESTINIAN LAND.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO THE
PALESTINIANS?
THIS E1 CORRIDOR WOULD DIVIDE
NORTHERN WEST BANK FROM SOUTHERN
WEST BANK.
THIS WOULD BISECT IT.
THE PALESTINIANS SAY WE DON'T
WANT TO HAVE TO GO AROUND IT.
IT IS PART OF OUR LAND.
ISRAELIS ARE SAYS THIS IS PRIME
PROPERTY THAT BELONGS TO ISRAEL.
IT IS A TOUGH CONTENTION POINT.
JOHN, YOU BELIEVE THERE IS AN
ULTERI
ULTERIOR MOTIVE.
TIMING IS FORTUITOUS.
AT THE SAME TIME BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU FACES THE VOTERS IN A
MONTH AND A HALF.
I THINK THIS IS PRESSURE PLACED
ON NETANYAHU BY THE PALESTINIAN
GOVERNMENT SAYING IF WE CAN
MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF SEATS
NETANYAHU HAS THEN WE'LL HAVE A
NEW PRIME MINISTER THAT IS
EASIER FOR US TO DEAL WITH IT.
DO YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE?
I DON'T THINK SO.
THE POLLS SHOW NETANYAHU IN THE
LEAD.
WENDY?
THANKS, LEE.
EGYPT'S CONSTITUTIONAL COURT
SUSPENDS INDEFINITELY.
THOUSANDS OF PRO-MORSI
DEMONSTRATORS.
THE COURT POSTPONED A RULING ON
THE LEGITIMACY OF A ISLAMIST
DOMINATED PANEL.
A RULING FROM THE COURT WOULD BE
A DIRECT CHALLENGE TO MORSI WHO
GAVE HIMSELF NEAR ABSOLUTE
POWER.
WHITE HOUSE WARNING SYRIAN
GOVERNMENT ON USING CHEMICAL
WEAPONS ON THEIR PEOPLE.
SUCH MOVE WOULD QUOTE CROSS A
RED LINE.
THERE HAS BEEN INCREASED
ACTIVITY.
SYRIAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS
ITS GOVERNMENT WOULDN'T USE SUCH
WEAPONS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
SECRETARY OF STATE HILARY
CLINTON SAYS THE SYRIAN
OPPOSITION IS GETTING STRONGER.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SAY
FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY THE AT A
TIPPING POINT.
CERTAINLY SEEMS THAT THE REGIME
WILL BE MUCH HARDER PRESSED IN
THE NEXT MONTH.
WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN JAY
CARNIE QUOTE THE WORLD IS
WATCHING.
HE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR
HIS ACTIONS.
IT APPEARS IRAN MAYBE WILLING
TO HOLD DIRECT TALKS WITH THE
U.S. ABOUT ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM.
SUCH TALKS ARE POSSIBLE BUT
WOULD HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE
AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI.
IT IS THE FIRST CLEAR SIGNAL
IRAN WOULD CONSIDER ONE ON ONE
DIALOGUE WITH WASHINGTON.
HERE AT HOME A FEDERAL JUDGE
HAS ISSUED A PRELIMINARY
INJUNCTION AGAINST THE
PRESIDENT'S HEALTH CARE MANDATE
ON BEHALF OF BIBLE PUBLISHER
TINNED L HOUSE REQUIRING
COVERAGE FOR CONTRACEPTIVE AND
ABORTION INDUCING DRUGS.
IT COMPELS THEM TO VIOLATE THEIR
BELIEFS.
THEY COMPARE IT TO BATTLE OF
DAVID AND GOLIATH.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD CLINICS
QUITTING THE GROUP RATHER THAN
BEING FORCED TO DO ABORTIONS.
PRO-LIFER ARE FURIOUS WITH
REPUBLICANS LIKE MITT ROMNEY AND
JOHN MCCAIN.
MARJORIE DANNENFELSER IS ONE
OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD BIG EAST
ENEMIES.
DEDICATED TO ELECTED MORE
PRO-LIFE WOMEN AND NATIONWIDE.
SEVERAL AFFILIATES HAVE QUIT
PLANNED PARENTHOOD RATHER THAN
PROVIDE ABORTIONS BY 2013.
ONE WOMAN IN IOWA COMPLAINED
ABOUT THIS.
OTHER GOINGS ON AND SHE WAS
IMMEDIATELY BOOTED OUT.
NOW SHE IS ACTUALLY HOLDING US
IN OUR DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD
BATTLE.
THEY BOOED PEOPLE OUT AND BRAG
ABOUT IT.
IT GULLS, DANNENFELSER HOW
MUCH TAX PAYOR MONEY THAT GOES
TO THE EMPIRE.
IT IS AROUND 300,000 A YEAR.
WE ARE PAYING A MILLION DOLLARS
EVERYDAY TODAY, TOMORROW, THE
NEXT DAY TO RUN THE MOST
PROLIFIC ABORTION PROVIDER IN
THE NATION.
JOHN MCCAIN SUGGESTED THAT HE
AND OTHER REPUBLICANS NEED TO
SHUT UP ABOUT ABORTION.
DANNENFELSER SAY IT IS PRO-LIFE
ACTIVISTS FIRST LAUGHED THEN GOT
OUTRAGED BECAUSE TOP REPUBLICANS
EVEN MENTIONED ABORTION MUCH
LESS FOUGHT IT.
THERE WAS STRICT AND SEVERE
DISCIPLINE, ONLY TALK ABOUT JOBS
AND THE ECONOMY.
SHE SAYS THE SILENCE ABOUT
ABORTION WAS DEAFEN.
EVERYONE THAT IS FIGHTING A
CAUSE SAYS SILENCE IN
COMPLICITY.
ONE OF THE MAJOR WATCH
PARTIES NOVEMBER 6TH WAS
SPONSORED BY DANNENFELSER'S
LIST.
WHEN OHIO CAME THROUGH THERE
WAS A LOT OF CRYING.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN
SENT TO THIS WORLD EVERYDAY FOR
A PURPOSE.
WE ARE FIGHTING FOR THEM.
TO SEE IT ALL COLLAPSE, OF
COURSE YOU ARE GOING TO BE VERY
SAT.
GUYS MAD, GIRLS CRYING.
ABOUT 2:00 A.M., PEOPLE
GATHERED AND PRAYED AND DECIDED
THEY ARE GOING TO FIGHT ON.
PAUL PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS.
WASHINGTON.
FIRST SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
WEDDINGS IN THE HISTORIC WEST
POINT CHAPEL.
I SPOKE TO CHRIS BY PHONE TO GET
HIS REACTION FOR THE CHAPEL
BEING USED FOR A SAME-SEX
MARRIAGE WEDDING.
WHEN I FIRST HEARD, I THOUGHT
I WAS ANGRY.
THIS ISN'T JUST A WEST POINT
CAPITAL ISSUE.
WHEN ANDREW JACKSON ASKED WHY HE
CARRIED A BIBLE, HE SAID IT IS
THE ISSUES UPON WHICH WE REST.
I THINK NOW THE CHALLENGE IS FOR
CHRISTIANS TO NOT TAKE UP THE
POSITION OF BASHING THE
COMMANDER IN CHIEF AND THE
INSTITUTION BUT RISE ABOVE THAT
AND PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS.
ARMY CHAPLAINS FROM OTHER
POSTS PERFORMED THE CEREMONIES
BECAUSE THE DENOMINATIONS OF
WEST POINT CHAPLINS DON'T ALLOW
THEM TO PERFORM SAME-SEX
MARRIAGES.
A TWO POINT -- DEMOCRATS HOLD
TIGHT TO RAISE TAXES ON HIGH
INCOME AMERICANS.
THOSE ON THE LEFT WANT TO CUT
SPENDING.
REPUBLICANS SAY THEIR PLANS
AREN'T SERIOUS.
CHARLENE ISRAEL HAS THE LATEST
ON THE FISCAL CLIFF.
I THINK THEY ARE SGOING OVER
THE CLIFF.
REPORTER: THERE IS NOW WORRY
IN WASHINGTON THAT THE FISCAL
CLIFF NEGOTIATIONS COULD FAIL
AND TAKE THE COUNTRY OVER THE
CLIFF.
$2,200-$2,400 TAX INCREASE FOR
EACH FAMILY AND PAYROLL TAX CUT
THAT WOULD DISAPPEAR.
ANOTHER 250 IN DEFENSE,
EDUCATION AND FOOD SAFETY
RESEARCH.
THE PRESIDENT'S INSISTENCE THAT
IS THE TAX CUTS BE ALLOWED TO
EXPIRE.
THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN GOVERN
THIS COUNTRY.
THOSE RATES HAVE TO GO UP.
THE PRESIDENT WANTS 1.6
TRILLION DOLLARS IN NEW TAX
REVENUE OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.
SPEAKER BOEHNER WANTS HALF THAT.
ON FOX NEWS SUNDAY, THE SPEAKER
SHOT DOWN THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN.
THE PRESIDENT IS ASKING FOR
1.6 TRILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF
NEW REVENUE OVER 10 YEARS, TWICE
AS MUCH AS HE HAS BEEN ASKING
FOR IN PUBLIC.
STIMULUS SPENDING THAT EXCEEDED
THE AMOUNT OF NEW CUTS HE WAS
WILLING TO CONSIDER.
IT WAS NOT A SERIOUS OFFER.
ECONOMISTS SAY IF WASHINGTON
CAN'T REACH A DEAL, THE U.S.
ECONOMY WILL FALL INTO A
RECESSION AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
WILL GO UP.
CHARLENE ISRAEL, CBN NEWS.
COMING UP, AS REBELS GAIN
GROUND IN THE CONGO, WE'LL SHOW
YOU HOW CHRISTIANS ARE STEPPING
IN WITH AID.
CASUALTIES AMONG AFGHANY

POLICEMAN.
FATALITIES AMONG NATO SOLDIERS

AFGHANISTAN.
COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL SCHEDULED

ESTABLISHMENTS IN THAT REGION.
HUNDREDS HAVE DIED BETWEEN THE
TWO SIDES IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
CHRISTIAN HUMANITARIAN RELIEF
EFFORTS IN CONGO GOING FORWARD.
M-23 RECENTLY CEASED TERRITORY.
A GROUP OF CONGOLEE PASTORS
THAT ARE THE MOST DISTRESSED AND
SEEING THEY ARE INFORMED OF WHAT
CBN IS DOING AND THEY CAN BRING
THEM INTO THE HEAL AFRICA CLINIC
AND BE SERVED.
TO HEAR MORE OF JOHN CASTLE'S
COMMENTS LOG TO TO
GLOBALLANE@CBNNEWS.COM.
UP NEXT, SEE WHERE WORKERS
TRAIN FOR DISASTER.
A NIGHTMARE OVER THE WEEKEND
IN TOKYO, THE CEILING OF A THREE
MILE LONG CONCRETE TUNNEL IT
CAME CRASHING DOWN AND NINE
PEOPLE KILLED.
RESCUE EFFORTS ON HOLD.
IT PASSED A ROUTINE INSPECTION
BACK IN SEPTEMBER.
INVESTIGATORS LOOKING INTO WHAT
CAUSED THE PANELS TO COLLAPSE.
HERE AT HOME WHEN SUCH DISASTERS
STRIKE FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE TO
BE READY TO WORK AS A TEAM.
THAT IS WHY FIRST RESPONDERS
SPEND SO MUCH TIME PRACTICING
FOR DIFFERENT SCENARIOS.
ON TONIGHT'S FOCUS REPORT CHUCK
HOLTON TAKES US UNDERGROUND TO
SHOW US HOW THEY TRAIN.
REPORTER: A TERRORIST EVENT
IN A CROWDED SUBWAY.
RESCUES RUSH IN TO HELP.
FORTUNATELY THIS IS ONLY AN
EXERCISE.
FOR THE TRAINERS IN THIS
SCENARIO, IT DOESN'T FEEL THAT
WAY.
FIRST RESPONDERS TRAVEL HERE TO
THE MOUNTAINS OF WEST VIRGINIA
TO GO UNDERGROUND. WE WILL
TAKE A UNIT THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY, SUPPORTED TEAMS,
CIVILIAN FIRST RESPONDERS, WE
WILL TAILER FIRST RESPONDERS,
MOCK HOSTAGE RESCUE TO
EXTRACTION FROM COLLAPSE
STRUCTURES.
ONE TUNNEL SERVES A NEW
PURPOSE TAKING DISASTER
PREPAREDNESS TO A NEW LEVEL.
WE CAN MAKE IT MIDNIGHT,
BARS, SMOKE.
THE ECHO ADDS TO THE REALISM,
YOU'LL HAVE JACKHAMMERS, PEOPLE
CRYING FOR HELP.
TODAY'S OFFICE A SIMULATED
TERROR ATTACK ON A SUBWAY TRAIN.
LOCAL WEST VIRGINIAIANS SERVE AS
VICTIMS.
TRAINING UNIT CAME ALL THE WAY
FROM PORTLAND, OREGON.
THAT IS VERY RARE.
THAT IS WHY WE TRAVELED FROM
PORTLAND TO WEST VIRGINIA.
WE TRAIN ROUTINELY.
YOU DO NOT PUT A RAIL CAR LIKE
THEY HAVE DONE HERE.
OUR JOB WAS TO DO A SWEEP OF
THE SCENE AND LOCATE DEVICES OR
DETERMINE IF WE CAN WORK AROUND
THEM.
WE ARE TRYING TO GET THOSE
FOLKS OUT OF HARM'S WAY WHILE
OUR EOD GUY RENDERS THEM SAFE.
IT WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE
SCENARIO.
IF THEY HAD NEVER WORKED
TOGETHER BEFORE, THEY MIGHT NOT
BE ABLE TO RESPOND EFFECTIVELY.
THAT IS WHY THE TRAINING AT THE
CENTER FOR NATIONAL RESPONSE IS
SO IMPORTANT.
THESE ARE THE GUYS THAT ARE
GOING TO SHOW UP AFTER THE FIRST
RESPONDERS ARE THERE AND ASK FOR
ASSISTANCE.
THESE ARE THE HEAVY LIFTERS.
THEY BRING THE BIG EQUIPMENT AND
PERSONNEL NEEDED TO DO A VERY
LARGE EVENT.
EMERGENCY WORKERS COME FROM
FAR AND WIDE BECAUSE THIS LEVEL
OF REALISM ISN'T AVAILABLE
ANYWHERE ELSE.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE
HAVE HAD LIVE ACTORS.
THEY PROVIDE A SENSE OF REALISM
AND URGENCY.
WE HOPE WE NEVER HAVE TO USE
THIS.
MORE PREPARED WE ARE, THE BETTER
WE ARE IN CASE SOMETHING
HAPPENS.
MILITARY GETS TO USE IT AS
WELL.
A SIMULATED DRUG LAB.
SPECIAL OPERATIONS COME FROM
AROUND THE COUNTRY TO SERVE IN
THIS CAVE COMPLEX BUILT THE LOOK
LIKE THE ONES IN AFGHANISTAN.
DOES NTD LOOK MUCH MORE
REALISTIC THAN THIS.
IN THE MOUNTAINS OUTSIDE
CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, I AM
CHUCK HOLTON FOR CBN NEWS.
UP NEXT, THE WORLD'S LARGEST
LIVING, BREATHING, AND YES,
SINGING CHRISTMAS TREES.
[LAUGHTER].
AND FINALLY THE TALLEST AND
LARGEST HUMAN CHRISTMAS TREES IN
THE WORLD.
WHAT'S MORE, IT SINGS.
[APPLAUSE]
THAT'S RIGHT.
MEMBERS OF A MICHIGAN SCHOOL
CHOIR ARE DEBUTING TALENTS AFTER
MONTHS OF PRACTICE.
67 FEET TALL AND 300 SENIORS.
ONE LUCKY SENIOR CLIMBS ALL THE
WAY TO THE TOP TO SERVE AS
COVETED ANGEL.
IT IS ALWAYS FUNNY IN THE
HALLWAYS HEARING "JINGLE BELLS"
IN SEPTEMBER.
IT IS A SCHOOL TRADITION AT
MONA SHORES SCHOOL IN MICHIGAN.
THAT IS FASCINATING.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW THEY GET
UP THERE FROM THE BACK OR IF
THEY HAVE TO CLIMB UP.
I THOUGHT MAYBE THEY WERE
STANDING ON THEIR SHOULDERS.
I HOPE NOT.
THAT WOULD BE SO DANGEROUS.
[LAUGHTER].
THAT WOULD BE TRAGIC,
PROBABLY.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
GOOD NIGHT.
