coffee. >> reporter: you might call them pocket knives or swiss army knives, have blades smaller than 2.6 inches, a little bit longer than, say, your house key. lonts list of newly allowed things to carry on are ski poles, lacrosse stick and bill yard cues. of course, frederica, not hearing many arguments about those things, clearly unwieldy, it is the knifes that are the main issue here. as senator schumer saying, he thinks because they can folksily hurt an individual, that's one reason that flight attendants are very concerned about this as well. tsa you however, sees things very differently. from tsa's perspective this is about their job being a priority on trying to prevent terrorists from taking over an entire plane. the tsa says that cockpits are protected now, small knifes can no longer get a terrorist to the plane's controls but the tsa says hunting for those knives can distract their officers from finding those bigger threats. now, those changes are supposed to go into effect in april,

frederica buts here the thing. senator schumer says that if the tsa does not reverse this itscy on its own, he will file a bill to force them to do it. >> okay. meantime, lisa, there's something else impact air control towers. what is going on with that? >> reporter: i don't know how often you fly out of small airport, one in columbus, georgia, for example, a metropolitan airport that may have to close its control tower because of the forced budget cuts. here is another one we are looking at in this video, an airport in hagerstown, maryland. as a lot of folks know, tsa is going to have to furlough some of its air traffic controllers and what tsa has decided to do is just close control towers in the smaller airport bus it's more than 200 of those airports could be affected. they are all on a list. this week is the decisive one. these airports have until wednesday to make their best case for why they should be taken off that list, why they

should be allowed to keep their control tower open. then a week from tomorrow, fred, we will get the final list of which airports will be closed. >> all right, lisa -- >> i'm sorry, which control towers will be closed. the airports may be able to stay open without the control towers. >> thanks so much for that clarification. appreciate it, lisa, in washington. overseas now, in afghanistan, president hamid karzai say cushion the united states and the taliban of working together to scar the afghan people. karzai said both sides want to convince afghans that things will worsen if foreign troops leave the country. he was reacting to a bombing in kabul yesterday, which killed at least nine people during a visit by chuck hagel. a visit by karzai and hagel was canceled but the two did meet privately. >> we did discuss those comments. i told the president it was not true, that the united states was unilaterally working with the taliban in trying to negotiate anything.

the fact is any prospect any prospects of peace or political settlements, that has to be led by the afghans. >> hagel visited with u.s. and afghan troops to thank them for their service. as thousands of american tourists head to mexico for spring break, the recently pointed a tourism minister of a at the vatican, cardinals are preparing for an historic week. i asked ben wedeman which is the strongest contenders. >> reporter: every day, you see a list of the top contenders, a guessing game at this point. there are three -- two major trends when it.does to the top candidates, those outside the roman curia interested in seeing a new face, somebody who can manage the affairs of the vatican.

the traditionalists are looking more in the direction of angela scola, the cardinal from milan. he is a man who has got one foot in the italian catholic church and another foot in the vatican, somebody who knows very well the affairs of the vatican state. but then you hear other names, for instance, like peter turkson of ghana, that he is somebody that those who want to see a completely different character to the papacy, they would like to see somebody like him. as i said, every single day you hear different candidates being discussed and at this point, we are just going to have to wait, frederica, for that white smoke. >> thank you so much, ben wedeman in rome. here in the u.s., a terrible accident.

six teenagers are kill and two others injured in a single car accident in warner, ohio. police say a honda suv went off the road around 7:00 this morning, hit a guardrail and then rolled of near a pond. divers were called in to help rescue the injured. police say it looked like the car was overloaded and no one was wearing a seat belt. a federal jury has granted one of the largest civil rights ver doikts an ohio man who spent 11 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. david aers was awarded $13.2 million for wrongful prosecution and imprisonment. the 56-year-old former security officer was freed in 2011 after dna tests cleared him in the killing of a 76-year-old woman at the public housing complex where he worked. he talked about what it felt like when he finally got his freedom. >> i was in tear it is. i was just crying because, i

mean, my -- you know, i'm finally free after 11 years, for a crime that i was accused of. >> the city attorney in cleveland, which is on the hook to pay, says officials are "disappointed" and considering their options. in dozens of countries around the world where women are considered second-class citizens and people are imprisoned for being gay, a new document will soon ban all forms of discrimination. the document is a new charter for the commonwealth of nations. the commonwealth is a voluntary group of 54 independent nations headed up by britain's queen elizabeth. tomorrow, the queen will sign the charter. i asked cnn's royal correspondent, max foster, the significance of all of this. >> reporter: this is the first time that the commonwealth has had a single doctrine setting out the core values of the organization and the aspiration of its members.

as you say, there will be an element of this document that opposes all forms of discrimination, whether in gender, race, color, creed, political belief or other grounds. and those other grounds being -- the feeling is that is about sexuality. they didn't want to put sexuality in there because some countries involved here actually have -- don't have sexuality laws. so there is some sensitivity about it, but what this whole exercise really is about is having a core set of values that gets rid of all forms of discrimination. and 54 countries have agreed to it and the queen is signing it, so it does become a formal agreement between these countries. >> the signing will be the first public appearance for the queen since being hospitalized for that stomach bug a week ago. all right. on to sports, tiger woods is holding onto the lead through eight holes today at the cadillac championship in doral, florida. he just birdied the tenth home get the latest on tigers a progress on bleacherreport.com.

do you have the bug, elected office bug? >> the elected office bug? i don't know, i haven't given that much thought. i loved being governor, it was a blast. eight years was enough, but it

was certainly one of the greatest thrills of my life to be able to serve the people of florida. so i -- i miss that from time to time, but i -- as i said, i got a great life right now. >> jeb bush has not been on the ballot in years but the former florida governor has been making all the rounds of the television talk show, particularly today. he is being asked a lot about 2016. joining us now is john avlon, a cnn contributor and senior political columnist for news week and the daily beast. okay, so are we look ac at jeb bush who is poising himself for consideration for a run in 2016? >> reporter: well, i mean, he certainly said he has not ruled anything out and that's usually politician code for i'm thinking seriously about a run, but what's really fascinating, fred, is that he has got so many folks who are pressing him so run because the bushes are an unlikely dynasty and the fact that they are looking potentially at a third bush to run for president sun precedented in american political history, so the mere fact there's fascination and a

drive to have him run itself is a totally unchart chartered territory in our country's history. >> it's interesting, even when he is asked about it directly, he is saying i am not thinking about that right now but neighbor a year, i'm following start talking about it or thinking about it more seriously, so he is not ruling it out. >> reporter: definitely not. here's what's significant. first of all, we are a world away from 2016. 29014 midterms are still far, far away but we do focus on the next presidential race. it's an open seat in 16 and the bushes have the benefit, and in jeb's kirks of a brand name identity. what is sigg nant gant now, he is promoting a book about immigration reform called "immigration wars". this is not the traditional way people reached out for the republican nomination to run as a policy wonk and potential party reformer and to grab hold of the third rail of immigration reform, that itself a pretty

gutsy tri gutsy inlt throw deuce yourself to the republican senator >> how does that serve him well, particular any this republican climate? >> reporter: i think you have seen a sea change in the way the country approaches immigration reform. one of the takeaways from the 2012 republican election from republicans, they got decimated by lack of support from spirks mitt romney getting 26%, down from 44% george w. bush got in 2004. jeb bush particular lakers popular swing state governor of florida has a demonstrated ability to reach out to hispanic voters that is someone who has got credibility on this issue. all of a sudden, those forces in the past that have banded to the base and polarized on the issue of immigration in the republican party that stopped his brother from getting immigration reform done in 2007, all of a sudden there, is a sea change in opinion. and bush is try took force for that change, a bipartisan group in the senate and now jeb bush, with his book, trying to push for comprehensive immigration reform now, that is a serious difference than, for example, when mitt romney tried to play to the base and oppose

immigration reform and he certainly paid price for that >> marco rubio is kind of the candidate that many have been seeing as one who would appeal to the latino voters among republicans. but jeb bush, like you said, i has had great appeal among latinos, particular any florida. he speaks spanish and often times would take that opportunity to speak spanish, so it seems like he is the full package, considering republican party wants very much to, i guess, broaden its base and appeal to a more diversified crowd. >> reporter: absolutely. look, demographics are destiny. the republican party realized they have an existential problem, unless they can reach out beyond a base of old, white men, frankly. marco rube gee protege of jeb bush in the florida state legislature but the bushes have the ability to bridge the old northeastern establishment to the extent it still exists, sun belt conservatives, national security hawks and jeb reach doubt to out to hispanics with

credibility. he says in his book we need to reach out not just to hispanic bus gays, african-americans and single women that itself is a recognition the republican party needs to reform and reach out and you exactly the kind of mess ant next republican nominee is going to need to have, whether it is jeb bush or somebody else. >> john avlon, always good to see. thank you so much. >> thanks, fred, you, too. as the u.s. economy gets better, prices go up. should you be prepared to pay more? we will find out. plus the great and powerful but is the new oz movie making money at the box office? we will explore.

she is the head of the new york city council, now christine quinn wants to replace michael bloomberg as mayor. >> it's very exciting to get to be here right across the street from the church where my parents were married and my sister was baptized and my father -- my grandfather was buried from right near where my mother grew up to announce that today, i'm announcing i am officially running to be the mayor of the great city of new york. >> if elected, she will become new york's first female and first openly gay mayor. if you live in new york or just visiting, your coffee order may soon get a little complicated. it's all part of mayor michael bloomberg's ban on big, sugary drinks take effects on tuesday and complying with the new rules isn't as easy as you might think. cnn's mary snow has the story. >> reporter: frederica, it's complicated. lattes wouldn't change because they have milk.

could have business it sugar, that's another story. at least one coffee chain is operation its customers we found many who were surprised to learn of the breadth of the city ban. along with that cup of coffee, a side order of new rules. duncan doughnuts is handing out these fliers to its new york city customers on how new regulations spills over into its coffee business u it's part of the ban on super-sized sugary drinks that goes into effect tuesday as part of the city effort to fight obesity. to comply, duncan doughnut plus no longer put sugar in coffee over 16 ounces, you will have to do-it-yourself. >> i'm surprised. i thought it was just like, soda and iced teas. >> it's annoying. i beit's unnecessary so many other things to worry about in this city. >> reporter: city isn't banning restaurants from shut putting sugar in coffee. the department of health says the limit for bar reis ta is four packets of sugar for 20

ounces and customers themselves can add as much sugar as they want but dunkin' donuts wants to cut down on confusion. mcdonald's says it will tell customers to add their own sugar in coffee over 16 ounces. both places say they have been prepping workers to be ready. at restaurants, sodas this size is what the city doesn't want served. this this 20 ounces. this one is still okay. it's 12 ounce and customers can order as many as they want. but at restaurants like this one that prides itself on texas-sized servings, it makes a difference. >> everything is big. >> reporter: eric levine is the director of dallas barbecue, which has ten restaurants. are you going to stop using those 20-ounce glasses? >> we will when the law says we have to right now, we are sort of in a limbo and allowed by constituent law to hold off until i think about june. >> reporter: the city says it will not enforce violations for three months as restaurants adjust. levine is waiting to see the result of a lawsuit filed by restaurants, beverage companies and others to try to stop the city from its ban on super-sized

drinks. he estimates all the changes will cost his business tens of thousand of dollars and plenty of headaches. >> a lot of aggravation, menu changes, sign changes, digital boards, facebook, websites, information, training, posi-touch computers, everything. >> reporter: another company holding off making changes right away is starbucks. it says there are some gray areas that it's sorting through and you it's using you the city's three-month evaluation period to take a look at what changes it needs to make to be in compliance. frederica? >> all right, thanks so much, mary. let's talk more about this. let's bring in greg mocker, reporter or new york's picks 11 news at ten. you have been covering this story from the very beginning. these restrictions are pretty tight. are folks a little hot over it? >> it is new york. so i'm going to have to hand sanitize some of the stuff that i heard on the subway. >> keep it clean. >> yeah, you know, i do want to be invited back. i was there when the health

commissioner announced this, you know, they try to tell thanks it is about information. i don't think anybody is going to disagree we don't need to make health choices. i'm not sitting here saying 1id 9 big gulps today. i know has sent some of my friends running to the 7-11 to get a big gulp or load up on sugary drink, driving us crazy. i went and had my coffee this morning, mary mentioned that in the report this is the thing i got. breaks down what we can and cannot add or can can or cannot have this particular company. just for the record, i had mine black. so -- >> okay. no problem with the sugar? >> no but what if they start coming -- coming for the caffeine content or something? then we are going to have a serious problem, right? >> overall. what are your new yorker friends saying about the mayor's efforts to get people to slim down by cutting back on their sugary drinks now there's discussion

about the mayor saying he wants people to tone it down on their ear buds, regulation on how loud your music and your information would be blasting through your ears, a lot of regulations likely to sweep through the city if the mayor has his way. >> yeah he doesn't like it when i ask him or when somebody suggests it's the nanny state, but that's what we say out on the street around here, because we know what we have to do w he want to have the choice though. and when there are so many work-arounds, when, you know, another major coffee chain has said we are not going to do anything until we see if this court things goes through related to the sugary ban, you know, when things just don't make sense, when you can still go to the grocery store and buy as much pop, soda pop, soda pop we call it in new york, i am from ohio, we call it pop, work arounds that make us shake our head and say we get the message, but you know, i know that i'm frustrated, as somebody who just likes to question the government whenever they bring up a

regulation. look what happened with the tsa saying that now you can bring a knife on but i can't bring my big bottle of shampoo, it is just like, okay, i understand these regulations but really? where's -- the common sense behind it is people are going to drink what they want. and now this is selling more soda cups almost. >> yeah. okay. and so people are expressing their frustration and the mayor says what? >> he says it's about information and he wants us to have to think about refilling that 13 or 14 times. you know what i think people probably already are because hopefully we are all noticing that our waistlines can sometimes get a little big and our pants don't fit. we can't blame the mayor for that. we have to make those personal choice there is, but now they kind of limit, again, if i order a pizza, they can't send a two-liter of pop or soda, they can't send that and that's just one of those things. so, now i have to buy -- say you're trying to have a nice

saturday night with your family, now i have to buy five smaller someone in >> stretch it out? >> yep. >> best you can. greg mocker, thanks so much, good to see you and all the best. cheers. all right, marijuana, well, it's a cash crop right now for drug traffickers, but as two states get ready for legal sales of pot, lots of people are figuring out how they can make money off of that. that is, if the feds don't step in. clear, huh? i'm not juice or fancy water. i've got nine grams of protein. that's three times more than me!

>> reporter: the liquor board says it expects to pay less than $100,000 for the pot consultant and may divide the work up to four bidders. the announcement among the winning bids may come as early as next week. for the winner or wins, it could be euphoria, for does of losers, reefer sadness. paul vercammen, cnn, los angeles. all right. sure, everybody just read it is for the articles, but this time, you've got read from right to left.
