arizona at this point. >> yeah, based on the past week's campaigning that would look likely. and ron paul stayed a lot of time in washington, than he has in the state of michigan. he's in michigan now, but does have an organization here, but it doesn't seem to be a strong emphasis. libeling for newt gingrich you were talking about being in your home state and newt gingrich seems to be putting the chips on the table as far as the georgia contest coming up for super tuesday and parts of five days, including today, just campaigning in georgia. and newt gingrich clearly has got his eye on the state of georgia and winning that one, harris. >> harris: steve brown, good to see you, a lot coming up on the race in the next few days, and on this tuesday, bring you live coverage of the primaries in michigan and arizona beginning at 6 p.m. eastern. next saturday, mitt romney, rick santorum and newt gingrich will all be together for the very last time ahead of super tuesday.

agreement for businesses affected by the deep water horizon accident and oil spill. there can be he no assurance that these discussions will lead to a settlement. and keep in mind, b p's got a huge team of lawyers out here, just preparing for the trial and a huge team of attorneys down here simply working on the settlement talks, these talks have been going on for several months, so far, they have failed to reach a settlement and however, the judge, faces some judicial wisdom here to give them one more week, so it really does indicate at that perhaps, a settlement is closer than it's ever been. >> yeah, so, a lot of people across the country following this, may be wondering, where are we in all of this? this is strictly the civil side, right? not the possible criminal case that could be coming? >> right, justice department still reviewing possible criminal case against bp, as well as trans ocean,

halliburton and anadarko and also, this is involving about 110,000 plaintiffs. these are fishermen, shrimpers, oystermen, hotel and tourism people from all around the gulf of mexico, the attorneys general for indiana, as well as alabama involved in this lawsuit and as is the federal government, the two key points here are the fines and damages that will be leveled and no one has any doubt that it will be in the billions, but the big question is whether bp exercised gross negligence, if they did, that could increase their potential penalties by four fold up to 17 billion dollars. >> oh, the story coming together, late on this sunday evening and appreciate phil keating, you looking into it for us. thank you very much. douglas kennedy, son of robert f. kennedy, and reporter, denying changes he put his

newborn son in danger and attacked two nurses began when he tried to take his son bo for a walk while he and his wife were still in a new york hospital last month. according to reports, the nurses called a child abduction alert and attempt today stop him from leaving the award. the nurses claimed kennedy attacked him. and he calls the allegations absurd and sickening. an emergency room doctor and friend of the kedds who witnessed the whole thing, claims the nurses were the aggressors. fox news chairman and ceo roger ailes said today in a statement, quote, i have known douglas kennedy, his wife personally and professionally over 15 years, he tells the truth and his calm and gentle demeanor always impressed me. he is the definition of a great father and it is a role he cherishes over all others. i support douglas as do the independent witness accounts of the event. it's unfortunate that what appears to be a father's defensive maneuver to protect

his newborn baby has been twisted because of his famous name. in my view, the real moral of the story should be don't try to grab a baby from the arms of a loving father, end quote. the doctor says he witnessed the incident as well and says-- had this to say earlier. for the past 30 years i've been an emergency room physician and served as director or chairman of emergency departments at three new york hospitals and have worked at northern westchester for the past 20 years. i've known douglas kennedy for over 40 years and molly kennedy since before they were married know them both to be extremely good, kind caring parents. i was a witness to the events of january 2012 and feel that douglas would not be putting his child in danger by taking him for a quick walk outside and four nurse floor nurses initially, i witnessed the

incident and can state unequivocally that the nurses were the only aggressors, to charge mr. kennedy with a crime is simply incomprehensible to me. that from the doctor. from douglas kennedy and his wife molly this: these allegations were absurd. we are the parents of five delightful and well cared for children. it is sickening to think that our simple desire to take our son outside for fresh air has been warped into a charge of child endangerment. the nurse had no right to attempt to grab our child out of his father's arms and i, douglas was shocked and appalled when she did so. we sincerely pray that a closer look at the facts. case. firsthand count of the doctor supporting the version of the event and outpouring of support from our neighbors will convince the district attorney she made a grave error in making a crime out of a father protecting his baby, end quote of the family's statement. we'll be right back. stay close. oh!
