her about the claims she made in a chilling jailhouse interview. but the police chief tells fox news her lawyer is making that difficult. cops in pennsylvania hauled miranda barbour into a police station for fingerprinting and photographs. she is now back in her jail cell. the 19-year-old newlywed and her muss are accused of killing a man they lured on craigslist, then stabbed him some 20 times. in an interview with the local newspaper there, she reportedly said the victim deserved to die after offering to pay her for sex even though she told him she was but 16 years old. then her story does not end there. she told the reporter she had actually killed at least 22 people, in fact on the 22nd 22nd kill showing says she stopped counseling. there's nothing to back up the claim. she says she can show police where after all the bodies are buried and looks like the cops are about to call her bluff,

rick, it's no talking today. is that right? >> reporter: according to the court documents miranda and her husband talked about the craigslist killing, admitted they strangled and stabbed the map, tried to clear the blood out of their car, but today she was not talking to us on the way in and out of the police department here in town, and apparently not to police inside, either. the police chief told me he has made a formal request with the public defender to interview her about her claims of being a serial killer with a couple of dozen victims. that interview has not happened. the fbi also wants to speak with her. the chief says he is taking her claims seriously in part because of her documented past as a prostitute. >> people in that subculture meet unfurniture ends all the time -- unfortunate end on both sides. anybody who lives in a big city, knows people die all the time and nobody knows why.

so, in this case, is it possible? yes. is it possible that they're not telling us the truth? yes. >> but it's possible she was turning tricks and then murdering the johns. >> correct. and i wouldn't be the first -- she would not be the first prostitute to do that. >> she has a long criminal history and a -- she was a juvenile at the time. >> she had some sort of involvement in a satanic cult? >> well, she did tell that local reporter that she joined a satanic cult when she was 13. she says that is when she killed for the first time. she also said that being in the cult allowed her to release the evil inside of her. >> she told me she was a high-ranking official on asat tannic panel. i don't know what that means. >> is that one of the reasons she was killing people? >> said when she became involved

in satanism, she was able to embrace her bad side and let it out. >> i'm told there are other unsolved murders in other states being revisited because of the claims by miranda, but so far she has not given police any specific details about any of those crimes, and her lawyer may be trying to prevent that from hoping. so we will have to wait and see. >> thank you very much. we're now hearing hours of jailhouse phone calls from michael dunn. that's the man who killed a 17-year-old when he shot into an suv full of teenagers after after argument over loud music. in the calls, dunn told his fiancee he was the victim. >> i was thinking about this today, and i'm like -- i'm the victim here. i was the one that was being preyed upon, and i fought back. >> boring on delusional. happened in 2012. the calls from the days and months after that in one recording he told his fiancee

and family officials put him in isolation but he said that was better than being in with the general inmate population. >> so being in a room by myself kind of depressing but i guess it is better than being in a room with the animals. >> in the calls he said he hoped jurors would find him not guilty once the case made it to trial. on saturday a jury did convict him of attempted murder, attempting to murder the other three people in the car, but jurors failed to reach a verdict on the murder charge. prosecutors said they will retry him on the measure charge. defense attorneys say they will appeal. when it's all said and done, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars and then ocurrent charges it appears he would. >> a former united states congressman reportedly under arrest for charges including pornography. an official in zimbabwe says police are vesting melvin reynolds, a democrat from illinois. a state controlled newspaper reports cops busted reynolds for

possessing porn and violating immigration law. the paper quotes a source who claims the former congressman made more than 100 pornographic films while failing to pay $25,000 hotel bill. the paper quotes a source who says reynolds overstayed his visa by two months. he has a criminal history, found guilty of statutory rape after he had sex with a campaign worker. president clinton later reduced the sentence. >> the deadliest day yet as angry mobs are in the streets in kiev. i want to show you live pictures from the capitol right now. these fires have been purring -- burning for a couple of hours and there's no word police just started making their way into the main square there, and we don't know what they're going to do but the protesters -- it will

not sit well with them. officials say nine people died today in the violence which has continue nonstop since november. here's what happened them. the ukrainian president aligned the country with russia instead of the european union. the nation seemed divided. the administration wanted to go with the russians, the people wanted european style. it's the battle of east and west. the heart of the demonstrations is in kiev, this main square, the capitol city. the protesters have been lighting fires in independence square, as they call it. today they took over city hall, and at the nearby parliament building demonstrators threw rocks and molotov cocktails at the police. the government's response to the protest has just fanned the flames. in fact i just heard another very loud explosion, and i'm sure you did at home as well. they have been setting off fireworks so it's hard to tell what it happening. the police have been coming from back behind the large statue and

making their way into the square. we see the occasional ambulance, and some police vehicles as well, but so far we have not seen this mass push. reporters on the ground are telling thus the police are making their way in large numbers to the square, we assume to try to disburse the crowd. if that happens, excite be a very long night. demonstrators now demand that lawmakers limit the president's powers. they want an overturn of the government, limiting the president's powers would be a first step. this well will watch throughout the hour. >> around here it's still going. the storm system is making its way out of the northeast but left with a bang when heavy snow collapsed a roof at a strip mall. it's southwest of new newark, nw jersey, nobody hurt in massachusetts officials say they upped their normal supply of road salt by 2,000 to

300,000-tons to meet demand. the national weather service predicts some east coast states would see three to six inches of snow today. our producer has some of the record snowfall totals. new york city, -- >> so far this year, new york city got 51.7 inches. the record was set back in 1995 at 75.6. it's actually the seventh snowiest winter so far. >> we hough ore 12th snow e -- got our 12th snow event this morning. >> yes, indianapolis and philadelphia tied for their third snowiest seasons. indianapolis at 52 inches, philadelphia at 58.4. and chicago got the most, 66.8. the record was set back in 1978 for 89.7. >> there is some hope for us around here. temperatures should move all the way up to 50 by the middle of the week. it's been a long time. janice dean is in the fox extreme weather center,

50 degrees, break out the shorts and bikinis. >> i'm sure we'll see some weird stuff moving down the avenue on friday. let's take a look at the forecast precipitation as this next storm exits. we have another storm sneeking in on wednesday, mainly a rain event but new england getting socked with so much snow in some cases 60 inches of snow, and of course the skiers are enjoying this. so there's our latest storm system exiting. we have this next sneaky system on wednesday, too warm for snow in philadelphia, d.c., and new york, but between, up towards new england, that's where we could get several more inches of snow on wednesday. >> then later in the week and the weekend? >> well, let's take a look. look as the temperatures, especially across the south. little rock, 74. 62, rally. 60 in d.c. 44 in new york. we'll take it. 46 in new york. thursday. friday, the 50s and we'll be

watching severe thunderstorms. avalanche danger. we could get four feet of snow across the cascades. we'll see this low develop across the rockies and then eject out into the planes, they have blizzard watches in the northern plains and upper midwest. and the classic setup for the potential of severe weather, including hail, tornadoes across the mississippi river valley, towards the mid-atlantic and the northeast on friday. take a look at this widespread area where we could be seeing these very strong severe thunderstos on thursday. and then into friday. that's what happens when we get the warmup and then another cold front moves through. if i could real quick -- this is a surface temperatures for what we can expect in -- >> there's your vortex. >> polar vortex, here it comes again. the invasion of another round of the polar vortex. the second half of february. that's below zero here. of course, northern plains.

and this is the 32-degree mark. so below freezing as we head into march. maybe like a lion? >> the end of february is suppose ode to be frigid. >> it's not over yes. enjoy the 50 degrees. break out the bermuda shorts. >> we're getting very troubling reports out of ukraine in just the last few minutes. while janice was giving her weather report. ambulances have moved inch these are live pictures from the capital kiev. we now have confirmation from reporters police are moving in, and this was fires that the protesters had set. the police have now sent stub grenades into the area and that has burned the tent of the protesters who have been there trying to get change in government. you can see this guy putting tires on here. they've set these fires to try to keep the police, who are over there, from getting into this

square and it had been effective. now the police are shooting stun grenades into the crowd, and it's our understanding some of the protesters have been injured. you seek the protesters have staked out the square, like in so many parts of the arab world, and staked out this square, made this their last stand and said, government, we northeast a change. we don't want you aligning with russia. we have to have change in the country. it's come down to a battle in another square, this one independence square. the protesters on this side, and over there the police, and they're making their way in now. there are great fears for what this night will bring. what will police do to the? is who want a change? will this be a bloody night? he hope not. we'll monitor it throughout the afternoon. it's 13 minutes past 10:00 in kiev at this moment. and it does not look good. ♪

>> there's a hearing that could change the entire world of college sports as we know it. the big issue, whether college athletes play for their schools or work for their schools. we first told you about this a few weeks ago. several football players from northwestern university in illinois plan to start their own union.

that the school should treat them as employees. at the he. of this is the quarterback, cane coulter, he says the current system is like a dictatorship. he is testifying about the amount of time he and his teammates prepare, 50 to 60 hours a week saying, and i quote, there's no doubt, it's a job. on the other side ncaa officials long said students are just that, they're students, not employees, but lawyers for the students point to the health risks college athletes are facing and the billions of dollars maybe schools make from sports. garrett is live in chicago. >> this entire case revolves around that one issue, are college football players employees of the university? using cane coulter as an example. they're building the case that the athletes are employees as defined by the nlrb act. the former quarterback for northwestern university spent most of the day detailing the

massive amount of time required by the football players, between 40 and 60 hours a week, during much of the year on top of classes. coulter says he didn't have any issues with the demanding schedule. in fact he said he loved the schedule. but his attorney says his time requirements and the heavy control the coaches have over players' lives, those are part of the employee-employer relationship. attorneys for northwestern just got started doing their cross, of coulter and they're going to try to determine that athletes are students first and employees second. >> how long is this expected to take? >> well, shep, attorneys toll me they expect it to go through the end of this week, possibly next week. a decision is not expected to come for at least several weeks, up to a month after that. the ncaa have said they're keeping a close eye on the earrings as well. if the national labor relations board rules in favor of the players it would open the doors

for players at private universities to join the ununion. public universities would not be affected because they're controlled by state labor laws. but whatever the decision is, both sides have said they plan to appeal this decision to the national board and eventually it could go all the way to the supreme court. so we're still possibly several years away from a decision. >> they'll delay it as long as they can. we're hearing about a surveillance system that looks like a lightning fixture, some officials using the technology to keep an eye on us. how you can spot it. i've been watching big changes happening on our big wall here in kiev. you can hear the explosions happening. down here, these are people who had tents set up. the police are coming from this direction, and they've begun to throw everything they have into this fire over here. one they've set apparently as a

appreciation from the police, and they're throwing everything they have into it. this is just started happening in the last few minutes. we had a i would wider view. this shows the main square and people doing this all along. everything they have that is their property on this side, they're throwing into here. we have also seen some sort of munitions going in that direction. looks like a molotov cocktail. and then you can see some tracers coming back from the police as well, incoming from the area. it's our understanding those are stun grenades. that's what we're hearing from reporters there in the square. so the fires are building as the clock ticks, and police make their way in. you can see them dismantling -- it's not that clear but you can see them dismantling their tenss and throwing them into the fires here. what is this, last-ditch effort to keep the police away? that's what the reporters believe. in a struggle between east and west, a government which wants to align with the russians, and

a populist that wants to align with europe for economic and social reasons and on and on and on. and now it's come to this. another country in turmoil as fox reports live this hour. is this the bacon and cheese diet?

more coverage from ukraine now. we're watching live as medics -- you can see the red crosses on the clothing here -- are carrying the injured out. they're wearing what amounts to miners helmets that keeps the debris from hitting them on the head. we have been told that nine people have died in protests here, including two police officers, and the scene has changed dramatically just since this program has been on the air in last 24 minutes. a moment the camera will pull out and we'll show you the square.

let's look at this over here. this is the scene. chris has it in his. this is an aerial -- thought we had it. >> no, just showing where we are in relation -- this i happening just north of the city hall area in parliament square. >> you got it over here. a preview over here. >> we have the monument. you can see it burning but this is a daytime view. a busy area, a lot of construction going on when this was taken, but clearly right now it's in a mess. >> here what we are talking about. these construction sites are down, and this is the area where all the protesters are. give them a shot of the wall so you can see the ambulance being loaded. we have been watching this a lot and noticed a marked change in the last 25 minutes, a short time ago. the area where the flames are happening, i was telling you

earlier how they set up barricades and tents there. we have seen these scene many places, people are saying, got you're doing this wrong. the police have moved in. we were watching what looked like people throwing their own tents into the fires, its turns out, according to the reporters, those were actually police who were tearing all of their stuff up and burning their property. this, of course, just ambulance workers. if and when the camera pulls out you can see the predicament. it's now police mixed with protesters and it's been a volatile clash over the last 20 minutes or so. not the least of which is these injuries have -- the people have sustained happened all over. they're trying to get ambulances in. the crowd have been parting to the ambulance can come into the square. the camera pull ought now. it's a little distracting,

especially in the dark of night. everyone seems to be wearing helmets-not just police, but protesters as well. you can see the flags of the opposition here and the flames burning, and the monument -- i don't see in this picture, this wall is so big -- i believe that might be the mon independent the corner. you can see the fires are still burping and you can see incoming into the fires the -- there's also fireworks. i understand we have someone on the line -- michael o'hanlon, a senior fellow and director of policy at the brookings institution. >> it's remarkable. sometimes thought of as fairly quiet country, but certainly strategically very important, and who knows where these kinds of pressures can go once they're unleashed? we have seen it, the whole world knows, from watching the arab world but it could be anywhere and now we see it up north as well. >> help our>> help our viewers d

the importance of ukraine. >> close to 50 million people and has two main parts. half is very pro russian or the russian -- a lot of russian speakers, almost an extension of russia in some ways. the other half, much more separate and independent-minded. but it's obviously one of the -- when i think of europe, i think of the giant of germany and britain and france, and then i think half dozen countries of the size of ukraine like spain, poland, italy. 40, 50 million people, that are the heart of the continent in terms of where most people live in terms of what drive the economics and of the former soviet republics, ukraine is a bridge toward the main part of europe, as you know, it's not in nato now, but we sometimes talk as if maybe some day it would

be. the russians hate that idea. it's part of what motivates them to be tough on ukraine, and now the citizenry is speaking up. >> there's been a political and intellectual battle going on here, at least since november if not before. now the physical battle in the streets. i wonder the degree to which the world would have concern this would spread,. >> if think this particular one is confined to ukraine in the short term. but what it will leave people to wonder is how are the western nations getting along with russia? and what does this mean about how any kind of eruptions that made omuir other countries, let's say the baltic states or georgia, again, how will the west and russia interact in this space that has become in a sense the strategically contested space and let's hope it never becomes a militarily contested space again, but this is in the belt of nations that are

watching carefully. some countries are not in nato but look to the west as part of the world. they want to get closer to. russia doesn't want to see them go, and you can imagine tug of war is setting a precedent for hour future indications like this might be addressed. ukraine is important enough that i'm worried less about precedent and worried more about exactly what is happening here right now. >> the whole world is. the battle at hand at the moment is a battle over the reduction of the number of powers the presidency has, because the people want more power to make changes. the president has abscond with the powers. is that the gist? >> yeah there was the move towards some greater economic and political tightening with the west, and then the president sort of had second thoughts. this is not going to be a military issue. d political. and he essentially did things capriciously and on his own when the whole country thought the decision had been made in just

the opposite direction, so it's not a just a theoretical question of distribution of power. it's the specific way recent decisions about affiliating more closely with the european union were handled and what this says about yanukovych. >> have been watching very closely to see what is happening here. some of these people appear to be protesters. some of these people appear to be police. but they've all enup in an area right next to each other. and though we haven't seen hand-to-hand fighting we have seen incoming and outgoing, which leads me to believe there are police and protesters mixed together. that's one area. look at this over here. you can see them carrying the flag and throwing more and more debris into the fires. the fire an effort to keep the police away. now it appears we have somewhat organized chaos, and continuing ambulances in and out of this

square. we see outgoing right here people are shooting in that direction. so we can only assume the police are in that direction. continuing coverage of a major outbreak of violence in ukraine. (announcer) scottrade knows our clients trade

heat resistant clothing of some kind. you can see them from time to time. the protests are going in a violent direction. we'll have continuing coverage right after this commercial break. óqoqúúñ@

>> continuing coverage from ukraine first the white house is playing down reports that it plans to press the taliban to release the only known american soldier still in captivity. what i did not just said and should have said, there is word we're about to trade prisoners for our prisoner. our prisoner, they have him. we want him back, and we're talking about trading with them. according to the white house there are no active negotiations with the taliban, as if they would tell news the first place. that's in response to a report in the "washington "washington " newspaper, indicating they're going to trade detainees in guantanamo bay for the lieutenant bergdahl.

let's bring in jonathan gilliam, a former navy seal officer and former fbi special agent. makes no sense they would talk about such a thing and every bit of sense they would have behind the scenes negotiations. >> once you let this get out the bag -- cat out of the bag, it's out. it's hard to go back and say we're not going to negotiate. it's a slippery slope when you negotiate these things. this whole thing about going over there and exchanging prisoners is a slippery slope. once you do that somebody is else is going to kidnap somebody else and you have the ransom issue and it's becomes bigger and bigger. >> look to further than israel for direct confirmation of that. hundreds of prisoners -- and one argue. is that if you're going to exchange, give something to someone, they'll just take more prisoners. >> right and that is the

slippery slope. you have to take a neutral stance because people try to use the israeli argument but the fact is we're not israel. we're not surrounded by the enemy. and it's harsh but the truth is, going and doing this exchange for the sergeant does nothing for our war on terror. nothing. what it does, though, it send as message to in the military saying we're not going to leave you behind. that's the one saving grace. and people i talked to in the military, one big concern with a lot of people is why he left his post to begin with, and there could be the case, if he is -- they do the exchange and he comes back, he could come over and face charges for abandoning his post. >> so that everyone understands, the beginning of this story, the devil is in the details often -- the beginning is an unexplained disappearance, absence from duty, think they call it awol. he went awol. >> there's several different

stories. >> we know something was awry. >> and we also know for sure, shep, when you go down the road -- there's a reason why we stopped doing this in beirut so many years ago. once you go down that road, there's going to be more and more of these kidnappings, and literally al qaeda in places like yemen have been able to build a war chest of millions of dollars to fund their actions through kidnappings. >> well, you know, the family, i see his father with his long beard, living living in afghani, trying to get his son back, and your heart bleeds for him and it's hard to figure out the right thing to do. >> i wish we could have been able to exercise the rescue mission for him, regardless of why he left. that's the way it should be done. unfortunately it hasn't happened. >> it maybe. so good to see you. thank you. >> for the first time since the report on the miami dolphins' bullying scandal came out richie incognito is apologizing.

this could be of great significance. on friday the attorney who the nfl hired to investigate the dolphins released his report. he found that richie incognito and other teammates often red could former laneman jonathan martin. incognito himself took to twitter. we haven't heard from him, and it seems to me this could portend very interesting things for the future. >> absolutely. richie incon neat to last night in california returning to the twitter universe after having quit on friday when ted wells' report came out, basically calling what incognito did, bag ringleader of the bullying and implicating other members of the offensive line and the dolphins organization. some tweets incognito put out, i would like to apologize to mr. ross, the opener of the dolphins, and mr. wells, the

investigator for the nfl, curse word, got cray cray, my bad. he also said i want everyone to know i'm in good spirits and looking forward to playing again one day. unclear who is going to take him. he was once voted dirtiest player in the nfl described as the ringleader of the bullying by the investigator, and he did apologize to jonathan martin specifically, the stanford graduate and offensive lineman who quit after being punked one too many times. >> any word on possible punishment from the nfl? >> i checked with the nfl. they haven't got back to me. the vice-president of corporate communications said, quote, no update concerning a timeline. we're reviewing the report and will have further comment as appropriate. it's not just richie incognito who is facing discipline, fines and or punishment but mike pouncey, offensive center, john jerry, offensive guard, the offensive line coach, jim

turner, who ted wells, the nfl's investigator all found were deceptive in answer and less than truthful. so perhaps during the offseason the fate of these players and the coaches within the dolphins organization will be known to all of us. >> all right, phil keithing live in south florida. we have more disturbing reports owl of ukraine. we just got a tweet from a bbc reporter who is on scene, and the bbc tweet -- i should say blog -- from a blog -- the opposition leader just urged the protesters to defend the camp, quoting now with english translation, we will not go anywhere. this is an island of freedom and we will defend it. protesters are bringing in everything they can to barricade and all of their belongings to burn as a shield of fire according to bbc and reuters reporters. everybody is in hard hats.

the fighting is escalating and not de-escalating. our coverage continues here right after this.

13 minutes now before 11:00 p.m. in kiev. and listen in the main square. the speaker you hear in the background is the opposition leader who has been speaking for the better part of a half hour and telling the people we must defend this area. you see this line of fires right? when you were in the commercial break they widened out so we could get a better look, and i pulled occupy a street view. this is the big statue we were seeing in the background. this is an underground mall here. this is the main shopping street. so these fires appear to be set right here.

this is ukraine ya hotel, and this main street is where the protesters are. milling in this area, and all through here is where these fires are. so we presume that the police are coming from the ukrainian hotel from this area, trying to get through here. this where is the fire wall is, and you can see the protesters on the wall -- look at this guy who is fueling the flames with whatever it is they can find. it's our understanding a lot of the tents they were sleeping in, in this square, have now been thrown in. you can see people -- you can see fires going here and they create that really thick black smoke, of course, pieces of furniture there, and they appear to eave an assembly line here set up to get more and more of this flammable stuff into the fire. so they're all over the area. you get an idea how closely we're zoomed in here because of the size of this human here. but the fires are burning higher. the political tensions are growing, and the organizers of the protests are now saying

defend this spot now. this is an island of freedom and we will notandon it. john buse is in studio. business editor for "the wall street journal." this is very disturbing. >> alan is in kiev for us. in a way there's some immediate recent developments that led to the outburst of violence again. this is in a way a legacy of the dissolution of the soviet union. in november, ukraine had to do whether to go in the direction of a new trade deal with the european union and look west, or was it going to bow to russia's pressure to take a bailout and stay more closely tied with russia. that's when this problem began. yanukovych decided then orussian option. protesters wanted closer tires to the european union. since then we have had this

on-again-off-again violence. >> the president has taken more power than the people believe he deserves. >> yes. so yanukovych has offered to make the prime minister, somebody from the opposition -- the opposition feels this is just a paper way of getting past these problems, they won't have real power. so why do we have violence again now? well, just recently in the last day or so, the ukraine -- got additional commitment from rich for 2 billions in aid. russia had been holding out. it has a billion package for ukraine. russia wanted yanukovych to get things under control. so the perception in ukraine, one popular rein is that yanukovych reassured russia, it's under control'll keep the opposition from any substantial role in the government and russia therefore ponied up the

money. so what might have been good for ukraine, additional funding in the economy, was taken as a bad sign by the protesters. >> thank you. our coverage from ukraine continues after this. i'm sorry, i'm just really reluctant to try new things. really? what's wrong with trying new things? look! mommy's new vacuum!
