we hear a lot about molds being too cindiny, right, but this model wanted to be weightless. kate upton for sport"sports illustrated" 50th swimsuit issue wanted to be weightless. president obama now warning ukraine's president to back down. you heard it in the last hour, in the last few minutes. that's as the ukrainian government doubles down, with officials saying they will come down hard on people they call terrorists, not protesters, all whom others call citizens, fighting for their say in their own future. let's get to it. >> now, shepherd smith reporting live from the fox news desk. >> good afternoon from the deck, 3:00, new york city. president obama says he condemned the spiraling violence across the ukraine after that country's bloodiest fighting since the days of the soviet union. we have a live look inside the fiery scene, ukraine's capital

city. when this happened yesterday, we were stunned to see it. in fact, the world was. this country is known as so peaceful, certainly divided politically and economically, socially and in so many ways, even down to the language. yet violent is so rare here until now. president obama blasted the ukrainian government today for a deadly crackdown on protesters in the second day. the ukrainian government shows no signs of letting up, in fact, quite the opposite of t today, announcing a new anti-terrorist operation. quite a word it describe people fighting for their life. at least 25 people died in yesterday's explosive protests, including police protesters and a journalist. hundreds were hurt. it happened as riot cops stormed the protesters' camp which came only hours after russia pledged to restore its multibillion bailout package for the ukrainian government.

you can see how this comes together. that highlights exactly what this fight is really all about. whether ukraine will line up with the former soviet union or instead, align itself with europe and other western nations, including the united states. i want to show you on the map just how this tug-of-war works out. here is the ukraine, russia over here, of course. there is a bit of a dividing line, it is pretty harsh, right along here, with those on this side to the west aligning with the west. and for those on this side and to the east aligning with russia. in fact, the vast majority of the people in this half of ukraine speak russian as a first language, but not over here and the government is left in the middle. a democratically elected government, which the people say, many of them, has overstepped its bounds. the protest started months ago when ukraine's president decided to cozy up with the kremlin that outraged people who want ukraine to be more like europe, to align with europe. they seize government buildings, they occupy this independent square where always all this is happening, in the heart of kiev

and created this ring of fire in an attempt to keep the cops away. we have dramatic pictures of of all this coming in as it has been coming from ground. a lot are astounding it shows the individual choices that people are make and what a big deal this is to them. this is a picture that comes to us, whoa, as it gets out of control, this one astounded all of us. this is a man whose body is burning, his cloths are on fire, the back of his head is on fire. his hands over his face. the protesters were trying to overtake police barricades outside the parliament building when this went down. this next one, this is a line of police with their barricades, all making a line along the way. you can see all the debris down on the ground after days, 24 hours of protests and fires burning there. this is an overturned police vehicle, mass people have overturned this police car, according to those on the ground. witnesses reported seeing several police officers burned alive in an armored car. you can see everybody here's wearing these blue masks.

one guy over here, this guy actually, the scarf over his face, because the acrid smoke in the air, tires and everything else burning there for so long. and here you see protests stretching far outside the ukraine. this is chicago, where demonstrators are gathering outside the ukrainian consulate. it's been an extremely difficult time. another live look now at kiev. the white house is considering several option, including slapping ukraine with tough economic punishment. let's get to our amy kellogg who is live for us this afternoon from moscow. amy? >> reporter: sheppard, as you mentioned, this is a tug-of-war between east and west, but frankly, a lot of people are asking, since ukraine is wedged between east and west and 25 years nearly after the end of the cold war why should the ukrainians even have to make this decision? but they are dealing with this right now. the latest news tonight is that the president has fired the chief of the armed forces, no explanation for that was given, but it is known that that chief

of staff had expressed some resist tense to the idea when it was floated about setting a state of emergency in ukraine. now, if the military does get involved in this so-called anti-terrorist operation, this will really be upping the ante, raising the stakes, because the military, until now, has not been involved in all of this. it has been riot police. russia, giving funds to ukraine, but now, holding back because apparently, they don't want to give money to a country that clearly does not have control of its population. the russians and the ukrainian government are referring to what's going on as an attempted coup and the ukrainian security services, sheppard, tonight, are saying that they believe that at least 1500 guns have been stolen from military depose across the country. shep? >> amy kellogg live just after 10 until moscow. monitoring some of the wild scenes showing kiev as a bit of a war zone. protesters', tents, police cars,

have burned. you can see the ribbon of mon hoarse stretch around the news deck here. so far, the fighting shows no sign of stopping. with us now a "wall street journal" correspondent who is on the ground in ukraine. his name is alan callson and he is live in kiev. alan, good evening. >> good evening. >> tell us what you're seeing on the ground there. i know you've been covering this and we have been reading your articles at wsj.com. what changes are you seeing tonight? >> police and protesters looking out over each other through a charred no man's land. [ inaudible ]

>> from all we have heard from the government and leaders of the protesters today, doesn't sound like there is much wiggle room here. i listened to one of the politicians on the side of the protesters said today, speaking to the president, you will end like gadhafi, he said, either you, a par wry site, will stop killing people or this fate will await you. remember that, dictator. the rhetoric is at a high mark. >> well, they did have a meeting very early this morning, two main opposition leaders here. [ poor audio ] forced them to wait than an hour to see them. [ poor

>> i wonder what's your sense of citizen versus citizen, those from the west, align more with the west, those from the east of the country who align more with the old soviet union. is there a sense of neighbor on neighbor here or have we not come to that, hopefully? >> well, i don't think it's come to it yet. that's the danger that lingers. you know, culturally, there are [ [ poor audio ] -- was part of the -- empire in the 1800s, but -- closer to europe. [ poor audio ]

the people protesting now tend to be more from central or western. although the protests have [ inaudible ] even in eastern portions of the country where they are expressing displeasure, just the way the country has been governed, just the level of corrupti corruption. >> serious danger of a regional split. alan, we are looking at the pictures you have taken in the region there over the last day or so. and i'm wondering as i walk over to the wall to show these fires, the fire there is at independence square frankly make it look like armageddon. the closeness of the lens can sometimes distort the reality. i wonder what the situation is beyond this area. >> it's relatively -- other parts of kiev are much more peaceful. things have changed a bit here

because they are trying to seal off the city, prevent other protesters from coming n the subway system has been shut down a lot of shops are not opening. just ramp paint violence around the city. >> a reporter for "the wall street journal" owned by the parent company of this network, his fine work is available now and always at wsj.com. alan, all the best to you. thank you so much. >> thank you. russia, of course is clearly a major player in this ukraine crisis. it's russia that's given them money, a couple billion dollars, russia that said align with us, the government there that has. the russians having the olympics at this moment, the last thing they want is this uprising and that potentially, at least, why the government is trying to put it down. russia's also a major player in the syrian civil war. the horrors of both nations still unfolding. we will have the latest from the fox news deck. this is sheppard smith reporting on a wednesday afternoon. it's good to have you in. ♪

13 minutes past the hour. the president is re-evaluating america's strategy in syria's civil war, according to administration officials today. they say the biggest concern is that this crisis can open up safe havens for terrorists who

can co-plot attacks again the united states and others. amateur video reportedly shows regime mortgagers striking rebel positions in syria this week. we can't confirm the authenticity of this footage. just yesterday, secretary of state john kerry emphasized the crisis has no military solution, nothing worth putting u.s. boots on the ground. he also accused the syrian dictator, bashar al assad, of stonewalling peace talks. secretary kerry called for russia, one of president assad's biggest allies to push the syrian leader to negotiate with the rebels. a watchdog group estimates, get this, 136,000 people have died in the three-year-long civil war. and american officials warn president assad is now gaining the upper hand. move over, show you where syria is, the heart of it all, the reason there is such a problem where it is located in the middle east, neighbors iraq, lebanon and our al like of course, israel. ed henry is live at the white

house with what is another in a series of difficult situations in the white house. ed? >> reporter: as youly that out on that map, why you've got strategic national security interests for the united states and why nearly two years ago, the president said at a news conference here at the white house that there's this red line for him, that if assad were to use chemical weapons, woe cross a red line and more importantly, the u.s. would make sure there were, in the president's wores, enormous consequences for assad. the president walked up to the line last year of u.s. military action, pulled back in part because assad said he would turn over his chemical weapons. those weapons now are not being turned over around instead, assad is moving forward around still killing his own people with conventional weapons, a point i pressed with jay carney. >> turns out assad is not turning over weapons. >> ed, you are con playing in the the two things. >> then you said he was turning them over, but he is not. >> the president -- first of all no question that the assad regime has blown some deadlines. >> now, jay carney went on to

say though that there was an achievement nor administration that assad at least admitted finally he has stockpiles of weapons and agreed energy part with russia to help turn them over. as we all know, he's not turned them over, shep. >> how is the white house pushing back on this, ed? >> you mentioned secretary of state john kerry. he's been running point for the president here saying, look there's no easy solution for anyone that's why this civil war has dragged on for three years and that particularly, even if, that's big if, the u.s. were to move forward with military action, you'd need a political solution to pave wait for a post-assad syria to make sure it doesn't devolve into even more chaos. here's secretary kerry. >> there is no military solution. we all agree on that. so you have to continue to pursue a political path if you're going to find a way to solve the problem. >> a fair point from secretary kerry but he is -- key officials also said that the president has asked his aides again, as you noted, for options here. and that's something the

president's critics have pounced on, saying why is the president still looking at "options" three years in a civil war? >> ed henry out in the yard at the white house. ed, thanks very much. well, ahead, an attack on a cruise ship, a state room attendant, so an employee accused of hiding in a passenger's cabin, raping her and then trying to throw her overboard. today, how the feds say this passenger fought back and sent her half-naked attacker scrambling off the balcony. how safe are these cruise ships? that's coming up. okay ladies, whenever you're ready. thank you. thank you. i got this. no, i'll get it! no, let me get this. seriously. hey, let me get it. ah, uh. i don't want you to pay for this. it's not happening, honey. let her get it. she got her safe driving bonus check from allstate last week. and it's her treat. what about a tip? oh, here's one... get an allstate agent. nice!

fbi agents say a cruise ship worker now admits he did indeed rape a passenger and he did throw her overboard to cover up the crime, or tried to.

he wasn't able to get to that. and he did it it all because he said she insulted him. this is said to have happened on friday, valentine's day, on a clothing-optional holland america cruise right off the coast of honduras at the time. according to the fed's report, the attacker, an indonesian man, this man, was the victim state room attendant. the man claims he got angry after he tried deliver breakfast to the woman earlier in the day. he says he knocked on the door three times, then he says he heard the woman say, and i quote, "wait a minute, you son of a bitch." that, he says, is when he took himself forward and considered an insult to himself and his family. later, the man says he used his master key to break into the victim's state room, hid on her balcony outside the room, then fell asleep on a chair before the woman finally got back. according to court documents which refer to the passenger by her initials only, as clw was falling asleep, an unidentified

male began choking and punching her repeatedly. the suspect also strangled her with several items, including a telephone cord around the cord to her curling eye on. the feds may seat man beat her with a laptop and the victim claims she hit her attacker in the groin and tried to stab him with a corkscrew. and that while they were on the balcony, he attempted to push her overboard. a horrifying story, no document the man did escape, without any pants, mind you can and reportedly jumped from balcony to balcony until he was able to break into another state room. eventually, the man turned himself in and cop fessed. now, police say the victim was so severely injured that work hearse to airlift her to a hospital in south florida and that's where phil keaton is with the rest of this story from there let's start with the suspect. why is he now, phil? >> reporter: hey, shep, he is still up in fort lauderdale at the broward county jail on hold for the u.s. marshal's service. this attack happened in international waters of off the coast of honduras, so the fbi arrested e ed the 28-year-old m

charged with attempt to commit murder and aggravated sexual assault. he first sought his revenge on top, the lido deck, but far too crowded on valentine's night. after the attack in her room, she then escaped into the hallway where an unidentified passenger rendered first aid. per the complaint, he witnessed clw exit her cabin wearing only a tank top covered in blood, had a curling iron wrapped and tangled around her neck and the victim, fearing death was imminent, asked the passenger to relay to her family how much she loved them. later on board the ship, she did get some medical treatment and did concept to a sex assault exam, shep. >> you know, we have could have odor is many stories where these cruise lines are criticized for underreporting crimes on board. how did holland america handle this? >> reporter: by all, can the right by the book. you know, the u.s. has an act, called the u.s. vessel security and safety act. and that requires all crimes on

the high seas like this to be reported to the fbi. this was, the coast guard reports, from january 2012 through last september, there were ten cases of sex assaults involving a crew member and a passenger. in this case, who will land america detained the suspect and kept him detained until returning to florida and immediately handed him over to federal agents. holland america also flew the victim's family to florida to be at her side. "while no words can adequately express our shock in this event, this has shaken the entire holland american family to our very core. our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim and her family during this difficult time. and the fact that this woman fought back so vigorously on valentine's day night almost certain slit reason, shep, she is alive today. >> wow. that is incredible. thanks very much, phil keating in south florida. i want to get to our producer who had a look where this happened. we were curious about the state rooms and how this sort of thing might have gone down. i guess we looked it up. what do these rooms look like?

>> holland america would not tell us what floor -- what deck she was on, but on their website, they have a virtual tour. here's deck four. one of the stwhooets actually has a balcony in it. as you can see outside, you know, they have the chairs and, you know, as you were saying, you know, he was outside, slept on one of those chairs and then later in the night, he broke in and that's went assault took place. >> used a master key to get in the room, you assume over there, came out on the balcony hid there >> hid there waited until she got in there about to go to sleep and that's when he made his attack. >> chris, thanks very much. take this to a lawyer, why don't we? mercedes cohen is with us, fox news contributor of sorts, you taken cruises? >> i have. i'm not sure i'd want to do it after this story. >> the thing about it is, and i have read so much today about how difficult it is on certain occasions, on certain lines, to prosecute this sort of thing. and what easy pickin's people can be.

>> it's exactly right. the three things you have to look at. number one, who owns the vessel. thankfully for this victim, it's owned by carnival cruises, so it's an american-owned -- >> holland american is carnival? >> by carnival. number one. number two how far was she from the u.s.? too far, beyond 24 miles of the u.s., so it's international waters and where things start to get murky. now is going to be an agreement between the u.s. and honduras. who is gonna go exercise jurisdiction? the u.s., they have involved the fbi. they are doing the investigation. you have a confession by the indonesian employee that, yes, i did rape her but she assaulted me. somehow, he felt that was justification for what he did a little whacky. >> important to read the fine print. whether you realize it or not, sign up for the cruises, may look like one page on the computer it is not a lock. >> a lot of disclaimers. when it comes to a criminal act that happens it is going to be an agreement between the u.s. and the country where the vessel was closest to, if it is a u.s. vessel. now do does she have a separate

claim, a strict liability claim against the vessel and actually sue carnival? absolutely. she will. and those disclaimers, they -- courts have said they are not going to stand up. so, you're trying to say a passenger gets attacked on your vessel and somehow because they signed that little disclaimer on their ticket all you will do is give her a voucher for the next cruise? i think not, carnival. ultimately, she will get some vindication. >> mercedes come win, nice to see you. >> nice to see you, thanks. a doubling discovery aboard a cargo ship at the center of the movie "captain phillips." the cops say two former navy s.e.a.l.s working as security contractors have turned up dead on the mersing alabama. remember the mersing alabama? that is the one that got hijacked a while back. mersing alabama, navy veteran, lea gabrielle, has this story next. you really love, what would you do?" ♪ [ woman ] i'd be a writer.

continuing coverage of the

breaking news coming out of kiev in the ukraine, the fighting continues or at least the protests do we see a lot of outgoing fire power of some kind, we assume moltov cocktails and tracers. the music is still going, the protests keep going. the president remains defiant i can't a horrible scene in kiev this evening. a lot more in the news today, including a crew member to found two former navy s.e.a.l.s dead aboard the "maersk alabama" cargo ship. according to police, both men had been working as security contractors on that vessel. remember the "maersk alabama," the same ship featured in the tom hanks' film, "captain phillips" a movie about a hijacking in 2009 we cover here extensively. what else do we know about this situation? >> shep, authorities say the ship, the "maersk alabama" was suppose it had to leave port yesterday until a crew member found the two former navy s.e.a.l.s dead in one of their state rooms. now, the ship was located about

900 miles off the coast of east africa. it had been there -- arrived there two days earlier. you can see where this locations on the map here. now the security company that employed the former navy s.e.a.l.s provided a statement today that reads, in part, "there is no immediate indication as to the cause of death, but the deaths were not caused by operational activity." and local authorities saying that they will conduct an autopsy this week and hopefully get some clarity on what happened to these two former navy s.e.a.l.s. >> we spoke to the owner of this ship while it was going down in 2009, the way of the day is private security. did this one have it? >> this one did have private security and apparently these former navy s.e.a.l.s were part of the security team. experts in maritime security tell me this has become a common practice for u.s. merchant ships, especially since pirates hijacked the "maersk alabama," as we mentioned in 2009 where captain richard phillips was held hostage until navy s.e.a.l.s rescued him.

i spoke with a cargo ship captain who told me pie ras say big problem off the coast of africa and the security teams act as a major deterrent. >> these guards are very effective. if someone approaches a by the and you see somebody standing on the stern with an automatic weapon, you're not gonna try to throw up a grappling hook it will cost your life and these crews have protected american ships. >> the former navy s.e.a.l. who previously served on the "maersk alabama", on the security detail, tells me when they are in port, security teams are essentially on vacation. interesting to find out what's happened here. >> leah gabrielle. thanks. we are hearing from the father of the so-called craigslist killer. that's the teen who says he killed at least -- she killed at least 22 people and then lost track of the number. that's what she says. her father says prosecutors should seek the death penalty for the death of his own daughter. she is 19-year-old miranda barbour. her father tells the

pennsylvania newspaper, "the daily item," that he indeed does believe his daughter may have been involved in more than one murder. you will remember, barbour and her newlywed husband, seen here, are both accused of killing a man they lured on craigslist, stabbing him around 20 times, according to authorities. both of them are now behind bars. now, miranda barbour reportedly said her victim deserved to die because he still offered to pay her for sex, even when she told him she was 16 years old. now, the self-confessed serial killer, whether she is that or not is another matter is reportedly giving investigators exact locations for her other crimes. investigators say there is still no evidence at all to prove her claims. let's get to phil gavin, former assistant director of the fbi in new york, now president of the guards mark, a global security company. good to see you. >> good afternoon, shep. >> i guess while investigating this horrible incident, tough look into the others. but so far, they don't have anything. >> you're absolutely right.

it's got to be a two-pronged, biif you are kated investigation. first of all, she needs somebody to really -- apsychologist to get to the bottom of what she said, the same time, talking about crimes committed, just can't put them in let's wait pile because it might be some truth to some of those things. so the investigators, the criminal investigators have to go and do what they have to do based on the leads that she might give them but at the same time, somebody really has to get to the bottom of her psychological makeup to see whether or not there is any credibility at all to these stories. >> bill covered a a lot of these stories when working in florida for many years. so often, killers, somebody goes out and kills somebody, they will make up a list of other crimes, having done some research on them some time, knowing who was killed and where and the basic circumstances, like you might find online and then sending investigators on this wild goose chase in an effort to buy time. >> absolutely true and that's

part of the "fun" that they have, making somebody do something that doesn't make any sense at all. these are people that really, psychologically, need some -- some intense care, but at the same time, you know, if i had a child that was missing, if aiden uncle, an aunt, a brother, sister, mother, father, missing and she said something to the effect that she killed somebody in a certain place, scranton, pennsylvania, and they were missing from there i'd want somebody to look into that immediately, not wait until some psychiatrist decided whether or not she was competent and telling the truth. so it's very difficult on police. >> yeah. excruciatingly so, i'm sure. bill gavin, former with the fbi. good to so you again, thanks. >> my pleasure, shep. to different matters. put down the hot pocket and step back from the microwave now. you heard me. details on a growing recall of hot pockets ahead. plus, a court date for the former u.s. congressman who was arrested overseas for making

the former united states congressman has pleaded not guilty to porn charges in zimbabwe. and now, that former lawmaker will spend another night in jail before a second hearing on separate charges. yes, there's more. prosecutors say cops caught one-time illinois democratic congressman mel reynolds with some porn. a state-run newspaper quoted a source who claimed reynolds made pornographic movies himself, more than 100 porn know graphic movies while he was in zimbabwe. he is also accused of overstaying his visa and skipping out on a bit of a hotel tab, $25,000 worth of hotel tab. courtroom observers say reynolds appeared tired and confused in

court, not in the porn, but in court. and they say he had trouble standing up. his attorney even asked a judge to get his client medical attention. the one-time congressman left office in disgrace almost 20 years ago. back then, a jury convicted him of statutory rape for having sex with a 16-year-old campaign worker. again, convicted him. reps for netflix say the company has removed -- well, here is the head rain, shepard may starve to death. the second line is officials from nestles are removing two pockets from store shelves. who knew there were beef from hot pockets. they are the philly steak and cheese hot pocket, i have had that once, and a croissant crust philly steak and cheese. i don't eat the philly steak and cheese unless i'm in philly. >> the hot pockets. >> i would buy the hot pockets while in philly.

this comes after regulators say a production facility in california processesed "diseased and unsound animals without full federal inspection." the feds say it affects products shipped out to at least six states, including texas and florida, where all the good crime stories come from, text and florida. the company that ounce the facility report it is has recalled nearly 9 million pounds of beef. i guess the headline was actually there's beef in hot pockets. i eat lean pockets. >> you think you're safe? >> i know how delicious they are. >> you eat them all the time? >> well, in the summer tile. >> only? >> you can get delivery in the city. >> kitchen and you can cook in there. >> have you heard tough go to the grocery to get things to cook. lean pockets last a long, long time. after weeks of extreme weather, the salt shortage has come to be very severe in new jersey. lawmakers say they are now using a mixture similar to pickle juice to try to moment the ice. so, i thought pickle juice was just a chaser for the bourbon. if it doesn't work, officials

say they may have to shut down some of the roads. officials say they are waiting for, not on -- waiting on would mean like a restaurant, waiting for 40,000 tons of salt to come in from the maine. the problem is it's all on a foreign ship and under a century-old law you can ships don't transfer -- transport cargo from one u.s. port to another, they can't do that they have to fly an american flag. they are stuck. jersey's u.s. senators say they are asking for the federal government to get a waiver in there so they can get the much-needed supplies down into the new jersey. now, netflix, fox binge watching the hit series "house of cards" may have noticed a slow down in the service. no spoiler alert, we will spoil nothing but the netflix service may have slowed down because the company is in standoff with internet providers causing a bit of an online traffic jam. knelt flicks execs want broadband companies to hook up to the company's new video distribution network. those netflix execs do not want to pay the fees, but some of the
