12:02 pm
problems on the west and the united states. >> translator: irresponsible by the west. but ukraine is a strong country and we well overcome it. >> that was awful, that translation. i have know idea what he said but he is blaming us. enough with putin clearly siding with the man whose ukraine's governor accuses of mass murder. let's get to jennifer griffin following developments from the pentagon. first to lea gabrielle. we have not seen the ukraine president for a week, there was speculation he was in russia, sure enough. >> he said he didn't flee ukraine but left because his family received threats. he said he'll return when it's
12:03 pm
safe, and while ukraine's speak russian and ukraine, today he chose to speak russian at the conference. >> yanukovych needed to find a place he felt safe, needed to find a friend who could protect him and protect the interests of his fellow russian speakers in ukraine there was only one place logically to go under those circumstances. >> yanukovych made a point to say he had only spoken with russian president vladimir putin on the phone and putin said that i would meet. >> putins troops on the move. there is seasons how far he might go? >> sheltering yanukovych sends a signal supporting his position but russia has a clear strategic issue in ukraine. they're a major black sea port, a warm-water port, essential nor naval vessels to have access to the mediterranean and the rest
12:04 pm
of the world during the winter. one analyst says that while putin will protect russia's assets in ukraine, aggressive military action would result from back larry. >> the headline today is the russians have seized control of the airports, it appears. u.s. military officials say they're keeping a close eye on the latest movements in ukraine. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon. who is taking the lead on this? >> president obama has not spoken publicly about ukraine since february 19th. secretary of state john kerry issued the strongest statement yet from a u.s. official, warning russia nat to intervene in -- not to intervene in ukraine. >> we believe, national security adviser rice, made it very clear some i made it it clear that interception in our judgment would be a very grave mistake. the question is whether or not whats happening now might be crossing a line in any way and

12:06 pm
military exercises on ukraine's border. he did not have to send troops into crimea. he already had troops at the russian naval base. the troops who have taken over the two airports in crimea may have come from that russian naval base. in other words, putin didn't have to send troops into ukraine. they were already there. >> but they didn't have permission to go to the airport. they're supposed to stay on their base. >> that's correct. >> news from the future, this is ugly. thank you very much. we'll monitor things at the pentagon with jennifer's house. this is serious. here at home, u.s. marshals captured a child sex offender who escaped from a halfway house in denver. officials found this 51-year-old, eric hartwell, at a motel six, where they left the light on for him, in norfolk, virginia. 1800 miles from denver where he disappear last week.

neighborhood. you go block to block, amazing how many homes have sand bags. look up the street. a little mud up there. that gives to the engineers an indication of what might come down. looks forested up there but there's only a few trees that are green, all around for three or file miles up the hillside is not but a moonscape. california has not had a lot of rain. you might say it's too much too late. right now most of the state only 30% of what they need but this weekend, three storms coming ashore. this is the second one right now and it's causing for a lot of concern, especially in this area that was threatened be fire a month ago, now threatened by possible mudslides and flooding. >> adam houseley, thank you. continuing to track the storm as it moved over the west coast. rick is live in the fox weather center. you predicted it. >> the mudslides are a problem, but long term they'll take the rain they desperately need, and
12:24 pm
this is a good one but they need more. it's a good soaking. the entire state is under a drought. the entire state 100% of it, and over a quarter exceptional drought. now you see exactly where the rain is, the entire state. we'll tell you, this rain is going to make its way into arizona, snow across the rockies, that's all good as well. but we have this one big heavy band move through downtown l.a. adam was saying he has the break. there's the next band moving through. more heavy rain,'ve -- already seen two inches and more on the way. there are strong winds and the possibility of a tornado popping up pretty quickly there think about that. all of the people in the big cities from santa barbara, to the south, will look for that threat. we'll see more mudslide problems. this is additional precip. the red, another three to five plus inches.

12:33 pm
the governor has fired the staffer and denied knowing anything about the plan to shut down the lane and also apologized nor traffic mess. our producers have been going through hours of the record examination nothing contradicts governor christie. eric shawn has been covering politics. he has a hat on teed. near the entrance to the bridge. it's cold out there. >> it is cold. it's a cold 25 degrees. not as bad as the midwest. but we have been listen to hours of the 9-1-1 calls so far, and while there's anger and frustration by the drivers and the dispatchers, sames to indicate there were a lot of problems because of the lane closures in all, about 28 hours of 9-1-1 calls, seem to show that the lane closures took the people here by surprise. the dispatchers had to reroute ambulances and emergency vehicles to get around the city they said was totally gridlocked. the governor has denied knowing anything about the alleged scheme to get back at the democratic mayor of the city.
12:34 pm
exposed the negative impact of the lean lanes being closed from the calls. >> we're getting calls from irate motorists. >> traffic is a nightmare. >> you are aware the town is a total gridlock, right? >> that's the brown office building. the gw bridge is totally bid locked. >> nine hours, two minutes and 42 seconds. >> 91-year-old woman did die of natural causes in her home on the first day of the lane closures but her family has said they don't believe the closures had anything to do with her death. >> eric shawn. let's bring in chris wallace. there's another series of e-mails that came out yesterday as part of this thing. where the same people involved from christie's office, got mad at some rabbi and joked about
12:35 pm
whether they could cause traffic problems in fronthoe. given this and the way we know governor christie runs his operation, how could he ever run for president? >> well, he can run for president if there is no proof that he knew about it, and the fact that these two people, his deputy chief of stat, bridget ann kelly, and david wildestein, working at the port authority -- pardon? >> running wild in his administration. stopping traffic and rabbis and stuff. >> all i'm saying it's just sun pigs on your part. he says, governor christie does, i didn't know anything about this. these folks were running wild and he fired them both as a result. and we have thousands of pages that the general assembly there in new jersey.
12:36 pm
if they don't find anything, i suspect he go about his business and may be rejuvenated. >> if he didn't know anything about it, awful this chaos was happening around him and he didn't know. >> it's possible. >> a lot of media organizations are really -- they're running to the house on this. but there are a lot of questions that have not been answered and the stonewalling this involved here is noteworthy and he never even asked this woman, who had worked for him for all those years, why did you do that? that lacks credibility, doesn't it? >> well, yes and no. once this came out, and again, look at this. if you believe christie's argument, which was that he knew nothing about this, once it came out, if he starts asking about that, then is he trying to influence a witness, are you going to believe whatever he says she toldi don't know that s very much.
12:37 pm
there are a couple -- a bunch of investigations going on. there's an internal investigation in the governor's office, an investigation going on in the state assembly. a federal investigation. it is something that is going to come out or won't. there's no question, though -- i will agree with you -- he has taken a real hit in the polls. a "new york times" poll indicated, among republicans, they want to see jeb bush, rand paul, and at this point, more don't want to see christie run. so i think he will be in much better shape if there's no smoking gun but there's certainly a included over a possible presidential candidate. >> but no evidence he had anything to do with any of this. chris, we're following a developing story involving hillary clinton, another potential presidential candidate. the clinton presidential library oohs begun releasing tens of thousands of pages of documents from former president bill clinton's time in office. the documents indicate staffers worked to humanize the former first lady. oh, no.
12:38 pm
one maple -- memo says they wanted to use the emerging power of the internet to make her more relatable. we better put some people in prison. quote, internet has become a popular mode of communication. hillary could speak to young women through internet. i think hillary would have fun with this. oh, my god. they need to impeach them again. >> there are some things that are a little bit worse than that. but i agree, there's no there there. as was famously said. there's some internal memos, when it comes to hillary care, and if you don't like obamacare, you're not going like what they were all talking not terms of hillary care in 1993 and '94. she was the architect of that. people have known she was for healthcare reform for a long time, and i didn't get passed. unless we see something a lot more incriminating than what we have seen, this will be forgotten by the end of the week and maybe by the end of today.,.
12:39 pm
rand paul coming out and reminding us of the clinton scandal because bill clinton will campaign in kentucky. it's beat then clintons day again. this is in your estimation, a effective strategy for this bunch? >> well, look, they're going after chris christie, the democrats are, and the republicans are going after hillary clinton. >> for what? no. no. chris christie has this huge scandal about using public money and the public bridges to get political payback. what did hillary clinton do? she didn't do anything? she used the internet to talk to women. >> well, i understand that. these -- wait a minute. there are 30,000 documents there. >> i know. >> that were supposed to be released a year ago. are you saying -- >> no. go through every one of them. >> okay, we should. >> i think we should, too. >> separate standards for the

[ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪
