was because of my wonderful floor director, right here, erin. she is giving me a wrap right now. for real this time? five second. i'm on o'reilly tonight. watch. i'm gretchen. here's shep. >> there is breaking news now on fox news channel live from kiev tonight. we're hearing multiple reports of russian troops right now storming a base in crimea with one local media outlet reporting russian forces used a military vehicle to smash through the gates. further we have gotten a tweet from personnel inside that base, who says that the particular military vehicle crashed through the gate. there's some 100 ukrainian troops there guarding and it 20 russian forces have gone in the word is they're trying to take over a command center at a defense installation. if this is happening, it would be a dramatic escalation. no reports of any shots fired.

our reports and producers are working more on this news. >> it's 3:00 on the east coast. noon on the west coast. 10'm here kiev, where we're monitoring the reports of the russian troops at the military base and several other significant deep. s tonight. a spokesman for the russias president vladimir putin says a new cold war has not started and he would like to believe it will not start. but the pentagon confirmed russia is launching large-scale war games with live ammunition, and u.s.a. warship, steaming toward the scene of this global standoff for what the pentagon calls a routine mission. and what about those reports that ukrainian's fugitive former leader had a heart attack in a hospital. legitimate or propaganda from putin? you'll hear from a former u.s. ambassador says this soundses pretty convenience for the kremlin. so let's get too it.

>> but first tonight, more breakings news from crimea. the word has come from multiple sources now, including a ukrainian military personnel inside a base. this is in what amounts to the capitol of crimea, a place we visited two days ago. one of the personnel there has sent out multiple tweets. here's the story we have thus far. a russian military vehicle has crashed through the gate of a ukrainian military installation. it's a defense installation with 100 ukrainian personnel inside. the word is that some 20 russian troops are working to get inside a command post there that is heavily guarded and welsh fortified, it's my understanding. so far we have no reports of any shots fired, but this would be part of pattern as the russians have taken over military installations all over crimea, at one point they occupied the airport but it is certain now

that russia does control crimea for at least the foreseeable future. jennifer griffin at the passenger, amy kellogg in kiev, and our foreign desk. this comes as the russian president vladimir putin is taunting the united states and the rest of the west. his spokesman says the very idea of the west having talks to solve the global crisis, quote, makes us smile. a sarcastic purpose in the gut hours after president obama called vladimir putin and urged him to open talks with the ukrainian government. the back and forth comes as the russian iron grip on the criminal ya gets stronger, and judging from the scene in moscow's red square, russia's president, vladimir putin, has no intention of ever letting good. tens of thousands of people packed red square today, waving russian flags along the way, and chaned, crimea is russia."

crimea's russian backed leader called the air ukraine government nazi bandits. a standing owe -- the crimean people will vote on a measure on march 16th. so in eight days, essentially a formality to make official what lawmakers already declared. president obama and other western leaders across the eu say that vote would be completely illegal, and a violation of ukrainian's constitution, not to mention international law. russia's parliament is working to change its own law so it can take over crima, because the russian constitution bans this type of power grab. it's important to note here that president putin said on tuesday he does not expect crimea to become part of russia. he said there was no way russia would try to make that happen. of course, we now know that's

nonsense pentagon sisterses tell us there is some 20,000 russian troops on the ground. other reports indicate 30,000 on the ground in crimea. no matter what president putin claims his army is in complete control there. here in ukrainian's capital there is little people can do to fight back and keep their country intact. today we saw antirussian protesters. they waved signs portraying put a as masked thug. one poster showed a map of kiev putin face. here drops are dragging a crying protester away. one of them grabbing a fistful of her hair. so lots of developments on that front. sourceses at the pentagon are watching russia's moves very closely and the u.s. military is not ramping up its presence in

the region but they don't underestimate that putin could take things further. the phone call last night between president obama and putin didn't solve anything. a spokesman says putin is trying to solve the crisis but putin is misunderstood. he slammed our president obama's move to punish russia economically, something russia says would spark retaliation. duke mckelway is live at the white house for us this afternoon. >> that's right, shep. mr. obama continues to believe and he expressed it to mr. putin in an hour-long phone call last night, this standoff can be resolved diplomatically with the interests of all parties taken care of. ukraine, the united states, the international community, and russia. he proposes that the government of ukraine and russia hold direct talks facilitated by the international community. that international monitors would ensure the rights of all ukraines are protected, including those of ethnic russians, and the russian forces

would return to their base. and that secretary kerry would continue discussions with the foreign minister lavrov. in regard to any sanctions, mr. lavrov delivered probable through characterized as a devastating blow to the united states' hope when he says that u.s. sanctions against moscow would hit the out like a boomer -- boomerang. house spiker boehner has a plan that would dull leverage that putin has. he said, and i'm quoting, the ability to turn the tables and put the russian leader in check is right beneath our feet in the form of vast supplies of natural energy. he is advocating exporting natural gas to western super the ukraine. we heard in congressional testimony that the administration is considering just that. >> there's active discussions at high levels regarding that.

>> there certainly is. >> thank you. >> but on air force one today deputy press secretary says it has been a mild winter in europe this winter in europe and there is plentiful gas. and that coupled with the leak of delivery system to get the natural gas to europe and the fact that winter is almost over, now suggests this plan may not be fruitful, at least in the short term. shep, back to you. >> doug mckelway, thank you. to reiterate, any u.s. sanctions against moscow would hit the united states like a boomerang. the threat from the foreign minister of russia. the russians say lavrov also warned the united states against take anything what he called reckless steps that could hurt realizations between the two countries, as if relations are in good.

let's bring in chris wallace. the rhetoric is turned up. >> absolutely, and if those reports, those unconfirmed reports at the top of the hour are true so is the action. that would be a huge escalation if it turns out -- i repeat if -- the russian forces actually broke into a ukrainian base. it was an odd situation because the russians are in complete control of the peninsula but there were ukrainian bases with ukraineian troops only then, ukrainian warships in the harbor with ukrainian soars and at one point the russians were offering them apartments if they defected. but if they now used force to break into one of those ukrainian bases, that's a huge escalation. >> it certainly would be an escalation. chris gets word that putin and obama spoke on the phone last night for an hour. any idea what came out of that? >> well, clearly not very much. you hear that the president and the white house is talking about the fact the president has this

plan that was just laid out by doug mckelway that would include russian troops returning to their bases and the troops who invaded the country going home, and all kinds of international monitors, and sounds like a wonderful solution, but there's absolutely no indication that vladimir putin or the kremlin has the slightest bit of interest in it. at this point they have control of crimea and want to maintain control of crimea. again, if these reports are true they want to extend their control of crimea, and they don't seem to be looking for the offramp the united states and the european union are so anxious to provide the kremlin. >> chris, i was talking to jen socky on this programmess yesterday and she said the european union and british are working with us and believe this has to be stopped but i don't see any signs of that. everything i hear out of germany is that angela merkel has no intention of getting involved with any sort of sanctions, and in great britain we know that

the recommend was -- because we saw it on a piece of paper that accidently came on television -- they don't want economic sanctions. how does the united states go it alone? >> in fact there has been something of a change in europe, particularly yesterday, when the crimean parliament voting to secede from ukraine and become part of russia. that really lit a match under the europeans, and both cameron in britain and merkel in germany, said if that were to go forward, they would impose sanctions but they're talking about very mild sanctions. visas on individuals in the russian leadership or the ukrainian government who they feel have been involved in this invasion, this takeover of crimea, economic sanctions, freezing their bank assets, but not a dramatic move against russian in terms of really cutting off trade. we should point out in historic terms -- we have had the case of a hungary or -- but if they

took over crimea, and leave ukraine and become part of russia. that this first time russia has taken territory since world war ii, since the end of world war ii and the cold war when all of eastern europe fell under russia. so this would be a huge and historic change and that's one of the reasons why even the british and germans who have been slow, they're alarmed now, too. >> could be a domino because there oar areas of eastern ukraine that have the same sentiment as many of those in crima. thank you a, chris. we'll watch you this weekend. the program, talk about the crisis here in ukrainian with robert gates. chris will also sit down with the kentucky senator rand paul. one of the potential 2016 presidential contenders who has spoken at the cpac meeting this

continuing coverage of breaking news now live from kiev in ukraine where we're now getting more reports of russian troops storming a military base. a ukrainian military base in crimea, with one local media outlet reporting russian forces actually used a military vehicle to smash through the gates inch fact we have gotten that from a number of sources and now we're getting official information as well in the fox news deck in new york or information special wrists are working on this and bringing in tweets and lillian is on the deck with more. >> first we got a tweet from a reporter for the times who said that 15 trucks of russian troops descended from the black sea warship and that was from the ukrainian media.

next, he said a spokesman from the ministry of defense confirmed the storming of the air force base and russian troops seized part of the base. next he said the air force colonel said the russian commander was demanding the ukrainian forces lay down their arms arms arms and surrender. a reporter from rueters said armed men storms the building and took control. that's what i have so far. >> lillian, we can't independently confirm this at the moment but there are a lot of eyes on it. this would fit a pattern, not with this dramatic crashing of a gate but the russians have taken over installation after installation there, but to crash through a gate with a military vehicle and good in and physically take over, too be seen as an escalation. news that is bubbling in ukraine as well. first back at home, our nation's

unemployment raid ticked up slightly last month; analysts say mostly bust more americans started looking for work again, unemployment it a tenth of a tick up. the labor department reports the economy added $175,000 jobs but the number or long-term unemployed increased to 3.8 million. people who have been actively searching for jobs for more than 26 weeks. peter barnes is live in washington. i understand the bad weather really forced some full-time workers into part-time work. >> that's right. the bad weather did not affect the headline, jobs numbers, but drilling down into the report we found it hit the labor market pretty hard last month. the labor department says an estimated 6.9 million full-time employees worked part-time in february because of the extreme weather. in january that number was just

about 700,000 workers. the department says that in february another 600,000 full-time employees say they could not work at all due to the bad weather. they, however, are all still counted as employed by the labor department because weather is considered a temporary problem. >> it's my understanding the situation here in ukrainian has had an affect on our markets back home. >> yeah. the markets shot higher earlier today on the jobs numbers, but they pulled back later in the day, heading into the closing bell now. one trader says investors don't want to be big buyers today, given the uncertainty of the situation in the ukraine, and the risk of possible negative developments over the weekend, but for the week, investors appeared to be relieved the crisis did not get a whole lot worse or has yet led to any major economic disruptions. the dow industrials fell 300 points on monday, the first day

of trading after the russian intervention in ukraine a week ago, but since monday the dow has recovered all of that and more. shepard. >> peter barnes, live in washington. thank you. one well-known leader is now throwing what he calls his full support behind russian president vladimir putin, and it's none other than the syrian dictator bashar al-assad, man who has murdered tens of thousands of his own people. >> if you have been watching closely you may have noticed the russian and ukrainian flags aren't the only ones waving here in the capital of kiev. we're live from kiev, just past 10:00 at night. we're working to get further reports from crimea, as i've mentioned, reports that the russians have stormed the military installation, the ukrainian troops are trying to guard it, and that the russians are armed but no shots have yet been fired. live breaking updates as they

russian troops have stormedded the military facility in crimea. ukrainian military facility. broken down the gate there and dozens of them, now working to get into a control tower on that military base in crimea. that this breaking news. it's 24 minutes past 10:00 now in the evening. these reports are from reuters, interfax, and from people who are on scene there. we're now getting an update from the pentagon. jennifer griffin is live in washington. >> the pentagon will not officially comment on what is happening at that crimean base right now but a senior u.s. official tell mets they have no

reason to steer us away from the open source reports. eye witnesses on the ground who say they saw 20 russian soldiers storm through that gate with a vehicle. they're about 100 ukrainian troops inside that air defense center, trying to get control of the air command center, we're told. what happened this morning. the russians said they were beginning very large exercises, 280 miles from the ukrainian border. those were described as the largest air defense exercises in russia's history. it's no degree of irony, perhaps, that now the russian troops in crimea have forced their way into this base where the hundred ukrainians or so had the air defense control tower under their control until moments ago. the pentagon is not commenting but u.s. officials have no reason to believe the reports from the ground that the russians stormed the base are true.

>> jennifer, of note through the history of this conflict there have been no reports of anybody shot. there were some shots fired, or reports, at standoff in one position, some warnings shots overhead but no reports of shots fired testify military installation, right? >> that's right. seems the russians are being very careful not to fire their weapons. remember, they're trying to keep the hearts and minds of the locals in crimea. they expect they should be able to win a referendum later in the month for crimea to vote to breakaway from ukraine. that does appear to be vladimir putin's strategy. the pentagon confirmed today they estimate there are about 20,000 russian troops in the crimea right now, about 5,000 to 6,000 from outside, but i'm also told by senior u.s. pentagon officials that there is no sense that this building or the u.s. is prepared to go to war over

well, continuing coverage of dramatic developments going on in crimea at this moment. the reports are conflicting. we're getting russian troops have stormed a base in crimea with local media and others reporting that forces used a military vehicle to smash a

gate. no shots fired. and there's some 20 or so -- some reports more than that -- russians there trying to take over this facility. now, i say that -- go to the next -- i say that and we're now getting a tweet from a cbs news correspondent who is saying that these may actually be russian sympathizers who are from ukraine and live in ukraine, actually in crimea, and they have stormed the facility. mike barrett is a former intelligence officer from the office of the secretary of defense and is live now. it's no secret the russians claimed all along they haven't done anything, that all of these-russian sympathizers from crimea. so for the moment we can't say with any degree of certain dity what happened. >> putin wants to maintain plausible deniability in any court of international opinion so you want to maintain absolutely minimal violence that is direct, and also establish facts on the ground to their advantage. they hastened up this proposed

referendum so they will be able to take over de facto they're ge they're access -- the russians are going to guarantee their access to the warm water port they use on the black sea. that's what this is about. >> it's hard to imagine -- >> maintain that access. >> one of the things they have bandied about here is allowing the russians to keep that port, bring your forces back there, you can have your port, but we want our crimea. it appears at least for the moment that putin is having none of that. >> yay. but from his perspective, why should he accept that? he can take this at what he knows to be relatively small cost. europe wants the subsidized natural gas and oil out of russia so they won't put up a fight. nato -- this is another means by which putin can stake his claim

he is a new era czar. able to re-establish russian strength throughout the region. he wants to be coming off this as a strong, powerful guy. i would have said two weeks ago most likely what will happen is the autonomous region, the idea they will re separate from ukraine but technically separate from russia, but at this point looks like putin has gotten the parliament onboard in russian to accept them as russians, which is the best from his perception because of the military access. >> three other regions in the east of ukraine, about which there is a lot of concern, three particular ones that lean heavily russian. still align themselves with what is the former soviet union, and whether if he gets crimea, which -- whether he would try to get more. i guess that is reporting for another day but we'll match. mike, thank you. >> new reaction from one've

russia roz allies, the syrian president, bashar al-assad, at if anyone wants to hear from him. the world leader who has slaughtered his own people saying i support russian's decision to take over the crimean peninsula. don't you. president assad sent a letter to the russian president claiming putin prevented terrorist extremists from taking power in ukraine. it reports assad was praised -- has also praised putin for wise political leadership. human rights groups report that more than 100,000 people have died during syria's civil war under assad saturday leadership and direction. russia has been a big supporter of the assad regime. it supplied syria with more than $1 billion in military equipment in recent years. the vast majority of syrias arms have come from russia, but sirways strategically important to moscow, and russia's only

warm water port is there in crimea. but russia also a key naval facility in western syria. together they give the country crucial access to the ped tier rainan sea. without those they don't have it. the united states has been very critical of russia's relationship with syria. last month our secretary of state john kerry cruised russia of enabling the syrian regime with weapons and undermining talks to end the syrian civil war. our chief correspondent jonathan hunt is in our newsroom. what else does assad say, as if anybody cares. >> they're brothers in arms, and assad, according to the translation of the syrian state news agency, in this letter, he sent to president putin, expressed, quote, syria's solidarity with president putin's effort to restore security and stability to the friendly country of ukraine in face of the coup attempt against

legitimacy and democracy in favor of the terrorist extremists. clearly, shep, providing a dictator with millions of dollars worth of weaponry, with which that deck dictator can -- that dictator he can kill his own people, brings you loyalty from the dictator. >> nobody should be surprised. >> they're not. i spoke earlier to william taylor, who is a former u.s. ambassador to ukraine, about this and i put exactly that point to him. here's the ambassador. >> bashar al sad has a patron in moscow, and he is very bee hold -- beholding to the patron. another reason we should be very tough on president putin because it's clear he has no similar view about syria to ours. >> from the other side in syria, the "associated press" published this photograph which hey said was from a rebel demonstration

in the north of the country. to the rebels carrying a banner reading in part in english, ukrainian brothers, don't surrender to the savage russians and saying, never rely on the international community. now, neither putin nor assad seem likely to heed any domestic or international calls to halt their actions as they form what we might now call a new axis of the obstinate. shep? >> jonathan hunt, live in washington. good line. >> just gotten another dispatch from reuters and they now say armed men thought to be russians drove a truck on the missile defense post in crimea, and a reuters reporter on the scene said, reuters was reporting by first-hand account and say it stormed the gate. now rueters seems not so sure about that. a ukrainian military official said by telephone the armed men took over the base without

firing any shots and now they're in discussions about why they're there, why they're on a base where they don't belong and will they please leave. >> one of the last recipientses of the medal of honor in the united states, our military's highest honor, has died. we'll tell you how this hero managed to save his fellow soldiers on d-day after he took a bullet himself. remembering an american heroes, as "shepard smith reporting" continues from ukraine where they remember those who died, the 100 heroes of this page, turner in ukrainian history. ...you could be a victim of fraud. most people don't even know it. fraud could mean lower credit scores, higher mortgage rates... ...and not getting the home you really want. it's a problem waiting to happen. check your credit score, check your credit report, at experian.com.

there's a newspaper in russia known as mk that is reporting the former president of ukraine, viktor yanukovych had a heart attack and is now in grave condition at a hospital in moscow. the only source of that report is the newspaper, mk in russia. we have no idea what information is real and what is not real coming out of that country. a few days ago there 'twas a report he died in the hospital. he left his country after days of deadly protests here in kiev, independence square. those demonstrators, angry with the ukrainian government and demanding yanukovych step down. he reappeared in southern russia

then there was a report he died of a heart attack in moscow. president putin denied it then. now according to the russian newspaper yanukovych did have a heart attack. amy, what more do we know about this? >> well, we do know that mk is moscow's newspaper and they reported once before that viktor yanukovych is dead. they're citing in this report unnamed sources and we just went on to facebook and found a page that purports to be that of viktor yanukovych's son, and has 15,000 followers and his picture, and someone put the question directly to the son, and he answered for hours ago, everything is fine with my dad. ukraine press is not reporting the story. the man is wanted for mass murder and under an incredible amount of stress. but putin when asked about the

rumors, in his typical dark sense of humor says, he's fine, i saw him a few days ago. he'll still have time to catch a cold at the funeral of those who have been spreading the rumors of his death. >> any update on president putin's reported nobel peace no? >> that is hitting the news for a couple of reasons. because of what is happening in the crimea and this is the month when the committee will look at the record 278 names put forth. putin is one of those. he was apparently putting for -- leaked by the russian advocacy group who put him forward for the nomination, and this happened after the people cal weapons deal on syria came about. and their logic, this group, which i have to check the name, called the international academy of spiritual unity and cooperation of people, said that if president obama got the nobel peace prize? 2009 and was advocating an

attack on syria, then putin, who tried to stave off the attack with the chemical weapons, could certainly qualify for a peace prize. given that putin is up against malala and pop francis -- pope francis, not standing much of a chance. >> kind of preposterous. >> mr. ambassador, this idea that yanukovych would have died in a hospital over there you give it a one word, convenient, and that sounded right to me. >> mr. yanukovych is a liability to mr. putin. remember, one week ago when he was talking in southern russia he said that foreigners should stay out no foreign troops in ukraine and no secession. when mr. putin was stunned by the reaction of the international community to his

aggression, he said yanukovych asked him to send troops, directly in contradiction to what yanukovych said. so if yanukovych suddenly disappeared because of a quote-unquote heart attack mr. putin would have less to explain. >> that wouldn't be outside of pattern that we have witnessed over the years, it would, mr. ambassador? >> i'm afraid not. with the -- in london, people are inconvenient to mr. putin turn up in jail or turn up dead. >> until hear from him again, what are your thoughts on how in the world putin is going to shut him up? i guess the fact is we haven't seen him since then, and i wouldn't expect to again. would you? >> i think he is fully under the control of russian security, so they can do with him whatever they would like. they my may treat him out again to say he endorses russian troops taking crimea, but he is

on record opposing that and is of no further utility to the kremlin as a potential ally in ukraine where he is discredited, being charged with the vie violence taking place and living the luxurious lifestyle, so he is an embarrassment to the kremlin. >> former ambassador -- excuse me for the interruption. we'll wrap up the latest toes right here after this. why are house republicans "cooling," atlantic puts jobs on ice... forces us to lose out on revenue for roads and schools. and sends a message to millions of dreamers, who study hard and want to serve our country, they might as well dream on. no, nothing won't do. call house republicans today. tell them we've waited long enough:

know -- they did go into the base and had a standoff with the ukrainian military inside. it appears they were able to talk it out without a shot being fired. and these two russian vehicles, they call them volga trucks, two trucks have left that base. the standoff is over. the security of the base has been restored, and as i said, no shots fired. so, in crimea, the russians are in control, but that situation is over. >> and on this day in 1945, united states forces in germany found a passible bridge and crossed the rhine river, grabbing a foothold in the german heartland around the closing months of world war ii. the germans planned to destroy all the bridges over the rivers and missed one. and the days and weeks ahead the

ally forces turned to berlin and the invasion would lead to the fall of germany. that was 69 years ago today. we'll break in when news breaks out.
