reunion. the sergeant finally able to adopt jackson. he made a promise if the two made it out alive holt would adopt him and give him a wonderful home. he was able to keep his promise. great story. that's a wrap for us here in d.c. thanks for joining us. fox news alert, the u.s. state department confirming at least three americans were on the missing malaysia airlines flight including an infant. welcome to america's news headquarters, everybody. i'm jamie colby. we are glad you're here. >> i'm kelly wright. the jet disappeared while flying from qualibeijing. we are getting word the u.s. navy is sending a ship and aircraft to the region to help search for the missing airliner.

david piper is streaming line from bangkok, thailand. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: as you said, vietnamese military aircraft reported seeing ten mile-long oil slicks on the south china sea in an area they were searching for this lost malaysian airlines jet. there is no confirmation that that is where the plane crashed. they are sending two more vietnamese ships to that area. they will be there by first light. aircraft ships from four countries have been searching all day that area of the south china sea. malaysia's transport minister says so far no wreckage has been found. the boeing 777 went missing in the early hours of this morning local time on a flight from the malaysian capital to beijing. there were 14 different nationalities on the plane including three americans.

150 of the passengers on board were chinese nationals. contact was lost with the plane two hours into its flight. the route is over the china sea near the coast of vietnam during that time. vietnam said the plane didn't enter its air space. the government's website says the plane went off radar south of vietnam. weather along the route was reported to be good at that time. friends and relatives have been waiting anxiously at beijing's airport. some voiced their frustration at the lack of information about the plane. the boeing 777-200 is a long-range aircraft powered by two engine and was introduced back in 1995. it's in service with many airlines around the world and it has a good safety record. malaysia airlines also has a very good safety record. of course, that search mission will be ramping up at first light. back to you. >> that is quite a harrowing situation for those waiting to hear what's happened to their loved ones. do you have details at all how

soon they might be able to find out what happened? >> reporter: i think it will be a long process now. thief been searching now for really we are talking 15, 16 hours since this plane was lost. information is very hard to find out. it's likely they are going to be when they find the black box, which could be at bottom of the sea which could be a month from now. that black bach will keep sending out signals for a month. >> david piper reporting. thank you. our other top story is the fast-moving developments that we are seeing in the ukraine where tensions are escalating in the crimea region. there are armed pro-russian forces, a lot of them, firing warning shots into the air there and refusing to let european peace keepers enter the peninsula. we are also hearing reports from the ukrainian border patrol that on its observation aircraft, they came under fire. thankfully no one was hurt.

amy kellogg monitoring all this live from kiev with the latest. >> reporter: these incidents do seem to be piling one on top of the other. just about a week from this referendum that crimea suddenly declared for march 16th. they declared it a couple of days ago. everyone is just waiting anxiously to see how it all plays out between now and then. frankly after then. it does seem that today has been slightly more aggressive than other days and overnight, as well. we keep getting stories of journalists getting beaten up down there trying to cover events. their camera equipment being smashed or stolen. we saw a picture on twitter and in a russian newspaper of a fresh mine field being laid on the crimea/ukraine border. there's been a lot of movement of military hardware today. some 70 vehicles lumbering through crimea. last night there were reports of 200 military vehicles arriving

on amphibious military ships. last night an attempt to storm a ukrainian military base. crimeans demonstrated against russian occupation and against the referendum called for march 16th on whether crimea should remain ukrainian or join russia. this of course under extreme pressure from russia with its military there, but made a bit more effective possibly by the fact that ukraine's last corrupt government, the one just chased out, many say neglected crimea. >> they were very interesting to have only piece of land, build villa, but not seriously thinking about people who live there. >> reporter: so the issue is we don't know how people of crimea feel because they are under this pressure with the russian military there. there are people with grievances about the way that things have

evolved in crimea over the last decades since the soviet union fell apart, but it's not clear we'll ever know exactly what the true will of the people is begin that this referendum is happening sort of at the end of a shotgun, if you will. in the meantime, the foreign minister we just spoke to today, you just heard from, said that even if the old government neglected crimea, it's up to this new government to take care of crimea which is ukrainian territory. they are very happy to hold some sort of meetings at least with crime ans to see if they want more autonomy or what would make them happy. >> if they have the courage to speak up. very well explained, amy. we'll definitely check back with you. later this hour, we look forward to bringing in stephen yates who is a former national security advisor. together we'll look at the strained ties between the u.s. and russia now. tensions are definitely rising between the two world powers over this crisis in ukraine.

the annual conservative political action conference is wrapping up today. thousands of activists meeting near washington hearing how potential 2016 presidential hopefuls. the conference ends with this year's straw poll later this afternoon. carl cameron is live at cpac in maryland right now. we are watching dr. ben carson there. what can you tell us? >> dr. ben carson is one of the three or four speakers throughout the course of this three-day conservative political action conference who has packed the halls. it's standing-room only. there is a big draft dr. ben carson president for movement around the country. he's been coy saying he doesn't think that is a great idea and not interested in 2 running for president. he's one of the world's leading pediatric heart surgeons and very conservative and much becpac. he is not one of the 2016 presidential contenders.

we had a steady stream of would-be white house candidates for 2016. it began with ted cruz, senator from texas on thursday morning. he lit it up although it was an early morning conference speech and there weren't a lot of people here. the enthusiasm was palable. chris christie had the first bit of good press in the wake of the george washington bridge scandal back in his new jersey. the governor is chairman of the governors association. by far and away the most enthusiastic went to rand paul who is a favorite to win again tonight. he was really pushing hard for his libertarian brand of conservatism and going hard after conservative republicans who have been suggesting the party should sell out its principles to be more effective at election victories. >> imagine a time when the white house is once again occupied by a friend of liberty.

you may think i'm talking about electing republicans, i'm not. i'm talking about electing lovers of liberty. >> reporter: and here at the conservative political action conference, there is a little bit of animosity toward party politics. the republican national committee is not a particularly popular group here. they think a lot of times the establishment gop hasn't been serving conservative principles that well which is one of the reasons why dr. ben carson is so popular. he isn't tied to washington inside politics. spent his life in medicine and has the conservative social and fiscal principles they think a good president would make. no with standing little more than a draft effort on his behalf. >> they definitely want to move forward and move ahead by being more diverse this time. have they sent that message out they would be more diverse and more inclusive? >> they are trying for the better part of the last year and a half since the romney defeat in 2012 the republican party and

conservatives have been talking about building the party by appealing to more people. that is why rand paul is considered quite popular because he can appeal to young people who are particularly enamored by the libertarian conservative. one woman here is a conservative conservatives and republicans alike argue there should be a lot more of them their message of self-responsibility, personal liberty and personal advancement is one all americans should be more interested in. >> carl cameron live from cpac. thank you. there will be a lot of issues covered there. a major political issue as we look ahead to the midterms and presidential elections, of course, how to boost america's economic recovery. today both parties are laying out their versions. president obama taking up his call to increase the minimum

wage. republican senator rob portman says good jobs are already out there. government-funded job training programs are falling short. >> the american people are way ahead of congress on this issue. we've just got to let congress know that. it's time for 1010, time to give america a raise. it's time to restore opportunity for all. >> let's make sure americans can get the skills they need to access the jobs that are out there. the federal government runs 47 different, often overlapping work force training programs, but they aren't closing the skills gap. in fact they have too much bureaucracy and too much inefficiency. if we want more americans in a job, we need work force retraining programs that do a better job. >> the debate over jobs comes on the heels of yesterday's jobs report which showed employers added 175,000 jobs last month. the unemployment rate inched up to 6.7%. can you believe it?

s spring is just 11 days away. it may be a brisk day here in new york city today but lots of people are hoping for an end to a very long cold winter. there is still plenty of rain, cold temperatures and even some snow in store for parts of the country. janice dean is live outside the fox news building here in new york city with the latest. you're to the outside. what happened? >> it is a beautiful day in new york. at 40 we'll take it because we've been in the deep freeze for weeks now. we have a weak cold front moving across the central u.s. with it the chance for rain and wintry precipitation. this is light in nature. not a big blockbuster snowstorm. it's just going to be a nuisance. still cold across the northern tier and upper midwest. there is some good news for folks across the midwest as well

as the ohio river valley in the northeast where we'll bump up 10 to 20 degrees. chicago 30 today, 50 by monday. around 48 on monday for new york city. warmer on tuesday. even minneapolis jumping for joy because you've been into the freezing temperatures. 43 in minneapolis. you know what comes with march? we've got a topsy-turvy weather pattern. fairly calm across the central u.s. we'll be watching a developing storm system that could bring measurable snow across the midwest and the northeast. we'll see the potential for some heavy snow across these regions. we are getting there. just around the corner. >> i don't blame this on you. >> thank you. >> i blame this on that

groundhog. >> i think that is a good idea. thank you. next year. i'm sorry. buckle up, everybody, if you are planning to take a road trip this spring when the weather does get better. the brutal winter has already taken a toll on our nation's roads. what happened? pot holes. it must be a big problem if we are covering it. now the irs can hand over evidence after lois lerner refused to reveal what she knows. >> my counsel advised me i have not waived the rights under the fifth amendment. idea klein to answer any questions on the subject matter of this hearing. only gaviscon® forms a protective barrier that helps block stomach acid from splashing up- relieving the pain quickly. try fast, long lasting gaviscon®.

. welcome back to america's news headquarters. the irs agreeing to turn over e-mails from the woman at the center of the agency's targeting scandal involving conservative groups. the agency will hand over the documents after former irs official lois lerner refusing to testify again in her second appearance where the house oversight committee. now committee chairman darrell issa says lerner could face

contempt of congress charges as early as next week. let's bring in our panel. good afternoon to you both. >> house and ways committee chairman dave gant says gong waded through hundreds of thousands of documents in this case. some of miss lerner's e-mails have been handed over to congress. he goes on to say in a statement, "the remaining documents are key to determining the level of wrong doing and deception committed by this agency." but angela, can the irs be trusted at this point to be transparent? >> well, you had president obama when he was candidate obama saying he was going to have the most transparent administration and there's no accountability.

i'm glad dave camp is getting involved with this. also you had chairman issa get involved, as well. the ways and means committee is a tax writing committee. we need not only to reform the irs, which should be a neutral agency to collect tax revenue. it should not be a political agency. we need to reform our tax code, as well. it's a travesty this organization is going to be of individual man dade collecting fines for obama care. >> richard, i bring up the issue of transparency in the irs. they already handed over these documents. some had been redacted or blocked out so members of the congress could not read the full transcript of the e-mails. what say you about this? >> first things first, i don't understand what is not transparent about half a million of sheets of paper being handed over. >> if you cut some out -- >> a lot of the stuff redacted in the request is personal

information, information of different individuals that could not be released to the general public. where i disagree with angela, we see nothing but transparency from this white house and the irs. not to mention the fact this investigation is not about politics. it's an investigation about mismanagement. progressive groups were targeted like conservative groups. >> not as many. >> right out of darrell issa's mouth and his committee. >> both groups on the republican side and democrat side both were being targeted by the irs. congressman issa says he is looking into the possibility of actually holding miss lerner in contempt of congress. will that help republicans get to the answers of why the irs targeted these certain nonprofit organizations like the tea party groups? >> i don't know if it will help get to the answers. we need to hold people accountable. the irs should be transparent. nothing should be blacked out.

the public is not seeing it. members of congress that work for us need to see these documents in its entirety. if you recall when the president interviewed with bill o'reilly, he said there wasn't a smidge of corruption at the irs. why does lois lerner plead the fifth? why doesn't she tell the truth and be transparent. i'm not finished. so holding someone in contempt of congress will make an example when you're called before congress you need to testify to tell the truth. >> this is just another witch-hunt. >> here we go. >> i wouldth rahher the republicans focus on repealing citizens united and where corporations can and not focus on progressive tea party groups. reform this system. there is a bill on the floor to

do that to reform the system, get dark money out of the way. david camp and issa and angela could agree we have to jump onboard. >> i have to leave it there. time is running out on me. always good to have you both join us. >> thank you. janice dean said spring will come. as we head into it, the long, snowy winter has already left behind a souvenir for us. expensive and potentially dangerous pot holes. the tire-destroying differe ini popping up on streets, damaging vehicles and saddling cities for the work and cost of repairing broken pavements. will we fix it? >> it has been a pot hole winner. the constant freezing and melting of water seeping into tiny cracks of our deteriorating roads and highways causing major

holes over time. 7,000 pot holes have been filled in boston so far. that's three times more than the last two winters combined. in new york 150,000 pot holes have been repaired. an all-time record for the city. in chicago, 215,000 pot holes filled, well ahead of the annual pace. >> it's horrible. you can feel your car jumping up. it's like on a roller coaster ride avoiding the pot holes. >> there are deep ones. those get you. on the freeway there are nice big ones. when you're up to speed and hit it and blow out a tire, that's not fun. >> definitely not fun. aaa of new york reporting a 25% increase in calls from drivers this january compared to last year. the number of flat tire calls has nearly doubled. >> the average driver is spending an extra $300 a year in vehicle operating costs because

of the bad roads. if you're in a particularly bad areas like the northeast, you're spending an extra $800 a year on vehicle operating costs. >> in boston, crews are working every day to fill the city's holes. >> one word i use is recurring. some we've been to three or four times. they just keep opening up. we are trying to stay ahead of it. >> aaa says pot holes cause about $6.4 billion a year in car damage. new york city alone is spending an additional $7.3 million for road repairs this year. >> that is a huge problem. remember how the jetsons used to fly to work? i wish we could do that. search and rescue crews are scouring the waters off vietnam looking for any signs of wreckage from the missing malaysia airliner with 239 people aboard including several americans. still to come, an indepth

a fox news alert. as we reported at the top of the hour, the u.s. state department confirming that at least three americans were on the missing malaysia airlines flight, including an infant. search and rescue crews across southeast asia including the u.s. navy are scrambling now to find this missing boeing 777. it disappeared while flying from malaysia to beijing with 239 people aboard. dominiq >> you know the 777 has a flawless safety record. in the 19 years since it entered service and has been 1,000 aircraft entered into service in

that time, there have been 60 incidents, most minor. the first fatal incident the 777 had was last year, july 2013 at san francisco aircraft where an asiana airlines came in short of the runway and three people died. it was blamed on pilot error in that case, not a technical problem. there was a similar incident back in 2008 where a british airways plane came up short at heathrow. again, not technical problems. the question is what exactly happened here? these planes can fly for three hours on a single engine. even if both engines fail at cruising altitude, it doesn't just go into a straight nose dive and crash into the land or sea, it tends to glide gradually downward. something catastrophic seems to have happened here. that is the initial indication. if you look at where geographically this happened, it's in the middle of the south

china sea which is a very tense region geopolitically. there are a lot of problems between the philippines and the chinese at the moment. begin the fact we are hearing from officials in europe that passports belonging to their citizens that were stolen in thailand were used by passengers to falsely board that plane, a lot of questions from a security point of view are going to be raised. it's very easy to point the finger at initial technical problem. when you look at aspects like that, who precisely knows? no doubt the safety boards and boeing's safety experts will be closely looking at what could have gone wrong with the aircraft. as far as history, this is a safe plane. >> a lot of questions to follow. boeing is investigating the latest problems with its dreamliners. the aircraft manufacturer says it was informed by a japanese manufacturer that the tiny cracks they discovered in the wings of 40 dreamliners

currently in production, they are taking a look at that. they say they expect to fix that issue in one to two weeks. it could cost some delivery delays. boeing is also saying it's confident the problem does not involve 787s currently in service. back to our top story. tensions escalating in ukraine with no signs that russia's willing to back down. there are an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 troops in the crimea region. the armed pro-russian forces refusing to let a foreign military mission enter the region. they are firing warning shots into the air. russia is threatening to push back against any sanctions saying those sanctions could boomerang back on the u.s. sounds like a threat. they are including not letting american inspectors look at weapons and including nuclear bombs in the country under the star treaty. joining us to discuss a possible fallout for the united states,

stephen yates, former deputy assistant to vice president dick cheney for national security affairs and distinguished fellow at the hamilton foundation. >> very good to be with you. >> 20,000 to 30,000 troops, any significance to the number? >> it's not a small number. what we've seen with russia is this encroachment strategy where it takes a little bit of territory, moves forward and tries to convince people in the west that that's where it's all going to stop. what we have right now is a full-on takeover of crimea. the question is will it really stop there and what will we do if it doesn't? >> putin seems to have certainly an air of entitlement. what role can dialogue play, both from the people in the region, the eu and the united states? >> it's difficult. we need to start with a purpose in mind. there was a time when the president of the united states, the prime minister of great

britain, the pope and organized labor all agreed in a higher purpose in helping these eastern european territories be liberated from russian domination. we don't have a clear defined purpose for what we hope to achieve. we have talk about territorial integrity and things like that. i think there is no point in having a conversation with putin and his government about that. they have a revisionist view. >> and they certainly don't seem to be anxious to sit at the table with the president, do they? >> no. i don't think they mind. they seem to have indulged the president in long telephone conversations in recent days. i don't think they have a problem having some of these meetings, but the facts on the ground move in their direction. it's been incremental so there hasn't been quite the level of shock the international community would usually have. nonetheless there is a steady encroachment. >> what about the eu? is there too much at stake personally in order to be more forceful? >> they have conflicted

interests. there are a number of entities in europe that are invested in some of the large energy interests in russia. so there will be complicated financial and business dealings should sanctions be put into play, which is why they are slow to back up that arm of the strategy. what we see is vladimir putin with a clear plan that focuses on political, ethnic, economic and military elements and it's moving forward. the west sort of scurrying in reaction with only talk of sanctions slow on implementation. >> was there anything that could have been done to prevent this? today crimea, tomorrow what for putin? >> when you look at other territories and other groups where there are are ethnic russians, an historical claim if not a sovereignty of dominance you would think the baltics, poland and other areas on the periphery of russia would be concerned by whatever precedent is set. you have russia flooding a part

of ukrainian territory putting milton the ground then saying let's have a free and fair vote for self-determination. what kind of environment is that for the will of the people to be accurately reflected? any of these other geographies could be subject to the same treatment. >> how concerned are you? what do you predict happens from here? >> my concern is we basically continue to talk and can't come up with a purpose or a strategy. putin and russia continue to take, slowly and surely, the dominance over this eastern european territory. it sends a signal to all allies we are not reliable. essentially, it's the opposite of the message reagan, thatcher and pope john paul said, which is you are not alone. these people do feel alone now. >> when i first started to cover this story, the first question i asked was what would ronald reagan do? i get the same answer there isn't much we can do now. what action would he have taken? what can we learn from this situation where it was, where it

went and where we are now? >> the first thing would be to live up to the promise that ronald reagan, thatcher and pope john paul ii said was you're not alone. we should be there to provide aid assistance, amplifying the will of the majority of the ukrainian people. and delegitimizing the claims of those who seek to put them under oppression. all too often our diplomats and others want to talk about the importance of great interest at stake and other places, but what russia is doing is not moral, is not consistent with our interests. at a minimum, we should be vocally pushing back on that. >> well said, stephen yates, as you always do, teach us a lot. thank you. >> thank you. the bulls marking five years of running. markets crashed hard this weekend thanks to the housing bubble. how long can the bulls on wall street rule wall street and broad street? >> not getting enough of your zs could be bad for your health, but it could be especially

this weekend marks the fifth anniversary of the bulls markets charge on wall street. the bulls running fast and furious since march 2009. rising out of that financial meltdown that came after the housing bubble burst that we all felt. now with the dow sitting above

16,000 and the s&p at record highs, can this stretch last much longer? let's bring in kyle herrington, founder and managing partner of herrington national management llc. how would you describe the situation we are now in? five years of a bull market. >> well, if you look at the numbers and look at the dow jones industrials, you'll find that the market has increased numberswise significantly. i think, and i contend this is not a time to be cavalier about your investment decisions. a lot is the federal reserve infusing capital into the marketplace that has driven the market significantly higher. >> they are also on a reduction of infusing more capital. they have to draw back, they say. is that causing some alarm out there about the possibility of perhaps ending the bull market? >> it's a great question. that is why i think all eyes are

on janet yellen and the federal reserve to take a look at. they are going to take a look at the employment numbers, which we just saw friday, which i think are average, at best. they are going to take a look at housing whether or not people are continuing to buy homes because interest rates are at record lowlevels. if in fact that doesn't continue in some sense, then i think there is going to be an issue for the federal reserve, whether or not they continue backing off the marketplace. >> don't you think they need to, at this point, keep interest rates where they are or as some critics say they should be raising the interest rate. >> i think it's a mistake right here given the data that i've seen, which is i think the underlying fundamentals of the united states' economy. is main street spending money? is the job market getting better? is gdp growth growing at a significantly above inflation?

i think the answers to that are no. i think it would be a mistake to increase the interest rates at this point. >> let's keep in mind this is while we are rebounding still a sluggish recovery, if you will. how long in view of that do you anticipate the bulls can continue to make that run on wall street and broad street? >> great question. in the next three to six months, it's not time to -- it's time to be vigilant over your portfolio. i think the fed here is going to be taking a very close look at what the data is showing because you could see a sell-off here if in fact you continue to see -- we saw the unemployment rate go up this past friday. that's not a good sign, in my mind. it's about jobs, jobs, jobs. if you believe we are creating healthy, sustainable jobs, then you believe that the economy is growing. i'm not so sure i see that right now. just be watchful over your

investment decisions. >> a lot of people ran away from the market because of what happened with the housing bubble. do you anticipate people coming back to the market? a lot of people stayed away it from. >> that's right. i think there are people that saw what happened then and got very scared. they are very watchful over it they could run for the hills if this market starts to get momentum selling off on the down side. >> we've got a lot of factors we've got to look at for the next coming months. do you think politics will weigh in because of what's coming up with the midterm elections? >> that is another huge variable. the volatility in this market is significant. we now have this russia crisis. i think there are lot of factors that are going to inject huge volatility in this market. political decisions, i think, will be very involved in how the federal reserve acts here in the

short term. >> bottom line though is don't panic. kyle harrington, we appreciate your advice as always. >> thank you. it seems like a coincidence we do this story on the night we put the clocks forward and lose an hour tomorrow, but there are new health warnings on the danger of not getting enough shut eye. lack of sleep could be really bad for one group of teenagers. not these four specifically, but you need to know this if you're a parent.

>> you get up at 4:00 a.m., you've got to make sure you get your seven, eight hours sleep. >> cancel those plans tonight, kelly what about exercise for kids? >> absolutely. >> will that help? >> you are 100% right. not only the caloric intake is on the rise. i encourage my kids to be out there playing sports. sleep, you need seven to eight hours of sleep. >> we should set by example and what we bring into the house foodwise, but it's i hard. you're not with your child all the type. >> good point. >> well said. >> we do the best we cab. thanks for making us all aware. you're a good parent. that's going to do it for us. we'll see you tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. with "sunday house call." >> i will try to get sleep in the interim. >> be there for "sunday house call" tomorrow. >> i will. >> we have great topics tomorrow. i'm jamie colby.
