>> it's friday. so, tgif. have a fantastic weekend, and you come back here on monday for more of "the real story." let's head over to shepard smith reporting live from the fox news deck. >> top of the hour, top of the news. high school seniors watched their friends die after their bus smashed interest a fedex truck and exploded in flames. we're hearing now the stories of people who were on board the bus and somehow survived the inferno. it may be the most devastating security problem in the history of the internet. the so-called heart bleed bug. it affects web sites including google, facebook, and netflix, and a lot of confusioning but how it's going to affect you and how you can protect yourself. we'll cut through all the tech talk and explain what you need to know and what you need to do. so let's get too it.
12:01 pm
>> good friday afternoon to you and yours from the news deck. it's 3:00 in new york city. the face of obamacare's disasterrous web site rollout is gone. the political bickering over the health care law is about to gate reboot in congress. president obama today officially announced the resignation of kathleen sebelius and announced his pick to replace her, his budget chief, sylvia burwell, who now faces confirmation hearings in the senate. secretary sebelius had been obamacare's most visible lightning rod. some republicans called on the president to fire her but he said she stayed on to get the problems fixed, and she did -- she got the job done. >> seven and a half million people across the country that have the security of health insurance, most of them for the very fir time, and that's because of the woman standing next to me here today. we're proud of already for that. >> but for an official who faced so much heat for the web site problem, even today's farewell
12:02 pm
speech had a glitch of its own. >> knowing they can take care of themselves and their families. unfortunately, a pain is missing. -- page is missing. other i'm just grateful for having had this wonderful opportunity. >> a page is missing. that got a good laugh from the crowd as you heard. now, the senate will take up burwell's nomination. the senate unanimously confirmed her for the budget director post, 94-0. president obama seemed to challenge any potential opposition, saying he assumes not much has changed since that time. g.o.p. opponents of obamacare are already signaling they will ramp up the fight against the law. the republican senator mitch mcconnell says he hopes the nomination is the source of discussion of what is happening. chris wallace is live in washington. ed henry is live in washington
12:03 pm
but they don't speak so they're on different cameras. ed, the president cheered sebelius and the healthcare law, saying we got all these numbers up. she did a good job. it's working. >> certainly. you saw the secretary struggling to literally turn the pain, but metaphor include they saw this as a chance to say the leadershipping changing, over seven million signups and maybe their getting some momentum behind the law and secretary sebelius talked about all the hard work that went into fixing the miscures and now they're making up ground. >> critics and supporters alike are benefiting from this law. my professional work as a legislator, an insurance commissioner and a governor, have been tremendously helpful in navigating the policy and politics of this historic change. >> the politics kill continue. a secretary again but the fight remains. talked about the potential
12:04 pm
confirmation battle ahead. what senator mcconnell and others are saying they have some leverage in these nomination hearing ahead to get some information they have been demanding about, okay, there's over seven initial signups, how many people have paid their premiums, how many are really covered. >> tell us more about his pick to lead this time. i know she is a centrist and went over with flying colors in the last job. >> 96-0 when she was nominated for the budget job. john mccain will have a vote, saying she is going to make a great health and human services secretary. why he and other republicans are saying that she has a business backgrounds, ran the bill gates foundation so she has tackled big, tough projects before. but you have republicans like ted cruz saying there's still a lot of challenges ahead and he thinks this is large live about politics and the mid-term elections. >> i think there will be plenty of time for the senate to assess
12:05 pm
sylvia burwell's qualifications. i assume that the senate democrats will vote in a partisan party line. but in my view, what the confirmation should be is an opportunity to examine the failures of obamacare and how people are hurting because of it. >> now, senator ted cruz says he thinks that's why they waited on having sebelius leave until after the march 31st 31st enrollment deadline, but get her out now months before the november mid-term elections. the bottom line is the white house wants to have a may transition here to hear bur well in place but the senate can sometimes have other ideas. >> indeed. have a good weekend. let's bring in chris wallace. looking at ted cruz and i can vision what is coming. going to roll 'em out, brain in train'ds of people who are hurt, and this thing is a disaster and they'll talk about it until the cows come home. it's going to be awesome.
12:06 pm
>> well, it's going to we washington is what it's going to be. look, she is going to get confirm as ed pointed out and as you pointed out. she got confirmed a year ago as bug chief by a 96-0 vote. she is a strong manager. that's her particular strength, both working for the clinton admission, the gates found, the wal-mart foundation, she hasn't suddenly gotten stupid. so, she is going to get confirmed. and ted cruz is open and honest. an opportunity, as republicans see it, to bring up everything they hate about obamacare and to ask her how she is going to fix it. >> but they've already said it doesn't mary who is running it. they blamed kathleen sebelius and then stopped doing that. said it wouldn't matter who is up there. the law by definition is never going to that's what they said. >> well, that's right, and i think one of the opinions they'll try to make is, yes, this is a new face and it's not the person who presided over the disasterrous rollout of
12:07 pm
obamacare, but she is still presidings over a law that, according to republicans, doesn't work, and there are a lot of issues still out the. forget the signup. we're still going to be talking about, can you keep your doctor? can you keep the hospital? are your premiums going up or down? there are a lot of very legitimate questions that are going to affect those 7.5 million people who signed up when they actually need to get the healthcare coverage they've got '. under obamacare. >> the strategy on this particular president obama's nominee or pick to be the nominee, will be an interesting thing to watch. i have seen a couple of people say, she's the one who shut down the veterans. she is not. but she did preside over omb when memorials got shut down. i wonder if that's one of their talking points or too far out there. >> well, nothing is too far out there in washington. >> true. >> certainly bring up things they think were problems with her. but she's going to get through. first of all, with the new senate rules that it don't need
12:08 pm
republican votes. just need 51 democratic votes but you saw mccain is on the record saying he will vote for her. i think republicans do not want to be in a position when democrats are making a big deal about the war on women, going after a woman who has been nominated for a top job who they just confirmed unanimously and who is by all rights very qualified. so i think -- the'll be tough but not try to boat up on her. >> what are you doing this weekend. >> we might do a show. >> that's a good idea. just going to do it on the fly? >> we'll be talking about this. talk to two members of the committee holding hearings on the burwell nomination, and of course, also, on obamacare. tim scott and sheldon whitehouse, and we'll talk about the -- there they are -- the aforementioned, and also talk about the irs and all the trouble that lois lerneres the
12:09 pm
and the criminal referral, and talk to two members of that committee. sounds like a show. >> sounds like one to watch live, dvr, and watch it on a loop all day. >> i don't think one watching is enough, but there is the masters, so might want to make time for that. >> we know. tiger is not playing. but the rebels are playing baseball. we're in mississippi state so -- >> who? >> my rebels. my top -- >> are you telling me you would watch the rebels playing baseball in april rather than watch a tradition unlike any other? >> 100%. positive on that. yes. >> have you're lucky the rebels don't play at 10:00 a.m. i would miss fox news sunday. what? >> have you ever been to the augusta national golf course. >> huh-uh. i hear it's great. >> the most beautiful place i've ever been in my life. i've been watching it on tv for 50 years and it exceeds your

12:13 pm
12:14 pm
this is awful. fire tore through a tour bus full of high school seniors as passengers screamed and climbed out broken windows, desperately trying to save their own lives. that's according to witnesses of the deadly bus crash in northern california. killed ten people, including five students. we have some pictures that show just how horrific this scene was. look at this. investigators say it happened when a fedex semi truck smashed head-on into the bus yesterday. the impact sent an enormous fire ball into the sky. the smoke and flames towering before the wreckage, witnesses say one person escaped with his clothes on fire. the crash happened on the 5 freeway 100 miles north of sacramento. my understanding, this is the town here, a small town nearby. the bus is coming along here -- sore -- the fedex truck is coming along here, it crosses
12:15 pm
over the median, and this is northbound, so the bus was northbound, and just hit it head-on, across the median. one witness said the impact sounded like a chain of explosions. >> a heard a sonic boom, and i -- the house shook. >> when i got there everything was engulfed and still spewing up black smoke. >> i just started praying and saw one gentleman on a board, and his clothes were gone. >> according to the highway patrol the fedex truck may have been trying to avoid a car that end up side swiping it. cops say the students were all on their way to tour humboldt state university in northern california. one survivor posted this photo of himself online. he says he wanted to sit in the front of the bus but another student convinced him to sit in the back row and that he believes saved his life. another student says he was trying to nap when he felt the bus shake and heard a loud boom. he said, we knew we were in
12:16 pm
major trouble. claudey cowen is in will willoo, california. >> investigator -- federal investigators working with state agencies are focusing at least out the gate on the driver of the fedex truck, trying to figure out whether it was human error or possibly something went wrong with the truck or with the weather or with the road conditions. that prompted that big rig to veer over the center divide and slam head oninto the charter bus filled with more than 40 college hopefuls from l.a. area high schools that were visiting hum hum hum -- humboldt. >> the very students that california needs to be successful going forward, and so we are doubly saddened by the fact that they -- many of them
12:17 pm
are first generation and students from low income, who have done all the right academic things and had their dreams of going to humboldt state taken away by this tragic accident. >> five teenagers and three chaperones died as well as drivers of both vehicles. survivors acted fast. someone kicked out a window allowing 40 students to escape, but several victims are hospitalized in critical condition. los angeles school administrators are working to reconnect anxious parents with their children and grief councils -- counselors are on hand at the high schools these students takenned. >> families are talking, right? >> well, they are, and we are hearing a number of heartbreaking stories, including this one. a family from southern california with identical twin daughters who were riding on separate tour buses too humboldt state last night. one of the 17-year-old girls was
12:18 pm
on a bus that arrived safely and the other girl has not been heard of and their older brother learned about the accident at his father's 65th birthday party. so for this family and nine others, an enormous tragedy playing out. >> we need to get to other news now. we're getting explosive new details on an important senate report which accuses the cia of misleading congress or lying to congress about the scope of its enhanced interrogation methods, which means torture english. we'll have a live report. wall street has been on a roller coaster ride this week. yesterday a huge plunge and today is not much better. the dow is off 113, the s&p is down. the nasdaq taking another big hit. we'll explain why the markets are falling off the cliff. now is your chance to hold your dream wedding at a --
12:19 pm

12:20 pm
12:21 pm
12:22 pm
breaking news now on the report that accuses the cryie of lying to -- the cia of lying to congress over torture techniques, specifically techniques that were far more brutal and the program was much bigger than the agency ever owned up to. according to a source familiar with the senate review. katherine herridge is live for news the d.c. what a blockbuster this is. >> fox news was told there are some two dozen conclusions in the report which range from allegations the program went outside the so-called approved techniques to misleading lawmakers after the fact. the program included the
12:23 pm
waterboarding of shake mohammad, the self-described architect of 9/11. sources say he seemed to meet a self-determined threshold for suffering and once he passed that he spoke freely with investigators. the senate report investigating the cia program, which was shuttered a decade ago, cost $44 million with a final draft approved by the senate intelligence committee in 2012, and then this month the committee voted to send the 480 page summary to the executive branch for declassification. when the report was completed in december, senator diane feinstein, who leads the senate intelligence committee, said it was document drone and would lay out on a case-by-case basis each detainee who was held, how they were handled and what information was actually provided as a result of this program and whether that information was in fact accurate, shep. >> all right. thank you. wall street still on edge
12:24 pm
after yesterday's major market selloff, mostly involving technology sector. the tech-heavy nasdaq saw the worst plunge since 2011. fell more than three percent yesterday. the dow and the s&p 500 dropped and stocks are in the red again today. a live look at the dow jones, off 92. been down more than that at points throughout the day. the nasdaq, plunged three% yesterday, down another 1.2% today. social media stocks including twitter, yelp, and linkedin fell today. analysts worry the markets may get worse before they get better but nobody knows. this has been such an awful week. why? >> it has been an awful week for a variety of reasons. today we got the nail in the coffin for the week. jp morgan chase put out earnings and they're a big bank and they had disappointing numbers and that dragged down the entire ash dull the indexes.
12:25 pm
you can see facebook and google, trip adviser taking a big hit, down several%. another reason why the markets reacting to some china import and expert numbers that indicated that demand in china is going down. and this could be bad for the global demand curve. so that could be bad for a lot of the stocks on the nasdaq and the dow. so we're seeing a trend going into the red, a major selloff, and it's one of the reasons, but interestingly in this case, it's only -- it's several reasons, not only one, as a lot of analysts or investors want to do. >> jolene, thank you very much. some marriages are going down the toilet before the couples tie the knot. a sewage treatment plant near seattle, sewage treatment plant -- is now hosting weddings. insert your metaphor here. officials say you can see the

>> the malaysian government is confirming one side of the government does not talk to another. their a disastrous wreck about whether passengers on the missing plane are suspects and australians say the crews are confident they know where the flight black boxes are down to, he said, some kilometers, meaning miles. malaysia's defense minister told sky news, everybody on board remains under suspicion. everybody. meaning the passengers, the crews and the pilots. all of those of dead people are still under suspicion. but the thing is, just last week, malaysian police said definitively that investigators had cleared every passenger on board the plane. who knows. meantime, australiays prime minister says officials are, quote, confident that the signals they're picking up in the indian ocean are in fact from flight 370 but warned time is running out before the batteries on the black box fade.
12:34 pm
he also says they're confident the black boxes are somewhere within the search areas right here. but he said knowing where it is it not the same thing is a recovering the wreckage, and the fifth ping we toldout -- told you about yesterday? it wasn't a fifth ping. it was not from any black box. joining us know from "the new york times," michael schmidt. he and his colleagues have been all over this. it's good to see you. thank you. >> hey, shep. >> this conflicting stuff out of the malaysian government is getting tiring for a news consumers and agonizing for the families. >> from the beginning we have seen the malaysians struggle with this investigation. the first week they didn't really say anything. then they sort of came out and tried to book-end this thing and put it all behind them, and then there's been various things they said about who the suspects are, and who they really think was behind it and such. and they've really kept the u.s. investigators at a distance because they don't want to look
12:35 pm
as though they can't happen this themselves and here we are 35 days out and don't know much we didn't know back when this thing went missing. >> what's your reporting on the fifth pinning they thought they had yesterday? >> the times reported they weren't -- they don't think this was coming from the plane. if we good back a week 0 we have had pinnings that have couple -- pings that have come forward and nothing moved it. and then the prime minister says they think they found the area and they think they're in a better place to get that. once again, seems similar to the times just a few weeks ago when they were looking at one area and thought that's where the debris would be, and then the next day they were looking somewhere else, and i was looking at the stuff the families were saying. i can't imagine what it's like. there's constant, oh, okay, we're close. we're close, we're close. and there's still nothing. >> i can't imagine that the australian prime minister saying something as definitively as he
12:36 pm
tide knowing the political ramifications. can't imagine saying something like that if he weren't mighty sure. >> but he also came out originally when the australians took over the search off their coast, he came out and was fairly definitive about the search. people said, he must have some really good intel from the united states, or some satellite pictures or whatever. and seems like he is doing that again. so, i'm not sure why he thinks that is advantageous, or maybe we are finally at a point where we'll find something. you look at the air france flight, five days after it went missing, they had an idea -- they found some debris. we have no debris 35 days later, and the air france flight took them two years to find the black boxes. >> thank you. i appreciate it. the feds are warning banks and other organizations to be on alert for data theft.
12:37 pm
this isn't about what i just said. this is about how much trouble we can all be in. it has to do with the recent discovery-the heart bleed bug which can let hackers steel information from vulnerable networks. do you use these sites? if you have conditions on any of those sites experts say to changure passwordses right now. that's not exactly right. answer they fixed them. here's why. all of those are ready for fixing. say you've been logging into google. for your gmail. you fig you're secure. it's doingle. and you see this thing here, that green -- that lock tells you you're all good here. right? somebody has a key. researchers say under the bug on the lock you think you're protected but it's wide open. kind of like thinking you locked your front door but the lock was
12:38 pm
broken. the thieves can just waltz into your house without you know, and in the last 40 minutes bloomberg news reported the national security agency new all about the -- knew all about it for years and used it to gather intelligence on everybody. thank you, nsa. bloomberg is citing anonymous sources, but believe it. lea is here. complain how people can protect themselves. >> the good news is that most of the major web sites affected by this say they have now fixed the bug, and many of them say they actually never were affected by the encryption flaw. here's websites not affected. these are -- >> all of those. how comforting. >> pay attention today. the include linkedin and a number of banking sites, bank of america and wells fargo. what expert i spoke with said the biggest concern, the worst-case scenario, somebody
12:39 pm
could have already stolen your log-in information for your media web sites and your banking web sites. >> the problem is people do not realize this vulnerability has been out since 2012 but not known. so we don't know how many people already knew about the vulnerability prior so there other could be a lot of information already taken so it's good to update your major information with pii data. >> he means personally final information. so the best thing to do is, like you said, change your passwords. >> you need to change user names sometimes. >> in some cases user names. >> you have to get a password keeper, keep it right there, keep all your passwords in the and then they'll steal the pass kurd keeper. this is one guy's fault. >> a german software developer who said this happened when he was writing new code that was intended to protect networks. he said, quote, i'm responsible
12:40 pm
for the error because i wrote the code and missed the necessary validation by the oversight. this mistake slipped through the review process and made its way into the release version. the expert i spoke with said this is actually a pretty easy mistake to make. >> unfortunately the soft ware developers have the hard job. they can write mentales of lines of code and it only takes one hacker to fight a hole. >> heartbleed has been out for two years and it's unclear if any information has actually been stolen. >> i'm sure the national security agency did. >> i'm not going to say anything here. >> they've already got everything of mine. thank you. that blade runner guy, oscar pistorius, faced a third straight day of excruciating cross, and a lot of observers are saying he is in big trouble. we hear why the prosecutor -- tells what he believeses happened and white the judge scolded the attorney in the middle of the question egg, and

12:44 pm
16 minutes before the hour. the lead prosecutor in the oscar pistorius murder trial today ripped into the olympian and called him a liar, right there to his face. and did so, so much that the judge spoke up and told the lawyer to chill already. oscar pistorius said he shot and killed his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp, here, because he thought she was an intruder. on the other side of a locked door in the bathroom. after the trial resumed the prosecutor revealed that oscar pistorius asked to meet with steep camp's mother so he could apologize in person but she said, no thanks, she wasn't ready. the prosecutor then quizzed the blade runner on the alarm system in his home. previously pets pit -- pistorius said he must have deactivated

scared of oscar pistorius, according to the prosecutor. the athlete denied the claim. the court adjourned shortly after that until monday. dan shore is with us, a former prosecutor. never seep a -- seen a prosecutor act like this. the they can. is it effective. >> it is, he is going through every part of the story and saying it doesn't make sense. why scream for help thinking she is in the bathroom, not hear any response from her, according to him, and then say, she must be back in the bedroom, i'll just fire into the bathroom. doesn't make sense. also he apparently walked through the house screaming and got no response from her. why too you fire into the bathroom? one of the biggest questions the prosecutor asked, why? why did you think someone was inside who was an intrude center no reason for him to have thought so. >> the prosecutor just pounding and pounding. sometimes not asking questions for long periods of time, telling hem things. things you can't do in the united states. then oscar pistorius kept getting the story mixed up and would contradict himself and
