virginia to sell it without a liquor license. that's it for today, have a happy easter and a great week, we'll see you next fox news sunday. you can crane's easter truce shattered and there's new bloodshed, three people dead at a checkpoint set up by pro russian separatist. >> the shoot-out is ramping up tensions even higher despite that international agreement that was reached on thursday to try and move both sides back from the brink. meanwhile, vice president joe biden is set to visit kiev early this week in a show of u.s.
12:01 pm
support. but ukraine's prime minister fears it will take more than diplomacy to try and break russia's tight onning grip on the region. >> putin has a dream to restore the soviet union and every day he goes further and further. and god knows where is the final destination. we need a strong and solid state, we need financial and economic support. we need to overhaul the ukrainian military, we need to modernize our security and military forces. we need the real support. >> with vladimir putin showing no signs of backing down those 40,000 troops on the border and nato exercises about to begin, what could come next? live in ukraine with the latest. hi, lou. >> reporter: you know, in what has become typical in this crisis, it was the ukrainians blaming the russians for violating the truce deal and then the russian foreign ministry put out a statement
12:02 pm
blaming the ukrainians. absolute truths on the ground has certainly controversy. at that scene, at that checkpoint, two vehicles burned out. there's a possible that two more vehicles escaped during the intense firefight. a lot of shell casings lying around here. the interior ministry confirms that three russian separatist were killed but it's still very unclear who was involved in this also very unclear as to who fired first in this dispute right now. the ukrainians say all of these russian separatist are under the control of moscow and are getting help from the russian intelligence services and special forces. these separatist control a number of the buildings without eastern ukraine, the government facilities here including the
12:03 pm
regional parolment building, they say they are not going anywhere, they are dug in, they say they want a referendum either turning the ukraine into an independent state or possibly part of russia. this easter morning, a number of those separatist headed to easter services, at easter services they celebrated in their uniform. a number told me they felt protected by president putin of russia. remember he said he was willing to use force, had the right to use force here in the ukraine in order to protect russian interests or russian supporters. the ukrainian government is still trying to walk that very fine line, they do not want to give the russians an excuse to order those 40,000 troops across the border here into the eastern part of the country and take it over, much like they did in crimea. most people think it's a matter of if, not when those troops
12:04 pm
come over. >> the separatist not backing down. it is a busy day for many across the world. we'll give you more now on this easter sunday and the millions of christians who are celebrating pope francis among them, praying for peace in the ukraine and syria, celebrating mass at st. peter's square. in egypt, christianings marking the holy day by breaking their 40-day fast after 40 days of lent. they make up 45% of the country's 85 million people but have been targeted by islamic extremists in the last few years. >> hundreds gather in mexico city to burn effigies of judas,
12:05 pm
portraying jesus and competing for the brightest effigy. mass is being celebrated at the holy church in jerusalem, that is the place where they believe jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected. meanwhile the search for survivors on mt. everest is growing more desperate. harsh conditions stopping the search today, but so far crews have so far pulled 13 bodies from the snow and ice, covering a very dangerous section of that mountain. three people are still missing. then after that avalanche on saturday. this is the deadliest disaster that has ever happened on the world's highest peak. more than 4,000 people have scaled mt. everest over the last 60 years but also hundreds have died trying to get to the top. roughly 25% of those who parished were killed also by
12:06 pm
avalanches. >> there's new radio messages -- chaos and confusion as panicked passengers found themselvesless trapped. few were able to escape and divers are now making their way into the wreck, they're still hoping to find survivors, but the death toll has been climbing, the number is at least 58, that number may rise even more dramatically. >> reporter: yes, those divers have finally managed to get into that sunken ferry and recover some bodies. they have been battling strong currents and bad weather the last few days. they discovered 13 bodies inside the ship, they also recovered six floating outside the submerged vessel. 44 people are still missing, around 600 divers including civilians have been involved in the operations today. they have yet to find any
12:07 pm
survivors in the ship and south korean officials say there's little chance anyone could still be a live inside. on an island nearby, families have been waiting news of their loved ones, they have gotten increasingly angry about the pace of the search and intend to march the presidential palace in seoul was blocked by police today as they pushed against the police barricade, they shouted, the government is the killer. meanwhile two crewmembers have been arrested on suspicion of negligence. the captain was one of the first to get off the ship. a prosecutor has also revealed a third officer, a 25-year-old woman was in charge of the ship when it made a sharp change in direction. transcripts released today of the discussion between the ship and local coast guard reveal a chaotic discussion, discussing
12:08 pm
whether they should abandon ship or not, the captain did not announce that he thought people should abandon ship immediately, he said he feared they would be swept away. president obama going on the offensive this past week, he was talking up the new obama care enrollment numbers of over 8 million people so far, but new critics of the affordable care act are ready to make it a major issue heading into the midterm elections. >> reporter: the midterm elections may feel far away, the administration is encouraging democrats to embrace and even push the sweeping health care law. on thursday, president obama held a surprise news conference to tell new sign up numbers reaching 8 million. some analysts say they're confident the enrollment figures will impact november voters. >> i'm optimistic, some of the exemptions actually favor younger people, that's one
12:09 pm
point, so you may see more younger people signing up between now and then. >> obama care opponents appear to be more mobilized than democrats. a pugh "usa today" follow finds that 64% of registered republican voters say the health care law will be a major fact for in their midterm voting decision. 52% of democrats do too as well as 45% of independents. experts say senators from states such as north dakota, alaska and louisiana, among others are working to distance themselves from the delay. >> you're seeing a real skiddish reaction from democrats. the chairman of the state energy committee criticized the commission for its delay. >> republicans are now slight favorites to win at least six seats and take a hold of the
12:10 pm
senate majority. lawmakers on the right have an edge which could explain why so many democrats are focusing on high turnout numbers. well, the battle over immigration is heating up, it's a major issue ahead of the midterm elections, and according to "the wall street journal," house speaker john boehner told a vegas fund-raiser he was, quote, hell bent on passing immigration reform this year. republican lawmakers are being warned that if they don't act president obama could bypass congress and use executive action to deal with the immigration issue. jamie winestein, senior editor of the daily caller. happy easter to you. >> and to you. >> what do you think are the chances the president would act unilaterally on immigration? >> it's not out of the ballpark, he's done this before with immigration specifically, on
12:11 pm
others some say she's exceeded executive powers that pushed initiate ives he wanted to push. will he find some lawyer that will tell him to do more on immigration? we'll have to wait and see. >> what percentage do you think there is in terms of a prediction that democrats would want to wait until after the midterms to pass anything. >> it's not only democrats who want to wait until after the midterms. republicans want to wait until after the midterms. several polling outfits think that the republicans could very well take the senate, largely because of the obama care issue, some political strategists say if you make immigration an issue, that will overshadow obama care and maybe weaken the republican stance. i'm not so sure that's true. but let me give u you one other scenario, which is a
12:12 pm
possibility, but who knows what would happen here. john boehner is kind of embattled in the house and during his entire speaker ship. there's been some suggestions that maybe he would step down, he denies this. but if he has that internally that he doesn't want to be speaker again after the elections, he could very well try to push immigration reform through the house backed by democrats and some republicans without the majority of republican caucus trying to create a legacy. >> yeah, a legacy. why isn't it in everyone's interest both sides of the aisle to get something passed and be able to say we did it? >> i agree with you, but there are some on the right in the republican caucus who are not for the type of immigration reform being discussed. it's not that everyone agrees on this issue and what's to be done. so i don't think they have a coalition to support the type of comprehensive immigration reform
12:13 pm
you saw in the senate. what's being discussed in the house perhaps is a series of bills taking each issue individually, and maybe you can get some of those passed over the summer. but even that's going to meet some opposition in the republican part. it's a vocal minority. they will go down fighting. so it will make this issue front and center and perhaps overtake obama care as the central focus going into november. >> so jamie, if you're sitting home and you're watching all of this unfold, no matter what party you participate in, what should you be looking for and why should you even care? if you're here illeglegally, wh immigration important to all of us? >> there's 11 million people that are undocumented who are illegal, as a big policy matter we have to figure out what that do with them. there's a border that's not
12:14 pm
secure, that allows immigrants to easily come over here, that needs to be dealt with. one aspect of the immigration debate, that we are educating students giving them phds in our universities and sending them back to their home countries and not giving them veisas to stay here. out affects our national security in the long run and the short run. it will affect all americans whether they see immigrants every day or deal with the issue every day, it affects them. >> thanks again. the loss of a legend this easter sunday. boxer ruben "hurricane" carter has died. carter you may know became an international symbol of racial injustice, after he spent nearly 20 years in prison in what
12:15 pm
turned out to be a wrongful murder conviction in new jersey in 1967. the hit song by bob dylan "hurricane" as well as a film starring denzel washington. rubin "hurricane" carter was 87 years old. tomorrow is the boston marathon and it's the first race as you know since last year's deadly attack three people were killed, morning 200 injured and when two home made bombs went off near the finish line, who could forget. this year, everyone involved is hoping to use the historic race as a symbol that terrorism will never prevail. brian, unlike any marathon we have seen before, i can only imagine the emotion at the starting line and the finish line. >> reporter: you're completely right, it will be unlike
12:16 pm
anything we have ever seen in terms of marathon races, it's a culmination of a year of healing, resilience, reflection and redemption, 36,000 runners will take part in the 118th boston marathon. it's the second most number of runners in the race's history and officials expangded the field of runners by 9,000 this year to include the runners who were not able to finish the last race after the bomb went off. many of those runners are looking for a sense of closure, including our very own fox news producer who was less than a half mile away from the finish line when the bombs went off and plannings to finish the race boston strong as so many do. the field will also include first responders and victims, their families and charities. fund-raisers have raised more than $60 million for the victims and meanwhile, a million people, the most ever are expected to cheer the runners along the 26.2
12:17 pm
mile route beginning at 8:50 a.m. to the finish line on boston's boyle street. monday is patriot's day and a year after the bombings, american runners have never been more moat slativated to finish . renee flanagan hopes to become the first woman to win the boston marathon since 1985. >> i'm sure there's security you can see and security you can't see at this year's race. what do we know about that? >> of course security will be unlike anything the marathon has seen before. there will be about 3,500 police officers under cover and those you can see, that's double last year. 40 security checkpoints, four times as many canine units and 100 new cameras installed along the boston marathon route. spectators are asked not to bring bags, sus indicates,
12:18 pm
runners can have fanny packs and water bottles one liter and smaller. and the patriots will play their baseball game tomorrow. he expects it to be very emotional but a day filled with happiness. >> we're wishing everyone well. thank you so much, brian. >> a wonderful day tomorrow as they start. >> coming up here on the fongs news challenge, we'll tell you about the dramatic testimony in the terror trial of the islamic cleric, you know he's known as dr. hook? our legal panel will weigh in on the one-eyed cleric who's accused of setting up terrorist training camps in our country. plus there are unlikely allies agreeing to a bill to keep u.n.'s ambassador. what the fbi has find of a friendly warning for those college students who plan to study abroad.

international effort to rid syria of chemical weapons. french president saying there are signs that the syrian regime is still using the deadly gas on its own people. he has, quote, information but no solid proof. the accusations coming despite a deal brokered last year by the u.s. and russia to destroy those weapons by june. the global chemical watch dog says the process is now 80% finished. iran defiant, challenging the u.s. at the united nations this coming tuesday over tehran's choice of u.n. ambassador. iran is appealing the deals with u.s. relations to try and reverse the ban. the white house has refused to issue a visa citing his role as a translator during the iranian
12:24 pm
crisis in 1979. he's also accused of being part of the a 1993 political assassination. that happened to be the leadi i iranian defector, he was shot to death as he went to his job at the council of -- the iranian opposition citing court papers saying he organized the hit on -- told fox news the allegation is, quote, nonsense and essentially opposition propaganda. with iran trying to get the ban lifted this tuesday, could it be? the middle east journalist and fox news contributor joins us now. iran is saying that what the u.s. is doing is illegal and violates international law. what about that? >> well, of course they're going to say that and they're going to fight this all the way. you have to understand they picked this guy on purpose,
12:25 pm
they're trying to be defiant. is he the last ambassador left in iran? of course not. and we cannot stop him from coming to the u.n. and the truth of the matter is we absolutely can because he'll have to come through the u.s. and if the u.s. deems him a national security threat then we will absolutely have to stop them. and just as iran is flexing their muscles to the region, to their own people at home, to the u.s. people that they're the boss, they're the ones calling the shots. it's the u.s.'s turn to flex our muscle and say we're not going to be duped one more time. >> president obama signed a bill on friday, but the president in signing it, the statement the white house says, they call i had visery. what does that mean? >> it's like telling your child you're grounded, but that's just a suggestion, you're not really grounded. it's the one opportunity that president obama has to stand united, the left, the right,
12:26 pm
this was a bipartisan effort, it was proposed by senator cruz, but it has unanimous support behind it. this is a huge stain on american history. he was involved in the embassy take over and now this is our turn to stand up for americans by having him come to the u.n., to come on to u.s. soil, it's offensive to americans, it's offensive to our history and it's just something that has to be done. >> he says he was a translator at the time and not there the day the embassy was taken over. but what about the allegations of this political assassination, let's take a look at the victim. he was 42 years, he was anner ra iranian government official. outspoken about what was going on in tehran. is it possible that he could come here? that's nabdi on the right speaking at a conference in
12:27 pm
italy. what will happen on tuesday when iran goes before the committee? can the committee overturn the deal? >> if they were sincere in making these deals with the west and the u.s., they wouldn't put this guy up. this morning i heard back inner rang, there's a general that's calling for the iranian regime to make a new choice and put up a new ambassador. it's their choice right now as to how they want to play it, but the u.s. has to stand strong. when president obama was candidate obama, he was gung ho with making this work with the iranian regime, and there are so many naysayers against the iranian deal, this is a chance for the president to say i'm not allowing hem to get one over on me, i'm going to call them out and put them this check. he cannot offend the american people. >> we showed it a second there, this is from the national council of resistance of iran. the signing of this bill into
12:28 pm
law is a prudent example for other countries to not allow iranian regime terrorists be allow skbod their territory. human rights abuses, espionage, it is common knowledge that virtual i all of the iranian regime's so-called diplomats have been in one form or another involved in criminal activities. that's quite an indictment. could that be true? >> this would be the second strike, and the first strike is egregious enough. if he was involved in the embassy takeover, regardless of his role, he's trying to say he was only a translator. that's the analogy of the guy who drives the car away from the bank robbery, was he not involved in the robbery? of course he was. he has a very shady past and the government know this is and he wasn't the last man standing in iran. obviously they're trying to make a symbolic month here. >> he hasn't been convicted of
12:29 pm
anything, but certainly for now he is barred and iran will go on tuesday to try and get that overturned. thank you for joining us with your analysis on this case today. the international space station getting a very special delivery today. what the astronauts got this easter sunday. and pope francis is celebrating the holiest day on the christian calendar, in front of a packed st. peter's square. more about his moving message for you. keep it right here, we'll be right back.

12:35 pm
with which has killed more than 150,000 people there, many of them orthodox christians, the pontiff today telling the faithful who packed st. peter's square this morning that in jesus love conquers hate. good concurs evil. he's focused the church in recent months away from traditional issues like abortion and homosexuality instead focusing outreach to the poor and to the abandoned. later in about a month or so, he will joining the orthodox church here on a visit to the holy land. he will also go to jordan and to israel. but he will be doing it in a spirit of unity with the orthodox church, it's a message that both bar thol lemieux really want to stress in the coming days and in the coming weeks, it's a message that they feel christians need to hear and
12:36 pm
the world needs to hear as well. >> thank you very much, connor and of course happy easter. >> happy easter. >> switching gears now to the trial of a islamic cleric. accused of conspiring to support al qaeda overseas and here at home by trying to open a terrorist training camp in oregon. his lawyers deny those charges saying he's just an opinionated cleric. let's bring in defense attorney and former prosecutor and also doug burns, i would love to see both of you on this case, because you're pretty fired up about it. >> yes. >> allow me and humor me to go back a second and ask you, doug, whether or not this case even belongs in a civilian court. >> that's a great point. that's at the core of the whole debate and discussion and there's been a lot of tense relate trick about that all the way through.
12:37 pm
you remember the attorney general and the justice department was going to try one of the premier terrorists downtown saying that's insane, vis-a-vis security in downtown manhattan and they changed their mind. you could easily charge that this should be in a military tribunal. >> what i find outrageous is that the defense is using a first amendment argument, freedom of speech, he may have been doing things that look like and mimic terrorist activity but that he's just -- >> i guarantee you we have the goods on this guy, because we spent a whole lot of time trying to extradite him over here from britain. so let's just assume that we think he's going to be not only convicted but we're going to be a lot safer when he's in a federal prison. >> are you saying the government actually has a weak case and the
12:38 pm
defense has a point with this freedom speech? >> no, i think the government has a strong case, which is why we spent so much time fighting to get him back over here. i think it's appalling and insulting that somebody who's trying to put a terrorist camp in the united states is looking to the first amendment as a protection from that charge, it's ridiculous. >> professor desh witch has spoken a lot on this, which is the difference between mere thought and speech versus some concrete action that creates liability. it's all going to come out in the evidence. under the u.s. conspiracy law, you need an overt act in any event. congress put that in so that it's not just about thoughts and speech. and i think what the facts are going to show is a lot of activity, all kinds of weapons were recovered from the mosque, there was throat slitting
12:39 pm
demonstrations. but again, i'm not prejudging anything, if it's mere speech, fine. i don't believe it is. >> that speech? >> if it turns out the trial evidence is mere speech, but i'm saying in my view, it's not but i'm not participating in the litigation. it's far beyond free speech for him to be wrapping himself in that amendment. rest of his put him behind life. >> to do that you need a trial? >> and to go back to your point really quickly, even if it's found that he he was just giving angry speech. not all speech is protected by the first amendment. >> good point. >> so that defense probably won't fly anyway. >> i'm glad that you brought that up. if you engage in speech, which incites violence, arguments for the overthrow of the government and then of course the tired
12:40 pm
cliche, shouting fire in a crowded theater, oliver wendell holmes. but lots of speech is not protected, even speech itself. >> we have taken an oath to uphold the law and we're giving publicity to whether it's free speech or not, it's destruct ty speech. it encourages terrorists, terrorist activity. plus they may have the overt acts as the trial continues. >> do i think we might see an amendment to our first amendment down the road that completely excludes anything that remotely sounds like terrorism or promoting terrorism? are we at that point in society where we might need that? maybe. i might be one to vote for such an amendment. and i enjoy the free speech. >> i don't think we're going back to punishing certain types of speech. we have had lots of adjustments because of terrorism, so there might be another one. >> but conviction?
12:41 pm
>> i don't think it's going to be a hard case for the government. >> we're watching it very closely, it's interesting and it's hurtful without a doubt. >> without a doubt. thank you. >> well, just when you thought prescription drugs couldn't get anymore expensive, wait for this. a possible billion dollar business deal that some fear could make our prescription prices skyrocket. and speaking of rockets, i bet you didn't think the easter bunny made space deliveries.

if a megamerger went through, what would it mean at the pharmacy, here from capital management, kyle, talk about $100 billion. why potentially have this deal and who would it benefit? >> a couple of things. you highlighted, it would be a megamerger. there are a lot of regulatory hurdles that this deal would have to pass through in an effort to go through. this would be a process. potentially with companies so large in the drug space, could potentially become what we call a monopoly. what that means is consumers like me and you could potentially pay higher prices for prescription medication if, in fact, that merger happened. so the government would look very closely at whether or not this would be considered a monopoly. in a monopoly situation, eric, you have one party basically
