fox. >> hello. >> thank you so much. back monday at noon. happening now starts right now. have a great weekend, everybody. >> happy spring. a big winter storm baring down on the east coast. >> for the first day of spring. we're covering all the news happening now. a new warning from a former top military commander about where the threat in iraq really lies. why he says isis is not america's biggest problem there. plus -- those words seem self-incriminating. could a legal tactic turn that unguarded moment to his defense team's advantage? it may be hawaii's most famous residence. the place that "magnum p.i." calls home sold for millions. speculation about who could live

in this over front paradise. it's all happening now. we begin with information on the massacre in tunisia. the gunmen may have targeted foreign tourists specifically. welcome to "happening now." >> a source telling fox news that the gunmen yelled at people in era bic to "lower your heads" and then they opened fire at the crowded muse sdeem. tunisian officials revealing the gunmen trained in neighboring libya before the attack. 21 people died in the gunfire that at that museum in tune is, 20 of them were tourists. officials now say nine arrests have been made in a manhunt continues this hour for more accomplices. isis is claiming responsibility for the attack. >> the death toll rising after homicide bombers attacks two mosques in yemen during friday

prayers today. the most crowded time of the week. more than 130 people are dead and 345 people were hurt in the blast according to reports on the ground. a bomber detonated his device in the mosque and another attacked the crowd as that crowd ran outside. a group claiming to be a branch of isis posted that it is responsible for the bombing. but like what's going on in tunisia tunisia that hasn't been confirmed. despite the influence across the middle east isis may not be the biggest threat in iraq. according to general david pa petraeus, he says the biggest threat facing the u.s. now is actually iran. national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon with more. >> reporter: his remarks were made in an interview with "the washington post." "i would argue the threat to

iraq's stability and the ee equilibrium is militias backed by and some guided by iran." he described how he and iran's shadowing top commander, who is now leading iraq's push into tikrit, exchanged barbs. petraeus was in iraq meeting leaders at a forum. the white house confirmed eded it still consults with the exdirector of the cia. >> he is regarded as an expert when it comes to the security situation in iraq. so i think it's -- it makes a lot of sense for senior administration officials to, of course occasion, consult him for advice. >> reporter: he didn't pull his punches blaming the rice ofse of isis

on washington as well as malakey. there was a sense that iraq should be put in our rearview mirror that whatever happened was peripheral to our national security and we could afford to direct our attention to more important situations. he said it's spewing radioactive information through the region warning the u.s. won't be successful while assad is able to bomb them. >> jennifer griffin, thanks. now to politics. the race for the republican presidential nomination could be the clash of two very popular and two different political figures. former florida governor jeb bush and wisconsin governor scott walker. two top potential candidates for 2016. there are some behind the scene s s jousting, if you will.

david, you document this well. it gives us insight into the emotion there between these two groups. what are you observing between these two camps? >> reporter: well, it looks like jeb bush will run his campaign based on principal. he knows he has some positions on immigration, on common core that are outside of what conservatives want. but that he is going to be unwavering, he is going to be up front about it and that's going to say he has a backbone. the contrast you have scott walker who is running a little more to the right, a little more adhering to most of the conservative positions. and he is going to be the new generation conservative of the moment. he talks about his humble upbringing, his fights in wisconsin. it's a contrast with jeb bush who came from, we know the long history of the bush family who has a familiar name in american politics. with walker a fresher face a new generation conservative and

someone who wants to turn the page to the future of the republican party. >> on the ground, are you watching messages come together from both sides? which seems to be better received? >> reporter: well, it's interesting. scott walker had a great month coming out of the year. he wowed people with his speech out there in iowa. he started -- he appeared in agriculture ral sumal summit and flipped a position on edge nal mandates. people thought it was kowtowing to iowaests. you started to get questions whether b whether he is switching his position to indicator to the first caucus state, which will begin the nominating process next year in iowa. you are starting to get that narrative, will scott walker move, will he stand on principal? he had an incident where he got rid of an aide who was critical of iowa and their role in the process. he pushed her aside. a lot of conservatives said will

he stand by the people he hire snz is he willing to take the flak? i think this is the expectation game that's going on. scott walker had a very quick rise. now you are getting a lot of questions about him. >> you put this well in your piece. i would like to read a little part of the article that you wrote on both of these men for our viewers. what you say is that the two, you are talking about bush and walker, are assembling operations meant for the long haul and are anticipated to secure financial resources to weather the debts along the way. the potential land mines that threaten each man's task to the nomination sit in plain sight. what about for bush? what are some of the landmine minds that are in sight for him? >> >> reporter: in new hampshire, they say i can't vote for another bush. they say this is not the future. so while bush's name opens doors for him with donors he will be

able to raise probably more than $100 million by this summer. it's a negative for a lot of voters who just want something different and think the best way to beat hillary clinton is to beat her with something fresh, and that would be scott walker. i think you are seeing that. these guys aren't talking about each other directly yet. but you are seeing it in some of the their comments. they are on the edges. but they are carving out the contrasts, especially scott walker talking about his humble beginnings, how he is a fresh start, how he is new, how he is different. those are all contrasts with jeb bush that i think you will see really be more specific as these guys ramp up. nobody announced yet, of course. >> right, right. i mean, it's hard to remember that. good point. even though he may try to be fresh, the politics game somehow always remains the same. you mapped out very well.

great reporting. appreciate having you on the show as always. thank you. >> reporter: thanks a lot. a former fbi agent facing charges now tampering with drug agent. matthew lawry took part in heroin investigations but he kept drugs in his car. they say he used some of the heroin himself. he is indicted on 64 counts. those allegations led federal prosecutors to dismiss charges against at least 28 different defendants. prosecutors say he falsified the paperwork trail for evidence to amount for the missing drugs. cold and snow blanketing the northeast on the very first day of spring. is there a warm-up on the horizon? are we there yet? we will talk about that. it wouldn't be march madness without any upsets. this one was big. so big it had the winning coach falling inging oust his chair inging

officially it may be the first day of spring, but winter is having a last laugh, at least for us in theest coast. the west coast you are having a drought out there and hot weather. on the east, another snowstorm expected to affect more than 30 million people. just in time for the weekend, in time for the commute home. how much are we talking about? >> happy news if you like winter, if you don't want to see winter end. listen, this time of year the sun angle is high enough that whatever snow you get, it melts quickly. it's hard to stick around for very long.

that's the good news. what snow we get it's going to be gone. it's cold here. it's warm across the plains and across the west as you were saying. that trend has not changed at all. the winter pattern we are stuck in it. that says there is no sign really of that breaking down. i can't say this will be the last of the snow that we will see. temperatures, 30 in scranton, 35 in new york 33 in philly. your averages for the last snow, we're at march 20th in new york city and that's the average for the last measureable snowfall. philly, you are later than that and boston another week for your averages. this is the storm right here. the snow has been snowing across much of pennsylvania and into jersey and it started about an hour ago in new york city. it's not as much a boston event. watch how this plays out. it's not here for a real long time. i think most everybody will be done with this by 7:00 or 8:00. the evening commute will be

hessy.hess y messy. the roads won't be that bad which is good news. maybe two to three inches of snow accumulating a little more out across long island by the time we're done with this for tomorrow morning waking up. temperatures, today is a cool day across the northeast. tomorrow we warm up getting to 50 in new york. it will melt quickly. then we get another batch of cold air that comes in. we're really warm across the plains. 74 in kansas city. more to summer conditions here across the plains. sunday, cold, monday same story here across the northeast. in general you get the idea this pattern doesn't really change all that much. continuing to see cold air move in across the great lakes and northeast. at least it's not as cold as january. >> that's very helpful. because you tell me this is normal, it doesn't make me feel any better. >> i hear that.

>> let me ask you a question. we have been doing this story about the drought out in california. it's 90% of our produce comes from there. does it look like it's going to get any rain out on the west coast? are we sharing the love at all? >> no, we're not. i'm glad you bring this up. i feel like we can't talk about this enough out across the west. they have a rainy season. that is the winter. we are at the end of it. by the time we get done with april, you barely get any rain across california for may, june, july, august, september, all the way to october. we got very little rain this winter. we're now heading into the dry season. it's been incredibly hot. is there no sign of this pattern changing at all. we're going into the fourth year of this drought. that's very, very scary news. it has impacts for everybody across the country, not just california. >> absolutely. we talk about the east coast because of the travel skiing big storms that affect everybody. but the potential for a nationwide affect because of

what's happening in california are big. regardless of the news, it's always nice to see you. >> you as well. thanks. >> it's a lovely 77 in los angeles. >> that's right. the drought is bad, but it does look nice out there. >> it surely does. how did your bracket hold up during the first full day of the ncaa tournament? here is a finish that probably hurt. 14 seed georgia state nailing it from way downtown to send baylor packing it up. ron hunter's son put up the winning shot. sorry. look closely at the georgia state bench. coach hunter cat erer cat poelting from his chair to the floor. he coaches from a chair after he tore his achilles tendon last week. he was celebrating his team's conference championship. >> good things come in threes. they had those two. i'm expecting something big from them.

creepy. you should see the whole show. that's from the hbo program "the jinx," a series where real estate heir robert durst appears to confess words that could haunt him. or might it actually help his case? if it hinges on a legal doctrine in california called the rule of completeness prosecutors might introduce that apparently incriminating clip. the law would allow defense attorneys to introduce a fair representation of something else from the show, maybe all of the show so jurors get a more complete picture. jurors could actually hear from durst without him taking the stand and being subjected to cross examination. here is our legal panel to delve into this. fred, former federal prosecutor ashley, criminal defense attorney. good to see you both.

fred, at first when i was thinking about the doctrine of completeness, wow, that's a risk for prosecutors. but i saw all six hours and there's nothing in there that portrays durst in a favorable light. he cops across as creepy and a killer. >> exactly. it's interesting, i don't have hbo because i have enough trouble getting off the couch as it is but from what i understand from the show, it's as you said. the law of completeness, the same law in federal court and in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, is if you introduce part of a statement, the other side has a right to insist the rest of the statement be admitted at that time. whether or not that's just a circumstances and statements around the one show or the whole show will get played out by the judge. under the rules of privacy, which means juries believe what they hear first, if i'm the prosecutor, i put in the creepy confession and the rest where he makes denials. let the defense side spin it.

that's why they have people like ashley. >> let me put up on the screen the full text of what he says in the bathroom. he is having a conversation to himself which he does insays antly. very weird. i went back and i looked at what precedes that. that ends the show. there's only one thing he says that is exculpatory. that is oh i didn't write the da calfer note that the killer wrote. but it wasn't convincing. if you were thecution, would you introduce that tape or not? >> i would definitely introduce that tape. i think it's very powerful evidence, because it's his own

words saying he killed them all. i would spin that. i would try and use it to my advantage and try and use it so the jury is hearing from my client without him being subject to cross examination. it's powerful. >> how do you spin it? i mean my goodness. i killed them all. >> good luck. >> he's not just fantasizing although, i'm sure that's what the defense will claim. boy, that dog won't hunt. >> i would argue that it's for tv. this was clearly for tv. this is a show, even though it's a documentary, it's -- how tv is going these days. this isn't really a documentary. >> are you saying the conversation was for tv? you get the clear sense he forgot he had his mike on when he retreated to the bathroom, ashley. >> right. that's obviously what the state will argue. as a defense attorney, you have to take what you get thrown at you. while i wouldn't be happy to have this evidence thrown at me what i would do is try to work with it and try and say that my

client, maybe he didn't really mean exactly what he said. it was taken out of context. because he said i killed them all. >> you know, i want to show a clip to you, fred and get your reaction. let me set this up. the killer writes a note to police in beverly hills saying where the body is. uses the term cadaver but misspells beverly hills. previously, durst had sent the victim a letter misspelling beverly hills. the filmmaker, very clever, juchl ta juchl toe poses this, confronts durst with it. take a look. >> you wrote one of these but you didn't write the other one? >> i wrote this one. i did not write the cadaver one. >> can you tell me which one you didn't write? >> no. >> got you. well, i mean, my goodness. if you are a prosecutor, don't

you want that? you don't want to re-enact that in the courtroom with your own sheet of paper. you want to play that because look at his face. he is shocked. >> i know. i know. you do want to play that. i think you have to play it. even though i heard allegations and read there's some question whether the handwriting expert for the police department had done a proper analysis or come to the right conclusion, jurors are allowed to reach their own conclusion on stuff like that. you don't have to have expert testimony. you hit the nail on the head. the guy looked shocked. this guy has fled. he was found waring disguises. he has been taking less than $10,000 out since october. he is showing evidence of consciousness of guilt to flee. there's evidence against this guy. i think the case is tough for the state. but this guy is clearly guilty. i think he will get conflicted. >> i don't think he can get flight because he hadn't been charged. maybe they can get it in. >> good to see you both. thanks so much. >> have a good weekend.

we will talk a little bit more about the robert durst case. the immediatemedia was mentioned quite a bit. the analysis of the coverage and the impact on this case. plus, what does one of the most famous houses in hawaii have to do with the first family?

i'm louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. quitting smoking is a challenge and it's a lot easier to go into a fight when you've got somebody that's got your back. having chantix as a partner made it more successful. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking.

chantix helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. chantix absolutely helped me quit smoking. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. nuclear talks with iran reportedly stahling over the

sanctions on tehran and how soon they might be listed. notion ace they are demanding relief something the united states and other world powers won't agree to. ed henry joining us live with more. >> reporter: good to see you. it's interesting. john kerry is wrapped up this round of negotiations. he will head to europe to try to brief some of our allies about where the talks are ahead of this march 24th deadline to get a deal. we're told he is going to be on the phone with the chinese and russians to try and build support, of course, within the u.n. security council potentially down the road to try and codify this deal. the president has gotten more involved by sending a video directly to the iranian people in celebration of a pure shan holiday. the president talks about urging the iranian people to support a deal something that might make hard liners in iran upset he is going around the iranian

leadership. the president was critical of republicans on capitol hill for getting involved with that open letter to the iranian leadership that he suggested might blow up a potential deal with iran.arnest on the president's move. why doesn't he address the american people and talk about the details and be transparent? >> i think in the context of interviews and including one the president is scheduled to do later today and the context of news conferences, the president has talked about what our priorities are in terms of trying to resolve diplomatically the international community's concerns with iran's nuclear program. but what's also true is that there isn't a deal. >> reporter: the president doing an interview later today where maybe he will get into some of these details. last night lindsayey graham was upset they might not allow a

vote but might go straight to the u.n. >> here is what the president needs to understand. if you go to the u.n. security council and you try to bypass congress to get this deal approved by the security council but not come to your own congress, you are going to risk congress cutting off money to the u.n. >> reporter: that could be a big fight ahead. the president pushing this deal with iran to get a legacy out of it. >> ed henry at the white house. thanks. a media firestorm around robert durst. questions of whether the coverage of this case could impact his chances of getting a fair trial. joining us host of "media buzz." a lot of has been written by robert durst over the last week and the finale of the hbo documentary. some are comparing it to o.j. simpson, saying this is the o.j. simpson trial of this generation. do you agree? >> i suppose whether it's

televised. it's hard to imagine how can he get a fair trial. not that i have any sympathy for robert durst. we have been subjected to coverage saying he did it he confessed, he is guilty based on those bathroom multer ermutterings to himself. how you find jurors who haven't heard, if not the original hbo series, all the coverage of it painting him as an admitted murderer. >> it's the same sort of question that we have raised over the trial of the -- now convicted murderer of chris kyle and the movie "american sniper" as well. we asked these questions about whether this was hurting the fight for justice or whether or not it was helping. how do you see it here? did the media in its role, including the documentary makers did it -- is this helping justice or do you think it's exploiting? >> well what we had here is an apparent case of collusion. there's no other word for it,

between the hbo filmmakers and law enforcement. i'm not buying that it was just some kind of weird coincidence that robert durst was arrested the night before the hbo finale and all the ahype boosted the ratings. you wonder why the hbo filmmakers -- they said they discovered that audiotape later. two years after the words were uttered. why they didn't give that to the cops earlier. it's evidence in a criminal case. but if this had come out months earlier, it's going to kill interest in the series. seems like both sides were serving the other's interest but maybe not the interest of swift justice. >> swift justice maybe where the focus should be. you have a big show sunday. what's your big topic this weekend? >> i spent the day yesterday at the university of virginia reporting on the bloody arrest of a 20-year-old student and

how -- there was a dispute over an i.d. on st. patrick's day. he ended up with ten stitches. different take on this talking to black students who are angry about what they describe as a culture of racism. they bring up michael brown in ferguson. different reaction from white residents and white students who think this is all being overblown. the question i'm trying to ask is, why is this a national story? why has there been -- there are so many unanswered questions about how he went from this what should have been a routine arrest to the kid ending up with a bloody forehead. when you have videos, you see what looks terrible but you don't see what leads before it. there's no video showing how the confrontation got out of control. we have a report on that on sunday. >> what struck you most after you got back from your day of reporting there on the campus, what resonated most with you? >> one was the way in which black students -- even while acknowledging they don't know what happened or whether race was a factor at all -- kept

bringing up eric garner and michael brown. the other was the 16 television crews that descended on charlottesville, virginia, because this story fits a narrative. the facts may not completely support that. we don't know yet, which is something we have to keep in mind. >> sounds like a great show as usual, 11:00 a.m. eastern time on the fox news network. it's great to see you as always. thanks very much. >> thanks. breaking news on the sale of one of hawaii's most famous homes after one of president obama's closest friends reportedly bought the house that was used in the hit show "magnum p.i." william? >> minutes ago the white house said the obamas were not behind the purchase. that doesn't mean they won't necessarily live there at some point. why? because in the past, big donors and supporters have bought homes

for a president like a gift. this property definitely meets the specs a president would need. it's huge. three acres. only minutes from the air force base. it could get the president on or after the island quick. a long sand beach. the down side, it was built 80 years ago. it needs an update. that's nothing money can't buy which the ex-president's future earnings would say are not a problem. the property looks familiar, it is. it's from the tv show "magnum p.i." starring tom selleck. >> any truth to this? are the obamas behind the purchase? >> they are not. >> everyone involved in the deal signed a confidentiality agreement. no one is saying if this is going to be the president's next

house. obama donor and chicago lawyer set up the company listed as the buyer. the deed was signed at a chicago firm run by obama's friend and golf partner. she's currently the commerce secretary and heir to the hyatt hotel fortune. the hawaii estate sold for $8.7 million. 800 grand for repairs. the sole buyer did not say who would live there. it could be for him and maybe he's planning a surprise for the obamas. we don't know the answer. >> one thing is for sure, it's beautiful. thanks. >> that would be a great surprise. we have news coming out of capitol hill today. big ones at that. the chairman of the select

commit on benghazi who has been out in front of the issue all along has now sent a letter to former secretary of state hillary clinton to turn over the server that she used for official state department business. he is asking it to be turned over to a third party, a neutral third party for analysis is what he is talking about or the inspector general for the state department. our producer on capitol hill reminds us that the committee can only subpoena people and documents. the committee cannot subpoena the server, which is why this letter is important. it's an official request for hillary clinton to turn over the server to a third party so it can be examined. for any information that could be on there that could be relevant to this committee's investigation investigation. we will keep you posted. this news is friday is that this letter has owefficially been sent. could a vitamin prevent

chair of urology at lenox hill hospital joins us. pregnant women take folic acid. studies have shown that's good for them. what about this study here that it reduces risks? is this a good study medically speaking? >> we like this study because for many reasons. one is the fact that they have about 20,000 participants which is great for this particular study. they followed it for five years. what they did was they divided the two groups into 10000 people, took folic acid and ace inhibiter. the only factor was one group got the folic acid and the other didn't. they followed them for five years. the group that took vitamin b had 21% lower chance of first-time stroke, which is significant. should everybody out there who has high blood pressure go out and start taking vitamin b or folic acid?

no. talk to your doctor. all the vegetables that you see on the screen you can get a lot of vitamin b from. from nuts veggies. have a balanced diet is important. if you are at high risk, high blood pressure, high risk for stroke, cut salt out of your diet, the first thing, and talk to your doctor and see if this will be helpful. presumably, it reduces a prefactor for stroke. i like this study. i think if you don't take vitamin b on a regular basis get one of the multivitamins that has vitamin b in it. >> now that's vitamin b. i want to switch to vitamin d. there's a new study out that -- d as in dog, by the way. that vitamin d doesn't help reduce high blood pressure. this >> this is the first time we're getting a surprise negative study on vitamin d. we have spoken about it all the time when it comes to multiple sclerosis. in my field of prostate cancer it may reduce that. vitamin d has been around for healthy -- for your bones.
