kids about. >> i want to congratulate harry reid for retiring from the senate. his finest hour. thank you, mr. reid. thank you to all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot. i hope to see you next week. shedding light on the possible mindset of the germanwings pilot. he had been through a breakup with his fiance and he may have been grappling with vision problems that may have jeopardized his career as a pilot. i'm kelly wright. welcome. >> i'm heather childers in for julie banderas. a whole lot of news to cover for you. the revelations that kelly was talking about don't stop there. we're learning that the co-pilot may have visited an area near the crash site as a child as a

member of the german gliding club saying between 1996 and 2003 lubitz's family were regulars at an airfield in the town of sisteron. all of this as crews continue to look for the victims who have to be i.d.'d by dna. amy kellogg is reporting live with the latest. amy? >> reporter: hi, heather. through locals they have been badly shaken by the tragedy. the fact that andreas lubitz spent a lot of time here is particularly haunting for them. and according to one friend he loved the alps. he was even heather, obsessed with the alps. in terms of other revelations today, an ex-girlfriend who was a flight attendant told the newspaper that he had warned one

day he'd carry out an odious act. he'd sometimes wake up in the night from bad dreams, screaming we are going down. now, on sunday bild reports that lubitz's body parts have been identified and they're keen to test them for substances. the investigators discovered a lot of psychiatric medication in his apartment and notes that indicated that he was in a deep depression. bild also said that he was reportedly suffering from a vision problem. the families have been visiting the memorial site to those who died in the crash and local chaplains say they want to help those families deal with what they call a double trauma of loss and anger. these chaplains recognize that the grief of the victims' families is that much more intense because a human being caused this. on that note, a top french investigator, heather, is trying to back off a little bit on all

of the -- not speculation, but basically the scenario that's now widely accepted that andreas lubitz purposely crashed this plane because of some mental issues. he said french investigators are still going with that scenario, but they need to keep other options open other possible scenarios such as a mechanical one. a french pilot union meanwhile has filed a lawsuit because of the leaks that got out before the investigators opened their mouths and they also say that they have doubts about what was heard on the voice recorder because they say that the a-320 has a noisy cockpit, that it would have been hard to hear the breathing that led everyone to believe or investigators to believe that lubitz was alive at the moment of the crash. heather? >> yeah amy that information has started to come out very, very quickly after this crash. thank you so much, amy kellogg live for us. fox news has now confirmed the u.s. is preparing to increase its aid to saudi arabia as it carries out air strikes against iranian supported houthi rebels in yemen.

that aid expected to be in the form of bomb lodgist cal support and midair refuelling of saudi fighter planes. several arab nations led by saudi arabia and egypt are now vowing to defeat the rebels at any cost and are debating whether to create a multinational force. the ousted president blames tehran for th and he called the rebels the stooges of iran. well, al qaeda's branch in syria has claimed the key city, and they have retreated from the surrounding bases of the city. marking the first time that the regime has lost control of the strategic city since the start of the country's civil war back in 2011. this is the second syrian city al qaeda militants have captured just the week. this u.n. estimates 220,000 people have died since the war in syria began.

a 12-hour siege by al shabaab terrorists is now over. the special forces confirm at least 24 people were killed in the attack. including the six gunmen and the country's ambassador to switzerland. the u.s. is issuing a statement just a short time ago condemning the terror attack. it began friday when one militant detonated a bomb at the gate. six gunmen then took position inside the building. al shabaab frequently carries out bombings in neighboring kenya. well a battle over religious freedom is brewing in indiana. governor mike pence has signed a bill to allow businesses to refuse service for faith-based reasons. now, the states coming under fire as protesters expressed their concerns over what they call religious discrimination. the bill getting slammed on social media. there's a hash tag for it. #boycott indiana. will carr is live with more from los angeles. good afternoon, will.

>> reporter: heather, this has sparked an emotional debate on both sides. the final four is going to be held in indianapolis next week and that means tens of thousands of people will be on hand. with that in mind, the ncaa has released a statement which in part reads, the ncaa nation office and our members are committed to including an inclusive environment for our events. and we are concerned about how this could affect our student athletes and employees. this comes as we have seen protests. the law doesn't go into effect until july 1, but some are saying they won't visit the hoosier state until the law is repealed because the opponents say it could lead to discrimination. >> it's embarrassing for our state. it's embarrassing for the people of indiana. it is going to tell the rest of the world that this is a place where it's safe to turn your back on your fellow hoosiers.

>> reporter: governor mike pence signed the legislation on thursday. it's based on federal law that was signed by president bill clinton back in 1993. indiana's new law after some christians have been sued or fined after refusing service to gay couples getting married. >> i want to be very clear on this point. this bill is not about discrimination discrimination. if i thought it was about discrimination i would have vetoed it. >> reporter: last year, arizona governor jan brewer vetoed a similar bill because of what she called vague language. it's important to point out that currently roughly 20 states had similar laws on the books and that others are looking to do so. heather? >> all right. some watching this case. thank you, will carr. amanda knox acquitted of murdering her roommate after roughly eight years of legal battles.

italy's highest court overturning the conviction. she and her then boyfriend were found guilty in the killing of british student meredith kercher. they spent four years in prison before being acquitted. that acquittal was overturned and the decision was reversed and ends the case for good now. knox said she's in disbelief. >> i'm so grateful and i -- i'm so grateful to have my life back. thank you. right now i'm still absorbing what all of this means. and what -- what comes to mind is my gratitude for the life that's been given to me. >> amanda knox. the judges concluded that the evidence did not support a conviction. their reasoning behind the decision will be released within 90 days. well, still to come a former partner in a major silicon

valley investment firm losing her gender discrimination case against them. why ellen powell said she's still walking away a winner though. and hillary clinton's e-mail server apparently wiped as clean as a slate. what this means for the house committee, and investigation in benghazi. >> i have no interest in e-mails about bridesmaid dresses, but public record is all of our business. mouths are watering, and stomachs are growling. or is that just me? it's lobsterfest red lobster's largest variety of lobster dishes all year. double up with dueling lobster tails. or make lobster lover's dream a reality. but here's a reality check: it ends soon.

.

ellen powell loses her gender bias case against a major venture capital firm in silicon valley. a jury ruling in favor of the company where powell was a partner. she sought $16 million, alleging

that the firm didn't promote her because she was a woman. they retaliated against her for complaining about discrimination. although she lost her case, she helped other women by sharing her story. >> i want to thank my family and my friends for your love and support during the very challenging times. if i have helped to level the playing field for women and minorities in venture capital, then the battle was worth it. through it's time for me to get -- now it's time for me to get back to my career. >> ellen powell is now the interim ceo of reddit. a subpoena on hillary clinton's private e-mail server apparently hitting a major roadblock. this is according to south carolina congressman trey gowdy. the chairman of the house committee on benghazi said, quote, secretary clinton decided to permanently delete all her e-mails from her personal server. while it is not clear precisely when secretary clinton decided to permanently delete all e-mails from her server, it

appears she made the decision after october 28, 2014 when the department of state for the first time asked the secretary to return her public reports to the department. let's bring in the democratic pollster and strategist and a senior political strategist and a former deputy assistant to president george w. bush. thank you both for joining us on this saturday. we appreciate it very much. jesse, i'm going to begin with you. what is your reaction to this latest news that she permanently deleted these e-mails and in fact wiped her server clean? >> well first i want to go back, to the fact we don't know what then happened in reference to the subpoena. but i think this brings up a big issue with transparency that hillary clinton has. i believe that she shouldn't have deleted them. so, you know, she turned over what she said was to be public. the 30,000. then she deleted the other 30,000 or wasn't going to turn them over. now everything -- i think they

only saved 60 days of e-mails. it seems like if she's not breaking the law this is not in the spirit of honesty and transparency transparency. >> you heard trey gowdy say she made this decision on october 28th, after the request was made for her to fully disclose this. >> this is what the clintons do and remember how hillary clinton honed her craft as a 27-year-old attorney, she was on the house judiciary committee during the watergate committee and she was fired by the democrats after they said she lied to them and unethical in the treatment of the president in onbstructing justice. hillary clinton knows exactly if there's no record, then there can't be any liability on her part. so what did she do? she not only erased them, but she absolutely deleted them from her server. by the way, when she gave her statement about the server, she said that it will remain

private. she never said that it was wiped clean. this is the kind of parsing that we always get from the clintons. >> not only didn't say it had been wiped clean, but asked for a two-week extension. why ask for a two-week extension if you know you wiped the server clean. >> i don't know what you ask for a two week extension. i don't have inside information on that. i'd go back to the point i don't think this is a good move where you want to run honestly and transparentally and the obama administration promised to be the most administration in history and they failed on that. i think it's a major problem for her going forward. >> let's talk about that, moving forward, brad. you bring up a good point. how will this affect her when we're in the race for the white house? >> well, it's not over and the oversight committee is going to do what they did in this -- in the congressional committees with lois lerner.

they thought the e-mails were gone there as well and they were not. he has to get possession of the servers and find out who the third parties were, who installed them, who maintained them and forensic teams have to go through this. nothing is ever really gone. a perfect example was in the irs investigation. >> that's a great point to bring up and what do you think, jessica, should they continue to move forward on this or republicans drop this? they're walking a fine line in terms of the election as well. >> whether or not they should drop it or not doesn't matter, they're not going to drop it. i'm not saying it's not worth further investigation. but i think, you know, hillary clinton has said that she's perfectly willing to come forward and to talk to the american public about the content of her e-mails and what went on there. so trey gowdy should take her up on that and we should hear what she has to say for herself. not just if iing it and maybe

they're not gone forever. but maybe they are. >> brad, you get the final word quickly. should we trust her to talk about it when she's shown she's not exactly been completely honest? >> trust and verify. let's hope that why the clintons don't have very much credibility. that has to be substantiated by evidence. the evidence needs to be produced. >> thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate it. >> thank you. well as we look ahead to 2016 what we were just speaking about, we hear from one potential gop presidential candidate who is taking his mission to balanced budgets on the road. ohio governor john kasich shares his thoughts on a presidential run tomorrow morning with maria bartiromo. that's live at 10:00 a.m. eastern here on the fox news channel. a study on middle aged men, claiming there's something you can do to reduce your risk of cancer later on. you know what, it's pretty simple. a member of our medical a-team

is next. when eating healthy and drinking water just isn't enough to ease my constipation i trust dulcolax tablets. i take dulcolax for dependable overnight relief and in the morning i am back to myself dulcolax, designed for dependable relief

>> welcome back. new research claims that reducing your risk for cancer may be as easy as hitting the gym. a study focusing on middle aged men says that guys who stay fit as they got older actually reduced their risk of deadly cancer later in life by about a third. that's significant. joining me now is dr. david samadi, a professor of urology at hofstra north shore and a member of the fox news medical a-team. a mouthful. look, this seems to be

significant, for once we have some stats on what exercise in men can do to prevent, you know tough cancers. >> well, that's exactly a good point. we knew about the relationship between exercise and heart disease, stroke, heart attack. et cetera. this is an interesting study because it talks about exercise and cancer. while in heart disease it opens up the vessels, more blood comes to the heart. what does it do in relation to cancer? what they're finding out in the study that was published in "jama" oncology, it followed the 14,000 of the men. it found out that exercise reduces the hormones that leads to cancer. it boosts your immune system. it reduces inflammation that turns into the cancer. so it's a significant study. let me say this is not a cause and effect. it's the association study, but still if you have any reason or excuse to go out and work out, i

think it's an investment in men out there. i'm sure in women with breast cancer. go out and exercise. what you do today in 30s and 40s will pan out in the late life in 60s and 70s. active, they shouldn't stop. they should keep doing it. >> absolutely. this is a great way to lose the weight, reduce the inflammation making sure you're in good shape. i always say what's good for the heart, it's good for the brain and it's prevention for cancer. in my field we really are looking for any kind of excuse to encourage people to go out there and exercise and this is another way to really do it. now, what they see is that there's reduction in lung cancer, in colon cancer, not a lot of difference in prostate cancer but we need more and more studies. is exercise good for you in relation to cancer the answer is yes. >> all the way around. >> we'll put more information online on this new blog i want you to go to samadimd.com

including you. >> i'll do that. >> i think it will help with your health. a lot of research goes into getting the studies and we'll put them out there and we'll send e-mails and letters. >> that's actually real good. the specifics of this study does it determine what type of exercise and how long the exercise should be? >> it doesn't go into details of how many times and how long you should be exercising but my advice to a lot of people is at least three times a week half an hour to hour of cardiovascular exercise is absolutely the way to go. >> great advice. dr. samadi always enjoying your perspective. make sure you go to samadimd.com and the doctor will be looking out for you and here at fox we are always looking out for you. >> that's true. i know over the years it has helped you tremendously. >> you can watch "sunday house call" to see dr. samadi.

heather childers. >> i'm kelly wright. and topping the news chilling new information about the pilot who crashed a plane in the french alps this past week killing 150 people on board. what a former girlfriend said he once vowed to do. plus, yemen on the verge of civil war. the middle east country's now joining the fight and what a senior u.s. defense official says the pentagon will likely do to help a key ally in the fight. and how thieves are stealing people's identities to go see a doctor, get prescription drugs and more. a look at medical identity theft and what laws if any, can protect against it. but we begin with negotiations with iran at a critical juncture just days away from a deadline on reaching a preliminary deal on its nuclear program. secretary of state john kerry meeting today with iranian foreign minister mohammed zarif

in switzerland along with the french and german foreign ministers the talks to hammer out a deal under which iran would put restraints on its nuclear work in exchange for the lifting of sanctions but so far there's still a lot of work to be done. peter doocy is live for us in washington. good afternoon, peter. >> good afternoon, heather. the most recent update we've got on where things stand in switzerland is actually coming from the iranians who have been demanding that all u.n. sanctions on them get lifted as soon as the deal is done and who are still saying that they want to be able to do some nuclear research. so their foreign minister zarif tweeted this afternoon, quote, a negotiation both sides must show flexibility. we have. and are ready to make a good deal for all. we ai want our counterparts' readiness. this comes amid a swirl of new reports about iran fighting america's friends in the middle east that fuel more curiosity about the obama administration's

big picture plan about a relationship with iran because so far they haven't been specific at all and the lack of detail has the israelis very worried. >> the world has just gone scraz crazy. the president of the united states is exchanging love letters with the ayatollah khomeini who is shouting death to america and at the same time snubbing the leader of his closest ally israel. the president of the united states is sleeping with the enemy and at the same time doing nothing about the terror which iran is causing havoc with all over the world. >> so this is it. german foreign minister says they are entering the end game of negotiations, but beyond that we still don't know which side is making the most concessions. but we should know more by tuesday, that's the deadline for all sides to agree on a framework. then they can slow down a little bit and work on hammering out final points until june. heather? >> all right, until june and a

framework both being the key phrases there. peter doocy, thank you. mideast countries joining the fight in yemen. a u.s. defense official says the u.s. will likely said aid for saudi-led air strikes against iran-backed rebels. yemen on the verge of a civil war risking a larger battle throughout the middle east this as egypt is joining the campaign against the rebels. conner powell is live in jerusalem with the latest. >> reporter: that sunni country's list of joining this saudi arabian coalition continues to grow with egypt and morocco and jordan all part of the effort. now at least in name only. this is still very much a saudi arabian military operation against the iranian houthi rebels and it's saudi jets that appear to be targeting yemen. they appear to be targeting depots captured by the rebels. the rebels showing no signs of

losing their grip on power in yemen. they continue to make a push for the port city of aiden. there are also new reports of heavy clashes between shiite rebels and sunni tribal fighters in the southern part of the country. u.n. officials and diplomats from several countries including saudi arabia fleeing the important city of aiden as the fight intensifies there and in egypt, the deposed president told the arab league summit that the rebels are iran's puppets and he called on sunni arab countries like jordan and egypt and morocco to help defeat them. the u.s. has said it will provide additional support. it has already provided some intelligence to the saudi arabian government, but it will also provide some additional support including possibly logistic support and also maybe even possibly weapons. right now it isn't clear if there would be any type of ground invasion by the saudis. they seem to be backing away from that right now and relying instead on air strikes. and even if the united states

does provide more support there's really no talk of u.s. troops troops being part of a ground invasion. but certainly with iran's influence growing in the middle east, kelly, there's a real concern about this sort of sunni/shia war that could develop not only in yemen but also expand into other borders and countries as well. there's a real concern that this fight between houthi rebels and the previous yemeni government could really spark a much wider sectarian fight in the entire middle east, kelly. >> that is a major concern. conner powell thank you for the update and reporting from israel, thanks. another story we're following, we're learning more about the germanwings copilot who deliberately downed a packed air liner over the french als last week killing 150 people. a former girlfriend now saying the 27-year-old once vowed to, quote, do something that would make people remember his name. now, this as "the new york times" reports that lubitz

apparently sought treatment for vision problems that may have jeopardized his ability to work as a pilot. meanwhile dozens of mourners gathering at one of several memorial services today for the victims of the crash. and the recovery efforts, they continue at the crash site. investigators say that they will need to conduct dna tests in order to identify all of those victims. so, how could this have happened? and what can the airline industry learn from this tragedy? we will speak with retired navy captain chuck nash all about that and more. that is coming up a little bit later in this hour. the feds say the onetime leader of a murderous new york gang has resurfaced decades later as a radical imam at a florida mosque. marcus dwanel robertson is a former u.s. marine accused of sending young supporters abroad for terror training. robertson is in prison for a gun conviction but may fails more serious charges. a private investigators said he

has links to al qaeda and was linked to the so-called blind sheikh whose radical muslim group was behind the first world trade center bombing. a decorated boston police officer is fighting for his life after being shot in the face during a routine traffic stop. 34-year-old officer john moynihan is in a medically indeuced coma. police say that video from the scene last night shows officer moynihan approaching the driver's door when 41-year-old angela west pulled a gunpoint blank and shot him. west continued firing at officers, and he was killed at the scene. >> he's a highly decorated military vet one of our most outstanding officers in the youth violence task force out there every night taking the guns off the street. >> officer moynihan received a national award for being a first responder on the scene leading to the arrest of the boston marathon bombing suspect back in 2013. another woman was hurt in the

shooting but is expected to be okay. well two people are still missing after an apparent gas line explosion in a new york city apartment building. today, dogs are searching through the rubble and officials from the medical examiner's office they're on the scene as well. officials are looking for these two men. 23-year-old nicholas figueroa was on a date in the restaurant where the explosion occurred. 26-year-old moises hukong worked there. three buildings were leveled in the disaster. 22 people were injured. four of them critically. okay. so, drastically different temperatures all across the country this weekend. highs in the east 10 to 25 degrees below average. no janice don't you go away. do not go away! temperatures across the west, the plains marmwarmer than usual. snow, snow, falling in new england and along long island here in the city. janice what is happening? >> i got nothing. i give up!

uncle! uncle! >> come on do something. >> i know. well, long-range forecasts looking ahead, say, two weeks, so mid-april, things will improve. we think. >> okay. >> but we have to let mother nature in on that. but for now, look, i mean, 10 to 25 degrees below average for parts of the upper midwest, the great lakes, the northeast. i mean, even down south towards florida they're at least 10 degrees below where they should be for this time of year. looking at the radar, we have a system moving into the northwest and yes snow. when i left my house on long island this morning, there was snow. i didn't even want to take a selfie i'm so done. so, taking a look at the last 12 hours, i mean, well, what can i say? we're dealing with the potential for snow showers overnight tonight and into tomorrow. and even into next week. so there's our next system, a clipper system across the great lakes, the midwest and then into monday we will potentially see snow showers in our future monday and tuesday. incredible.

april. april, april. can't come fast enough. but, look nearing record lows across the northeast. and then across the west we're dealing with potentially record highs. but, again, more bad news across the tennessee river valley the midsouth, where we're dealing with a hard freeze overnight so make sure you protect those vulnerable plants. bring the pets indoors, i mean really! >> come on is it just a big april fool's joke, is that what is happening here, janice? >> i think i'm sticking with that excuse. >> okay. thank you so much. >> you got it. >> appreciate it. >> all right. >> look what mother nature is doing. >> i know. remember this video we're about to show it was the live video that had a lot of people talking and social media -- >> oh, yes. >> -- buzzing. do you remember that? >> yes. >> do you remember the llamas on the loose in arizona why the government is targeting its owner. we'll introduce you to a christian group that is blazing trails in the music world, and they have an awesome faith

message as well, right, kelly? >> yeah, they do. they do indeed. and harry reid the most powerful democrat in the senate is set to retire. what a decision will mean for the 2016 election and the future of congress. >> what harry understands is the same thing that i understand and that or founding fathers understood, which is, you know the system works better when over time some new blood comes in. we've had a great run. harry's run's been a little longer than mine.

well, two llamas who stole the national spotlight by making a run for it in phoenix are heading into retirement. who could forget these two? check it out. that's what they did. they had to be lassoed, and their great escape sparked a social media frenlzy and federal officials told their owners they would need a license to show case the pair. so, today the llamas are making their final appearance at an event at the phoenix racetrack. >> unless they decide to break free and go for another run. they'll make an appearance. a bombshell announcement by

harry reid just months after his party's shellacking in the midterms, the nevada democrat and senate minority leader says he will not seek another term in 2016. reid says that his recent fall made him consider other options. >> this accident has caused us for the first time to have a little downtime. i have had the time to ponder and to think. we've got to be more concerned about the country the senate the state of nevada than us, and as a result of that i'm not going to run for re-election. >> well, new york senator chuck schumer the top contender to be the next minority leader, so what is the impact of all of this as democrats hope to take back power in 2016? aaron blake is a political reporter for "the washington post" and he joins us now. thank you for joining us, first of all but i want to get your thoughts to begin with on whether you believe this is actually why harry reid is stepping down. is it just out of the goodness of his heart? >> yeah, you know, harry reid

obviously was senate majority leader for a long time. the democrats lost the senate in the 2014 election. they do have a chance of winning it back in 2016 but harry reid was also going to have a very very difficult re-election campaign. i think that, you know as one of the longest-serving majority leaders, party leaders, in the senate in history, i think he kind of saw the writing on the wall and like you said the pretty major accident that he had recently gave him some time to think about his future. i think that this was seen as a pretty likely outcome. >> okay, he's been thinking about his future and a lot of people apparently already have been thinking about who will replace him. it looks like from initial reports that it will, in fact, be senator chuck schumer, minority whip dick durbin saying he'll stem aside and elizabeth warren says she will not run. what do you think's going on here? >> right. those were the two people who could have potentially given chuck schumer some problems. i don't think they would have been able to beat him. obviously there is a liberal wing of the party that might be in line with warren and dick

durbin actually outranks chuck schumer right now so he would have been the most obvious successor at least how things generally work. but chuck schumer, you know, he helped democrats win back the senate in 2006. he's been raising money for the party for years and years. he has a lot of allies in the democratic caucus and the senate which i think made it impossible for anybody to beat him. i think if anybody thought they had a chance to beat him they certainly would have at least given it a day or so and talked to some of their colleagues. this really happened very, very quickly. >> harry reid doesn't exactly have the reputation of working with republicans that well over the past several years. do you think that senator chuck schumer will be any different? >> you know, he could be, chuck schumer does have a little bit of a pragmatic reputation. he's definitely a liberal from a liberal state. he has worked with republicans on issues like immigration. one thing that the warren wing of the party is not necessarily

enamored of is his ties to wall street being a new york senator. i think, though, the big difference between him and harry reid, while reid is a very soft-spoken guy it's kind of tough to get a full sentence out of him chuck schumer is to put it lightly, quite eloquent, they say the most dangerous place in washington is between chuck schumer and a camera. people are going to see schumer on their tv messaging for the democrats. he's going to make their case and so that's the big difference i think you're going to see between the senate under harry reid and the senate under chuck schumer. >> and then what do you think, finally, as we wrap up harry reid's legacy will be? >> yeah. harry reid was obviously one of the longest-serving democratic majority leaders in history. he actually came into the job with somewhat of a centrist past. he was a senator from a swing state. he was pro-life for a while. he kind of changed that later on. later on he became very much kind of a partisan brawler.

he fought with mitch mcconnell and not a whole lot happened over the last few years. harry reid was the leader when obamacare got done and the early things in the obama administration were done. i think when you look back, that will be what his legacy will be. >> thank you very much, aaron we appreciate your insight. >> thank you. well tomorrow is palm sunday. christians all over the world will celebrate the day which marks the triumphant entry jesus christ made into jerusalem and crucified on friday and according to the bible resurrected on the third day, sunday. today we focus on third day. through music the group offers a universal message that is keep the faith live your life, beyond the dream. ♪ third day is celebrating 22 years of making music together.

it all started when they were just teens playing in their garage band outside atlanta, georgia. through it all, they were just hoping to rock the world with their powerful expression of faith. >> we weren't aware at that point in time that there was this whole thing called christian music that they had christian record companies and radio stations and things like that. we thought we were some kind of pioneers. >> they love the songs they sing, the people they meet the friendship they share and the joy they deliver to fans around the world. >> we get to do this for a living. that's such a dream come true. but also as mark was talking about sharing our faith is a big thing for us. i mean that's a -- it's such a huge thing for third day to share our faith and to encourage people. >> in a world that's become increasingly more jaded and sinny cal third day makes no apologies for going against the grain to counter the culture of doubt with an uplifting message of hope. >> the music is powerful because we believe in what we're saying. we believe that what we're saying is a powerful message.

that there's a god who loves you no matter who you are, no matter where you are no matter what you've done that's a god that's for you and not against you. the god is jesus christ. we say that unabashedly. >> as men of faith they are concerned about the atrocities that have been committed against people in the name of religion. they boldly proclaim that such groups like isis can never extinguish the spirit of hope. >> i think whether you're a person of faith, whether you're a christian or whatever your religion is i think that most people would agree in the world that -- that love wins. we want to bring hope and faith and love to people. >> they have sold millions of records earning major awards including numerous grammys and touring all over the world. beyond the music having achieved their dreams third day uses its platform to help children in dire need through organizations like world vision and food for the hungry. their efforts have enabled them to help more than 30,000

children. >> our eyes have been opened to the global need and what little sacrifices we as americans can do to not only change people here in america but across the world. >> as you look at things like poverty and hunger around the world, it's so hard to get your mind around the problem. and i think a lot of that is that it's not a mind thing. it's a heart thing. >> as our dreams have come true we've been able to just watch the influence of, again, it's not of third day but of the message of the gospel, the influence that it's had on our fans and then that it's had around the world in the lives of 30,000 kids. i mean, it's incredible. >> the journey for third day has been good, but having success does not meanwhile they have not undergone hard times. >> life is a struggle. it is. we know what it's like to fight and to have doubts and questions and yet through all that we have each other and we have god. ♪ >> third day. helping others live their lives beyond the dream.

♪ >> what strikes me about their music is their dedication to it 22 years they're still going strong and still united as friends and family and as mac said love wins and love is stronger. >> it's not a mind thing it's a heart thing. it's a great quote. and what a difference christian music has made and the way it has changed over the years. remember the bill gaither trio remember way back in the day? >> way back. very much older than us. >> right. exactly. but i love this. i love how it's grown. >> thanks. >> yes. coming up growing fallout today from the germanwings tragedy amid reports of the copilot repeatedly withheld information about his physical and psychological state from his employers. so, the question is how could this happen? what can the u.s. airline industry learn from this? >> exactly. plus the impact of this disaster on millions of travelers and how it's likely adding to a lot of people's fear of flying.

and welcome back. fox news alert on a train accident in los angeles. we are told that it involved at least one civilian vehicle and the train. two cars derailing and at least 21 people injured. firefighters reportedly checking the condition of what they're referring to as the so-called walking wounded who had been on the train. and we will bring you more information as soon as it becomes available. fallout today over the germanwings copilot accused of deliberately crashing his plane into a french mountainside killing 149 people on board. according to investigators, andreas lubitz apparently hid his mental and physical illness from his employers including a recent doctor's visit for vision

problems that may have jeopardized his ability to work as a pilot. the lead french prosecutor said lubitz locked the captain out of the flight deck then programmed a 320 jetliner's descent slamming it into an alpine ridge at 400 miles an hour. captain chuck nash is a retired navy captain and a fox news military analyst. he joins us now. captain, good of you to join us to share some perspective on this tragic story. memorial service being held today so many people are mourning. but, look the main question right now that looms and lingers in everybody's mind is why? why did a copilot throw away his note that he was not fit for working? why did he deliberately conceal his medical condition and crash his plane carrying 150 people on board? will we ever know? >> that's a good question kelly, and i think that's one that is stumping everybody. because in everything like this as in a crime, it's means, motive, and opportunity. he had the means. the motive is question.

and the opportunity was when the captain excused himself from the cockpit and went to the restroom. and when that happened and the door closed behind him that was his opportunity. and for whatever reason that we may never know he decided that there he was over the alps, in an area where as a child he learned how to fly gliders in that very area. as you say he had just come from a doctor where he was being treated for a medical condition in his eyes. evidently. that could have precluded him from reaching his dream of flying the large long-haul international flights. so he was suffering from depression already. plus his girlfriend said depression and a mental disease. so you add all of that stuff up together, and maybe he saw himself failing, was depressed, and there he was reminiscing of

his dream of flying starting right under where he was then, and that opportunity presented itself and there it was. >> you know you alluded to what his girlfriend was saying. i want to pick that up and explore it a little bit more. a german tabloid reported today that a female flight agent who claims to have dated lubitz says she recalls how he often had nightmares about crashing and that he admitted to her he had psychological problems and vision problems and even had plans to do something spectacular that would, quote, change the system and then everyone will know my name and remember it. well captain, she didn't realize then but she realized it at the moment of the crash what he was saying. do you think she could have taken some action if she'd been thoughtful enough or perhaps cognizant enough of the possibility, taken this information to his superiors at lufthansa instead of saying nothing until now? >> she probably, as she says, didn't understand what he was actually meaning. maybe he was saying that i'm

going to do something awesome that everybody's going to remember, something really good. it was only after the fact that she put it all together and saw what he was talking about. had she gone to somebody in lufthansa, maybe it would have played out where they pulled him aside and said, hey, what's going on with you? but he'd already taken some time off and was being treated for medical conditions. i think they knew that he had depression. but as with many diseases, there are pilots who have depression just like the general population. and they get treated for it, and they deal with it and they go back to work. so, if she had sid something like that, he probably would have been talked to counseled but then he could have just said well, my girlfriend and i are having a disagreement and maybe she's just trying to hurt my career. so who knows? >> my point is not to indict her. but my point is, you know, in this country we talk about terrorism, if you see something, say something. >> sure. >> the same thing applies to if you see something, say something if a pilot is acting erratically

or if someone else is acting erratically. the driver of a bus, for example. so, from here what more can be done to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening in the future on these flights? >> well the woulda coulda shouldas i think we've all had those in our lives and we're bound to have more because we're just human. we don't get it right away. what could be done? i think what's going to have to happen is with the way medical treatments are done for people in certain critical industries and critical positions, and that is that we're going to electronic medical records and reporting. it's going to have to be where people in a fail-safe position are going to have to sign away the ability to have their medical records reported to in this case the faa in the united states, or whatever the civil aeronautic agency is in other countries.

but we're going to have to start to see what are these people in these critical positions, what are they being treated for. and if there is a mental condition, that's the problem doctors have now, which is the whole hipaa thing, the privacy issue, hey what i'm getting treated for i don't want that to jeopardize my -- my career, so i'm not going to tell anybody about it. or, worse, i'm not going to go get treatment for it because that could do it. so, this whole thing's going to have to be a big discussion. the airline industry is very heavily unionized, so the unions are going to have to play in this. the companies are going to have to play in this. and the governments are going to have to play in this. but we've got to do something to get this past merely self-reporting. >> captain chuck nash, thank you for joining us today and sharing your perspectives on this. and certainly today is a very sad day as people memorialize the 149 victims of that flight. thank you, sir. >> you bet kelly. meanwhile the germanwings tragedy likely taking a new toll on those who already suffer from

a fear of flying. with some travelers saying that they are more concerned than ever about their safety on board an aircraft. brian yenis is leave in our new york city newsroom with that part of the story. also apparently a possible treatment to overcome those fears, is that right? >> that's right, heather. you know, 20 million americans suffer from the fear of flying. for some it's life altering, forcing people to change careers or hobbies. for others it's just manageable, that is, until a plane crashes. about a third of people say the recent crash makes them less likely to fly. psychologists we spoke to say their phones ring off the hook following a plane crash or accident. the news is enough to turn anxiety into downright misery. >> if i would get sick before i would go on the airplane, i would get sick on the airplane. i would have to drug myself. i would buzz the stewardess. i would ask to see the pilot.

i couldn't breathe. it was horrible. >> horrible until alice started virtual reality treatment in 2009. patients put on 3-d glasses, their heart rate, breathing is monitored as they experience a virtual plane ride from takeoff to landing with real jet noise shaking light turbulence, even thunderstorms. >> anxiety inoculation treatment, just like a flu shot. you get a flu shot it's an inoculation. they give you a small dose of the disease. your body fights it off. so, later on when you get exposed to it, you've had prior experience in dealing with it. >> patients learn to control their bodies. deeply relax. it's called biofeedback like lowering your heart rate during bad turbulence. dr. reiner says the treatment has a 92% success rate. alice says it's life changing. >> six hours is nothing for me. i flew to paris and london and back. and i'm totally fine. >> patients usually need 12 to

16 hours of this therapy. it's not cheap, though. a one-hour session costs $200 to $600 but obviously well worth it for alice. heather? >> thank you, brian. >> no problem. there is a growing trend among thieves now. trying to steal your personal information to get medical care. a staggering number of victims already. so what can be done to stop this? plus, this -- >> fears in yemen of an all-out civil war amid reports that the u.s. is wading into the fight. we will talk with a former state department official all about it. that is up next.

..

before i had the shooting, burning, pins-and-needles of diabetic nerve pain, these feet grew up in a family of boys... married my high school sweetheart... and pursued a degree in education. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and she prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain.

lyrica is fda-approved to treat this pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new, or worsening depression or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. and i love helping first graders put their best foot forward. ask your doctor about lyrica. a little bit more now on that breaking news that we brought you earlier in this newscast. some more information on the train derailment in los angeles. these are the first pictures

available from the scene. take a look at this video. we told you earlier that it did involve two vehicles and the train. two cars derailing. and at least 21 people injured, including one of them critically. you did see one of the vehicles involved there. apparently emergency crews working to do what they're describing as deal with the walking wounded. one person had to be cut out of one of the vehicles. we believe that that may have been the vehicle that you saw there earlier. we will continue to bring you more information as soon as it becomes available. so, keep it right here. there's that vehicle that was involved that we believe someone had to be cut out of that one, but once again, additional information developing and coming in so stay with us. well as we mentioned earlier the crisis in yemen taking a dramatic new turn. saudi arabia stepping up air strikes against iran-backed shiite rebels this as we get reports the u.s. is likely to send even more aid for the saudis despite negotiating with

iran for a nuclear deal. in the meantime, egypt's president is calling for a regional arab military force in that already volatile region. christian whiten is a former state department senior advisers and joins us with more details on this and shedding some light possibly on what the united states can do besides helping military. we're taking a look at all the countries right now that comprise the coalition that saudi arabia has created. let's bring them up on the screen and we'll show them the map of the area. united arab emirates and kuwait and qatar and egypt and seeing the egypt states come together to fight against the houthis in yemen, what message do you think their actions send to the houthi rebels and iran which backs them? >> well, i think it shows that they are going to resist iran. they're not willing to tolerate another iranian proxy in the region. iran has had a very good couple of years. it now has strong presence in

parts of iraq and lebanon and involved in the syrian civil war and the idea that they'd have another satellite state to the south of saudi arabia and on that crucial waterway that forms the mouth of the red sea leading to the suez canal it's not something they are not willing to tolerate. and it shows the arab states our allies, are just upset in general about iran. they see a nuclear deal coming together that's likely frankly to lead to an iranian nuclear capability and they're doing what they can to resist that government in tehran. >> yeah. we're going to get back to that. the saudis have asked the united states military to help to have air tankers refueling planes and taking part in bombing houthi forces. a senior united states defense official confirming the pentagon will likely approve support for the saudi-led coalition in yemen. but what will it do to the negotiations with iran over a potential nuclear deal which now has a deadline of march 31st and the fact that iran is backing

the houthis? >> it's very odd. it shows that we don't really have a clear strategy in the middle east, because as you point out, at the one -- on the one hand we are preparing to fight a proxy of the iranians with our sunni arab allies and at the other time -- at the same time we are talking to iran and about to give them the deal of the century. you know i was at the state department when i saw this happen with north korea, a highly favorable deal where frankly the opposition gets a nuclear capability at the end of the day. i think those talks will go on because iran just realizes how good it gets -- what it's getting, what a deal it's getting. and the obama administration is desperate for an agreement that they think will be something to build their legacy. and they need that now for one big reason -- for several, but the way of warp that has been pursued by obama clearly has failed and yemen is the perfect example, that you could focus on core al qaeda while a couple of drone strikes. while we were doing it in yemen

a massive army in iranian proxy came over the transom and we got thrown out of aiden the capital ourselves. i think you have with iran and obama a great desire for an agreement. >> i got to ask you real quickly, based on that, what's at stake, should the houthis take complete control ov yemen, what does it mean for the arab world as well as western countries including the u.s.? >> you know it really starts to look like a complicated set of states and proto-states and quasi--states at war that looks a little bit like world war i in europe and now we're doing it in the broader middle east. you have sunni insurgents, terrorists muslims, isis and then you have an iranian empire, a shiite empire that is islamist pro-sharia that is getting more and more ground and political influence and it doesn't look good. >> thank you for that assessment. >> thank you, kelly. >> all right. we'll have more of the yemen crisis and the chaotic situation

welcome back. you have likely heard of identity theft but what about medical identity theft? it is when thieves use your name or your health insurance numbers to go see a doctor, get a prescription, prescription drugs file claims with your insurance provider or get other care. it is actually a growing trend. medical identity fraud alliance estimates 2.3 million americans were victimized by it in 2014. can someone be charged for this? david schwartz is a defense attorney and former prosecutor. richard st. paul is an attorney and they join us for this. how remarkable it is to me that someone can actually get away with this type of identity theft, but people are doing it and doing it more and more frequently. richard, let's start with you. >> look, what we have here is people who are able to obtain

your medical identification number. remember, your medical identification number doesn't have an i.d. attached to it, it is just a number that can be printed on plastic and given to a hospital. in the case of medicaid and medicare, your social security number, date of birth can be given to a hospital and that's all you need. that's what medicaid uses to track. that's how people are able to do it by stealing this type of information. now there are laws in place like the identity theft deterrent and assumption act that's a federal law and there are state laws in place but really, the issue is the resources that are used to combat identity theft. what i mean by that is you know if your identity is stolen in new york but used in california, you got jurisdiction issues. we won't send the cops in new york to go get you in california. >> there is also the question who is held liable the person that actually did the stealing of the identity? what about the place where it was used? say the hospital or the pharmacy or -- >> yeah. on the civil side, there's a

whole chain of liability. of course, the person that stole the material they are committing a crime. there's no question about that liability. but it's the chain. it's the credit reporting bureaus, it's the victims where their credit goes down because of this identity theft. it becomes a nightmare for them. obviously, the insurance companies, the credit reporting bureaus they are all liable and the only way to solve this issue is not by going to them, because you get nowhere the only way to solve it is by suing them. >> i'm not really following, though, how they would be held liable in a situation like this because they don't let you know that your credit has been affected? >> well -- go ahead. >> dave is actually right. here's what happens. 80 million clients, their information has been breached. why are hackers going after the medical companies? because their information -- certainly there is negligence there. they know this is happening, yet are not doing anything to beef up their cybersystem.

>> now you have the victims they are being charged with all these medical expenses, they are not paying it because they don't even know about it, so now their credit is going down and they are trying to undo this horrible situation. it's a nightmare for victims and they can't get anywhere. in my practice, the only way i have seen us get anywhere is by suing suing in federal court, because then you get the lawyers involved and you solve the situation. >> that costs money as well. we are already talking about at least one study done said that about 65% of people affected by this are paying over what $1300 out of their pocket to get their credit fixed and then they are losing over 200 hours of work time as well. >> even more than that, that's just medical identity theft. it goes up to $13,000 because health care is very expensive. by the time you find out, you know how people find out hey, you owe us money, i didn't have any surgery what do you mean i owe you money? you owe us money and you have to pay it. to david's point, dealing with the hospitals it says no you were here on this day you owe

us money. the only way to deal with it is to sue. >> only way to deal with it is to sue and you spend a lot less time and money by just doing away with all the nonsense, going right to court and early on you will settle the case. you will get it all straightened out. >> if you are a victim you need to contact the police, say listen my identity was stolen and you need -- >> stay on top of it. >> check your medical records so yes just like a credit report, you are entitled to check. >> thank you both. we appreciate it. taking action to declare war on phony veterans. >> a new push to crack down on those who fake serving our country. education for anyone anywhere. if you look at a khan academy video, they can cover everything from basic arithmetic to calculus, trigonometry, finance. you can really just get what you need at your own pace. and so, bank of america came and reached out to us and said 'we are really interested in making sure that everyone really understands personal finance.'

and we're like 'well, we're already doing that.' and so it was kind of a perfect match.
