9:00 am
missed the show show, you can down load our pod cast. we're back here next sunday morning 11:00 and 5:00 eastern with the latest buzz. >> today members of the arab league announced a new joint military force. this coming as a saudi arabia-led coalition vows to continue air strikes on yemen until iran rebels therewith draw. >> hello everyone. it could take months for the new arab military force to form. each of the 22 members of the arab league will have to determine if they are l participant it in it and the outline is still being worked out. it may not come together in time to help yemen.
9:01 am
saudi arabia launching air strikes with egypt's mel tear joining in. the president has fled the country as they push back against the growing influence of iran. >> meanwhile the nuclear talks with iran entering a critical junker the as they announce compromises. john kerri along with other dip mats are trying to hammer out a preliminary framework deal before a tuesday deadline. doug mcelway is live in washington with details. >> reporter: within hours ticking of the deadline, until the deadline for framework to an iranian nuclear deal. tremendous pressure is building to rethink its strategy. the pressure is coming from abroad. among our five plus one negotiating partners and from israel from the prime minister said the deal appears to
9:02 am
corroborate all our concerns and then some. it's also coming from domestic critics. many of whom say iran's involvement in many present middle east conflicts is a huge red flag in the nuke talks. >> i would say stop all engines. take a step back. really take a deep dive look at everything going on in the middle east and it's not just the middle east. it's all of north africa. it's parts of the south africa. this is a growing threat. >> >> nous the time to push back from the trouble and ask ourselves is it time to trust the iranians that we're negotiating with. i would encourage the administration to take more time and not hasten to a deal. >> appearing on abc this week, josh earnest indicated the white house is aware of all the risks and continues to drive a very hard bargain. >> no deal is done right now. once a deal is reached if one is
9:03 am
reached we'll present it for the world to see, and take a close look at whether or not we've been able to reach an agreement that does succeed in defending against iran obtaining a nuclear weapon. >> the talks are entering the most difficult stage. every step requires tremendous exertion at this time and it's a very tough climb. >> thank you. >> arthel now for more on facing the threat of iran amid the nuclear negotiations. the arab steps stepping up with a proposed arab army to counter iran's spreading influence. former u.s. ambassador to the united nations and fox news contributor joins us now as well. ambassador, basically what took so long? >> i think this is something that the arab league has talked about for a long time. i think what has prepip stated it is the chaos and yemen and
9:04 am
not just the interest in the collapse of the government but the fact that the houthi are surrogates for iran which they already face across the persian or arab yan gulf depending on what you want to call it and the nuclear weapons program. i think the immediate circumstances have helped impel this progress. whether it turns into anything concrete and how soon as you said earlier i think a lot remains to be seen. there's a sense of urgency now because of yemen because of the iran nuclear talks that i think can propel this along. >> could this blunt iran's influence and more troublesome could it potentially spark a shiite sunni war? >> i don't think it would spark the war. i think the iranians are already well along to trying to create it. but what has happened in the arab world generally is the feeling that the negotiations that we just reported on show that the united states is simply not serious about stopping
9:05 am
iran's nuclear weapons program and therefore if anybody is going to look out for the arab states, it's going to have to be the arabs themselves, and i know many people would say it's about time they got together but let's be clear here. an independent force such as they're talking act, i think would be primarily independent of the united states and the rick of conflict that we may not exactly want to see develop perhaps directly between the sunni arabs and the iranians is entirely possible as a consequence of a capability built up outside of u.s. control and command. >> what would that mean? let's take a look at a numbers. you're talking about nearly 2 million a force of 2 million ground troops with some of the nations in the arab leagues so far. pakistan, 617,000. egypt nearly 500,000. saudi arabia nearly 200,000. if you can have a force that is independent of the u.s. what would that mean if they would
9:06 am
operate on their own? >> of course initially they're talking about a very, very small force, maybe 40,000 and it remains to be seen if they can even get to that. but the risk here is that as u.s. influence in the region has declined as your unwillingness to deal seriously with the iranian nuclear threat and the continued support for terrorism in syria and lebanon and the gaza strip, the arabs are moving on their own. they're not going to rely on the united states despite all our prior weapons sales and training and close relationships we've built up. i think that in these tense and growing tense circumstances the risk of miscalculation with the u.s. absent is significantly higher. i think this is a step closer to that sunni shia confrontation that people have worried about. >> ambassador john as the nuclear talks are unfolding with the deadline on tuesday. still no deal. we'll have to see how that plays
9:07 am
out. good to see you. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> with all of this going on we're going to have more on the iran nuclear talks coming up in a few minutes when i sit down with a congressman. meanwhile chilling details about the final moments of a jet liner. transcripts from the black box show ou the co-pilot badgered the captain into leaving the cockpit and show the captain's desperate pleas to get back into the cockpit when he realized he was locked out. we are reporting outside outside of the apartment of the co-pilot outside of dusseldorf jeremy. >> reporter: just behind us is where lubitz lived. it's a pleasant but wet suburb of dusseldorf. no sign of the horrors that he's said to have inflicted and the big news of today is an alleged
9:08 am
transcript of the final minutes of that flight before the crash came out in a german newspaper which has been pretty reliable. fox news cannot confirm with french authorities it is the real thing but it purports toshow lubitz almost encouraging the pilot to take a bathroom break and once the captain is out of the cockpit, he locks the door and we can hear the kamten screaming to him, for god's sake open the door and worse while he's pounding. a few minutes later we believe it was an ax is heard. the worse part for me is there are voices and screams of passengers. apparently they knew from the very beginning this could be a fatal descent. there's more reports today about his vision problem. it's said to be a torn retina. that could mean he'd lose his job along with all the evidence of a bad depression situation.
9:09 am
clearly he was worried about his position there. also new details from the crash site over in france. a french official saying that they have identified body parts of 78 passengers and they will have identified he thinks body parts of all 150 passengers by the end of the week. considering the condition of the victims, that is really remarkable, arthel. finally, two more notes from here in the neighborhood. we spoke to one neighbor of lubitz, and he said that he seemed to be pretty normal. we've heard that before. but he was very quiet. they never exchanged any words, and finally the name of the street that we are standing on right now, the lubitz house is situated on the name of the street in german is sumhexingotten. that translates into to the witch's houses. horror indeed coming from this street. >> that's no doubt.
9:10 am
>> there's been a major development about the attack in the museum in tunisia. a leading suspect in the attack has been killed overnight. it's an operation that occurred near the border. two gunmen were killed in the march 18th attack on the national museum. tens of thousands of people and several world leaders including the french president are gathering in tunisia's capital to denounce violence. >> heavy gunfire tries to terrify voters in nigeria. people attempting to escape one northern city say soldiers were waging intense gun battles with the extremists as they tried to move in. boko haram has killed many people during voting. the voting was extended an extra day as tens of millions of people turned out to vote in the
9:11 am
presidential race. >> and more than two dozen air canada passengers have been injured after terrifying moments. coming up we'll tell you what happened here. what authorities are trying to do about it. >> the backlash reaching critical mass over new state law on religious freedom but the governor refusing to step down. >> twooer not changing the law. it has been tested in court for more than two decades. you get sick you can't breathe through your nose... suddenly... you're a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than cold medicines alone so you can breathe and sleep shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right.

>> tens of thousands of the faithful joining the pope to celebrate palm sunday at the vatican. the pontiff and the cardinals wearing bright yesterday for the occasion. which kicks off the beginning of holy week before easter. another spirited celebration
9:15 am
taking place in juice lem. hundreds retracing jesus' steps into the holy city. >> this has to be part of the cal kuls of every strategic decision and right now, i don't my sense at where the policy is at is sort of and i hate to sea it but it's almost a policy of willful ignorance and so me we have some major problems that we are dealing where wrsh and here we are talking to iran about a nuclear deal with this almost complete break down of order in the middle east. >> that was retired lieutenant echoing widespread criticism that the chaos in the middle east and yemen in particular is casting a long shadow over the nuclear talks with iran. meanwhile with just three days to go secretary of state john kerry and others are hunkering down trying to hammer out a framework of a deal.
9:16 am
officials say iran has tentatively agreed to several compromises but a number of hurdles still remain in place. here's what the white house press secretary says about the talks. >> no deal is one. once one is done if it is we'll present it to the world for the world to see. >> joining me now, texas congressman. good to have you here on the set. >> great to be with you. >> i want to start here. considering the complexities and the extent of the chaos in the middle east in parts of africa and yemen, should these talks be put on hold? should they extend this tuesday deadline? >> i'm sure iraq will want to drag it out farther that. that's what they've been doing the whole time. this administration has shown a propensity for giving them what they want in hopes that that will make iraq be more cooperative, but if this
9:17 am
administration would consult with like some others have. i was there in december, they would find out this iraqi military has the most information about iraqis nuclear capabilities and they're not giving them information. no deal can be faced. >> let me -- the iraqi military has the most information about iran's nuclear deal. >> i'm sorry. yeah. thank you. iran's military has the most information about iran's nuclear capability and if you talk to the ae ae they will tell you you need a facility about 30 meters by 75 meters, 3,000 centrifuges which this administration is willing to let them have. >> right right now i believe the compromise is 6,000 that's the compromise. >> they will tell you now only
9:18 am
need 30 3,000. we will already allowing them with what we concon seeded to go to full blown. ? are you for a deal and if so, what are the components? >> i think it's going to yield this administration the same kind of deal that the clinton administration did in korea. if you remember wendy sherman was coordinator for north korea. she's involved in the negotiations with iran, but now north korea has nukes and everything they promised turned out to be a lie. we haven't gotten information from them since 2007. >> i understand your point but i want to focus on iron and i asked you specifically are you for a deal with iran? >> not without full information. we should never have pulled the
9:19 am
sanctions. they were coming forward with more information, but until they gave us complete access to all their facilities we should never have pulled the sanctions. >> there are some sanctions still in place but you feel like they're not effective? >> no. >> the leaders of iran are saying look, wee are willing to put a deal with you but here's the deal. you have to lift the sanctions immediately. we don't want some sort of tenure deal. we're go for a seven year deal if you get rid of the sanctions immediately. >> originally we were going to require complete dismantling of the nuclear capabilities of this nation. they are a terrorist nation, a sponsor of terrorism, worst in the world. they should not have centrifuges spinning, and we're letting them continue to spin as we talk. >> how do you prevent that? >> you step up the sanctions for blown, and i think maybe it's time to look at a plan to go in
9:20 am
and bomb them. because as someone else once said until iran believes that the u.s. is a credible threat to bomb them they're not stopping. >> if the u.s. bombs iran's nuclear facilities do you think russia is going to stand by and let that happen? >> i don't think russia is in a position to do anything. they're bogged down too many places. >> you think that first of all -- that's a volatile option there, to go in and bomb the nuclear facilities, and you really believe that russia will stop and say okay, fine. go for it. >> bottom line, russia's concerned about radical islamist terrorism much more so than this administration is. they don't want a radical islamist nation with nukes. they're not crazy over there in russia. >> so we haven't discussed an actual plan because i'm sure it's quite complex so we don't
9:21 am
have one on the table from you this morning either. >> well, yeah. i think that once iran realizes we're serious about taking it out, they come to the table. >> gonkman we leave it there. thank you very much and we're back after this break.

9:25 am
short time after and yesterday he said he supports introduction of legislation to clarify it does not discriminate against gays and lesbians. and today he doubled down. >> this law and it's the law by either statute or court decisions in some 30 other states is to empower individuals when they believe that actions of government impinge on their constitutional first amendment freedom of religion. >> the governor was on national news today. thousands protests in indianapolis yesterday in the passionate debate comes after some christians have either been sued or fined after refusing service to gay couples getting married. >> yes or no. if a florist in indiana refuses to serve a gay couple at their wedding, is that legal now in
9:26 am
indiana? >> george this is where this debate has gone with misinformation and -- >> it was just a question, sir, yes or no. >> there's been shameless rhetoric about my state and the law and it intention all over the internet. people are trying to make it about one particular issue and now you're doing that as well. >> while this continues toss owners in indiana have had concerns about the impact this could have on their bottom line. >> thanks so much. >> more than 20 people hurt after a plane makes an abrupt landing in halifax. it's surrounded by emergency vehicles on the tarmac and you can see some of the damage sustained to the front of the plane. the aircraft touched down hard in stormy weather and skidded off the runway. 32 passengers and 5 crew members were on board.
