nat least it was clean and no pit marks. >> tweet us all of the web comments. and i will take them now. we'll be back here on tv. "happening now" starts right now. >> and we begin with a fox news alert. president obama on the road in jamaica, taking an question from an american reporter on cuba. >> the president will not commit to taking cuba off the list of countries that sponsor terror. we'll have the news now. is russia raising the stakes? >> what message is vladimar putin sending with military flights getting too close to the united states for comfort? plus baseball size hail and damaging wind and damaging tornados and most of the country bracing for severe weather. we'll tell you who is in the crosshairs. and our guys try to do the best

they could. >> a brutal attack inside of prison walls. what sparked the brawl and who was behind it. it is all part of "happening now". >> we begin with a 2016 presidential race and new questions about the potential democratic candidate hillary clinton. >> i am jenna lee. >> and i am jon scott. mrs. clinton expected to announce the run in a few weeks. she is beefing up her campaign staff. most democrats are united in the belief that she is the best candidate but the jury is out if she is good. how much does it matter anyway. >> we'll talk about chris wallace. it is an interesting read in new york magazine and emphasizes the

democrats especially after the e-mail scandal, democrats are expressing reservations that she is rusty or not a talented campaigner. >> exactly and the new's conference in the u.n. when you had the horrible painting of war and destruction behind her in the u.n., picasso painting, jon, it was a symbol of how that went off the tracks. she didn't do terribly but she seemed unhappy to be there and didn't make much eye contact with the reporters talking to her and generally handled it as if it was an uncomfortable situation it was instead of rising above it. you know it does raise questions. we saw it with a book roll out last year when she was asked by diane sawier about all of the

money she and the president make. and she talked about leaving the white house dead broke. ten minutes until she got a multimillion book advance for your book. and if she does run largely unopposed in the democratic primary, she will not go through the toughening process when you face the reporters and people in debates and cut and thrust, even if you are not on the same stage and they are taking shots at you. >> here is part of what the new york magazine piece describing that moment you talked about. the glee and regret with the republicans and democrats are over the disastrous press conference that hillary clinton made to put the e-mails to rest.

it serves to remind many had forgoodnight what an a-bombinable candidate she can be. she has more give and take with ordinary americans and a stadium centric campaign; is that going to work or help in >> well, i am reminded of what happened back in 2000 when they decided al gore, the democratic consultants and they are dumb decisions made by both problems that al gore's problem was too stiff and they got a consultant who had him in earth tones wearing browns and greens and open neck shirts. karl rove had an interesting column in the wall street. when he said the big problem is not her manner, does she have a rationale or purpose to run for president other than the fact that it is her turn and she

is entitled to it. and how will she communicate that. i am not sure other than that she is the favorite for it and lost to bill clinton last time. and maybe the woman thing. but in terms of what she will do for us the american people. why is she running and what is the cause that is driving her. it is hard pressed to say what it is. >> senator cha ffe is looking for making a run for the democratic nomination, is that a signal perhaps that some democrats think she can be beaten and vulnerable. >> with all respect with lincoln cha ffe. i am not sure he will do it or martin o'malley or the others. they seem to be long shots if they run against her. you take more serious vice-president biden or elizabeth warren. but at this moment, it doesn't

appear that either will run. she may have token opposition but no one to make her struggle and reach and grow as a candidate in order to beat them. >> speaking of opposition one of your sunday morning competitor is throwing in the towel. big announcement from long time cbs, face the nation bob scheiffer he will retire@age of 78. what do you say, chris? >> throwing in the towel? it is better than that. my father would say he is a whippersnapper. my father was still working at 88. and bob is a awfully nice man and a solid reporter and a real gentleman. he has had a distinguished career at cbs and earned his retirement. i figured out when i saw his announcement, that will make me the dean of the sunday morning

talk show host. my 11 years will be hosting one of the sunday talk shoes longer than any other of the guys and who ever replaces bob on face the nation. i will wear my dean of sunday talk show proudly. we'll discuss a new secret hand shake. >>s that sounds great. you are the one they all aspire to be. chris wallace from fox news sunday. >> well, thank you for that jon. >> don't miss chris on fox news sunday this weekend. he will talk with the massachusetts governor, mitt romney. and you don't want to miss that. and the latest on how the 2016 race for the white house is shaping up. you can watch that here on fox channel two and check your local listings for when it airs on the big fox network. >> before we get to sunday, fox news weather alert.

another round of storms taking aim at the middle part of the country. there are tornados and flooding concerns. you can see it there. hail big enough to crack your windshield. that is what it looked like in kansas. our chief meteorologist is joining us live from the fox news weather center. >> tiz the season. we haven't had a active weather season. and april is when it ramps up and anyone in the weather prone areas needs to be ready for it. and back here you can see the cold and we ve snow in parts of the nebraska today. and that will head up in parts of wisconsin by tonight. we have had heavy rain move through the chicago area. and look at the temperature picture what is going on this is a cold front and coming in behind. and the warm front right here. that is where we will see a bigger chance of larger tornados later on this afternoon. if we so the larger tornados it

will be right here from chicago and east to rockford and in the mississippi river valley and east of the dallas area and where you see the orange shaded area. we have a risk for tornados and certainly large hail and winds and we'll so that throughout the day today. tomorrow it moves east and midatlantic and washington d.c. under a risk and stretching back through houston and corpus christi. we'll certainly see strong winds as the storms move on through. by tonight, big storms moving in the chicago area. and snow through wisconsin and by tomorrow afternoon, we'll see thunderstorms in the new york city area. and precipitation has been heavy here in the ohio river valley in the last few weeks and we'll get a few more inches of rain and that means the flood threat will continue unfortunately for the people that are water logged recently. >> i would like to send that to

california express actually. >> have we called safe flight on behalf of the camera crew that lost their wind shield in the storm? >> that would be a good test and commercial for them. >> get on the phone. and a man in court accused of trying to join us with isis. he was arrested getting off of a flight from turkey at chicago o'hare airport. he travelled to is stan bull last august and according to a criminal complaint, he talked to people about his plan. he later posted on facebook that he was unable to cross over to syria and complained that the people who were supposed to help him wanted his money and left him on the side of the road. >> hackers who are aligned with isis blocked out 11 channels for three hours and hit a network and social media pages. we are following this from

london, aim? >> the soiber terror attack put itself as a warning for france's involvement in the fight against isis and the target, the tv st. mongue is a truly global symbol of french culture and films and largely entertainment and about french lifestyles and everything that isis really hates. it is broadcast in 200 different countries in middle east and africa and usa. there was a warning to the french president hollande about fighting isis and saying charlie heb do and kosher supermarket were reprisals for that. i am isis with a graphic play on the i's and s's in french and a caliphate logo was put on the

page. it was a sophisticated and coordinated attack on the social media website and tv signals. this attack was a long- time in the planning. the director said there had been plenty of attempts to hack it in the past. they noticed that and it is not unusual in today's world. france to an extent it reeling from the attacks on the newspaper charlie hebdo back in january and followed by the attack on the kosher supermarket and attacks on two police officers in paris. the prime minister called it unacceptable insult on freedom of speech and freedom of information. finally tonight we can say tv five world stations are all back on line as of 6 o'clock this evening and the social media is active as well and under their control. they are checking to see how deeply into the internet site this hacking attack was

boroughed. >> thank you very much. >> and the debate flaring up on body cameras after the deadly shooting in south carolina was captured on a witness' cell phone camera. a police officer sounds off on the idea. shocking surveillance footage showing an inmate launching a broughtal attack against correction's officers and we want to hear from you. all indications suggest that hillary clinton will make a white house run. and our live chat is up and running and go to fox news.com/"happening now" to join the conversation.

>> dramatic to theage in a prison showing a inmate brutally attacking an officer. the officer tried to taz him and it did not work.

it was unprovoked. the inmate was found in an area he was not supposed to be. the incident left four officers injured. one with serious head trauma after being knocked out cold. they plan to charge him with aggravated assault. >> we have video of a south wz:aoina police shootingt(/f-:d"÷areigite reigiting the debate ofmfn

announcement said they will add it in the police force. >> people want them and some people don't want them. guidelines have to be established how they are going to wear the body cameras. obviously you cannot have them on in all situations. >> why not? i think of a surveillance tape and that's not exactly what they would be or would they? >> it is not surveillance. it is just recording the actions of a police officer in uniform is going to take. if you have a victim of a sex crime, naturally you don't want that recorded for the victim's safety and witnesses to crimes. on the average cross stop is it a good idea? yes. there is pros and cons. is it coming? most definitely. it is how they approach it and the guidelines.

you see it mimicking the conversation we had about the cameras in the police car? >> they were there for the same reason. a lot of cops were accused of certain activities and we'll say we have nothing to hide and they put a dash cam in them. they are going to record every movement from the car stop and i think that will happen in the future. there is a certain call, and you will have the officer turn it on, and obviously you cannot have it 24 or 8 hours in the police car. he has personal matters and you will not record conversations with his wife and kids. it is going to be geared for whatever the conditions are for the car stop or whatever they are responding to a call. >> let me ask you about the situation in north charleston. the police officer's description

of what happened did not match what was taped by a bystander. and i am curious if there was a camera, in some ways, the whole outrage factor here or part of it would be different. because the department would have known instantly what happened and not relied on one person's eyewitness. you can't trust eyewitness. you have to double and triple source. if in this particular instance would it be helpful. >> it would be helpful. it would be the car stop that initiated this whole thing and that point on. would it have stopped the officer from doing something? probably. he must have reacted in the heat of the moment. i can't explain his actions. >> he will. >> he is going to, yes. >> one of the issues that the mayor talked about is the cost of this and the unions say we

are open to this with the certain perimeters. what about the cost on the department. you can see the stress that they are economically and how feasible it is? >> i think funding is federally funded. it should not impact the police department as far as manpower. and the unions are more concerned with the guidelines that will protect their officers in all instances. and so also it is a double edge over here. everybody is talking about the police actions. what about the perpetrators? if the police are accountable. you take it to court and say this is what is happening. >> will that be admissible? will that be used in the same way as the officers? there is a lot to the debate. thank you so much.

jon? >> russian war ships spotted off the u.s. coast. general jack king weighs in on what vladimar putin is up to here and in europe. and iran settling in on a key water way in the coast of aideen. why it is so important. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before your begin an aspirin regimen. introducing preferred rewards from bank of america the new banking rewards program that rewards our customers, every day. you'll get things like rewards bonuses on credit cards... extra interest on a savings account... preferred pricing on merrill edge online trades and more... across your banking and investing get used to getting more. that's the power of more rewarding connections. that's preferred rewards from bank of america. hey, what's up? i'm ted. rudy and i have a lot of daily rituals.

namaste. stay. taking care of our teeth is one of them. when i brush my teeth, he gets a milk-bone brushing chew. just another way to keep ourselves healthy. i'll go change.

right now renewed sign was russian aggression. two russian war ships have been spotted near u.s. shores and a new offensive in ukraine is called imminent. nato completed the first round of testing for the response force in the chech republic. always great to have you general king. we'll talk about the middle east but we saw the headline

and couldn't let it go. what are the russian ships up to? >> i think it is part of putin's campaign. he is a thug and he is also a fox and he clearly understands that geo political power is not only capability but it is based on political and moral will. and it is intimidation and using air and naval movements around nato countries to remind them of the power of russia and the physical military power of russia and the fact that they can reach out to those countries with that power. it is a back drop to the more serious moves he's making and done in crimea and making in ukraine and he will make also in the baltics. >> you mentioned crimea it is important to remember the ports that are valuable to russia. and that's going to be a theme we'll continue to explore. what do you think is vladimar

putin's next move and what do we do about it? >> he's not finished in ukraine i don't believe and the economic sanctions have had no impact. and the price of oil had a greater impact. the economy is crumbling but there is nationalistic feelings and significant support for him and as a result of that, i think he will move to make that land bridge that we spoke from eastern ukraine down to crimea that gives him access from russia through the port of marapoll and that is likely the next move and what general clark fls talking about when he was providing a speech over in the atlantic council. some people think it is coming soon and others don't know for sure. i have no clue when he will do it but the fact is he will do it. and he will put pressure on nato and the west.

he believes there is an opportunity. european and u.s. leadership is weak in his mind and he will take advantage of that. and i believe we'll see activity in the baltics similar to the eastern ukraine. that is serious. >> status of russia is key to the potential agreement with iran and what happens with the sanctions with the u.n. and i want to mention you spoke of important water ways for russia and there is another water way that is person in the middle east. iran is sending a naval fleet to the gulf of aiden that borders yemen and this is where the saudis are trying to attack iranian backed rebels with air strikes. they don't like the moves there. and what do you make of iran's move in this particular water way. >> it is very serious and

deserving more attention. what they are trying to do, if they can consolidate power and take over yemen entirely that is a victory for iran in the sense that the balance of power shifts to iran in this region. when you look at the gulf of aden where yemen is located. the port of aden is right there in the port of aden. if this is iran's client state, assume that they will drive ships in there at that port, and it will be a naval base. that strip where the land mass comes together. that leads you to the suez canal. they can put in yemen anti- shipping mines and missiles in the event of a political crisis

they would have huge power to leverage and stop the flow of commerce and shipping to the suez canal. this is a huge victory for iran if they control yemen as they are able to do. they are on the way to it. >> and when of this particular water way is under thet we see that in oil prices and that affects our gas prices. there is an immediate affect for that if we are waiting for other things to take place. general king this final question. our navy is the most powerful navy in the world. our presence means something. should we consider a bigger presence? >> two things in reference to our navy and the defense department in general. we cannot continue to do what we are doing. slashing it. it is reckless.

i would assume the navy is doing something to support special operation forces. al-qaeda inside of yemen is a major threat to us and we used to it have a base this and conducting operations against al-qaeda. we had to retreat from that base as uncomfortable as it is for me to admit that. and that is the truth of it. i hope we are doing something from that either from cia base in saudi arabia or offshore conducting operations against al-qaeda. if we don't, that threat will go and their intention is the united states and europe. that is their target area. >> general king, as always thank you so much. >> good talking to you, jenna. >> some of the victims of the fort hood shooting set to be awarded the purple heart. some think it might be a symbolic honor and guilty verdicts handed down in the boston marathon bombings that

left four people dead. will the convicted killer get the death penalty and we are on watch of the trial of aaron hernandez in a case of involving circumstantial evidence.

weapon charges hernandez faces. he is charged with murder of odon lloyd who dated his fiance's sister. and joining us is wendy. wendy, the case is entirely circumstantial and they don't have hard evidence he's done it. how would you assess the prosecution's job in proving the case. >> circumstantial evidence is good as direct. and there is avalanche of circumstantial evidence. they have to prove he is at the scene. they linked up every little piece of evidence in this case. 439 exhibits. and so this jury has the work cut out for it. it is a great circumstantial case. >> they tonight seem to have proved motive.

>> they tonight have to. but the jury will want to know where he committed murder. >> all the defense is have to create reasonable doubt when he murdered the victim. the only issue in this case is joint venture which makes you part of the crime by just being at the scene of the crime in aiding or abetting the murderer. that is the only wild card the prosecution has here. >> wendy, what about the lack of motive. >> we don't have to prove motive or produce the smoking gun. much is made that the actual murder weapon was not recovered. most smart criminals ditch the murder weapon after they kill the victim. did he know what was going on and did he have an active role? and all of the circumstantial

evidence seems to mean he did which could lead to conviction of murder. >> and now the boston jury is deciding whether the boston murderer will spend life in prison or die for his crimes. the sentencing phase of the trial begins next week with the same jurors. richard, you point out that if he is sentenced to death he would be one of the youngest people on federal death row. do you think that is something that will enter into the minds of the jury? >> absolutely. the defense conceded the fact that he was part of the bombing, they gave that away. and what they will do is argue mitigating circumstances his age and mental capacity. and the influence of his brother and no previous criminal record. in the united states only time

you can execute people is after 18 years old. he is only 22 years old. and so certainly i think the defense has to argue his age and that will be a strong part of the mitigating circumstance to get him a life sentence. >> this is a death penalty qualified panel, wendy and everybody on the jury said yes, i could vote for the death penalty if i feel it was warranted. does that mean it is a foregone conclusion he gets death? >> absolutely not. massachusetts is a state without a death penalty. they are not used to deliberating death. it is a balance of grace and justice. guilt phase about what he did. and penalty phase is about who he is. his dreams and life and aspirations and the influence he was under and his age. but there is a lot of people believe be that a sentence of life in prison for this young

man is a slow death sentence of itself. >> especially in the super max prison where he will apparently be held. >> wendy and patrick. thank you. >> and as we await the sentencing phase of the boston marathon murder trial. there is new life saving cell phone technology that was inspired pie that horrific day at the marathon. >> cell phones allow us to stay connected almost anywhere except in major emergencies like boston, two years ago. >> we lost cell phone communication. >> officer scott wilder was on duty in brook line, massachusetts when the bomb went off in downtown boston. it was over two miles away and out of his jurisdiction and he faced a serious problem anyway. >> for everyone in boston

started to use their cell phone at the same time and jammed up communications all over the city. >> that's correct it did. and we were in a dilimba of how to handle all of the information and get our own phone calls and public safety through. >> first responders had a difficult time and many residents who only use their cell phones were completely cut off and unable to reach 911. >> we had people who couldn't xhupt or text. and that's all they know. >> one other reasons stephens institute of technology invented spider radio. a platform that prioritizes cell phone calls in emergencies. >> as soon as it is updated with a big event. it automatically going to gather all of the bands that are available to that device so they can do the rescue and search

operations they can do. >> spider radio, for example instance will give preference to first responders and reroute calls to contrariers and wi- fi signals to patch calls through. >> brook line police department is the test case for the new technology. >> what we have going on here. >> wilder said restored a level of comfort in and around boston. >> knowing that if something happens we'll be able to operate. >> meaning, he said capable of receiving and making phone calls in emergency. that's it for her. back to you. >> that is great. douglas thank you. >> new developments over the vaccinations for school children. one state considering a plan that it has parents outraged.
