of the last 26 years. do we need more of the same? i will vote for the most conservative candidate for president but i hope my choice doesn't come down to a bush or a clinton. we are better than that. that is just my point oh two. >> it's a handshake making headlines all over the world. president obama and cuba's fidel castro castro meeting today for the first time between a u.s. official and cuban official as british cry foul and say all after this is happening too fast too soon. the city where if leaders are meeting for the summit of americas. >> the top gop presidential contenders in nashville.

>> she announces for president. . >> and a beloved symbol at the heart of texas independence now finding itself in the midst of a new battle as efforts are underway to save the alamo from decades of neglect and disrepair. >> and thank you for spending what is a beautiful spring saturday with us here in washington. welcome to america's news headquarters. >> and here is the latest on what's making news right now. >> well it's a busy weekend in the race to the white house with top contenders as thousands are meeting in nashville supporting gun rights with many presidential contenders there to

show support and spotlight their campaign. the war is not about the right to bare arms but it was aimed at the current presidential front runner hillary clinton. >> people like hillary clinton who seem to think that you measure success in government by how many people are dependant on the government. she gave russia a reset button. i wonder what her slogan is going to be. i suspect it won't be four more years but somebody back there got it right. it may be what difference does it make. >> we had good news ready for hillary as their first hire, the head of e-mail security. so it's very, very good.r now has a job. >> hillary clinton will announce her plans to run for the white

house via social media. joining us now in what is the eve of mrs. clinton's announcement and henry in des moines iowa right now. ed? >> reporter: really great to see you. we expect that announcement from hillary clinton officially on sunday so we're just hours away now. interesting because very similar to what she did in 2007 when she ran the first time put out a video on social media re-introduce her to potential voters. the last time it took her about a week because she was still a sitting senator voting on various legislation and did not get out here to iowa to actually compete for votes. this time they hope to get her out here in the next couple of days. you talked about the republican rivals hitting her. she has got democratic rivals hitting her as well. jim webb a former virginia senator, martin o'mally they have been here for days. they are trying to canvas for

folks and throw out the possibility of running themselves. i sat down with each of them yesterday in exclusive interviews and they made it clear this is not going be a coronation for clinton. >> history's full of examples where the inevitable front runners right up until they are no longer inevitable. i have heard that people want new leaders. they want to hear the voices of new leaders. >> people are looking for leadership they can trust. they are looking for leaders who will say what they believe and be consistent about it. and rather than the massaging issues to try to get on one political safety zone or another will really take the risk of leadership and put them out there. we have done that my entire political career. >> has she done it in her career? >> you will have to ask her. >> on the inevidentability question, it was inevitable back

in 2007 and 2008 and came in third here in the iowa caucuses. that's when it started tumbling down. >> we are seeing republicans preemptively striking before she enters this race. >> you mention the republican candidates out on the road hitting her pretty hard, focusing their energy on her. and the republican national committee is now going out this weekend adding some key swing states saying this about clinton. >> please join me in welcoming hillary rodham clinton. >> she has some explaining to do. >> used her personal e-mail account. >> wanted to reset relations with russia. >> millions of dollars for foreign governments. >> it was a lie. >> what difference? at this point does it make? >> you hear the republican

attacks on hillary before she is announced today. they are holding a series of rallies in her defense, making it clear that as they expect this onslaught from the other side they will be out there to defend her. >> definitely a big weekend for politics and we will be standing by for her big announcement. thank you very much. >> and of course stay right here for a fair and balanced debate for how hillary clinton's announcement changes the 2016 field. and tomorrow former republican presidential nominee reacts on fox news sunday. you can check your local listing for show times. and we want to hear from you at home now. what do you think about hillary clinton's low key plans for her 2016 campaign launch? it will happen over social media. you can tweet us with what you think and we're going to read

some of your tweets coming up a little later in the show. >> turning now to an investigation that centers on controversial actions by mrs. clinton her deputy chief of staff reportedly given special government employee status as she went from full to part time status back in june of 2012. this made it possible for her to work for mrs. clinton and a private consulting firm until february of 2013. all of this being revealed in a letter sent to the state department late friday by senator chuck grasly. the senator plans to review the controversial program. >> and now to panama city for the handshake shaking up the world. president obama is about to have his second encounter with cuban dictator raul castro. they shook hands at the summit of americas in a picture that

was worth about a thousand words. there's the handshake that has a lot of folks pretty upset. the two are joining other leaders from north and south america for a group feephoto. this is a live picture from the -- the very latest. >> great to talk to you. that was a picture worth a thousand words. to be sure the two men meeting briefly and they will have a much longer opportunity to have a sit down and face to face later today. it underscores the ongoing -- and separated by just 90 miles and remaining worlds apart. you pointed out the fact that the men were photographed taking a picture shaking hands. by the way the president did

speak yesterday and continued to address the conference today. he says about cuba, look the two sides will have a number of differences but that's no reason they can't work together moving forward. >> as we move towards the process of normalization, we will have our differences government to government. just as we differ among other nations and with our closest allies there's nothing wrong with that. >> meanwhile both abroad and back at home the president and the white house policy towards re-establishing diplomatic ties with cuba continues to face fierce opposition. i'm familiar with how much of the cuban american population there feels about this issue. perhaps stratified a bit. the criticism is back on capitol hill. take a look at what lindsay graham is saying about the white

house. and ultimately the cuban people. president obama is truly writing a new chapter in american foreign policy. these latest chapters are ones that america and the values we stand for -- human rights, freedom, democracy in retreat and decline. he is supposed to have a news conference. for now, back to you in dc. >> appreciate it. kevin. joining us in the second hour of america's news headquarters will be carlos curbelo. we will talk about what it means for u.s. and cuba relations. >> the news back in this country, hundreds of mourners are attending. the afterry man american man shot by a white officer this weekend. that officer now charnled with

murder. the impact it's having. welcome, great to have you with us tavis smiley. >> thank you. >> i couldn't let you go without asking you about the events as they have transpired over the week. i know you say this is no so much about black and white although there are those who would suggest that it is another indication of those tensions between black and white officers. >> clearly there is a problem when you see a pattern. i think it is a pattern of black men being murdered by these cops, in this case a cop who went on to lie about what happened on the scene. if there are persons who believe these are isolated incidents but how many isolated incidents equal a pattern. it's hard to tell other americans other fellow citizens of good conscious that we don't have a problem.

we have to realize there are more white citizens killed by cops. if we don't start to reign this in, we will all pay a heavier price in the years and months to come. that's an american catastrophe that we have to prevent. >> what if this video had not surfaced showing what had taken place? a lot of folks said we would not be here and this man would not be in jail. it continues to fuel the tensions that remain. moral and ethical activity on film but it makeous wonder what happens when there are no cameras around. >> are you concerned that rev rand al sharpton is going to be going down there to preach at

the church where the man and this family attended services. does this tend to politicize the issue to a level where things get out of hand? i think ultimately we get so caught up with personality that we don't focus on policy. we get so much on the idealogical that we look past good ideas. i think we have an uncivil discourse in our society. we get caught up on individuals that we done focus on the issues. there are too many black men who are being murdered by cops. that's not to suggest that all cops are bad. we don't ian need to waste time on that. you can't stha we don't have a problem that needs to be addressed. >> i want to talk about the

book. a special book indeed. this is a very special reflection about the years you spent with her and the years you shared between the two of you. >> i was 21 years old when i met her. i was a young aid. got a chance to meet her briefly when i was just a kid working for him and decided that her presence was so powerful. pregnant with such passion that i wanted to make sure that i got to spend more time with her. i had no idea that something would happen that would give me an opportunity to go africa with her at her invitation and i got a chance to carry her bags. in that two week period, although there was a huge gap between her intellect and mine, her experience and my experience, a huge gap in our ages, a huge gap in our world view, it means something that a young black man has someone in

her stature say you matter. she hemmed me find my own voice. >> what was it about her specifically that really gave you that feeling that you could really look to her? >> it's a beautiful question. it ties back to the killings. maya angelou said i am human. i think she's america's ultimate renaissance woman. but she focused exclusively on the humanity of all fellow citizens. we have to find a way in the maya angelou tradition to not just respect human beings but to revel in humanity, to stop contesting the humanity and dignity, america might one day be a better place. >> do you think she realized the effect she had? >> i think she never took

herself too seriously. she told me not to put her on a pedestal. she said we are essentially public servants. we're not human and divine. she loved serving people. i think the take away from this book and there are many i hope, is that she's a model of how to mentor. we need to make sure that we invest time and spend time. there's a disconnect. >> no doubt about that. i know you learned many lessons from her but if there is one that really sticks with you what would it be? >> every one of us has a role to play and each of us matter. sometimes bad things do happen to good people. she is raped at the age of seven. doesn't speak for five and a half years and she had to fight

her way back to find her voice and find her place in the world. she said when she was on that search she said to me, we find our path by walking it. we find our path by walking it. >> beautiful lesson indeed. amazing woman. what a blessing for you to spend all of that time with her. >> a seminole relationship of my life. >> great to have you here today. >> appreciate it. >> all the best. >> you, too. >> all but four families can go home now in south carolina. a 39 car train derailment in that state forced a massive evacuation in the middle of the night. authorities say one of the tankers was carrying a highly toxic form of ammonia. there were no injured reported. the ntsb is on scene trying to figure out what caused the derailment. >> and coming up on america's

news headquarters after devastating deadly tornados like this one residents are being allowed to come back. but is even more bad weather on the way? we will have the very latest. and jurors convicting dzhokhar tsarnaev on all counts will now decide whether she should live or die. >> and much on our top story, hillary clinton finally set to announce her 2016 presidential aspirations while supporters wait for her big announcement tomorrow her opponents show just how they feel. >> is hillary rodham clinton really who you want to be our first woman president? is she really truly worthy of that high honor? >> well a fair and balanced debate coming up. our political panel will be weighing in right after the break.

>> an update to powerful tornados hitting illinois. the national weather service says eight tornados hit illinois during the storm. the strongest of the tornados hitting fairdale. more bad weather could be in store for tonight. potential storms are moving across the texas panhandle. large hail and strong winds are the primary threat. >> and everything about the presidential race is real. but the timing and how she plans to do it on social media raises a lot of questions about how strong of a candidate she is thinks she and and has the ability to be. for a fair and balanced discussion, we have the washington director for move

on.org, men appreciate you being here. you think the timing on this is significant? there has been a lot of talk about hillary wanting to wait until sometime this summer. >> the knifes are already out for hillary. now she can bunk back. secretary clinton has a chance to lay out her vision, the reason why she's running and not just in the mode, but time to get into the fight. >> make no mistake about it. she has been running for more than a decade. and iowa, pennsylvania colorado and florida, and frankly the biggest problem she faces right now because of the e-mail scandal it's really a trust deficit and that's her problem. i want to play the video from last time around. 2007 she announced her campaign with a video. take a look.

>> i'm not just starting a campaign. i'm beginning a conversation with you. >> nothing says conversation like sitting alone in a living room talking to a camera. does this work in places like iowa where voters are so used to having campaigns by politicians who are willing to come out and actually pound the pavement go into every little custard stand and meet folks rather than some slickly produced video? >> every report says post a video online and go straight to iowa. >> different strategy than last time. >> and it's not a stadium arena or speaking in front of a roaring crowd. she will go out and talk to people. that's what she did in 2000. >> do you think that works for her? >> she got upended by barack obama. let me say the following. the problem is she wanted a coronation and frankly 72% of democrats and independents are not thrilled with that idea.

right now they see her as someone who is politically entitled. >> one thing that i would agree with is it's better for the country and the nominee. it's definitely better for the democratic party to have a real nomination. i think a lot of people would like to see a real debate about the issue. when you go from zero to even one candidate there's finally a chance to lay out a vision. >> good point. but other than being a woman whrks wha is her vision? the iranians nuclear deal? wall street regulation. you should love that. >> ready to hear from her. she can start laying it out. >> out of desperation. her numbers are crumbling and she's losing support. >> i want to get in on those

numbers. take a look at this polel coming out of iowa if she were to take on rand paul. and then take a look at the crust worthy numbers. only 43% of people say that she is trust worthy. 49% say no. can you come back from that? >> absolutely. this is the beginning of a campaign.

to remind the american public that she thinks she is entitled just because she's a woman. she has been running for a decade and a half for presidents. we have fresh new ideas and we're going to move america to a better place. >> they say politics is more. a pretty tough cast. >> everybody is going be slugging. >> research. >> not everyone has an extraordinary politicalization. i think warren would be an amazing candidate but i think that hillary is a formidable candidate. frankly who are better off with hillary clinton. the question is whether or not they take advantage of it.

>> we will see starting tomorrow. ben, thank you so much. >> there is much more ahead. >> don't go to the line. >> on the highway, a woman wandered in the middle of a busy freeway. what happens next will surprise you. plus, judgment day, prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for boston marathon bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev. the decision will come in whether he should live or die. >> no matter if he gets the death penalty or life in prison, our lives are forever changed regardless of what happens to him. i believe that the judgment doesn't come until after he dies anyway.

>> welcome back. the senate foreign relations

committee is set to debate a bill that would call for congress to have a say on the new bill between the u.s. and iran. many are concerned that it could paef pave the way for islam to build a nuclear weapon. >> con dwress jest wants an outline of two big problems that they have. they still don't trust the iranianss and they don't think that the white house has the authority to negotiate with tehran on their own. so there's a bill by bob corker and bob menendez that would halt any agreement while the senate decides if they like it or not. it can't have so much support that the president could not veto away their power play. >> very, very close to where we could have 67 votes to override something along these lines. and whether or not we get over the 67 vote threshold is going to depend on details that we

don't yet have access to. >> there are democrats like virginia's tim cain that insist the deal won't crumble just because the senate crafts their own legislation and reassurance comes as top officials try to explain that just because the iranianss want all sanctions lifted right away doesn't mean that a nuclear deal will favor their side over our side. >> certainly the iranianss are emphasizing their interest and desire to achieve sanctions relief in this deal but the fact of the matter is we have a frame work and the president said if the details don't bear out the agreement that was reached we will not get a final deal. >> keep an eye on capitol hill on tuesday. >> all right. thank you very much. and this note, don't miss fox news sunday. bob menendez, a critic of the

deal, will be joining chris wallace with concerns over the nuclear deal. you can check your local times and listings. >> the jury in the boston bombing case didn't takevict their man. the defense attorney all but admitted he did it. the dangerous strategy as they race towards the sentencing phase where the jury will decide if dzhokhar tsarnaev will face death or life in prison. as you look at this case the defense never really worked very well. this seems to almost be the my brother made me do it defense. does that have any better luck? >> it doesn't. guilty on all 30 counts. 17 of the counts he could be executed. and the jury will decide does he live or die?

>> one of the arguments is that all right he did it. it was terrible. we shil give him life in prison because it was the brother who made him do it. he just went along with it. is that something that resonates with juries and the number of lives that have been changed by the bombing? >> it shouldn't but this is massachusetts. i think the prosecution has a big mountain to climb. remember, if one juror out of the 12 says no death, then he lives. the defense needs one juror to agree he shouldn't be executed and he lives. >> do they have a long time to debate? how long do they get to debate if he lives or dies? >> as long as they want. if they can't agree, then it's life without patrol. they must all 12 agree on the

death penalty. >> all 12 must say death only one to say no. do they get to have victims come in and say this is how? do they have to stick to this is how it affected my life. >> the prosecution is going to put on people who may have lost limbs. they are going to put on victims relatives to talk about the horror, the evil and the hurt that they will have for the rest of their lives. >> there is an argument that goes something along the line of you shouldn't put terrorists to death because it's what they want. does that play into this argument at all? do they say never mind don't

give them what they want? >> yes, that is an issue under current. he may try to do that. >> he has an absolute right to testify and tell the jury he wants to say. he didn't do it at the guilty phase. >> so he can make a rant about radical islam as much as he wants? >> yeah. >> we have a sound bite previewing something they could say in court. >> it's not something that you will ever be over. you will feel it forever. it will always be something that brings it back to the forefront. >> has that been your experience? >> yes. something that they will live

with forever. and that justice will prevail. >> all to say yes, if we needed to, we would put the death penalty on the table and would sentence him to death if he doesn't. >> a woman risked her life and dozens of drivers on a busy highway. you will see what leads to the dramatic rescue and what happens after that. and helping to save an iconic symbol of the loan star staet and why the alamo is in a battle after years of neglect and disrepair. this texas shrine in need of a big facelift and how you can help. ♪ ♪ remember the alamo ♪

not have been driving but she should not have been wandering on the busy highway. this is the highway. she was stumbling in and out of lanes. at one point she asked a news camera man for jumper cables. don't know why. cars were sworveing to avoid hitting her. the california highway patrol officers showed up and arrested her on drunk driving charges. thanks to very aware motorists there were no accidents or injuries reported. >> she has stood as the symbolic heart of the loan star state rallying texans to gain independence from mexico and now the alamo finds itself in the midst of a new high profile fight. following decades of neglect and disrepair that pushes on to give the alamo a much needed

facelift. who had been managing the alamo since 1905 were fired by the texas land office. this happened after evidence that the alamo had been in desperate need of repairs and that money wasn't being used properly to care for the site. water leaks have added to cracks and rotting beams. this making for a texas sized battle that propel the legend of davy crockett, and more. welcome, great to have you here today. >> i think so many folks around the country would be surprised to know that this famed symbol has gone for decades without major repairs that have been needed to preserve the site. why has it taken so long to do something about this? >> well, we have actually recently done some significant

repairs. the roof of the alamo that was in need of a lot of help has been repaired as well as the roof of the other area. so we have been addressing some of those needs over the last few years since the general land office took over oversight in 201 20111. >> isn't it true that you have had had problems with water leaks after years and years of neglect? >> well, it's an old building and we have taken a look at that and of course been watching that since we have had oversight and have been working on all of those issues. it's a 300 year old building and it's limestone. we're in the middle of finishing up studies on conservation and preservation to help us prioritize and help us work on other things that we see in need of repair restoration and other types of really strong powerful conservation efforts as well as

preservation that needs to be done. it's actually an exciting time for us to go back in and use current technology to be able to help us find what really needs to be done, prioritize that and put some resources into that to be sure that the alamo is here 300 years from now. >> absolutely and beyond. i know you really can't comment on the daughters of the republic of texas organization due to a lawsuit that has been filed but since it was clear that repairs have been needed for some time, the repairs that you speak of about the roof have taken place. what's the biggest problem that needs to be addressed first? >> on the prerz vags what we are seeing is the need to address rising damp. that is the area around the base gets wet when it is there. there are different technologyies that are available now.

others that are helping us to discover the best process and way to stop that from happening as much. we will begin soops we understand it and we will begin working on that. >> the land commission decided to make the change with the daughters of the republic of texas, they are the ones who made the move to not renew the contract and the daughters put out this statement. for months the daughters of the republic of texas attempted in good faith over the ownership and management of the library collection. the recent actions of the state which occurred suddenly and without opportunity for meaningful dialogue left no opportunity but to file the lawsuit. going forward i know that san antonio the city of san antonio is going to put up about a million dollars to get necessary funding to move ahead?

>> yes. we announced yesterday that we're going to be working with the state of san antonio in a master planning process. there has been a revival of downtown san portion of the alamo plaza, so we'll be working together with the city to be sure that we can restore the area. what happens when you come into downtown san antonio, it's -- the alamo is in the center, in the heart of san antonio, and sometimes a little hard to find, but also a little broken up with streets and different types of things. we want to revision how we can make that area a little more sacred and really stand for the things that we've been hearing from our xhintcommunity and texans that they want to see around the shrine of texas liberty. we need the city's help and the work of our key stakeholders order to make that happen and do

it right. the last time this has been visioned from the city's perspective has been 1994, so the commissioner has made the alamo a priority for him. it only makes sense in our planning process to work with the city so we're working side by side, and not two parallel different plans. it's exciting, though, to be able to see there's this ability to do it, that there are resources. our needs are significant. we want to develop a museum and visitors center that's worthy of the alamo and its story. >> absolutely. it's a one of the site. >> we can't wait to see what will come out that. >> and something that's truly appreciates to texas. thank you so much for joining with us and sharing us the good news about the future of the alamo alamo. thank you. come see us soon. a second suspect has been arrested in connection to a terror plot in a u.s. military base here in america. the details are in the next hour of america's news headquarters.
