self defense. and also, a deadly air disaster leaves would- be rescuers helpless. >> it was engulfed inside out. >> it is a tragedy just short of the runway. it is all "happening now". >> we begin with politics. two big contenders jumping in the race today. welcome to "happening now" i am jenna lee. >> and more to come. i am jon scott. hillary clinton on the road to iowa after kicking off her campaign on social media. marco rubio will announce he will run for president later today in miami. he told top donors that he is uniquely qualified for the job. >> we have fox team coverage and ed henrow in iowa and we begin
10:02 am
with chief correspondent carl cameron in miami. >> reporter: hi, jon, down in front of the freedom tower. marco rubio will make the announcement at 6:00 p.m. eastern time. this is where cubans were processed in 1962. it is a symbol for him. his background and history and heritage and his emphasize for the foreign policy and the need for u.s. to have a more sophisticated and robust foreign policy than what president obama and hillary clinton offered. he came out and we shouted him questions and here is a sampling of late. >> i look forward to seeing you guys tonight. i hope you guys will be here tonight, it will be great. >> are you prepared to be president. >> reporter: we tried but it is only a few hours before we hear
10:03 am
what mr. rubio has to say. he will emphasize foreign policy and take a mainstream approach. and he has a tax cut proposal and what he will be doing is positioning himself to be the now face of the republican party and real change looking forward in american politics. oblique and direct references to hillary clinton and jeb bush. governor jeb bush from florida will super into the race. he is a long- time mentor of rubio. and there is a rift growing there and an obvious one with rubio's announcement for president today. he will not run for senate. rand paul announced presidential aspiration and he will run for senate reelection. ted cruz was the first.
10:04 am
rubio believes in the terms of new senators with tea party allegiances marco rubio was the first senator to be elected and they believe he is far more electable than paul and cruz. >> interesting. and you don't want to miss hanity. marco rubio will join shaun after the big announcement right here on fox news channel. we want to hear from you. do you think that marco rubio has a chance to win the white house in 2016. we'll go to fox news.com/"happening now". >> and hillary clinton is hitting the rod trying to win the job that eluded her eight years ago. she will be in the van that takes her to iowa.
10:05 am
our chief correspondent is looking for the van wherever it is. you know we are talking about marco rubio. he's never run for president before but hillary clinton has. what is different approximate this time around? >> reporter: gen, it is a good question. what she brings to the table is doing this before. rand paul and marco rubio and we might see martin o'mallory. she came up short with 18 million votes. she spent a lot of time in iowa and what might be different this time her advisors hope she will not take it for granted. she tried to waltz in iowa with all of the money and endorsements and momentum and maybe the ground game she
10:06 am
thought, but it was taken away from her by barak obama. they hope she will make it less about her and more about the american people and more about the middle-class. that's why the announcement she didn't appear until 90 seconds in it and it was all about being a champion for the middle-class. we have done reporting on the ground here in iowa and talking to it iowa democrats, they say she will have a stoper climb their her campaign thinks. >> she's taking it seriously. and i think she understands she has to earn the nomination. but again, this is totally open and more open than the media thinks. >> reporter: so maybe more open than the national media thinks and that's why hillary clinton will be here in iowa and
10:07 am
carefully core grapped and no introduce or reporters and not facing tough questions about e-mail or anything. >> apparently the van has a name? >> reporter: it is called skooby do. it reminds her of the magic van from skooby do days. and maybe they will find the deleted e-mails and the hillary camp reminds of a similar van in the new york senate campaign and that one went a lot better than 2007. >> what every gets you. there eventually you have to get there. >> reporter: we are on the look out. >> very important to listen to what iowans are saying. >> former secretary of state hillary clinton's experience if foreign affairs will be a campaign issue.
10:08 am
and with so much trouble around the world her record could work for her or against her. tom bevin is executive editer. can she point to her time as secretary of state and say see, i made things better. >> that's the question, john. she has foreign policy experience and will have more than anyone who the republicans put forward as her time as secretary of state. but the question is, will she make the case that she made a positive impact? it is where benghazi and the first american ambassador tide it on her watch. and russian is a failure and obama's foreign policy in the middle east that is a mess. it may not be a strong suit for clinton. events can change. but it is an open question whether that foreign policy
10:09 am
experience will be a mruls or minus for her. >> what about the champion for every day americans; is that in reaction of how she was perceived last time around? >> and it is. last time around she was ridiculed for her announcement, i am in it to win it. it was about her. this way she makes sure it is about everybody else. and watching her video her time is making that clear. it is a reaction. she will try to portray herself as a champion of every day working americans. whether that comes off as phony and contrived or she's able to rewrite the script and make that connection we'll have to see. it will be interesting. >> there was a recent nbc news poll, said one in three americans approve of the job that barak obama is doing if
10:10 am
foreign policy. and obviously hillary clinton was part of that. she fls secretary of state his entire first term in office. how does she separate herself from barak obama and point to successes as secretary of state if people are feeling that way about the job? >> right, that's the question, john. it is not only on foreign policy. although that is where she is most tied to the president. it is on obama care and other issues as well right? she doesn't want to run for barak obama's third term. that doesn't work. she has to find ways to differentiate herself and yet doing that without alienating the base. she needs to keep them together to win the general election. that is an interesting needle to thread and she is not a great campaigner and she might be rusty. it is interesting to see how she
10:11 am
would do that. >> and the gaffes she made claiming that she and her husband was dead broke. she makes millions from speaking each year. she left the board of the clinton global foundation. can she present herself as authentic and in touch when she makes 300000 a speech. >> i don't think you will see her give those speeches now she is a candidate. your question is a good one. democrats will vote for hillary in the general election and republicans will vote against her. and what does the small slice of true independents, what are they going to do? will they look for authtensity. and the question is if she makes the connection, or whether it will come across as contrived.
10:12 am
>> are they called every day americans? >> most people think of themselves as special one way or another. i don't know that every day americans is a campaign theme that will work. but we'll see. tom, thank you. >> thanks jon. >> more on politics in the hour. meanwhile a college went on lock down after a deadly shooting and a manhunt for the killer. and a woman abandoned her special needs son. police say he's lucky to be alive.

point down the road. let's listen in. >> in deciding sentencing and that's the appropriate way and that's what justice is. justice requires equity and sometimes equity is not what victims want it to be. this case has been different from others, not because of the type of case, not because of what happened, but because of the strange attraction and cause for so many. this court has the experience to know the difference between a listen mob from social media and their request and i am not refers to the victims and equity and sentencing and what is justice and fair. this is a difficult decision, and i don't in any way think that this is a light decision at all. facts are gruesome and for two
10:17 am
minutes what jodi did was horrible and the pain she caused was reprehensible. but this is case is no worse than so many other cases that came before the courts in the county. and what happened when those defendants received a possibility of release. it is only a possibility. it is not even a guarantee. >> and that's the attorney for jodi arias trying to make the plea that she deserves a possibility of parole. jodi testified in front of the judge and said she remembers the moment when she plunged the knife in the neck of former boyfriend travis alexander when she convicted so brutally of murdering. her story has changed and one point she said she wanted the death penalty and the prosecutor reminded that the jury was dead
10:18 am
locked in favor of the death penalty 11- 1. and the second jury dead locked as well. and jodi arias goes to prison for life. but the question is will she get parole or not. and we'll keep you updated on what the court decides. >> in north carolina today. one person was convicted of a shooting. and according to the sheriff's office it was not a random situation and the campus was on lock down as they look for the gunman. the fbi is monitoring the situation but not responding at this time. we will bring you more information on the developing story as it comes in. >> a horrible story in philadelphia. a woman abandoned a severely
10:19 am
disabled son leaving him alone in a park so she could visit her boyfriend in maryland. >> john, the 21-year-old quad plegic survived only by the grace of god. the 41-year-old left her son in his wheelchair with a blanket and bible in a park. he suffered from cerebral palsy and cannot speak and completely defenseless. and yet he survived five nights on his own and probably would not be alive if not for someone taking a stroll. >> a man sees the wheelchair and sos the kid lying there on the ground and does the right thing and calls the police right away. >> the young man is treated in a local hospital for dehydration and malnutrition and a cut on
10:20 am
his back. his mother was turned into authorities by the boyfriend she visited in silver springs maryland. she is in the hospital for an undisclosed illness. and an arrest warrant was issued. police in maryland said when she is well enough parlor will be be taken into custody and be charged. she seemed to be a pretty good parent. and now many are asking why doesn't she reach out to friends and family and authorities before leaving her disabled son abandoned? >> thank you. >> well timing and substance an issue in this next story. russia lifting the ban and clearing new way of arm's shipment to iran. what would it contain? >> plus. >> a plane just crashed and we

>> fox news alert and we have an answer in the jodi arias retrial. the judge sherry stephens has sentenced jodi arias to life in prison with no possibility of parole. she went through two trials with prosecutors hoping to get the death penalty for the woman you see on the right of your screen there. and both jury's were dead locked and if that happens she must be sentenced to life in prison. the question of parole the judge said jodi arias does not
10:25 am
deserve the possibility of parole. her team demonized the victim. there were gasps and tears in the courtroom today as jodi talked about her exboyfriend and the day of the murder. but sherry stephens is not buying it. jodi goes to prison without the possibility of parole but although we expect her side to appeal. >> there is aggressive maneuvers in the air. the u.s. will file a complaint after a russian fighter jet intercepted a plane in an unsafe and unprofessional manner over the baltic sea. and in the meantime russian president putin lifting the band on missile deliveries to iran. christopher, talk to us about what russia is doing in the air.
10:26 am
you say this is one example of many times that russia jets have come too close? >> that's right. over the last year or so since the invasion of ukraine and occupation of crimea russia armed forces and nato armed forces and u.s. and united kingdom have had approximately 100 of these close encounters over the baltic sea or north sea or english channel and 11 have been near misses where the transponder was turned off and sneaked up on the other. and it is dangerous not only for the pilots and aircraft but the region as a whole. it may have come as close as 20 feet. that could be too close for a person. why is russia doing this and we are filing a complaint.
10:27 am
should we do something else? >> we should file a complaint. but there is a lot going on in the baltic sea. russians are putting military kit along the sea. and that is part of russia and surrounded on both sides by nato allies allies. and polland is right there. and there are concerns over the russian occupation and bolster our recognizance and forces in the regions to let the russian government know that we take our nato obligations seriously. filing a protest is minimal response. you will probably see recognizance with fighter escort. >> is russia trying to prove a point and how do we respond. what is our maximum response. >> somebody on one side makes a foolish mistake and we start
10:28 am
shooting. >> you think that is a risk? this plane was caught off guard and it was a recognizance plane. there is a risk of that happening because they are so close. >> that is the reason why it is important to cool attaches on potting sides right now. recognizance is one thing that keeps an eye on the adversari. putting a fighter jet with a transponder on is very disruptive and it is a way of getting our attention and expressing frustration with our policy. we have an obligation to understand what is going on and make sure we respond to russia we do it with your interest in mind and not their provocation. >> what about what russia is doing with iran. and we noticed that the
10:29 am
framework nuclear agreement that is tossed around and a lot of different voices from all sides. russia is basically giving an antimissile system to iran and a system they were not going to give in 2010 and allowing to be delivered now. what do you make of that? >> there is a lot of carrots and sticks. a back story for you jenna. 2007 iran and russia signed a deal to transfer the surface to air missiles that are basically used to shoot down airplane. and russia joined the coalition against iran and now that the framework agreement is in place russia said there is no longer to incent vise good iran
10:30 am
behavior. it is something that is in russia's right to do and problematic for us. and it needs to be seen in those context. >> you think that russia is proving a point to israel and united states, if the deal falls apart and you take military action, iran will be better defended than perhaps it would be? >> that is one interpretation. a simple one russia likes to play both sides of the particular negotiation. they and the chinese are a go-between iran and the rest. and putting carrots on the table is part of russia's positioning itself as a go-between. and the secondary argument is not the only thing in play here. >> a lot to consider. christopher, thank you so much. >> good to be back. >> was it self defense or
10:31 am
murder? a young lawyer found shot to death and his girlfriend on trial for murder and she claims she killed him in self defense. >> a life changing victory for a progolfer to win a masters. and the impact it will have. o severe rheumatoid arthritis like me and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira giving me new perspective. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal

police accused shena huberts of shooting and killing her boyfriend back in 2012. she claimed it was self defense. prosecutors said she was angry because he was about to break up with her. we'll bring in our legal panel. and brian is a attorney and ashley is a criminal defense attorney. she shot him six times and twice in the head and four more times in the body. that doesn't sound like self defense. >> that's going to be the hardest part for her whether or not the final shots killed him. she called 911 and went through exactly what happened and she made a statement that the final shots were to stop the twitching. if they get a medical examiner to say the first initial shots were not the ones that resulted in her death, then she has
10:36 am
a problem. intent can be formed in a split second and prior to shooting the fatal shots. that will undermind herself defense. >> it happen in the condominium that they shared. two people know what happened and one of them is dead. it is a circumstantial case. how can they prove it was intentional homicide? >> if i was the prosecutor, i would harp on the 911 call. i admit i have not personally heard it but this is where the jury will make their decision. does she sound like a dam sel in distress or does she sound calculating and telling a tall tale. when the jury evaluates the testimony one of the many things they look for is demeanor and it is where the case will hinge.
10:37 am
>> ma'am, i have killed my boyfriend in self defense. that's what she said to the dispatcher. ashley. i heard a lot of 911 calls. self defense doesn't figure in many of them. >> she seemed calm. and seemed to explain everything in great detail that undercuts her defense. and so it will matter how she comes across on the stand and if she comes across as sympathetic and scared. that 911 call will hurt her. the state will argue it was calculated and was laying her defense because she planned it out. that is the state is going to have to it prove motive. >> go ahead. >> and they need to, though. >> that is not an element of murder. >> not at all. but they need to. >> they never have to prove
10:38 am
motive. that is not something they have to bring evidence for. >> we at the top of this hour, we were getting the final resolution of the jodi arias case. this is about the most brutal killing i had seen and yet going to prison for life without parole because the jury couldn't decide on the death penalty. it takes a couple of questions to leave a juror hung up or acquit somebody. >> the defense raises self defense motive comes in to play because they have to disprove the self defense. normally they don't have to prove motive. but if you say i did it in self defense the burden shifts. that's why the jorwill want to hear motive. >> it doesn't sound like it takes six shots to stop
10:39 am
somebody. brian and ashley we'll keep an eye on the case. >> thank you. >> a young golfer wins the master's tournament in dominating fashion. watch this. >> one of the epic performance in the annuals of the sport. >> he's 21 years old and jordan is finishing a staggering 18 under par and tying the master's record. and jim gray sports castor and watched all of this along with more than hundred countries. to many it was not just that he won but how. why is that so important? >> reporter: he broke the record set by tiger woods. no one thought it would be
10:40 am
brokening. tiger broke it and spieth set the record after 18 holes and he had 28 birdies and broke phil michelson's record and he would have broken the nan under and instead he tied it. and just lost his concentrations after he won the tournament and missed the putt. it was a record no one thought could be touched. >> is he the next tiger woods; what do you think? >> reporter: he is the first jordan spieth. tiger has won 14 majors and second most tournament majors behind jack nicholas. and jordan spiehth.
10:41 am
and kobe bryant was supposed to be michael jordan. and he had five championships and jordan had six. there is a long, long way to go. and he is a great breadth of fresh air. it is really early to say that after one masters in the age of 21. >> it certainly is. and his family there. and his family story, jim makes him unique. we'll play it now. >> i saw my family and friends right behind the green there and at that point, knew it was going to be a done deal. it was cool to share my family. they haven't been there when i have won. and to be at this one is special. >> tell us about his family, jim. >> they are a great family and they have supported him. he has a 14-year-old special needs sister that was not there.
10:42 am
but it keeps him grounded and humble and making a birdie is not an important factor in his life compareed to a parbecause he sees what goes on with his sister and he said she loves him so much and not able to be there yesterday. that keeps him grounded and that's what was in his thoughts perspective of his entire life. and his caddy michael, he was an elementary school teacher and picked him up and they have walked together 3 or 4 years and not a traditional caddy and it was not his vocation and so much to like in the way jordan plays and acts on and off of the course and the way he represents himself with golf and his family. we are now with rory number one and jordan number two.
10:43 am
and these are guys that are likeable guys and kurtious and groceries. >> and score one for the good guys news stories around here. >> with what you guys go through. that is the truth. >> we'll take jordan and whatever else comes out. >> and adding a few pounds in middle age is not a bad thing. gaining weight could lower your rick of a dreaded disease. and a historic launch in kennedy space center in florida. >> reporter: space x is making history to be the first private space company to orbit the earth and to make it in the space station. they hope to land their rocket ten minutes after it blasts off on a landing pad. it will be incredible and we'll
10:47 am
>> coming up today on the real story. septemberor marco rubio getting set to jump in the presidential race now. he's doing it in the freedom tower in florida. what is the significance of. that and new information on the planes we are flying on and which airline overbook and lose your baggage the most. what was the mom of a two-year-old toddler thinking about when she danningled her two-year-old in the zoo. >> attempted to land falcon flight rocket on a barge. previous landing landed in a explosion. but the founder said his company resolved that problem. and phil keating is live in ken kenned space center in florida.
10:48 am
how is it looking for today. >> reporter: well the clouds are expected to materialize and weather could scrub the 4:33 easter time launch attempt. there is a 40 percent chance of that. but if it is all systems go and goes off, we could see space history made today. look at this test landing that space x did previously. this shoes what they are trying to do. land the friendship story tall rocket in a slow decent upride controlled landing. and concept to reuse rockets over and over like plans. and the landing himself is a drone ship floating 200 miles east of jacksonville and landing on something so small in the ocean will be incredible. >> i think the implications are
10:49 am
huge and in the long-term it may change how we approach transportation to space. if it is successful first? it would be an epic launch and landing party, i guess. and space x likes to party. >> reporter: and on top of the rocket is food and equipment and specific and an italian espressos for the italian astronaut and 20 mice. they will live up there in micro gravity and float around and unfortunately evenually die and being killed and dissected in space to help us to learn more how living in space hurts the organisms. that's why they are living up there for one year to so how their body reacts over 12 months all to plant the seeds
10:50 am
of knowledge and to go out to mars. and as far as landing the rocket on the pad. they give it a 75 to 80 percent maybe 80% chance of success. it will be exciting to much with a. think about it, they'll save so much money. 100-fold. >> wow. well we'll see what happens with that. in the meantime on "happening now," we appreciate a good cappuccino. so we understand the espresso machine totally. bill, thank you. a new study linking body weight to dementia. but it's not what you might think. who researchers say could have a greater risk of a developing disorder. help join a continent with nearly 3 million rugged square miles with a single broadband connection. when emerson takes up the challenge it's never been done before simply becomes consider it solved.
10:54 am
dementia. finding city participants who were underweight have a 34% increased risk of developing dementia. if you were severely obese, you had a 49% reduced risk. talk to us a little bit about this, why would this be that if you were slightly underweight, you would have a greater propensity for dementia. >> first of all these are pretty startling findings. they really contradict some previous studies looking at weight and your risk of dementia. in this study they found bmi under 20 actually had a significantly increased risk for dementia. >> tell us about that. if you're under 20 bmi, how underwait weight are you? >> right now we talk about a bmi of 18 as being really underweight. 20 is closer towards the normal range but it is under average for your height. what's even more surprising, those who were obese and swir
10:55 am
severely obese had a protected factor. >> that word protected stood out in the study. that kind of goes with the term obesity, "insulated." >> that's the startling part. we don't know why we are seeing this protection if you're severely obese. we do know when you are obese you have a higher risk of heart attack, diabetes cancer. so there are a lot of other bad things that will happen when you are obese. this one study did show that perhaps you may be protected against dementia. why? we do not know the scientific basis for this. >> did the state say in the study you might have less dementia but you are still at risk for other things that could really impact your life? >> they didn't really look at other outcomes like heart attack but they did try to adjust for things like blood pressure and cholesterol. i think if we can understand why that extra weight protects you we may be able to develop better treatments for dementia. for the average person does this mean go out and eat those
10:56 am
cheeseburgers and gain weight no, overall this is not good for your health. this study looked at people that were an average age of 55. we don't know what it means for people who are younger and severely obese, or older and severely obese. >> thank you so much. what do sky diving, corgis and ducklings have in common? three stories you don't want to miss.
