c, common sense or business sense. let's be clear. the california drought isn't man made it's liberal man made. so let's not blame mother nature. blame liberal lonnelic. it's never right. have a great weekend, everybody. hello, everybody, i'm uma pej raju in washington. a devastating earthquake hits nepal. leaving hundreds and unfortunately that number is expected to rise as we get reports some villages are all but wiped out. another controversy strikes. just as hillary clinton pitches ahead in her run for the white house. an explosive new book getting set to hit the book shelves soon. alleging millions in speaking fees and donations bought favors at the clinton state department. >> i think the former secretary of state's going to have to spend a fair amount of time explaining why the rules are different for the clintons.
9:01 am
>> -- responding to those incidents and trying to defend the president from accusations that are not rooted or accompanied by any evidence. my point is right now that's what's happening to secretary clinton. >> so what's the political fallout? we will speak with former new hampshire governor john sin knewu who is here to weigh in. and it's an app aimed at helping avoid traffic jams but some in law enforcement are saying it's putting officer's lives in big danger. >> if you're going to identify law enforcement's locations or something like that i can only think of the unthinkable. it doesn't only put us at risk but it puts the people at risk we're trying to help as well. >> you will hear from milwaukee sheriff david clark who has some big concerns about this smart phone device. and we begin this hour with the breaking news. a powerful earthquake pounding
9:02 am
nepal today. collapsing homes it leveling centuries old temples and triggering avalanches at mt. everest's base camp. leaving a path of death and destruction destruction. authorities are saying at least 900 people are dead. and that death toll is rising by the hour. david piper is joining us now with more on the breaking news. david. >> it's feared the death toll could rise considerably once those search teams reach the epicenter of the quake. there's still no word of those climbers mt. everest. the powerful quake struck an area between the capital kathmandu and the city of kara. felt across the region from bangladesh to tibet and india. the ground shook, quite odd, for
9:03 am
30 seconds. looking around, i happened to be outdoors trees were waving like crazy like it was a hurricane or something like that. not of the buildings where i was didn't fall down and don't show too many signs of damage. massive damage at the epicenter but so far there's been little information out of that mountainous area. currently trying to dig through rubble to reach trapped survivors. help has gone out to the international community. many people are sleeping on the streets in the capital tonight because of the fear of more aftershocks. kathmandu's main airport reportedly has seen some damage but some flights have managed to get in. a number of historic buildings destroyed by the quake. this famous tower smashed. it's feared people were inside when it fell.
9:04 am
there have been chaotic scenes there as people search for survivors. and of course also looking now for those climbers that have been caught on mt. everest. >> all right, david, thank you very much. we're going to continue to follow that story as it develops. back in this country, there are some big questions surrounding the clinton foundation funs and hillary clinton's actions as secretary of state. one of the most anticipated books of the presidential cycle about to hit store shelves soon. it alleged mrs. clinton traded political ifr fas in exchange for donations and speaking fees. >> we're in the very beginning stages of this. clearly, any discussion of a criminal charge or investigation is speculative but there is a lot of speculation. the main question still revolves
9:05 am
around the difference between the mere appearance of favorable treatment for large donors to the clinton foundation and some type of illegal behavior. the new book coming out, clinton cash by peter switsher lays out a number of instances where it fell under the purview of secretary of state clinton. including the sale of an uranium mine to a russian-backed firm. >> there has been no evidence presented that suggests that somehow donations to the chinlinton foundation had any impact on the decisions made by clinton or anybody else in the state department. >> the clinton team -- there's not a shred of evidence. that's because all the evidence was shredded. also it sounds rather weird. instead of saying this is not true this didn't happen they're saying "show us the
9:06 am
evidence" and, you know, it's really hard to find. >> some experts say there's a possibility that either the justice department or maybe even congress could begin looking into these accusations. trying to see if there's any fire associated with what appears to be a lot of smoke and certainly a lot of money. uma. >> all right, thank you very much. joining us now for more on the fallout over the donations from foreign countries to the clinton foundation and the impact all this may have on the presidential campaign former chief of staff to president george h.w. bush along with being the former governor of new hampshire, john sinunu. the concerns are coming from the so-called vast right wing conspiracy. in fact news organizations like newsweek and the new york times saying it's time for her to offer an explanation. in fact "the new york times" editorial this week pointed out,
9:07 am
if we can put that on the screen that they really believe that she needs to come up with some answers. several points need to be addressed by mrs. clinton and the former president. these relate most importantly to the flow of multimillions in donation from foreigners and others to the foundation. how mrs. clinton dealt with conflicts and how she intends to guard against such conflicts should she win the white house. so the fact is this story isn't going away. and she's going to have to answer questions very soon. how do you see it? >> story's not going away and i think the most devastating part to the clintons is the tying in of huge speaking fees to president obama clinton. his fees went from about $150,000 before she came into the office of secretary of state. and they doubled or tripled after that. including some as high as
9:08 am
750,000. so this isn't money going to the foundation. this is money going into the clintons themselves. and when you tie all the dots together you see there's a relationship between contribution to the foundation considerations of issues within the state department and then these huge fees going into the clinton family themselves. they have to do more than just answer a couple questions. they've got to deal with what i think is the devastating set of accusations that create a problem for her candidacy. >> we're hearing a number of donors are getting anxious. we saw the clinton camp putting chelsea out front to defend the foundation. so instead of hillary, we have chelsea. yet, it still left the door open for more questions. >> well they've left the door open for more complications as well. because they still are going to allow six foreign countries to
9:09 am
contribute to the foundation. it looks like they're going to continue doing business as usual. i think they helped. they expected that the liberal media would cover them this time. but as you pointed out, "the new york times," "newsweek" and others are now part of the hunt and i think she's shocked at how many people are really beginning to ask these questions. >> you know mitt romney this week went so far as to say the foreign donations to the clinton foundation make it look like hillary clinton was, quote, bribed while she served as secretary of state with that russian deal and the sale of 20% of american's uranium production to russia covered up by these deals. would you agree or is that taking it too far? >> i'm not going to quibble on words. i am going to point out there's certainly a relationship that probably would be found if she had not erased her 30,000 e-mails and certainly tying in bill clinton's speech in moscow
9:10 am
the bank funding the uranium deal brings a lot of serious questions into the game. >> do you think the context of larger concerns about the clinton secrecy and the obama administration wanting her to use official government e-mail and she didn't do that. while the white house also demanding that the foundation disclosed donors while she serves as secretary of state. the foundation didn't comply with that request either. so what impact does this have on the general perception how she does business? >> it's beginning to affect her. the polls are beginning to show there's a movement in the population to feeling that there's a little level of untrustworthiness here. i think it's going to damage her campaign. the real question is whether the democratic party leadership is going to get concerned enough that they're going to start putting pressure on her behind the scenes to perhaps drop her candidacy. the fact that contributors are beginning to do that is sort of the canary in the coal mine kind
9:11 am
of indication. >> do you think as some critics do the only reason folks are done eighting to the clinton foundation is to buy access and influence? >> i think you're dealing with people around the world who are used to having situations like this set up in other countries and i think they just made a sumn assumption perhaps this was a good thing to do. >> is there a danger if they continue a nonstop bashing of hillary clinton like we saw last week at the summit in your own home state of new hampshire that it may backfire in the long run with voters who just really want to hear new ideas that these candidates want -- what they should be bringing to the table in order to move the country forward? >> the republican candidates are putting out new ideas. they're talking about how to make government smaller. they're trying to deal with the mess of obamacare. they're talking about rebuilding america's defense. they're talking about problems
9:12 am
in national security. they've pointed out the serious issues in countries like syria, iraq and so on across the globe. the disaster in yemen. and the republicans are talking about fixing those problems. frankly, every time they start talking about it somebody in the press asking them a question about hillary and of course they're obviously too happy to answer. >> so you think that -- >> they're very happy to answer. >> you think it doesn't look like they're piling on at this point? >> well i think the clintons are going to have to deal with this question not only through the primary but in the general. and they better start understanding that just waving the hands like they did in the past is not going to be sufficient. the media across the board is going to be part of this. >> governor, great to see you. so now i'd like to hear from you about the concerns over the money coming into the clinton foundation. is it time to large a formal
9:13 am
investigation? you can send me your tweets to @you'vea. make sure to watch our fox news special, the tangled clinton web today at 5:00 p.m. eastern right here on fox news. turning now to the republican hopefuls who are part of a very crowded field. news that marco rubio is jumping to the head of the pack. the florida senator with a slim lead over his possible rivals for the republican nomination. this weekend, he's courting caucus voters in the kickoff state of iowa along with many other republicans who are in the 2016 race. senior national correspondent john roberts is joining us now live from iowa. >> good afternoon. we are at the point of grace church which is a place where christian conservatives this
9:14 am
evening will get a chance to take the presidential candidates out for a spin. very important voting bloc here in iowa. in 2012 they represented 57% of republican caucusgoers. at least nine presidential candidates will be here today. including marco rubio. who as you said leads the pack. the voters here will be focusing on social issues more than anything. they'll be wanting to hear on issues like gay marriage religious freedoms immigration which morearco rubio still has some skepticism. one of the issues that the candidates are really focused on today is this controversy over hillary clinton, bill clinton and all of this cash. which was detailed in the fox news special tangled clinton web. i asked rubio for his thoughts on that. >> the allegation is that specific u.s. policy was
9:15 am
impacted by donations by a private foundation or speaking fees to her husband. if that's proven to be true it's a disqualifier. >> one of the candidates that's been very critical of hillary clinton all along is carly fiorina who's getting set to pull the trigger on a presidential run. she said she is very concerned about the apparent nexus between the clintons u.s. policy and foreign cash. >> this is really troubling. it's troubling because it says something fundamental about her transparency and her candor. it's troubling because it says something fundamental about her judgment. >> carly fiorina's getting set to pull the trigger on a presidential run on may 4th. the very next day, mike huckabee is expected to make a big announcement in hope arkansas about the only major candidate other than ben carson who's not going to be here is jeb bush. he's holding a big conference in miami this weekend bringing together a lot of supporters and
9:16 am
donors from across the country. some of the people told me they believe this will be the beginning of the countdown to jeb bush announcing a presidential run. still, probably wouldn't happen until the end of may or beginning of june. uma. >> very interesting, an crowded field indeed. good to see you, thank you very much. and now a little further west to las vegas. where at this hour the annual meeting of the republican jewish coalition is getting under way. white house hopeful senator cruz and former governor perry expected to also get intthe race. are speaking on the schedule. indiana governor as well. senator rob portman. will also be able to make their pitches to prominent donors there and to mega donors. the billionaire casino magnet who spent $100 million back on the 2012 campaign. and still ahead on america's news headquarters the fallout continues following a controversial u.s. drone attack
9:17 am
killing two hostages. we'll be checking in with general jack keen. while he once made headlines for the olympics now bruce jenner is making big news about lifelong secret. we'll tell you about his dramatic transformation and the impact it's having on his family. and a large part of the country coping with big storms and dangerous weather. janice dean keeping close watch on what we can expect. janice. >> a tornado watch, we've seen tornados this morning, that's going to continue not only today, tomorrow through monday and tuesday. so a four-day event. we will cover it next on "america's news headquarters." stay with us.
9:18 am

9:19 am
9:21 am
welcome back. isis claiming responsibility for three suicide car bombings today targeting a remote border crossing between iraq and jordan that killed at least three soldiers. this news a day after isis fighters attacked in fallujah. the deadly attacks arriving the same week we learned a battle against terrorism on another front cost the lives of two hostages. in january a u.s. drone attack in pakistan taking out two
9:22 am
al qaeda operatives. it also accidentally killed two hostages. is there any way to prevent this from happening again? fox news military analyst and retired four-star general keen joins us now. let's talk about the drone strikes and the impact this is having. now considered controversial because we have people killed in the process. when you talk about the situation, that's to be expected when you're going after targets that may have casualties. >> it's very frustrating. obviously, we've had two people killed. we had no intention of doing that kind of harm. we did not know they were there. one of them happens to be an american. the impact on their families and the impact on everybody that was involved in the operation. the analysis the people who actually plan the execution of it. the people that flew the mission, that controlled the drone itself. i mean that's a devastating
9:23 am
impact as well. they reflect strong american values. they're fighting a brutal enemy and we have to go after them and that's the truth of it. because we're human, we are going to make some mistakes. this is obviously a mistake that was made unintentional though it is. we use air strikes conventional weapons, to go after iraq and syria. we killed thousands of isis. i'm confident there's been a number of civilian casualties doing that as well. civilians being in the wrong place, wrong time that isis is there. they get mixed up. the nature of the war we're dealing with. >> the drone program still seen as controversial by some. here in washington. in fact the president in 2013 had this to say about it. let's listen.
9:24 am
>> before any strike is taken there must be near certainty no civilians will be killed orrin jured. the highest standard we can set. now, this last point is critical because much of the criticism about drone strikes, both here at home and abroad understandably centers on reports of civilian casualties. >> so we have the casualties. the president saying has to happen when you have a guarantee there's not going to be anybody killed. that's next to near impossible is it not? >> they surveilled from what i understand this target for many many many days. may actually have been a number of weeks. and they identified four people in this camp who they were confident were terrorists. that turns out to be the case. and that they didn't know that in the building where those terrorists were these two hostages were. they had no identification of that. i think they were fairly confident that's all that was
9:25 am
there. and surprised the other two were there. they'll go back and try to figure out if they missed something. as they certainly should. our viewing audience has to understand this drone program is crucial and one of the most successful programs we have encountering terrorists. it forced them to stop planning attacks against the united states and europe and franchise it out to the al qaeda who are in yemen and syria because of the pressure of this program. so its success is not disputed. can we do it any better and avoid making mistakes? i'll leave that up to the people involved in the program. we can't see the details of it. i'm not making any judgment about that. >> the strike also taking -- one of the strikes taking out a high-value target a terrorist. and the fact that news of his death should be seen as something of a victory, because he is someone who has been, you know very much involved in
9:26 am
planning attacks against western interests. why do you think it took so long to make that news public? i mean these strikes happened back in january. >> well we just can't walk up there and check out who the bodies are. they knew they buried six people and they were supposed to bury four. we have to find out who those people are. and i'm assuming we used, you know some informants to get that information and then aer is tation that they really are who we believe they may be. the two hostages. so i think it's very understandable why it took some time. i don't think there's any conspiracy here to hold on to this information and not let the families know when we know who trouly is there. i think that happened upon realization that we knew who the people were and i'm assuming, you know the president of the united states government officials release that information when they have it.
9:27 am
>> but they'll move forward with it? >> absolutely. the alternative, conventional air strikes? the likelihood of civilian casualties goes up considerably. direct mission on the ground to do that right? the pakistanis don't want us. you saw what happened when we went after bin laden. they're not going to let us do that on a regular routine basis. this is the best vehicle we have to go after these brutal and fanatical terrorists al qaeda. >> general, good to see you, they've very much for joining us. >> good talking to you. turning now to the weather, a big storm barreling through texas. that storm leaving a trail of damages across several cities. the severe weather is now set to strike the southeast where tornado watches are now in effect. janice dean following the forecast from the fox extreme weather center. >> we are watching the gulf
9:28 am
coast, in towards the southeast, as this storm system continues to move eastward. we have a tornado watch, as you mentioned, for parts of florida, up towards georgia and alabama. and i'm hoping -- okay let's zoom in and show you where the watch is in effect. 6:00 p.m. for new orleans. jazz fest going on in new orleans so people are urged to pay close attention to either your local weather stations of course. an then our tornado watch for parts of florida in towards georgia and alabama for the next hour or so. we're going to start to see these watches throughout the afternoon and the overnight. we have a severe thunderstorm warning west of new orleans. isolated tornadoes. we have a tornado warning that has just been posted south of valdosta valdosta florida. this is going to be ongoing through out the afternoon and into the evening. then we have another more
9:29 am
impressive event that's going to come out the rockies on sunday and monday. you can see that upper level low spinning across the rockies. that's one of the main ingredients we need. very cold air behind it. cold enough for snow across the rockies. and so our setup is going to be favorable. not only this weekend but monday into tuesday. there's the severe threat today with the enhanced risk across the ohio and tennessee river valley. up towards the carolinas. and then tomorrow the new system out of the rockies. oklahoma texas, dallas here. the threat continues into monday and tuesday. so we're ripe for severe weather. taking a look at your highs today. cold air across the west. very warm unstable air ahead of it. that's one of the main ingredients we need for severe weather. we're going to be tracking it throughout the day. >> mother nature firing it up. all right, janice thank you very much. there's much more ahead on "america's news headquarters," including a stunning
9:30 am
announcement from olympic champion bruce jenner about the secret that has ruled his life and what he has planned for the future next. plus a little later on it's a girl times five. we're going to talk to the proud parents of the first set of female quintuplets ever born in the u.s. how do crest 3d white whitestrips compare to a whitening toothpaste? let's see! the paste didn't seem to do much for me. the whitestrips made a huge difference.
9:31 am
but that's not fair. ha-ha. crest whitestrips work below the enamel surface to whiten 25x better than a leading whitening toothpaste. crest whitestrips, the way to whiten. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com.
9:34 am
now, back to this fox news alert. an update on the devastating earthquake hitting nepal and spreading out across four other countries. the death toll now stands at more than 1100. the vast majority of those deaths taking place in nepal. rescue crews racing to the site to help dig out survivors. we're going to have a live report from kathmandu coming up at the top of the hour.
9:35 am
back here at home a popular gps app used by drivers to avoid traffic jams and accidents on the roadways causing big-time concerns about the safety of our police officers. the google-owned app ways shows that not only where accidents and stalled cars are creating backups but also where police are located in real time. with ambush attacks against officers on the rise some in law enforcement are saying this app is putting the lives of our men and women in blue in danger right now. ways owned by google responds by saying some embrace the app and only provides a rough location of officers with who are spotted but does not track them. milwaukee county sheriff david clark disagrees and he joins us now. welcome, great to have you on the program today. >> thank you, uma. >> i know you and others have been highly critical of this app
9:36 am
because you believe this is setting up for future ambush attacks against our officers and you'd like that portion of the app deleted and you want the company to do something about it. >> anybody who knows me knows i'm not going away on this. think there's a compromise here. all we're asking is for google officials to sit down with us so we can be heard. i think google has a moral and ethical obligation when someone brings to their attention some safety hazard with a product that they have put out to sit down and just have the discussion. initially, they agreed to meet with law enforcement officials over this concern. and then they canceled it and now they won't even return our phone calls. it's not the total app, just one aspect. if the guy who ambushed two of new york's finest officers lew and ramos, god rest their soul that creep used this ways app to identify and pinpoint the
9:37 am
location of law enforcement officers. he bragged about it. if you're trying to evade an amber alert. if you've abducted a child, if you've abducted a woman, and you're trying to get away you can use this app to locate and navigate through that. it puts us at a huge tactical disadvantage when we're trying to locate those individuals. because i think the app does have very useful for the motoring public but there's no reason they need to have the rough location of law enforcement. that's of no use to the motoring public. >> you have direct evidence linking the suspect who killed those two police officers in new york who actually used this device to track them? >> he bragged on his -- i'm association he bragged on his social media that he used that ways app to identify the location of officers. i'm not saying it was directly involved in him locating officers ramos and lew but he along with some others and other
9:38 am
ambush attacks have indicated there's evidence to suggest he used that to pinpoint the location of officers. that's an officer safety hazard. also a public safety. the amber alert as an example of where the public is. all we're asking is google sit down with us. and have the discussion. >> when you have -- >> but for them to blow us off -- i've never in my 37 years had some corporation just totally blow off law enforcement. >> they're not giving you any reason why they're avoid meeting with you? >> no they scheduled the initial meeting, agreed to meet then canceled, didn't give indication and now they won't return our phone calls. >> you're a big critic of this program. the company says some law enforcement agencies are
9:39 am
embracing this technology. how do you respond to that? >> we embrace the technology. if it can help people avoid traffic congestion to navigate around construction sites. that helps me and my deputies on the freeway system. it helps with traffic logjams. but that's not what law enforcement is critical about. as it relates to this app. it's the globalsitioning of law enforcement that's a concern. law enforcement does not embrace that aspect of the global positioning of where our law enforcement officers are. >> it's really disconcerting knowing that officer's lives are in real jeopardy if some deadbeat wants to go out there and target officer using this technology. >> that's a concern here and i know we can reach some compromise. i'll accept whatever decision in
9:40 am
the end google decides on. but at least let us be heard. i'm sure we can convince them. maybe they don't see the whole thing like we see it from law enforcement. but i'm sure that we can come to a compromise. if they'd just come to the table. that's all we're asking at this point. no one in law enforcement is asking them to take this app down. >> all right, we're going to follow the story and i hope you keep us posted. thank you so much for joining us today. >> it's my pleasure. turning now to other news. he was a symbol of american masculinity in the 1970s. as an olympic champion. now bruce jenner making headlines for his desire to be a woman. ending weeks of speculation. jenner now coming out as transgender. during an interview with abc's diane sawyer the olympian and reality tv star says he's a woman in a man's body. a secret that he's kept since he was a young boy. >> for all intents and purposes i am a woman.
9:41 am
my whole life has prepared me for this moment. so i want to take advantage of it. and i want to do the right thing. and be true to myself. >> as for his family jenner says his ten children and stepchildren have been largely supportive of his decision and that he's told them that he can still -- they can still call him dad. still to come talk about that sinking feeling. a $1 million dream home drawing looky looks but not for the reason you think. and there's not a lot of sleep happening in this household but there's sure a lot of smiles. you're going to meet the first set of quinn it uptup you're going to meet the first set of quinn it uptuplets born in the u.s. and their parents.
9:42 am
the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees.

9:48 am
reaction the moment you realized you were going to have five babies? >> i laughed. i really did. i was like this is a joke right? i mean this isn't it happen to just us normal little busbyes here. i didn't cry at first. i literally could not stop laughing. because i just thought, like this is -- this just doesn't happen to me. but it took me a couple days then it hit me. then i cried. like is this really happening? how is this going to work? how's my body going to do this. but it all worked out. >> the two of you, adam the two of you are really each other's best friend and you're going to be real great partners but it's going to take a lot work and a lot of planning. because certainly this is going to be one big roller coaster ride for your family. >> oh yes. yes. we're still trying to figure it all out. the babies are going to be in the hospital for another five weeks or so at least.

10:00 am
fast as i could to a state barrier. back at home a new, inexpensive test kit that could herald the arrival of a new chapter in medicine and save lives. thousands of young women worried about breast and ovarian cancer. and more than 100 wounded warriors matching on washington. on a healing mission. we'll tell you all about it. hello, everybody, i'm uma pemmaraju, and welcome to this second hour of america's news headquarters which starts right now. but first, more on our fox news alert about that powerful earthquake hitting nepal this morning causing more than 1,000 deaths crumbling historic monument and shaking base camp at mt. everest. the 7.8 magnitude quake could be felt in four additional countries. joining us on the phone from kathmandu is a grn reporter who
10:01 am
is joining us with an update of what is happening at this hour. thank you for joining us. tell us what you are experiencing and seeing there in kathmandu at this hour. >> well it's almost 10:00 -- it's 10:30 at night here so people i think -- most people are outside their houses, like camped outside their houses under makeshift shelters because there's still a lot of fear and terror that a larger quake might hit, we've been experiencing aftermaths and tremors just within the last hour. i've already experienced two. earlier on in the evening i was at one of the major hospitals of kathmandu, and it was quite, you know chaotic because there were more patients or more people coming in that the hospital actually has the capacity. the emergency was overflowing with serious cases, but what i saw outside was, like, makeshift, you know, immediate emergency service centers being set up people giving saline drips, people beinged a ministered first aid because there's no place inside. i saw a gentleman with a broken
10:02 am
back who was lying on a tarpaulin sheet, you know, plastic sheet on the ground because there weren't enough beds. i think he had to be moved to another hospital because there was not enough room. a lady was brought in her baby was brought in because the house they were in with another group of people there were some prayers going on had collapsed. they were among the fortunate ones to be pulled out, but she was saying she had no idea how many were still trapped inside so it's still very difficult to say. i mean the toll is rising and i think authorities, the public everyone is still taking stock of the severity -- you know, of the seriousness, the severity, of what has happened. >> how would you say the emergency response in and of itself is being handled at this time? i know you talked about the fact that hospitals are overcrowded at this point, but in terms of taking care of those survivors, getting food and water and blankets to people who may be in need how do you respond -- how are you -- what's the response been like? >> i think it's been an extreme
10:03 am
challenge. it's extremely challenging for the government for the health authorities, for the public because the magnitude of this earthquake was not expected. although nepal does fall on a seismic zone and we've experienced quakes in the past. but when i was in the hospital people were worried about the patients there, the extra number of patients we need water, we need food. we need blankets. and i met a member of parliament who was visiting and he was basically kind of admitting that yeah i mean there -- there is very little presence of the government at the moment, you know in the hospital. i think volunteers were just coming in. young people pouring in just trying to help. do whatever little they could do. and people are probably not -- one person told me that she would probably be going home. she would rather spend that day or night in the hospital helping out there. also it would be safer for her than going back inside a house. >> it's obviously a chaotic and overwhelming situation. as i understand it a number of
10:04 am
temples and other sacred sites were affected as well? >> yes. kathmandu has i think seven or eight world heritage sites and quite a few of them have been affected seriously damaged. you know i mean there are pictures on facebook and of them being completely demolished. these are, like, hundreds of years old, you know, monuments and one major monument a landmark in kathmandu, it's, like a huge tower. you can see from all around the valley. that has totally collapsed. even many years ago when there was a major earthquake that landmark building had, you know, kind of -- was destroyed, a bit of it but now it's completely razed and a few people died sightseers tourists, inside that landmark have died. have been reported dead. >> it's unbelievable. we're taking a look at the image and a shot there from everest
10:05 am
base camp because as i understand it avalanches were triggered there at that site where a number of climbers are tending time before they make the trek up mt. everest. >> uh-huh. yes. there should be about 300 climbers in -- at the everest region this time because it's the major spring climbing season. i did earlier speak to a representative of the tourism ministry and he did confirm that yes, you know, of several people had died and rescue operations had been made difficult due to the weather, you know it's kind of cloudy, windy. so, had been made difficult. >> yeah. a lot of those climbers are people from around the world including a number that come from the united states. so i know this is a very tough situation for all involved and for you there trying to report on this story. please keep us updated. a very devastating and difficult situation as we continue to report on the breaking news. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you.
10:06 am
we're talking about uranium. we're talking about things that relate to the nuclear industry. we're talking about the russian government which already provides equipment materiel to iran. >> that's correct. >> the clinton foundation was receiving tens of millions of dollars from shareholders in uranium one who wanted the russian government to acquire them because it would be a financial landfall. >> well this story tied to russia just one of the big allegations an author is making against hillary clinton, in a new book clinton cash it's one of many likely challenges the clinton camp will be facing this upcoming political season. sara westwood has been following
10:07 am
thor to verye story very closely. you've been following it for a while. from what you've been able to determine what's been the most unusual fact you've come across so far? >> certainly everything has sort of dribbled out slowly over time. but the uranium deal with the russians in which executives from a company that took over a fifth of america's uranium deposits funded money to the clinton foundation and paid bill clinton to appear at a speech in moscow really pokes a hole in, like hillary clinton's credibility. it raises questions whether or not her impartiality could maintain if she were president. >> apparently a number of other u.s. agencies signed off on this deal with the clinton camp saying that mrs. clinton did not know about this. the other agencies are who? >> it's a committee that comes together to approve strategic resource deals like this obviously uranium is a material that's used in nuclear weapons,
10:08 am
so it's one of these high-profile deals that needs high-level approval. a lot of time the clinton allies will come out and deny, you know involvement. but there's so much circumstantial evidence that we have to consider the big picture of there's so much preferential treatment that were given to entities that were generous donors to the foundation that we can't ignore this based on this plausible deniability. >> is your conclusion from the reporting that those who made donations are really looking to buy access? >> that is certainly what the pattern suggests. we don't have a smoking gun. in peter schweitzer's new book there's likely there won't be one piece of evidence that nails them to the wall but it's such a convincing and repetitive pattern over time that shows these entities were given preference that we do have to ask questions do we want this sort of cloud to surround our commander in chief because the foundation's not going anywhere. >> and certainly no quid pro quo
10:09 am
has been established at this point in terms of a direct link to mrs. clinton, but at the same time we have a fox news poll if we could put it up there on the screen for our viewers to see, that shows that she in terms of honestworthy you can take a look at the numbers, 45% yes, 54% no. you can see in the public eye at least this story has some legs. it's not going to go away anytime soon and she can't just claim that the right wing media that's going after her because you do have others like "the new york times," reuters and "newsweek" all probing into this and looking for answers. absolutely. and the poll numbers are showing the public didn't exactly trust her before even before the stories started to break. normally when you see candidates announce their run for president you get a boost in popularity. but that hasn't happened with hillary clinton all of the business with the e-mails with the clinton foundation donors has overshadowed what was supposed to be a smooth low-key
10:10 am
launch. >> do you think if server was made available and if those e-mails had not been erased we'd have more answers to a lot of the questions that one could document more of what happened? >> it's really impossible to know but we would certainly get more of a window in to how involved her and her aides were in soliciting those donations, in orchestrating deals that benefitted donors so that's something that we wish we knew but it's unlikely that we'll ever get access to those e-mails. >> where do you think the story goes from here? >> we will certainly keep looking in to these donors. we'll have to look at how policy that came out of the state department during her tenure affected those donors. a lot of times you're seeing it in a positive way, but it's important that the media doesn't let it fizzle out. that's probably the clintons' hope that's how they've weathered other scandals in the past and call it old news and defame their detractors and then let it move on.
10:11 am
so as long as we don't get substantial answers, then it will likely continue to be a story. >> the allegations are very disturbing and it looks as though she -- i mean to me it seems it would make total sense for her to actually come out and address because the longer she stays away the more speculation that surrounds her, and the concerns that maybe she has something to hide. >> you're absolutely right. she could put a lot of this to bed if she just came out and addressed these allegations and assured people that there was no quid pro quo involved. you're not seeing that happening and that is adding fuel to the fire because why would she dodge these questions if there is a simple innocent explanation, that's something that people will want to hear from the candidate. >> all right. i know you're going to be following this closely in the days ahead. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. and now we are asking to hear from you. is it time to launch a formal investigation in to the money coming from foreign donors to the clinton foundation? you can send me your tweets to @umapemmaraju and we'll definitely read some of your

responses a little later on in our show. and a programming note be sure to watch "fox news sunday" chris wallace will be sitting down with peter schweitzer author of the new bombshell book "clinton cash" you can check your local listings for the time. well there goes a saying what goes in vegas stays in vegas. well that may or may not be the case this weekend as the leaders of the republican jewish coalition hold their annual spring meeting. now, the event is attracting some gop presidential hopefuls including texas senator ted cruz as well as south carolina senator lindsey graham along with former texas governor rick perry. possible contenders will get to make their pitch to prominent donors and to megadonor sheldon adelson the billionaire casino magnate who spent $100 million on the 2012 campaign. a labor dispute once again threatening to disrupt business at some west coast ports making news right now. union officials saying truck drivers are set to vote this

welcome back everybody. a cargo ship filled with trash undocking from the international space station this morning. the spacecraft unhooked from the station and moved to a nearby location. the ship will be sent back to earth tomorrow where it will burn up over the pacific ocean while reentering the atmosphere. a new russian cargo ship bound for the international space station is set to launch from kazakhstan on tuesday. the secretary-general of the united nations appointing a special envoy to yemen. more than 1,000 people have been killed there in recent weeks after iranian-backed shiite rebels swept through the country. just this week an iranian naval convoy believed to be delivering weapons to yemen's huthi rebels
10:19 am
turned back. former navy captain and fox news military analyst chuck nash joins us. thank you for being here. >> nice to be here. >> let's talk about what took place over the last few days. the fact that the iranians were sending their ships to that region prompted all kinds of action not just from the u.s. but from other countries as well. >> yeah. i think the way that played out that once the united states determined that most of those ships were supply ships and that they were probably carrying weapons, we decided to essentially push all the chips on the table and say, that's not going to happen and soos we detached the cruiser and the aircraft carrier to go down into that same area that was a game-changing maneuver. we probably behind the scenes told the iranians and told them don't do it the last time you tried something like this it was called operation praying mantis
10:20 am
in the gulf and the they lost their navy. the u.s. navy destroyed it. we were probably willing to escalate to that point, too, because had we not, quite frankly, been willing to escalate to that point after putting those forces on scene we might as well just pack up and go home from the middle east because if you're not going to stop a couple of iranian cargo ships smuggling weapons into a hot war zone with all of that force structure, then you shouldn't be there. >> you have a map showing me here. >> yeah. >> of all types of, you know other carriers there in the region there to take -- you know to protect their people, you know from a number of other nations. it's one of the most protected areas right now. >> yeah there's so much metal floating off the red sea and the gulf of aden coast of yemen that has probably changed where magnetic north is. i mean it's -- it's really impressive when you put it all on one page and look at it. so it's not just the united states that's involved in this.
10:21 am
you've got saudi arabia leading a full coalition not only of gulf partners but the egyptians are in this. the indians have run non-combatant evacuation actions to pull their citizens out and the u.s. has told its citizens who are there just shelter in place and hunker down until this is all over. so the u.s. has a decided reason to try to bring this fighting to an end but when you look at who's on the ground they're not only fighting the government of president hadi who is in exile in saudi arabia but they're fighting among each other, these rebel groups. and now you've got isis moving in alongside of aqap which that's not really helping things so the houthi control about half the country. the rest of it is scattered and the real danger is that we lose the ports in aden that's a major port facility. >> if you lose that it's over. it's crazy. >> then the houthi are going to control the whole western half of the country from the saudi border all of the way to the gulf of aden yes.
10:22 am
>> the actions that have taken over the last month or so fascinating how the saudis are responding to this and the fact that they are trying to get their partners together on their own to say we need to take action whatever the u.s. does final, but we don't really see them as a viable partner at this point so we need to take matters in our own hands. >> and i think they did that uma, because of a realization that the united states is so determined to get a deal with iran that the saudis now are seeing that perhaps the united states is backing away from its traditional allies in the gulf region and maybe shifting ali allegiances more toward recognition of iranian supremacy and that's why the saudis are in very deep conversations with the pakistanis and they're -- the pakistanis have troops in saudi arabia. they're very tight allies. and, of course pakistan is a nuclear power. >> absolutely. and the fact is i mean that these countries at this moment don't feel that the u.s. has their back and the fact that they have to develop their own
10:23 am
alliances and move forward in the best way they know how to safeguard their interests there. >> yeah. no matter what happens, they're going to stay in the neighborhood. jeeography will dictate that but we might go. >> fighting taking place now, how do you see it playing out over the next several weeks? >> i think the saudis are trying to move and they said they're moving away from what they called operation decisive storm to operation restoring hope the three goals of which are to restore legitimacy protect the population and prevent the houthis from taking the port of aden. so they're looking for a political solution to this the saudis are. the question is with all of the groups running around that are getting iranian support, plus the real real bad guys in the region which al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and isis those are the two really bad guys. so if they can't get some
10:24 am
agreement between the -- we'll call them the rebel forces and the government forces and then negotiate that you're really going to be in about a five-way negotiation. i don't hold out much hope for that. >> wow. stakes are very very high in this one, absolutely. always great to have you on board. thank you for joining me today. >> pleasure. coming up was it a quid pro quo? hillary clinton under fire for allegations that she handed out political favors to foreign investors who donated to the clinton foundation. will this hurt her white house bid? our political panel will be weighing in. plus wily coyotes, these creatures are leaving the countryside for the big city. we are following that story. brian? >> reporter: uma, that's right, wild coyotes in the streets of downtown new york city leading to wild police chases and, no we're not talking about the cartoon here people. more on the wild sightings including one that happened

welcome back everybody, to the fox news alert and the continuing update on the breaking news over that devastating earthquake hitting nipaul and spreading out across three more countries in the region. the death toll now rising to more than 1,100 people and those numbers, though, sadly are expected to rise in the coming days. the magnitude 7.8 quake the worst to hit nepal in eight decades. rescue crews racing there to help dig out survivors. initial relief efforts are stymied by the shutting down of the kathmandu airport. we're going to continue to follow this story and bring you updates as they become available. whether it is e-mails or whether it is the issues with
10:30 am
russia with kazakhstan with haiti, yes, the clintons need to be very forthcoming. they are asking the american people to once again put their trust in them to occupy the white house and for hillary clinton to be the leader of the free world. >> there's nothing we can do that there isn't going to be somebody who politically is going to look askance no matter what they do so let's start from -- remember white water, remember the independent council, remember $60 million ending up with nothing? >> what i'm impressed by is the brazenness of this, though. the clintons knew all this. they knew she'd be running again. they wanted to get back to the white house, you know, and they do this knowing they are walking right up to the line. see, what they know is it could be almost impossible to prove -- to meet the legal standard which is a real quid pro quo. but when you burn the tapes, when you eliminate the e-mails, and what are possibly the
10:31 am
evidence is you feel pretty comfortable that they're not going to find anything of that sort. >> comments there from marsha blackburn in congress to clinton supporter lenny davis and charles krauthammer on the political fallout this weekend. will this hurt her 2016 aspirations? brad blakeman a former senior adviser to president george w. bush and garland nixon a popular radio talk show host are both joining us now here to debate this issue. gentlemen, welcome, great to have you here. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> even if they don't find a direct quid pro quo the allegations that are surfacing now are quite substantial and a fact that a number of news organizations are covering this story. does the perception at least in part hurt mrs. clinton's campaign at this point? >> i don't really think it does. i think right now the perception of many people particularly the clinton supporters is that there have been a steady stream
10:32 am
of allegations against -- against secretary clinton and that they have been, you know mistaking causation with association. well this happened and then that happened so this must be the reason that it happened but we never come up with any. there's a never there there. there's always the unsubstantiated accusations and i think that's what this falls into and i think most people are kind of sitting back and saying that's this month's unsubstantiated accoupucusation what will it be next month? >> isn't it a pattern with the clintons that we hear every month, whether it's the allegations raised by this book the missing e-mails, the fact that the white house wanted mrs. clinton to report any donors to the clinton foundation as they were coming forward, the fact that they did not do that things like this builds up over time and create a negative perception. >> they do. and appearance becomes reality. and the fact that there isn't any direct evidence yet doesn't mean that direct evidence will not come.
10:33 am
the clintons are the ones in control of the evidence that could either clear them or damn them. the e-mails that were erased. the shoddy record keeping. the fact now they have to redo their taxes for millions of dollars of donations to the clinton foundation that were not reported these are self-inflicted wounds. this isn't a right wing conspiracy. we didn't erase the e-mails. we didn't control the contributions. we didn't give the appearance republicans, of wrongdoing. the clintons did it to themselves. they can clear themselves in a heartbeat. they choose not to. and their strategy is catch us if you can. we caught them before in the president having to fess up to when he lied under oath and became disbarred. that wasn't a right wing conspiracy. that was bill clinton doing it to himself and, again if perception is reality, the reality is there's evidence -- circumstancetially of possible wrongdoing that's enough i think to make hillary clinton radioactive. >> shouldn't mrs. clinton come out now and speak to the reporters about these
10:34 am
10:36 am
10:39 am
10:40 am
welcome back. and now to a great story about tenacity true grit and overcoming challenging odds we're talking about two new york seniors who have hit the big time with all the major ivy league universities inviting them to come aboard and join their campuses. these remarkable teenagers recently shared what they believe it takes to succeed. >> it's so great to see you today, thank you for joining us. you know what's so wonderful about the two of you is that you both have overcome some incredible odds to get to where you are today. and yet in spite of that your determination to succeed, your determination to move forward with your education is quite remarkable. so harold for you, what has
10:41 am
been your inspiration over the years in order for you to stay focused and to stay successful? >> for me certainly i'd say it's the example that my parents set us. i was born and raised in nigeria and i came to america when i was 8 years old. and i remember kind of struggling to adapt to a new environment and, you know, addressing everything but i remember seeing my parents setting a very tenacious example for me and my four brothers they gave us the example that you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it i think that's what really motivates me and i always ask my parents why we came to america, why we uprooted our family and they always say it is simply because of the opportunity afforded to me and my three brothers. and that's ultimately been my motivating factor throughout all my experiences. >> and dara for you you've always been a very good student, even when mother nature stepped in and caused some problems for your life and your family during the hurricane, hurricane sandy,
10:42 am
you managed to stay focused and didn't let those circumstances deter you from your dreams. >> yeah. no i definitely went through some hard times and hurricane sandy moving my house was absolutely devastating. but like harold said my parents have been such a driving force in my life and my mom would always tell me that the situation is temporary and things are just things and stuff is just stuff, but what's important is health education and family and those are going to be there for you. and i'm so grateful that everyone supported me and helped me get where i am today. >> and, harold for you, what's the secret of your success? i know you talk about your parents, but ultimately it's up to you to make the dreams come true and to stay focused and steady, so for you personally what's been the secret to your inner strength and success? >> i think for me personally my key to success is tenacity, resolve and really hard work dedication, prayer and, you know being faithful and really finding something you're passionate about and sticking
10:43 am
with it and, you know, always persevering despite the circumstances. >> so as i understand it passion for you means becoming a neurosurgeon? >> yes. >> that's your goal? and dara for you, what are your goals? what do you hope to accomplish? >> i really love politics so political science, i want to major in and minor in russian literature. so i definitely want to go into the public sector and work and just try to help and give back to the government and just work with others. >> you think it's important to give back to your community? >> yeah, definitely. >> and with you -- if you had some advice for young people out there, what would it be in terms of making sure you follow your dreams and stay focused in school harold? >> i'd say to find something you're passionate about and stick with it throughout high school. once you find that thing you're passionate about, you kind of have that focus and you kind of have to narrow your focus in your approach to high school because in high school there are
10:44 am

talking about coyotes instead who are roaming around the big apple. rescue crews are racing to dig out survivors -- to help some of these people and we'll tell you more about it. bryan? >> reporter: hi, uma, that's right there have been five sightings this year so far of wild coyotes in new york city and people are concerned about these unusual sightings though experts say they should start getting used to living with the coyotes. just this morning actually at about 7:30 a coyote led police on a wild chase throughout battery park city here in downtown. cops walking in cars before cornering it in the outdoor seating area of a local cafe. here's the mug shot of the captured fugitive. the coyote was darted not hurt and taken to the local animal care and control center where it will then be released into the wild at some point. the coyote sighting, though, has local residents including small dog owners like barry amato who witnessed this morning's chase

concerned. >> totally going to be more careful. absolutely be more careful. totally be on my guard. i come out the back way, and god forbid you know, he would have been dessert for my little guy. >> reporter: this is the latest in a recent coyote invasion. on thursday morning a wild coyote in the upper west side along riverside park caused a full nypd search including a helicopter. it got away. unsure if it's the coyote that was caught today, though. last week a coyote was caught in the courtyard of a building in the chelsea neighborhood.neighborhood. another coyote was also spotted on top of a roof of a bar in queens new york. two men in new jersey were bit by two coyotes infected with rabies. experts say the growing number of coyotes in parks particularly in the bronx is forcing younger coyotes to head south into manhattan in search of new territory and food.

>> very adaptable and are generally so. they can do really well in human dominated landscapes. >> reporter: that's exactly right. coyotes are actually living in detroit, in san francisco and even in chicago, where there's more than 2,000 thriving within the city. they say coyotes usually avoid people and pets. be safe out there when walking your pets at night. secure your trash and be smart. bottom line is new yorkers and everyone else better get used to living with these guys. >> better get used to living alongside the coyotes. i don't know how many new yorkers will take to that one. that's dicey. thank you very much. well a silicon valley startup has come up with a new genetic test for breast and ovarian cancer that could help save the lives of millions of

women. it tests your saliva for 19 genes including two specific ones. is this the future of diagnostic medicine? joining us to talk more about this dr. deborah limner chief medical officer for bright pink a nonprofit organization focused on prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women. she herself has actually tested positive for the breast cancer gene and actually underwent a double mastectomy as a preventive measure. she is joining us now. welcome. great to have you here. >> thank you so much. >> a lot of people are saying this really is breakthrough technology in that if women are open to using this kit, they really could be working to save their lives because it is a safe way to go about detection and people can avoid using those machines that are used for
10:53 am
mammograms. >> you know it's an incredibly powerful tool when women are high risk because they carry a mutation for this gene. their risk of breast cancer is up to 87% and the risk of ovarian cancer is up to 54%. so knowing this information can really give women the ability to make decisions that can lower their risk of both breast and ovarian cancer. >> tell us more about this kit that people using now as another way to test for breast cancer. >> sure. historically we have always done genetic testing through a physician's office or genetic counseling office. it typically has required either a blood draw or saliva test that has been sent in by the physician and the patient comes back to receive the results several weeks later. the interesting thing about this test is that it's a saliva kit that a patient can do in the comfort of their own home so patients really are going to have more access to this but i think even more than the technicalities of how to do the

test the really incredible thing about this is that the test is $249. testing for this panel of genes typically costs $3,000 to $4,000 depending on the lab that's used. so it's just incredible to be able to offer patients access to knowledge about their genetic makeup at such a low cost. >> such a low cost indeed. how reliable are these tests in terms of accuracy? because if for example someone comes back with a positive result that person may actually panic and be very concerned and automatically decide oh, my gosh i have breast cancer and leap to conclusions. don't you need to have the support of doctors and also be dealing with a doctor who is actually overseeing your care? >> absolutely. it's incredibly important to do that. i think that this company has been doing a very responsible job of ensuring that patients who do this test have an order from a physician and then either have genetic counseling or are offered genetic counseling free
10:55 am
of charge from the company. that's an incredibly important piece because certainly there are positive and negative results for this test but about 3% to 4% of women will come back with a variance of undetermined significance which means we don't know how high their risk is. we don't know if they truly carry the gene. so for those women, there's a real need to have genetic counseling available to understand what they should do. >> all right. this sounds like a great way, alternative for women to move forward with this type of testing. i'm out of time but i appreciate you joining us today. thank you so much. >> thank you so much. still to come we asked and you answered. your twitter responses after the break. why are you deleting these photos? because my teeth are yellow. why don't you use a
