1:01 pm
tornados. coming up we'll find out what some of these storms could be headed next. we begin with a fox news alert, a quake so big, it shook mt. everest. now the united states is sending a disaster response team and one million dollars in aid, already, reports of more than 1,000 people dead and that figure is expected to rise. the quake struck just outside of nepal's capital of kathmandu earlier today. around noon local time. with tremors felt across the region in india, bangladesh, and tebet. the quake so powerful it levelled centuries old structures like this buddhist temple one of nepal's holiest places. here you can see the before and the after. the devastation reaching across four countries in central asia. the quake also triggered several avenue lampbls on mt. everest at
1:02 pm
a time when dozens are making their way to the top. google exec dan friedenburg, and our next guest knows how dangerous that can be. mike is here he has climbed mt. everest and also run the business in nepal when which he says suffered extensive damage in the quake. mike so good to have you here. so much to talk about. you just mentioned to me that you just got off the phone recently in nepal. >> they've been kicked out of power, but they're still there. the devastation as you correctly pointed out has been terrible far worse than expected and as far as i'm concerned, far more devastating than initial reports. >> what did they tell you? >> that most of the seven world heritage sites are totally destroyed. which is devastating for a country that relies on tourism because now one of the reason why is tourists go to nepal no longer exists. everest as you know last year saw 16 people die off an avalanche, now another 18 because of an avalanche. we think there may be more.
1:03 pm
i was in touch earlier with the mayor of the base camp it's just very bad for a country that has an average yearly income per capita of $500. >> most of the people there, the locals they work in agriculture, corn is a big crop there, right? >> that's correct. and their homes are the dwellings are in very poor shape. built, three, 400 years ago with mud and brix and don't withstand earthquakes. >> we're looking at pictures of the devastation, and you have been there, you own a business there. and we're going to talk about that momentarily. considering the pictures we're looking at you mention the infrastructure there is very poor how difficult will it be for the rescue crews to get to the areas that sustained the most damage? >> well that's the biggest problem. right now as far as i understand the earthquake has destroyed the fire hall and buried the fire trucks beneath it. and there's only been five fire trucks in kathmandu. five fire trucks with five million people they're now gone.
1:04 pm
>> talk to me about the fire truck expedition. >> well because there are, or were only five fire trucks and 25 and 50 years old. the fire chief asked me if i could procure more equipment and so together with friends, including the former u.s. ambassador to nepal, actor malcolm mcdonald, i was launching a fire truck expedition just months before this happened today. and we were planning or are planning to set off in december to deliver american-made fire engines to kathmandu. whether we can get there with the roads destroyed, we don't know. >> you own a factory there. >> yes. >> and what kind of factory it was? you're a watch-maker. >> i am i started a watch business in the state ts 18 years ago, and because my wife was saved on mt. everest by two shir pas. we adopted them. they're adults, but we brought them to america for a year taught them how to make mechanical watches sent them back to kathmandu and opened a factory there. the factory used to be in a
1:05 pm
beautiful, 250-year-old structure. it's now destroyed. the homes that the sherpa is are destroyed and we don't know where one of the families is. we're hopeful we will find them but we don't know. >> before we go i was reading the intro to the story and giving the facts as we have them now. you sort of shook your entire body as to shake it off. how does it affect you emotionally? >> well i've been on the road since this morning, i live on a farm in pennsylvania. i don't have a tv never had one. i didn't see any of the devastation until i showed up at your studio. i didn't see any of the pictures or the footage. and it's quite awful. it was shocking. very emotional moment. >> very emotional. i can see it in your eyes i feel it in your presence next to me. i hope that they can find your missing employees. and best of luck to you and all of the people that i believe you have adopted. >> thank you. >> thank you.
1:06 pm

1:07 pm
parts of the ohio valley and the southeast bracing for a series of dangerous storms. forecasters are calling for possible severe winds, tornados and more of this. large and noisy hail this is what it looks like in wichita, kansas. meteorologists janice dean live from the fox extreme weather center. you are a busy bee, young lady. >> yeah and it's going to continue not only today, but through sunday and then another round of potential severe weather as we get into the new workweek. let's get to it again this is springtime this is typically when we see the hail damaging winds, and tornados. and these are the areas that we typically look for the severe storms. so until 6:00 p.m. local time for new orleans, parts of alabama, and then georgia, we have a new thunderstorm watch in effect until 11:00 p.m. local time. then our tornado watch across the ohio valley until 8:00 p.m. local time. zooming in here we did have some severe storms moving through new orleans, east of
1:08 pm
that that's where we're starting to see the possibly for severe storms erupting with hail damaging winds, isolated tornados good news is we don't have any tornado warnings just a couple of severe thunderstorm warnings. but we can't rule out some rotation with the cells. be cautious. and again, across the ohio and tennessee river valley overnight tonight, we have to be on the lookout. future radar will show this system moving eastward then our next weather system diving across the rockies, bringing the potential for over two feet of snow for the rockies. so there's our cold air aloft that we need for these severe thunderstorms. man, spring skiing for the colorado rockies. the rainfall excessive for parts of the southern plains houston area east of that oklahoma city upwards of six inches of rainfall over the next couple of days. that's going to be dangerous. there's our severe threat again going into the overnight, our new system moving into the southern plains the threat for severe weather on sunday and that will continue on monday
1:09 pm
arthel this is typically when we see the severe storms. we want to be aware, back to you. >> thank you so much. >> okay. protests are under way in baltimore after the daily demonstrations this week over the death of an african american man in police custody. today the crowds have been growing throughout the day, you're taking a live look there at downtown baltimore from our affiliate wjz. protesters are vowing in their words to shut the city down. until they say they get answers about what exactly happened to 25-year-old freddie gray. gray suffered a severe spinal injury while he was in police custody, and then he died days later in the hospital. police admitted yesterday they did fail to provide gray the medical attention that he needed after his arrest. >> i walked the entire route yesterday. it's a foot chase that's not a short one, it goes through several streets, several housing complexes, and eventually ends up along the 1700 block of
1:10 pm
pressberry and that's where the apprehension of freddie gray occurred. and quite frankly, that's exactly where freddie gray should have received medical attention. >> now six baltimore police officers have been suspended with pay from the baltimore police department investigates. we will dig deep sbeer that investigation and find out if those suspended officers could face charges. our legal panel will be here later on in this hour. and there's another republican gathering this weekend. this one, the faith and freedom coalition in iowa. declared presidential candidates senators rand paul ted cruz, and marco rubio will be speaking along with possible contenders governor scott walker jeb bush and carly fiorina. carl roberts joins us live from iowa hi john. >> reporter: one correction jeb
1:11 pm
bush is not here. he's one of the only ones not here. he's hosting a conference forsupporters in miami this weekend which is seen as being one of the last steps before creating a timetable for an announcement. so that's a big weekend for him in miami. which is the reason he's not here but here at the point of grace church it's a chance for conservatives to get to know the candidates. conservatives of course very important to the republican party here in iowa back in 2012 during the republican caucuses, they made up 57% of the people who went to the caucuses. good group to have on your side. nine candidates will be appearing here tonight, scott walker, who has been leading the polls here in iowa for months now. voters will want to hear what the position is on bread and butter issues the economy, national security also want to know on where they stand on issues like gay marriage and religious freedoms when it comes to social issues but one of the issues that the candidates are weighing in on themselves this weekend, the controversy surrounding clinton cash is detailed in our fox news
1:12 pm
reporting special last night. the tangled clinton web arrest again tonight at 10:00. we asked governor walker about it. >> i know there's a disearning trend that we have seen about a different set of rules for the clintons both now i had or itically than every day americans. and that's troubling. and i think former secretary of state is going to have to spend a fair amount of time explaining why the rules are different for the clintons than for the rest of us. >> senator marco rubio who also will be here tonight says the nation can't afford another four to eight years what have he calls bill clinton drama. lurching from one scandal to the next. the controversy may require congressional hearings even a justice department inquiry, and if there was any quit pro quo, hillary clinton's presidential aspirations are toast. >> the allegation is that specific u.s. policy was impacted by donations made to a private foundation or speaking fees to her husband. and that's, if that's proven to
1:13 pm
be true that's a disqualifier. >> it's strong language from senator rubio. senator rubio says at the least, senator clinton needs to come clean about her connections at the state department bill clinton's contributions to the clinton foundation. what moneys were paid to him during speeches and how all of that comes together and whether in fact arthel it did influence u.s. policy out of the state department. >> john roberts, thanks so much john. >> those questions now being raised about secretary of state hillary clinton, what does it mean? she's no stranger to controversy, but now tough lawyers say, this could potentially land in federal court. is that possible? will that happen? what is the next step? coming up the money, the speeches the donations, and any actions. plus critics say the u.s. is bending over backwards to reach a nuclear deal with iran but what are we doing to secure the release of four american
1:16 pm
1:17 pm
1:18 pm
in the early caucus state. now this as a new book raises questions over clinton's tenure at the state department including why it ok'd a specific transaction. >> 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 material to iran. >> that's correct. >> the problem is that hillary clinton's family foundation 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 land fall. >> molly hennenburg reporting live from washington with more molly. >> hi arthel and that deal allowing uranium one to sell u.s. uranium mines to russia had to be approved by the state department which it was, during hillary clinton's time there as secretary of state.
1:19 pm
hillary clinton's camp says it also had to be approved by other u.s. agencies and that she did not exert any quote, undue influence in the decision to sell the mines to the russians. but did she and her family's foundation benefit financially after that sale? now even the white house is getting questions on that. >> there has been no evidence presented that suggests that somehow donations to the clinton foundation had any impact on any policy decisions that were made by secretary clinton or anybody else in the state department. >> but peter's upcoming book clinton cash suggests otherwise. he talks about the uranium deal as did the new york times earlier this week. government ethics lawyers say hillary clinton could potentially face a criminal corruption investigation if such information continues to come to light. >> certainly smoke there. the question's going to be whether or not she took any official action in exchange for
1:20 pm
those donations. if she did, i think there is going to be a high high likelihood of additional scrutiny either from capitol hill or the department of justice itself. >> hillary clinton's campaign has dismissed the story as quote, just another in the many many partisan conspiracy theories. arthel. >> molly hennenburg thanks molly. eric. former president bill clinton speaking this past week as part of his ongoing clinton lectures at his alma mater, georgetown, university. >> for obvious reasons, i don't plan to talk about on electoral topics but it's important to remember as the secretary and the congressman can tell you, there is plenty of politics when the election is over. >> now the former president talked about public policy but he was keeping mom on his vice presidential run. the controversial surrounding their foundation. they denied any wrong doing despite the troubling revelations and allegations of
1:21 pm
possible conflicts of interest. so where will this go? joining us is the author of clinton inc. and journalist with the weekly standard, daniel, good to see you. >> you too, eric. >> where there's smoke there's fire we heard josh ernest say there's no evidence of any improper action. >> the clinton house has smoke in it now. we don't have e-mails saying that either hillary clinton or bill clinton would do this for a specific amount of money or something like that. so it's missing that direct evidence but there's enough correlation, and there's enough corresponding information to suggest some sort of impropriety, and of course that's what we're interesting in that's what we're asking questions about. it's incumbent on mrs. clinton and president clinton to speak about it speak to the press about it and take questions because these are serious, and they need to be answered. >> took her a while to have the u.n. security council press
1:22 pm
conference about the e-mail servers, what do you think they're going to do? >> well it looks like they're going after the author they're going after him directly and personally. they're going to i think just try to ignore it. try to talk about the issues that she wants to talk about and not try to get, you know, where she's in the weeds on it. she wants to stay above the fray and let her surrogates mix it up. i don't think, i think it's serious enough to where she can't do that. you can't, you know, i think voters are going to have real questions if she ever opens up campaign events to actual voters, if she ever talks to the press and goes, you know people to want know. i don't think that's a viable plan in the long run, and -- but obviously she's hoping to run out the clock. >> you wrote clinton inc. not at all related to this recent book with the revelations. based on what you found out and your book in terms of the corporate clinton side, you know what do they do? >> there is shady stuff going on. they have a huge operation that
1:23 pm
is multi-million dollar personal wealth and then their foundation has really taken in billions of dollars over the years, and they say that she's doing good work and there's some evidence of that but very small, but there's also the weird ties of these financial improprieties that raise serious questions. you know she was secretary of state of president obama, i mean the obama administration and of the united states i mean and they're allegations are that she was, you know, using that position to help further these companies for the benefit of herself and her foundation that's bad stuff. and it's not just bad on hillary clinton, it's bad on the obama administration. this is not just looking forward to 2016 this is an obama administration scandal, a cabinet member of his is has these allegations and he needs to answer for it as well. >> of course, the clinton folks say zhe nothing wrong. there was no quid pro quo, no connection but look you have
1:24 pm
the russians coming and buying our uranium, getting the land in wyoming for our uranium and the company, uranium one, canadian company had 2.some five million dollars to the clinton foundation. let me show you what the daily business is saying. they're saying quote, with each new day, new revelations called into question, hillary clinton's behavior during her tenure in state and after. it's time for her to suspend her campaign and start answering questions instead of going on the stump and blaming the 1% for all the ails, maybe she should stop running and start answering. what do you think, daniel are the chances of that happening of her, you know, she's not going to stop running for president. >> no she's a fighter and so is her husband. they fight. she's not going to stop running, if a big democrat say al gore john kerry, somebody with political aspirations, martin o'malley said this is disqualifies she cannot respect the democratic party, it does
1:25 pm
shake up the race significantly, but so far, the democratic party haas hasn't shown that kind of guts. >> all right, this is unfolding, we'll see how far it goes thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. just a clip few moments ago and half hour from now, you can check out the program. it is fox news reporting that tangled clinton web. airs this afternoon at 5:00 p.m. eastern, just over 35 minutes from now. and tomorrow the author of the book peter will be on fox news sunday. he will discuss and talk more in depth about that book called clinton cash you can check your local listings for that important interview. arthel. eric new concerns about the nuclear talks between the u.s. and iran. amid word the u.s. is prepared to make a deal without securing the release of americans detained in the country. plus as night falls in nepal, we'll have the latest on the complicated search efforts following today's deadly earthquake. a car that drives you...

1:30 pm
top story, a major challenge for survivors of today's deadly earthquake in nepal. aid agencies saying hundreds of people now forced to make due without electricity, running water, or shelter as temperatures plunge overnight. more than 1,000 people have reportedly been killed in in the quake which struck just outside nepal's capital of kathmandu earlier today, around noon time. triggering shocks across the region in places like india, bangladesh and tibet. we are nearby with the latest david. >> reporter: yes, hi. the official death toll as you said is now over 1,000, and it is expected to increase quite a bit as these rescue teams reach these isolated areas around the epicenter. also no word as such from those climbers that were on mt.
1:31 pm
everest when the quake struck. the quake hit an area between kathmandu and the city of boko haram. the quake was felt across the region. the minister described massive damage of the epicenter. so far there's been little information out of that mountainous area as rescue teams struggle to get there. the search is continuing through the mine for people trapped beneath rubble from fallen buildings in kathmandu. many people are sleeping on the streets in the capital tonight because of the fear of more aftershocks. and help from the international community has been asked for. india has already sent in relief supplies. kathmandu's main airport is reported to have received some damage but some flights have managed to get in. a number of historic buildings have been destroyed by the quake. the famous tower was smashed. it's feared over 100 people were inside when it fell. and also at this time they are
1:32 pm
continuing their search across mt. everest for those missing climbers back to you. >> david piper, thank you for the report. arthel there are new concerns from the lives of american prisoners being held in iran. you know in the wake of president obama's announcement of the framework nuclear deal. some say these negotiations right now are the prime opportunity to try and bring the pastor and the three other imprisoned americans home to their families finally. but others worry president obama could actually reach a deal with iran without ever securing the american's release. wrote an article on why the prirdss could be held kaptive after a deal is reached. >> i think we've had our best opportunities. what i'm concerned is what you just mentioned. they are going by quickly. last week the state department said the fate of the americans
1:33 pm
was in no way tied into these discussions with the iranian, which is hard to imagine or believe when you have the secretary of state of the united states john kerry staring at the foreign minister of iran literally feet apart, and we don't have a discussion directly at that point about americans that are basically being held right now as hostages. you've got all these men, and the whereabouts of robert levinson. the whole idea that we have not secured the release to me at this point is absurd considering we're negotiating with the iranians and whatever leverage we had on the iranians were quickly losing it. could you imagine the reality if we have the president going to the rose garden saying we've struck a deal with iran we've got this agreement, and those americans are still left in iran? their fate as the state department unfortunately said would certainly be in worse shape than it is today. we have to get movement on this.
1:34 pm
you're going to see next week in washington some action where there is going to be congressional movement eric on having any deal subject to first congressional review but number two, that the americans are certainly released. >> you're saying that bill on capitol hill that you could tag on the names of these missing americans? >> that's exactly correct. it's going to be looks like an amendment to senator corker's bill it's going to have i believe that the point, may well have bipartisan support, and the idea there of course is that any deal with iran as was reviewed by congress any deal is also a precondition of the deal being signed as the americans not only have to be said released actually returned to the united states to their families. that's what we're pushing for aggressively. >> you know the president has called the pastor's release and the others a top priority. he's met with the family as you know they had a statement in march saying they were called for an immediate release of the government of teheran to get him out.
1:35 pm
so the president had done something, but clearly, you feel that's not enough. i mean paper statement, even though he did meet with the family i mean what else then could they do? >> well i appreciate meeting with the family but i'll tell you what i would appreciate more i would appreciate john kerry, the secretary of state of the united states tomorrow or monday when they start the meetings again to look at the table, not sideline off the record conversation look at za riff and say these words, the americans need to be released now before these discussions proceed to the next stage. the americans must be released. why are we afraid to demand their release? not just saying it's a concern or we urge them to be released why are we not saying directly from the secretary of state, our chief foreign officer, let the americans out. >> yeah could they enve lop this in the language and afraid they're going to muck it up? >> yeah well you're right, eric and the problem with that of course is you have the fate
1:36 pm
of americans that they're saying the fate of these americans are not in any way tied into this. who are they kidding? they are using them right now basically as a negotiating chip, we know this. just get them out and they still have congressional oversight of the deal. get the americans -- i don't understand for the life of me what is so complicated, again, i know it's against the narrative, why not just demand face to face with the iranian counterpart, secretary kerry, not we're calling or asking demand it for once demand a release. >> and you would think the iranians would think it's in their best to be humane and all of this and try to do this if they could. thank you so much and we'll be following up on that congressional bill to see if it does indeed include the names of the fourth down americans being held in iran right now against their will. jay, thank you. eric and jay, hundreds now marching in baltimore, protesting the death of freddie gray. demonstrators promising to take over streets to demand justice.
1:37 pm
but what exactly will that justice look like? well our legal panel will weigh in on that. and why the controversial bowe bergdahl swap could cost the defense department about $500 million. >> from the day bergdahl left we were talking to investigators, telling them exactly what happened. so you think after five years, you know that information would have, you know reached, you know the white house or people making a decision about bergdahl. ♪ ♪ the beautiful sound of customers making the most of their united flight. power, wi-fi and streaming entertainment. that's... seize the journey friendly.
1:41 pm
up ahead, the house armed services committee now threatening to slash a big chunk of the defense department's funding over claims of stone walling. the panel accusing the pentagon of withholding critical information about that controversial swap of those five taliban prisoners for sergeant bowe bergdahl and not giving lawmakers a mandatory 30-day notice about the that
1:42 pm
controversial swap. defense secretary ash carter defends the pentagon though. he claims it did not inform congress out of fear of jeopardizing bergdahl's return. protests underway and growing in baltimore. demonstrators vowing to shut down the city until they get answers about the death of freddie gray. 25-year-old gray suffered a spinal injury while in police custody and died days later. police admitting there are holes in the investigation and that they failed to provide gray the medical attention he needed after his arrest. >> we know he was not buckled in the transportation wagon. as he should have been. no excuses for that period. we know our police employees failed to get him medical attention in a timely manner multiple times. there are still many questions that we don't have the answers to and some open-ended areas that we need to focus heavily on. >> joining me now, robert
1:43 pm
bianci he's a former prosecutor and trial attorney and alex little were defense attorney and former assistant federal prosecutor thanks for joining us. >> no problem. >> good afternoon. >> alex let's start with you, what happens now in terms of legal recourse for the family as well as charges and punishment for the officers involved. >> so this is a murder investigation. and it should be treated that way. i think with the press attention it's going to be treated that way, and that means there are a number of people here five could be six, who know what happened. and those folks are going to be interviewed, they've already been interviewed once, i suspect they'll be interviewed again and investigators will have to uncover what happened between the time fraed i did gray was arrest -- freddie gray was arrested and the time he was in the ambulance. look for other witnesses, other things like tape they've talked abouted. you're going to see the state police involved state investigators, and i expect you'll see federal investigators now, the department of justice confirmed that. >> but i asked you in terms of legal recourse for the family and punishment and charges for the officers involved.
1:44 pm
>> well for the family what they can do is obviously sue the city and sue the officers for wrongful death, and that's likely what i expect they would do. officers could face state charges of things like homicide negligent homicide assault charges. if there was any sort of attempt to cover it up there'd be obstruction and federal charges that might apply too here which would conspiracy to deprive him of his rights and a similar federal rights depriving rights under the color of law. >> robert let me bring you into the conversation now, you know alex just mentioned a state or local investigation. i want to talk to you about the federal investigation in terms of what that will devil into do you think that'll bring about changes in police policy in baltimore, and you can start though robert i understand you have a problem with the them investigating their own case so to speak. >> i think the police commissioner is doing a good job in being very transparent. i agree with all the statements as a prosecutor head prosecutor in the manner in which he's telling everybody, being
1:45 pm
transparent about what what's happening, but i have an internal distrust of any police agency that's investigating itself. i believe deeply that these investigations should be conducted by an independent agency to avoid even the public optic that something unfair is occurring here. at the same time that this investigation is going, just noted, you not only have a state prosecution for potential murder manslaughter and things of that nature but a federal civil rights criminal investigation that'll determine whether or not a civil rights were deprived. i think the police are going to have a difficult time in the case because with the two admissions by the police commissioner that he was not buckled and shackled and handcuffed in those vans which i've been in personally myself there's a lot of activity a lot of movement and many cases where people have been killed and seriously injured by not having people properly restrained. and three occasions of the case where he wasn't properly restrained. that's a gross mediation in the standard of care that could lead to a homicide prosecution. >> robert i'm staying with you,
1:46 pm
you mentioned that you have been involved in such cases. and as we speak, we're looking at live pictures there in front of city hall in baltimore. you can see a huge crowd gathering there, and it's still early in the day, only 4:45 locally, and robert since this case came to light, we have now heard about so the-called rough ride. is that a thing? >> i was an ambulance driver for many years worked with cases where it's a real phenomenon. this is a circumstance and you have to understand he is now in police custody, he has handcuffs on he has foot shackles on. he's completely vulnerable. what happens in the vans, which are difficult to keep your ambulance in hard cuts in one direction or stop and go tactics where the person is literally being thrown around like a rag doll no ability to use feet and hands to control the activity and the motion that's occurring in the vans. i'm not saying that occurred here but the police commissioner himself said he is concerned that that may be something that's at play here.
1:47 pm
remember this police commissioner has let go of 50 people since 2012 for police conduct, misconduct-related cases, so one has to be very suspicious of what occurred here. >> alex let's bring you back in as we look at the live pictures there in baltimore. line of police there guarding standing quite stoic as they have been throughout the demonstrations there. you know alex there's still the questions, lingering questions, one of which is why mr. gray was arrested in the first place. will we ever be able to determine the official cause of death? and then i ask you to close for me alex in this situation, there in baltimore national ramifications in terms of changes in police protocol and policy? >> i think it should. your last question i think robert hit on it this is not a case the police should be investigating themselves. and we haven't really spoken about the fact that there were a number of days that went by from the time the incident occurred until he passed away in the hospital bed. and if this was treated like a real criminal case from the
