montana. the sight seers rushed back to their cars. we have bears in my town in new jersey. they are everywhere. >> they had peanuts in their pocket. we have to run. happy mom's day to all of the mothers out there including you and my own. >> thank you. bye everybody have a great day. mother's day updates in just a minute but first extreme weather leaving hundreds of americans reeling. >> what a weekend for many and not in the best way. storms tearing through the central plains and parts of the south. a town in texas was demolished

in terms of 30% of the town. and a tornado causing widespread damage uprooting trees and flooding homes and a flood watch in colorado. residents are being notified to be ready to run. and then more than a foot of snow blanketing the roads in montana leaving the roads slipper slippery. will car is live in van texas with more. >> reporter: as we talk search and rescue teams are going door to door looking for survivors. this is still a bit of a voltile voltile -- situation. they are concerned about gas leaks throughout the area. the damage is wide spread. the elementary school in van took a hit with windows blown out, trees snapped cars and

homes destroyed. we talked to one local resident angela reed, she heard the sirens going off and took her family down the street and went inside her parent's home seconds before the tornado hit. >> we were rushing to the hallway and we could hear the tornado coming and it picked up the house and started ripping the rooms off. we were hollering and streaming. when we came out everything was destroyed. >> amazingly reed and her family survived and were not injured. for that they say they are blessed but they are devastated by the damage community has taken and all of the injuries from the residents she knows in the area. we are expecting a press conference in the next 30 minutes. everyone is keeping an eye on the weather today because they are expecting flash flooding. the last thing anyone needs or

wants is more dangerous weather coming across this area. >> we will see what is in the forecast ahead. thank you very much. more from van, texas as we get it. >> let's get to the forecast with more on the dangerous weather. we are live in the fox extreme weather center. >> reporter: we are hearing reports of people missing in van, texas because of the severe storms. we had 53 reports of tornados on saturday. on mother's day 26 reports of tornado. almost 100 reports of tornados and unfortunately we are dealing with a death toll here. let's watch the cold front move eastward. the cold front brought over two feet of snow across the mountain regions. the good news is we have not talking about severe weather outbreak but there is a threat for hail damaging winds and tornados from the great lakes to the gulf coast and into texas again. isolated tornados possible but we don't think we will see the

severity we saw over the weekend. the ingredients are just not there. however the flooding potential is there. several inches of rain coming in at the same time so flooding is a big concern in central and southeastern texas where they could get ten inches of rain fall. temperatures are well below average across the north and central planes. 10-15 to even 20 below normal temperatures. you can believe we had our first tropical storm of the system early. this was tropical depression ana. it is weakening butbri bringing the potential for heavy rain fall in the carolinas and up toward the atlantic.

it is weakening moving east and northward. people are trying to get their wits in texas together and better weather for texas. >> can texas send some of that rain to southern california? >> that is another story with the drought continuing in the west. we will stay with van texas briefly because we have pictures that show us much of the devastation in that town. again a small town in the suburbs more or less in dallas east ofdallas. you can see certain homes are spared while others are destroyed and very little rhyme or reason to the pattern but the helicopt helicopter showing the neighborhoods. this entire town very much affected. two dozen people if not more injured, and you can see the cleanup is under way.

we have reports of search dogs, rescue teams in the area questions if there are not more people injured and unable to get help or perhaps worse as well. in van texas at the beginning of this tough tornado season -- it is about on time for this time of the year but as far as seeing the damage in texas we have not seen this too frequently outside of dallas. >> look at the neighbors pitching in. that is what you get in texas and other parts of the country; neighbors pitching in to help. the devastation is an awful way to begin the spring. >> we will continue to watch van. in the meantime moving on to a story from mississippi. >> a city in mississippi is mourning the loss of two of its police officers that were killed during a traffic stop and one of

their squad cars stolen from the scene. four suspects are in custody making making their first appearance today. >> reporter: sometimes you need the local paper to sum it up best and you can see it here. unfathomable tragedy. to give you an idea of how small this town is we talked to a couple gas station attendants and asked if they knew the officers and they did and also the suspects. hundreds turned out for a candlelight vigil at one of the local stations to remember these two men. the rookie and veteran wanted to be a cop since he was a young man and recent graduate being on the force a less than a year. and former k-9 officer, married his high school sweetheart, two

very young children. one of the senior officers said both men were salt of the earth and some of the best officers they had. dean was named officer of the year recently. >> this entire community we hope comes out and tells this family much we loved them. >> reporter: and now for the suspects. two brothers, marvin and curtis banks, charged and one woman charged who was allegedly in the car at the time of the traffic stop and another man charged with obstruction of justice. take a listen to curtis banks walking in >> i didn't do anything. >> reporter: and that is curtis professing his innocence. he is the younger brother to marvin. i talked to marvin's mother and she said she believes her son was on drugs, possibly spice or

powder cocaine at the time of the shooting. they will be arraigned at 3 p.m. today and 1 p.m. today there is a vigil for these officers. their lives intertwined with the suspects as they will be forever in this small community that is still in shock at what happened. the grief comes as the funerals do later this week. >> another absolutely senseless murder of police officers. thank you, leland. she was convicted of forcing her granddaughter to run until the little girl died and now she is about to learn her faith. the jury made the decision on life or death but the judge gets the final word. and a key strategy person compares bill clinton to nuclear energy saying if he is used

properly in his wife's campaign he could help but he could also harm. we will go in depth on that coming up next.

crime stories to report. the alabama woman convicted of making her 9-year-old grand daughter run until she collapsed and died learns her fate. the jury recommended life in prison but the judge could sentence her to death still. and verdict watch for the third trial of cal harris who was found guilty twice before of killing his wife but thoseat was overturned. the jury is locked as they deliver a ninth day. the penalty case of the dzhokhar tsarnaev just rested. they claim his life should be spared because his brother was the driving force behind the attack. the jury could begin

deliberation later this week. new controversial around hilary clinton with one focused on herd the other centered on the clinton foundation. ed henry is live with more. >> reporter: the clinton campaign continues to say a lot of these questions are not amounting to much but "the new york times" out with a tough piece zeroing in on one of her brothers saying he has been using the clinton foundation as a way to get rich including a failed attempt to get housing contracts in haiti after the devastating earthquake. the campaign put out a statement saying she loves her brother but he's got his own life and his actions are separate from her. but a political analysts is saying all of theeingse questions are adding up to trouble.

>> this is what blows me away. they really don't think it matters. they will say it doesn't matter and also trust doesn't matter. >> reporter: new york magazine is claiming in the wake of the book clinton cash the foundation has been battling a non-profit watch dog known as charity navi navigator who determined this charity's business model cannot be captured and our removal of the foundation from the sight is not endorseing or otherwise. they have been monitoring the watch dog to change the regulation regulations. they are doing a lot of damage control behind the scenes. >> and new questions may be even

concerns about the role bill clinton will may in his wife's presidential campaign and beyond especially given the lessons like time hillary ran. it as a delicate dance because he is a poplar figure but he could comp licate things for his wife. washington post wrote up a story today, bret baier is here to discuss this and it makes the point in the opening paragraph that hillary is trying to appeal to the every day american who needs help up and her husband is meeting with a bunch of corporate titans, oil shakes and corporate people. how do they rein in bill clinton

and take advantage of his capabilities without getting burned? >> that is a tough question and one i think the hilary clinton campaign is trying to deal with. last week after bill clinton came out in the interview and said about all of these speeches he takes in $500000 a speech he is going to continue to do that because he has to pay the bills. that didn't sit well and you saw the hilary clinton campaign push back saying that is bill we are dealing with hillary. that probably won't fly in the long term and one of the interviews that was interesting was david axle and he said bill clinton is like nuclear energy this is the former strategy member for president obama he said if you use it properly it can be helpful and proactive, if you misuse it it could be catastrophic. i think that kind of sums up the

debate inside the campaign. >> and you know according to the information provided by the bill hillary and chelsea foundation bill has made over a $100 million in speaking fees so by saying he is trying to pay the bills with the speeches he is making i think most americans would say if you haven't bang banked some of that you are not a good money manager. another quote from axle speaking about the comparison between hillary and bill clinton. let me see if i can get it on the screen. he said talking about standing next to the sun. it is hard to shine when you stand next to the sun. it is diminishing to have them out there. this is david axlerod who

designed a lot of the obama campaign. that is an interesting assessment for hilary clinton. >> specifically about standing next to each other at tom harkins steak fry in iowa. the reception and speech bill clinton gave and the reception and speech hilary clinton gave you could see the dichotomy between the two. he is obviously a master campaigner and can work a room better than any politician we have seen. i do think there is more scrutiny in the wake of the clinton foundation. and remember she has taken a grand total of eight questions since launching her campaign almost a month ago. contrast that to some republican candidates who are upwards of 90 candidates in the first time frame. >> we will talk about that with

our media panel. but it is interesting. he is a natural campaigner and lights up a room. most observers will tell you hilary clinton doesn't have the same personal charm the way her husband does. how does she harness that without the energy he puts off without somehow being diminished by it? >> well i don't think you will see many steak fry events like when they appeared at the tom harkin event. i don't think you will see them campaigning much together. what was billed as bill clinton being on the back burner changed windups once we started dealing with these questions and went to the front burner. but i don't think that is where they want to be as far as the campaign is concerned. >> bill clinton campaigning to be first gentlemen. interesting. bret baier, thank you. >> thank you, sir.

>> we want to know what you think. how big of a role do you think bill clinton should play this second time around? log to know to foxnews/happeningnow and get your thoughts on the discussion. one state is getting an investment from volvo. what the automaker is planning and how many americans could benefits. and many western leaders skip victory celebrations but china made the trip. what does that mean for the rest of the world?

a swedish car company is coming to south carolina. volvo is investing $5 million to

build their first manufacturing company there. great news for the economy there. it is slated to brin operation in 2018 with 5,000 employees. they said the commitment will be felt by the community for decades. south carolina and georgia were the two finalist for the georgia plant. a massive show of military might as russia celebrated e-day featuring 15,000 troops in formation, flyovers and new tanks as well part of moscow's $700 billion upgrade. and many western leaders avoided the trip or were not invited chaia did attend. the secretary of state is headed back to russia for his second visit. captain nash is here.

secretary kerry is going to meet with the foreign minister in russia. what do you think needs to be our message to russia that this point? >> it is going to be very difficult to convey a message to the russians because we are coming from a point of global weakness. i think secretary kerry will have to persuade his counterpart that the united states and nato have been accommodateing enough and pushed into a corner and that is not where you want to cage someone. we will step and support our allies especially in the baltic states. ukraine is a mess and coming up with a solution to that is going to be difficult if not impossible. >> the foreign minister according to reportss from inside russia is going to appeal to the secretary to stop

medaling in ukraine and giving support to ukraine. that is russia's message to the secretary. speaking of messages what do you think russia was trying to portray to the world with the force over the weekend and the partnership of having the chinese president present at the event. >> when russia was the soviet union during the cold war they had a may day which was showing the world we are not a second class power but a world class power and i think the russians are doing that. the fact they had the chinese president on the stand the chinese president sat next to him. both of these countries are pursueing aggressive movements. china is building an island on a reef system in the south china

sea as well as supporting iran. the russians are lifting a five year embargo on the sa-10 missile to iran which makes any attacks on the program very difficult. i think both of these countries which used to consider each other as their primary threat because they are attached by the same land mass are now looking at how week can exploit the pull back from the world stage. >> i am glad you brought it out because of the parallels. we are seeing that in an opt-ed talking about china and russia. here is the what the writer said we should learn: this mattered because it encouraged moscow to go from a southeastern ukraine. the islands in the southeastern sea claimed by bijings are not

just specks in the pacific. challenger challengers start by probing their commitment. will the united states be arbitrators or friends? what do you think of that? >> i can the writer is talking about what precipitated the arab springs. you show weakness and move away from traditional allies and then people figure out i am stuck in this region because this is where my land is. if you look at what is happening now with the united states and iranian nuclear agreement you have all of the gulf arab allies looking at that and they are seeing a potential shift from the arab side of support to possibly cutting a deal and backing the iranians and the arabs are very upset about that. >> let's talk about where we

would actually take action. if we are not going to be the arbitrator and you are enlisting all of these different areas and rightfully so to southeast europe and asia. where will be take a stand? if we don't want to look like we are in a point of self containment where do you take a stand to send a message the united states is not going to take this constant encroachment. >> i think the primary place we will take a stand is europe. if we were to not honor the nato agreement, article 5 the mutual defense agreement, in the nato treaty, then that would be the end of u.s. power worldwide. it doesn't matter who we talk to after that. if we were to allow the baltic

states one of them to fall to russian aggression and not defend them it wasn't matter. that would send a signal around the world the united states is a paper tiger and and no longer be dependent upon. stay >> it puts weight on the meeting with secretary kerry and the foreign minister later this week. thank you so much. a transformer fire sends flames high near the nuclear indian plant near new york city. and several new republican presidential candidates trying to get their names out on the talk show circuit. we will analyze the sunday showdown.

critics are saying thousands of gallons of oil are leaking into the river after a transformer exploded at the indian point nuclear plant. david miller is live with more. >> reporter: authorities don't know how much oil spilled into the hudson river. you can see for yourself there are now containment blooms in place in the river. they are about 300 feet in diameter. the transformer that caught on fire held 80000 gallons of oil.

a containment tank overflowed. the river keepers, an advocy group who wants the plant shutdown released video of what looks like an oil slick on the river. another plant says investigators, excuse me the operator of the plant says that investigation continues. but there was little if any, environmental impact. the governor toured the sight on sunday. >> everything we know was isolated to the transformers. that is the good news. the bad news is the transformer itself is a significant piece of equipment. the damage from the fire is significant. there has been a number of these

in incidents. the fear is you will have a disruption and trigger others. >> reporter: the fire didn't result in radiation leakage they say but after the fire was put out it did reignite. reactor number three is shutdown and the operator of the plant says it could be shutdown for several weeks. an adjacent reactor continues to operate. and as for the cleanup of the oil the governor says it is expected to take a few more days. jenna? >> story to watch. david lee, thank you. turning to the 2016 race. the three latest gop candidates entering the race former ceo, carly fiorina, retired neuro surgeon ben carson and mike huckabee appeared on the sunday

talk show this weekend. alan combs is here to talk about it with us. and tammy bruce is also a radio talk show host. let's talk about dr. ben carson's appearance with ben wallace. >> here is what you said about obamacare. >> obamacare is really, i think the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. it is in a way slavery. >> the worst thing since slavery? >> you have to understand what i am talking about. you know obamacare, fundamentally changes the relationship between the people and the government. the government is suppose to respond to the will of the people. not dictate to the people what they are doing. >> so what is wrong with that?

>> everything. what is wrong with that? comparing it to slavery? he said at one point obamacare was worse than 9/11 and then he said i never said that. we compared the united states to nazi germany. this happened yesterday with chris wallace didn't understand the issue of judicial review. he is not qualified to be president of the united states with the lack of understanding and basic preception. >> when he announced he was running he said i am not a professional and will make mistakes and they will make fun ome. >> he has a compelling story and he is a role model for many. but it isn't just about not having experience. we know about judicial review.

the average person watching this program understand dynamics. this is what is great about the interviews. the american people will come to their own conclusion and many will be like alan's conclusion about whether or not someone can be president. it doesn't mean they don't have a role to make the nation better but there is something for the presidency that is required like an understanding of the nuances. >> and then there is carly fiorina who was also on the sunday show this weekend. >> why did hp's board fire you and why on the day they did the stock went up nearly 7%? >> well they did fire me. i was fired in a board room brawl. we had board members leaking information out of the board room. it is a leader's job to challenge the status quo and when you do you make enemies. >> it has been pointed out there is a long list of successful entrepreneurs who got fired.

steve jobs mark cuban jk rawling oprah. >> steve jobs came back and ran apple in a beautiful way. loosing a senate race in california she was $500000 in debt for five years and didn't pay it back until this january who she wanted to run for president. the media has done little coverage of that. this woman was unable to balance the books when running for senate in california and ran into incredible debt. >> and when you forget a $100 million on our tax return. let's get a perspective of who is out there. carly fiorina answered hundreds of questions. hillary answered four. she is not afraid and impressing people unlike other candidates who never held public office. he is a perfect example of

someone who can handle the information and media your point about steve jobs is right. when you are in the field you will have ups and downs. >> where are the ups? >> the up is the fact this is a woman who is going to have an impact on this country and is a le le legit presidential campaign. >> she is not a legit candidate. >> she is willing to go on the sunday morning shows. >> i have not heard why she got fired. why the stock price went down. and why she was $500000 in debt. i don't hear the answer to those questions. >> we will continue to watch all of these topics and more with our media panel. outrage over a united airline flight from disney world after this young girl and her family were kicked off the plane. her mom says it is because her

daughter has tim autism. but the airline is weighing in. >> people were shouting let her go. leave her alone. there is no issue. let her go.

a fox news alert. take a look at this. an airliner coming into lax lost a wheel or tire on landing leading to a belly landing. you can see the plane on the run way blocking the runway at lax one of the nation's busiest airports. they have parallel runways so there are other options. but traffic at lax is going to be slow as long as the plane is on the ground. you can see the fire crew responded. no word of injuries taking place as the skywest dc-9 or md-80 or

88 plane. no fire we can see. but you can see the left wing on the ground there. very good job by the pilot and air crew of getting the plane on the ground safely. lax is going to be a mess for a while why they get this figured out. and any plane coming out of lax may be facing delays. >> you may be having a tough monday morning. >> you can imagine how frightening that was to see the wing dragging on the ground and collapsed apparently. we are told the plane lost a tire but it looks like the left main landing gear may have collapsed on the ground. you can see this happening with live pictures coming from our fox station in los angeles. we will get more information and bring it to you.

>> moving on to another airline story. an oregon mom planning to sue united airlines after her family was kicked off a plane from florida because of issues raised by her special needs daughter. her 15-year-old daughter as autism and gets agitated when she is hungry and her mom said she only eats hot food which is served only in first class. after a fight, she got the food, but then the plane landed and they were asked to leave. >> they said i don't have anything. and i said how about if we wait for her to have a melt down and she is crying and trying to scratch. the police officer said we have to ask you to leave the plane and i said why. and he said well the captain doesn't feel comfortable. >> this video of juliette on the

plan. the woman is suing for a change or considering to sue for a change in policy. brian silver and rebecca legrand criminal defense attorney is here. we will talk about the judgment of the flight attendant in a moment. is there enough for the family to sue united airlines? >> well the family can certainly pursue a complaint with the faa. there are laws to try to insure folks with disabilities are accommodated. what she was looking for wasn't hard and wasn't putting the plane or passengers at risk. she just needed a little help to accommodate her daughter with a disability. if the airline didn't do it and they didn't put measures to let the flight attendant know how to

do that she can file a complaint and they can fine the airline. >> the question is if she was asking for help or a threat. you heard the mother say how about we wait for her to have a meltdown? she will be crying and trying to scratch. if you a flight attendant hearing this with 150 people on board what is your reaction? >> the view from the cabin may be this was a big overreaction and we should feel bad for the girl because she has autism. and i am not trying to belittle disability. but you know what this captain has an awesome responsibility and so does the airline. they are responsibility for a $50 million airplane and the lives of 200 people. and the view from the cockpit is different. when you are a captain of an air plane and you her of a disruption going on you have a

duty to make sure everyone is safe. i stand behind the pilot. >> we have a statement from united airlines. i have to take a break but i will read that after the break. share your comments online. money to live life on your terms? i sure hope so. with healthcare costs, who knows. umm... everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor.... can get the real answers you need. start building your confident retirement today.

a fox news alert. taking you back to lax for the events that just transpired in the last half hour. they got word this united express jet was having problems whether the pilot had an indication of a gear problem we don't know. it came in as the plane loosing a left tire but this is more with the left landing gear not coming down or collapsing on landing. the plane skidded down the runway on its belly. you can see the left wing is on

the ground. it is a regional jet flying under the united airlines label. but this company sky west, operates regional jets for all of the big carriers. no body hurt that is the good news. the firefighters got everybody off the plane. no body hurt. no fire. but there is going to be one run way closed at lax. they have three others. but one of them is going to be closed at least for the next few hours while they get this sorted out and the investigation getsed under' underway. back with the united airline story. united said the crew made the best decision for the safety and

comfortable of all customers. jody smith, a traveler said this is disgusting and showing how this was overblown. >> the airline should have responded humanely thought it through and been more reasonable. i think he she has a real claim. >> one of the viewers wrote in saying i have an autistic butter so if it is an issue like that maybe she should fly first class. what do you think? >> if you know your kid is going to have a meltdown bring your own food. you have to be considerate.
