lease the 2015 rc 350 for $429 a month for 36 months. see your lexus dealer. fox news alert for you now. a historic event happening. just a few minutes ago, pope francis arriving in cuba. and let's show you a live look at the airport in havana. the communist nation rolling out the red carpet to welcome the leader of the roman catholic church. and good afternoon to you all. welcome to a brand-new hour inside mesh's news headquarters. >> good to have you with us. i'm kelly wright. the holy father will spend four days on the island nation. it is only the third papal visit there in the last 20 years. steve is live with more details about this visit.

steve? >> reporter: kelly, a real sense of excitement on this island of 11 million people. we wait for pope francis to step out of that plane. he is going to be met by cuba's leader, raul castro and cardinal ortega. it will be a very busy time for the pope on the island of cuba. this is after all the third papal visit to cuba in the past 17 years. he will meet with castro. he might meet with fidel castro, depending how well the 89-year-old former leader's health is. we are watching raul and the head of the church walk out to meet the pope. raul has had an interesting relationship. he said if this pope keeps talking and writing the way he is writing, i might go back to the church. he was baptized by jesuits.

he and his brother led harsh tactics, confiscated churches and schools and driving the catholics out. easter was rein stated as a holiday. now this pope is visiting. the first native speaker of spanish and someone raul castro says he feels akin to. it has been a buffer between the united states and cuba. he is seen by many to being one of the key mediators help to go end a 50-year cold war standoff, which resulted in embassies being established in washington and havana this summer. he is likely to push for more freedom for catholics on the ground in cuba. they want to get on the radio. they want to open up schools. perhaps in washington he might

make a push for cuba, for ending that u.s. embargo against cuba. kelly, back to you. >> steve, what kind of atmosphere would you describe amongst the people there? there are throngs of people waiting to see the pope. many of them of course will be wanting to try to reach out and touch him and talk to him. what will this do for the people of cuba? >> reporter: this pope already sent a message to the people that he is coming to speak to them directly. he wants to make a personal connection as the first pope from latin america. he is of course from argentina. he wants to revitalize the church on this island. 60% of cubans categorize themselves catholics but the actual attendance in mass is 10%. there is a real sense that one of their own is coming back as far as the native spanish language. there's tremendous excited about open air mass tomorrow and open air mass tomorrow on the east

coast of cuba. but controversy as well. this pope will not be meeting with dissidents, anyone who opposes the castro government. so he has drawn criticism for that as well. >> steve, it's julie. i want to ask about the speck traitors. thousands of journalists are covering this and giving this worldwide attention. journalists in cuba in the past didn't necessarily have the voice and the freedom to report on such a monumental story on this. tell us about the presence that you are seeing there. >> reporter: i think this is something that cuba wants the world to see. this is a real feather in the cap of this communist government. it is showing what they hope is is to be some tolerance. and it's something that they want to get on the world stage. cuba is just 11 million people. yet they have had three papal visits really outside gesture to

its importance to its nation. we see the pontiff making his way out now. after a long flight he's going to -- it's windy here. and it looks like rain. we have seen in his message to the cuban people overnight that he intends to bring what he calls a sense of mercy. that's going to be the theme of his visit, the theme of his outdoor arenas. how much he is going to get into politics is another question. you see him meeting with raul castro. he might meet formally with raul after a huge open air mass. and he might meet with fidel. that depends on fidel's health. he is meeting with the head of cuba's catholic church, the bishop or cardinal ortega. the church has come under criticism for being too close to the ruling elite. there are two points of view here. on the one hand, they say he is playing a long game.

he wants to make what gains for the church. others accuse him of being too conciliatory, not standing up to this communist regime, the dissidents. sharply divided points of view has to how the cuban church has behaved here. the cardinal is a close friend to this pope. tomorrow we will see five young cubans make their first communion. this has been a time of revitalization. this certainly hemmed. no new churches have been built since the revolution in 1959. there is hope to get the church back on the radio, back in schools, back on radio. there is pressure to create more room for catholics to worship freely on this island. >> steve, a few things that you

pointed out here, and it's what this pope is all about. the message to the open air mass for the people who will be there will be one of mercy. and then you talked about hope. that is something that the pope believes has to prevail particularly in a place like cuba, where people have been hard pressed, oppressed and sometimes repressed. now they have a chance to express it openly. it has to be such a boost for the people of cuba. policies notwithstanding. people can grab a hold of, as we see the pope grab hold of the young people, grasping down, letting them know. that has to be such a thrill for the young kids embracing the pontiff as he embraces them and acknowledges that he cares for them. that's what the people of cuba are so desperate for. hope and mercy. >> hope and mercy. and really getting through the day to day of their own lives. something the pope has spoken

to. to try to feed their children and live on this island without some would consider basic necessities like air-conditioning. it is a tough go for the cuban. it is is a sense both from the cuban government, however distasteful it might be to many, this pope is one of their own. this pope has attacked the excess of capitalism. i think the fact that he is from argentina, a native spanish speaker, has made him feel to many cubans like he is one of their own. and him bringing a sense of mercy and kindness here. there is hope. i think in the longer term view, cubans, to some degree, and i don't mean to sound cynical, have seen it before. they have seen two papal visits and in the past 17 years not a lot of dramatic improvement in the basic lifestyle of the cubans. many who are getting along on $25 a month.

this is the third pope to come to cuba. some may be impatient. >> exactly. to your point, you would arguably be correct. they have seen two papal visits in the past where things did not change. but now that relationships between the united states and cuba are falling. and we're seeing some people reaching out to each other. that might change things. and this papal visit could help further that given the fact that the pope will visit cuba and then come to the united states where he will meet with president obama and talk to the members of congress. so we may see some change in cuba that people are longing for. >> reporter: i think you're right, kelly. you're right to link the two events. we had a dramatic change in the relationship with the united states. you had for the first time in 50 years, embassies reopen just this summer. and i think that gave people a real sense of hope.

on top of that, you had one of the mediators in that agreement, pope francis, coming to visit, first cuba and the u.s. no accident there. at the same time, if you look at both of these events at the opening of the u.s. embassy there were no dissidents present. that will certainly a point of some contention and criticism. here you have a pope shoulder to shoulder with the communism raul castro with the man many would see as an oppressive dictator. so there's no dissidents present at this meeting. and he won't meet with any publicly. so the real question i think many people raise, especially the dissidents themselves, is is there enough going on behind closed doors to push the cuban government. have they made any concession to all of these gains they're getting. they are getting a papal visit. what have they done? what moves have they made to deserve this from the world.

>> steve, it's julie. this visit by the pope, what does it do for u.s. and cuba relations? >> reporter: i think there's going to be a lot of close attention paid to exactly what this pope says. both here and then following up on the u.s. how far is he going to go? he's known as a pastoral pope, someone who ministers to the people. he has played an oversized role in politics. he now has had real foreign policy success on his resume. how far is he going to try to push that? a man who presents himself as the pope of the poor, pastoral pope. yet he is making things happen on the world stage. which direction will he go on in the open air mass. close attention will be made. raul castro himself is is going to be in attendance at all these masses, julie.

>> as you mentioned, raul castro is curious about this particular pope because he likes a lot of things this pope has said in terms of knocking down some of the greed of capitalism, if you will. he has also talked about mercy, hope, and bringing people together. he's been a practical type of pope and understands the mechanics of what goes on in these countries. he has the possibility of bridging a divide between various people. and there are various people in the united states, as you snow, steve, who would long to have their loved ones go back and forth to cuba. they migrated here, moved here, as a result have done very well. they have pursued and achieved the american dream. but they would also like to hold castro to speak to the fire to make sure that he dispenses in communism and provides some freedom for the people there. so we will be watching -- >> reporter: you're right, kelly. sure. in fairness to this pope, he has

criticized much of the communist regime, saying it is really a kind of government that denies the individual a sense of dignity. he has attacked not only the excesses of capitalism, which caused criticism in the u.s., but communism as well is. so the pope has attacked both sides. he's a tough pope to categorize. he's a tough pope to put in any sort of box. i think the pope is is still beginning to learn more about this pope. an unconventional, and often improvizational pope. he often goes off script. that's what we will be looking for tomorrow and throughout his visit, kelly. >> we are watching, steve, it looks like raul castro is about to make a statement. we will perhaps hear translation coming. we're going to stick with you, steve, because we have no translation yet. we are receiving something now. [speaking foreign language]

>> they are talk building how he is so grateful to welcome the pope to his country. and he's also talking about the sacrifice that has to be made. obviously talking about the history between cuba and the rest of the world and seeing the pope there obviously making a huge impact. let's listen a little more. i'll translate. [speaking foreign language] >> he's talking about the unity and having the pope coming to cuba and the relations that this ties between not only cuba, the united states and the rest of the world.

[speaking foreign language] >> and he is talking about the enormous impact this will have, this visit will have, and cuba being incredibly honored to have a papal visit like this, as steve you have talked about not happening since the 1990s. a huge development for cuba. and certainly sending a large message to the catholic community. as you recall years ago cuba was atheist. the majority, 50% of the cuban population are catholic. catholics have very devout in this country. they have been suppressed for so many years. they are watching this so closely and quite frankly rejoicing. the people this pope will touch while he's in the country of cuba. you saw him touch the heads of a couple of children as he came off the airplane. one little girl appeared to start crying.

this is just such an emotional moment for these people who have lived in s.e.c. seclusion for s. >> the impetus of his visit is a conference on families in philadelphia. so much of this conflict between cuba and the u.s. for 50 years has divided families. that's part of the reason why it is so emotional, why you have such passion on both sides. we have seen families, brothers and sisters, mothers, for the past 50 years and seemingly futile for the last half century. now there seems a reconciliation of moving closer together. and the same actors on the stage who caused much of the pain are still in power and may benefit from recognition from the u.s. and may benefit from a papal

visit. >> steve is, that's the political dynamics and aspects of all of this. as you rightly pointed out, the humanitarian aspect, that's the fact that so many families want to join together again and be able to have those rights to go back and forth to cuba. we're talking about the economic benefits as well, a possible trade with this country. cuba, as you know, has not progressed well under communism, under the castro regime. this might be an opportunity for them to gain some advantage financially for the people who live there. the pope will address various issues like immigration. for example, next week, one of the largest groups of hispanic clergy members will descend on washington. some of them will be with president obama. as the pope addresses that, what faith-based opportunities there might be for immigration reform.

so this pope is not afraid to mix it up with politics as well as bring faith and interject faith into the component of discussing this. >> reporter: kelly, you're right. he is coming at an incredible time to mix it up. he is coming in a u.s. election cycle. certainly it is going to be hard for him to avoid stirring it up quite a bit. you're right also to point out cuba's economic difficulty. they were able to resist making amends for the u.s. for the past 50 years. cuba at this point needs an economic life line. they got help from the soviet union in the '90s. help from venezuela. they are getting help from nobody now and they are running short on cash. in part, the motivation to open up relations with the u.s. is one of basic necessity. cuba needs to open up and needs trade and tourism from the u.s. to stay afloat.

now, the debate is whether this trade will keep a dictatorship afloat or whether it is, as you say, a humanitarian approach, which will help the cuban people. really sharply debated on both sides of the issue, kelly. >> steve, we are going to take a quick break. we ask you to continue to stay tuned as well as our viewers at home as we watch pope francis's worldwide tour take place live on fox. we are watching him here in havana, cuba. he is expected to speak moments from now. we hope to get that on air for you. he will continue his trip to new york city, which we are all anticipated next week, and then on to philadelphia. two countries most recently under the obama administration tried to mend fences. much more to continue right after this break. ♪ have you ever thought, "i could never do that"?

have you ever thought... you just didn't have anything left in the tank? well - you do. because the courage is already inside. after a dvt blood clot.mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again?

i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me.

ask your doctor if it's right for you. announcer: babies who are talked to from the time they're born.. are more likely to have a successful future. talking and reading to children in their first years has a huge impact on what they do with the rest of their lives. the fewer words they hear, the greater their chances of dropping out of school and getting into trouble. talk. read. sing. your words have the power to shape their world. learn more at first5california.com/parents

>> turning to politics now and carlie fiorina. there is a new poll showing her leading in new hampshire. this is a first. the former hewlett-packard ceo taking the top spot at 22%, while donald trump is second at 18%, ben carson in third. so can she keep up the momentum? radio talk show host and fox news contributor and a former staff secretary to bill clinton. thank you both for talking to us. carly fiorina is polling higher than donald trump. how did she get there and does she keep her position? been moving steadily for certainly the last several months. the issue is what i've been telling all the trump supporters. this is very early. this was in the margin of error. things continue to change.

we have until february before the face even matters when you have the first caucus us. this is an indication of the bigger issue here. what it tells the establishment. donald trump wasn't just a black swan and the only thing they needed to worry about. it wasn't a fluke. it is a change in the base of the conservative movement, in the gop base itself. that's what the establishment needs to worry about. for carly fiorina, she needs to see whether or not she can change it into fund-raising, dollars. they had a million on hand the last time we checked. if the gop decides acceptable, that would be a good thing. if you don't, you will see pacs is attacking her in commercials. david, not only did fiorina come out a winner, but she did something most candidates didn't do, she took part in all the issues. i didn't time it.

but it seemed the first entire half was bickering. how do you think she handled herself? >> i think she handled herself very well. at least her candor and directness. she came off as a leader. but i do think, and i agree with tammy on this point. there is a clear message in her ascendancy. she made it to the primetime debate. now made it to the top of the poll. that is a meteoric rise. it reflects the fluidity. we should all be taking a deep breath and say when the voting starts we will see settling in. but as tammy said, that doesn't happen for some time. once the voting starts, we will see people making commitments, voters making commitments. what is happening now is the attacks are will canning. donald trump was attacking not only her position but her very appearance. "new york times" said they think

her statements were. i think the american people are growing tired of the name-calling and the insults. they just want to hear solutions. carly fiorina responding to trump on the topic of russia. first i want to let everyone deal with trump's solution on dealing with vladimir putin. go ahead and play the tape. >> i will get along with putin and i will get along with others and we will have a much more stable, stable world. >> the only answer i heard is you would reach out to vladimir putin. >> i believe i will get along. between that, ukraine, all the other problems. we won't have the kind of problems that our country has right now with russia and many other nations wait right there. now i want you to hear fiorina's response. >> had i met vladimir putin, i

wouldn't talk to him at all. we talked too much. we could rebuild the missile defense problem. we haven't. i will. >> david? >> that is a generality. both of them are taking exactly opposite paths here. i think ms. fiorina's success is shows voters are more hungry for solutions. but donald trump's success has been to tapping into a feeling, emotion, a sense of alienation, more than coming up with a 10-point plan. it hasn't seemed to have hurt his standing terribly. yes, there has been movement in the polls but he still lands on top of the field. i think it will be do you want the 10-point plan. do you want the specifics, or are you satisfied? >> can i chime in? >> please do. >> here's the difference with how women have to communicate in power. when men run there is a presumption they know the details. they're not used to seeing a

woman in this position in this kind of arena. a miami looking to become the most powerful person in the world has to show the american people she knows what he's talking about, she has the plan, she knows the details. >> all right. we have to go. >> that's a great point, tammy. >> and thank you very much for talking. we have to go now to pope francis who is about to take the mike and speak to cuba. [speaking foreign language] >> he is saying, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for being so attentive. he thanks rule castro for inviting him to his nation. [speaking foreign language]

>> he's talking to the cuban government and telling him how grateful and the gratitude that the papal visit means to him personally and being able to have the opportunity to touch ground there and meet with cubans face to face. we'll continue to listen. [speaking foreign language] >> and he continues to say he has the utmost respect for

castro. he thanks him for giving the consideration to the pope to be allowed to come and visit his country and the majority of catholics that continue to reside there. we will continue to follow him. keep it here. we will continue coverage. kelly >> in the meantime, the defense in the bowe bergdahl case as to why the army sergeant left his post in 2009. he will not take the stand. so how is the case likely to go forward? fox news military analyst weighs in. >> and that's the great dynamic in the court-martial yet to come. was this a naive soldier who just wanted to do things right. or was it a cold, calculating young man who intended to put his comrades in harm's way? atch! try alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. they work fast and don't taste chalky.

major news out of the bowe bergdahl court hearing. the soldier at the center of the swap with the taliban. sergeant bergdahl will not be called to testify. let's bring in retired navy captain chuck nash. let's get to the heart of this. at the heart of this, many people want to know, did bowe bergdahl commit an act of desertion which inflicted or caused pain and even death for some of his fellow soldiers? >> that's what this article 32 hearing is all about, kelly. article 32 in the civilian world in the judicial system would be more akin to a preliminary trial before a grand jury. that's where prosecutors, and in this case in article 32, an investigative officer, does an investigation, takes the data

before a panel, the panel will then take a look at it. there is a military judge involved. and they will listen to what he has to say. the defense will present its side of the story. and then the article 32 panel will send its recommendation as to whether there exists enough evidence and cause for a convening authority to establish a court-martial. and that's what we're looking at right now. >> as you know, this had political fallout to it, going back to the day he was released in exchanged for members of the taliban who had been released from guantanamo and sent to qatar. from that point on, it seemed like it was a doomed mission. even though the president said that he wanted to bridge everybody back and this is one he wanted to bring back and not leave on the battle field. >> well, we've had people who have deserted in the past in

previous wars. and we never went and got them back. the question is, did he dessert the members of this platoon? say yes. they say he had been planning this for some period of time. there are two charges that he would be facing possibly were he to go to a general court-martial. one is article 85, which is desertion, which has specific elements that need to be proved. the other is miss behavior in the presence of the enemy -- before the enemy. that has some specifics. >> that is the serious one? >> they are both pretty serious. but the miss behavior before the enemy is the one that would carry the maximum penalty, it could be life in prison. and the particular element of that that falls under article 99 is running away. and i'll read you from the ucmj what the three elements of running away are. that the accused was before or in the presence of the enemy.

>> yeah. >> the accused some miss behaved by running away. >> right. >> and c, the accused intended to avoid combat with the enemy by running away. so the prosecution would have to prove all three of those elements to get that. now, on the desertion charge the bar isn't quite as high. and i think that's probably more likely where if this does go to a general court-martial that's where they will probably get their conviction. >> you spent your entire career in the military as a member of the navy. what do you think? was this a young guy who just got confused, dazed, bewildered and sought the best way out of a situation he didn't want to be in? >> this is a confused young man. based auto the article 32 testimony, they had three of his

commanding officers, his platoon company can, battalion and commanding officer described him as a model soldier until right up to when he did this. when they asked did you know he was mentally discharged from the coast guard? no. did you know an army psychiatrist said he had severe issues? no. so i think part of this is going to be the defense pushing back, saying why did the army put this guy in this position? what's up with that? what's your story for that? now, will that exonerate him? i'm not a lawyer and i'm not going to pretend to be one on television. what i will tell you is the law, if they carry through with the law, is is did you do it? then it becomes what a lot of people question, intent and motive. >> chuck nash, thank you for your perspective. obviously it's a case we will be watching very closely. >> indeed, kelly. thank you. listen up, health experts say the flu vaccine is still the

best way to avoid getting sick. some may question that advice after last year's vaccine failed to protect so many people. so how the cdc is reassuring the public that this year will be a whole lot different. equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping. withof my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis... ordinary objects often seemed... intimidating. doing something simple... meant enduring a lot of pain. if ra is changing your view of everyday things orencia may help. orencia works differently by targeting a source of ra early in the inflammation process. for many, orencia provides long-term relief of ra symptoms. it's helped new ra patients and those not helped enough by other treatments. do not take orencia with another biologic medicine for ra

vaccine. when they say 13% effective, that means cutting down 13% on really severe flu where you would have to go to the doctor's office. this year they are expecting 50% to 60%. to answer your question, here's why. last year there was a bad strain and it mutated, meaning it changed. this year we got it in our radar screen. it was down in south america and asia. they have it in the back seat. it's covered. the prevailing strain is covered. so there is going to be a much, much, much more effective vaccine this year. >> let's talk about who is at most risk of the flu and how old you should be as a patient to get the sack seen. >> the first i want to say, if everybody gets vaccinated, you get immunity. a pregnant woman, a child. you are going to cover them, the whole house will be covered.

25,000 people die every year. more elderly were hospitalized from the flu than any other time on record. pregnant women must get vaccinated. it will cover the pregnant woman and the unborn child. all infants over the age of 6 months should be vaccinated. >> speaking of pregnant women, what are the risks? >> the risks are the flu itself. i call the flu the great enabler. if you get the flu, it knocks down your immune system and then comes bronchitis, pneumonia. the flu knocks you down. if you're elderly, get the flu shot. nursing homes is a place where it starts to take off. if you're health care workers, you must get the flu shot. >> you can get it as young as the age of 6 months. that's something people need to know. our babies need to be vaccinated. >> absolutely. it's a dead virus.

it can give you the flu. you will see a little in flamation. you can take a flu mist. there are many different varieties how you can get it. but get it now. early in the year is the time to get it. >> real quick, universal flu vaccine. it would cover all strains. is it anywhere near the future? >> that's a couple of years away at least. finally had a break through. but three or four years away this year. you will get one flu shot and you will be done. >> let's look forward to that. >> absolutely. >> dr. mark segal, great to see you. we will be right back. >> thanks, julie. through elkhorn ranch, the sudden loss of pasture became a serious problem for a family business. faced with horses that needed feeding and a texas drought that sent hay prices soaring, the owners had to act fast. thankfully, mary miller banks with chase for business. and with greater financial clarity
