destabilizing actions. this large growing response makes it clearer than ever that improved relationship will only be possible if the government changes its behavior. >> 127 countries now expelled at least 151 russian officials. you see the countries this red on this map. united states, canada and actually the process is under way now. yesterday officials at the state department said the russians have one week to pack their bags and get out. the trump administration also ordered the closing of the russian consulate in seattle. russian's top diplomat told the russian mean nadya his country will not toll late what he calls the obnoxiousness and there will be a response. he also accuses the united states of influencing other countries and some are expelling

diplomats because of pressure or as he calls it blackmail. >> translator: they are asking for one or two diplomats to leave this or that country. we know this is as a result of colossal blackmail which is now unfortunately the main tool of washington on international are arena. >> this decision to expel russian diplomats is response to the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter. that happened earlier this month. they are in critical condition. united kingdom blames russia for that attack directly and explicit explicitly. the united states is here to send a message that russia has consequences. the u.s. secretary today said it's pretty obvious russia is behind the poisoning also said they used a weapon of mass destruction. president trump himself has not admonished or criticizeded russians and they repeatedly

denied involvement. rich? >> shep, the number of russians heading home is increase egg. adding to the list. australia, north atlantic treaty organization combined said they are getting rid of more than ten russian diplomats as this continues to expand. what you're hearing from the state department and white house they wanted improved relationship with russia. they tried to work with russia in particular in the trump administration in certain situations around the world but cannot do that if russia continues to be addreggressive these type of arenas, take a listen. >> i did not say they changed their behavior. that's why you see the united states along with 25 other countries step up and take action and why we expect to see another of other countries follow our lead on that front. >> the united states is still eight waiting for an official specific response from the russian government how they will retaliate. they said they are going to retaliate, just figuring out how

to do so. if you look at instances in resent h cent hus /* /- russia mirrors what they've done in the past. u.s. kicked out diplomats in response to the election interferns. they said you have to have as many diplomats in russia as russia has the united states. that was a mirrored response there. you had retaliations as far as sanctions is concerned on the u.s. side. u.s. is very much expecting that type of response from the russian government. shep. >> a real challenge for whoever is the next secretary of state. >> that's right. he could be here right now. the president selected mike pompeo to follow secretary of state rex tillerson here. pompeo arrived an hour ago. close it the situation said he's meeting with top state officials talking about his confirmation hearing that's expected next month. secretary of state rex tillerson tried to improve it.

you heard at the end of his tenure here, a more aggressive tone towards russia. they said they have grown tired going over the same issues one of those is syria. earlier today. nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the united nations voiced her frustration with the russian government particularly on syria. >> cynical accusations of bad faith from russia will not stop us from speaking out. and their blatantly false narratives will not keep us from telling the world about russia's central role in bombing the syrian people into submission. >> the united states criticizes russia for backing the assad regime, for failing to push the assad regime to enforce a cease-fire in that country. a long list of gripes when it comes to the syria. s it goes beyond that. interference in eastern ukraine. that's continued and on top of

that there's election interference throughout the world and including here in the united states with the secretary of state rex tillerson last month told us russia is already showing signs in trying to interfere in the mid term elections here in the u.s. this year. shep? >> rich edison live for us in the state department. there's breaking news on foxnews channel. dow jones moments ago crashed through the 24,000 mark although it's recovered only slightly. now you can see we're below 24,000. the dow had been up hundreds today now off 214. tech sector and retailer. twitter offer 11 percent and falling. breaking news as we're speaking and we'll have much more from corne correspondents at foxnews. >> and the comous white house is

defending the question on citizenship. >> i think it will determine individuals in our country and provide information that allows us to comply with our own laws and procedures. >> supporters say that will help the feds enforce a law that protects minority voters. critics say this is something completely different, that it will actually make the census less accurate because it will intimidate immigrants from responding. they say it's a political move, pure and simple, to give republicans more power in congress. expect a fight and big one on this matter because the government uses a census to determine how many house seats each state gets and how to spend federal funds. new york's attorney general says he's leading a group of 19 states opposing the citizenship question and california is already suing the trump administration over it. anita vogel is live in los angeles. what's the california attorney general saying about this lawsuit, anita? >> reporter: hi, there, shep.

he insists it's inlegal to ask the question about citizenship and will undermine the accuracy of the census as mentioned. particularly in california home to legal and illegal immigrants. here's javier bazarsara. >> we don't take anyone for granted. they all work hard. they all make life better. without each and every person in our state we lose out on the things that we consider precious to our family and lives. >> reporter: legal experts point out the question of citizenship has been asked before in the census. even though individual information is supposed to be kept onfy dengconfidential. at the end of the day people answer what they want to answer. >> i don't think it's illegal to ask the question. it's illegal to get the

impression people have to answer the question. when they come knocking they only force you to answer one thing. how many people live there. >> this is now the 27th lawsuit the state of california filed against the trump administration from issues ranging from daca, the border wall and the environment now the census. shep? >> what are you hearing from supporters on this question on the census? >> yeah. we know the goal of -- we know the census is collected every ten years, and among other things as mentioned at the top, it's used to determine federal funding and number of seats each state has in the house of representati representatives. this morning the department of commerce put out a statement saying it's concerned about the accurate count of the voting age population and protecting minority rights and quote having citizenship data at census block level will give enforcement to

the vra. this will have a chilling effect on immigrants with or without documentation and might end up with failed census result. shep? >> there will be consequences if some states get undercounted. >> yes, some states could get undercounted especially california. that could threaten at least one of california's seats in the house because of the immigrant population here and you can only imagine the political uproar over that. stay tuned for more fireworks. shep? >> anita vogel in the los angeles news hub. thank you. the white house saying again president trump denies he had sex with the adult porn actress stormy daniels and there is, quote, nothing nothing else to add. the porn star accusing attorney michael cohen of calling her a liar. this comes after she told anderson cooper on 60 minutes

that she had sex with mr. trump before he was president and she said a man approached her in las vegas and warned her to stay silent on the matter or something might happen to her. after the interview. the lawyers sent a creaease and desist letter to daniels. cohen admitted he did pay her $130,000 to keep her quiet days before the 2016 presidential election but he and the white house say the president denies that he had sex with the then porn-star. of tray? >> the definition claim goes back to a statement he made to the media in february where he acknowledged he used his owned funds to pay stormy daniels $130,000. cohen said the payment did not mean he was acknowledging there was an affair saying, and i'm quoting here, just because something isn't true, doesn't mean it can't cause you harm or

damage. i will always protect mr. president trutrump. even though that does not accuse stormy daniels of lying about the affair. it alleges he defamed her by implying she lied. the statement is vague enough that it can prove defamation but this amends the initial lawsuit. that's the suit she filed so she could tell her side of the story which she had. the amended complaint said the confidentiality agreement was illegal because trump didn't sign it. here's the white house responding to the various round of stormy daniels questions today. watch. >> when the president has addressed this, we've addressed it extensively. there's just nothing else to add. just because you continue to ask the same question over and over and over again doesn't mean that we have to keep coming up with new themes to say. we've addressed it. we've addressed it extensively and there's nothing new to add

to this conversation. >> the stormy daniels complaint said the $130,000 payment by michael cohen ams to illegal campaign contribution. and watch dog group agrees. it's interesting this new complaint has nothing at all about michael cohen threatening stormy daniels which she intermated on "60 minutes." shep? >> we're watching the markets and they are undecidedly red. the dow came off highs more than 450 points today. what is causing this to have a real effect on your 401(k)? fox business networks are with us next on this tuesday afternoon.

what they can borrow and what they can do. that bite be the case. consumers drive this economy, two-thirds spending, it's all about us and what we want to buy. >> if we don't want to buy -- it's a problem. >> gerri, you're the best. >> thank you. >> also ahead concerns over retribution possibly over russia. moscow is warning payback is coming after countries, clo including the united states, out of countries. what could putin be plotting and what could repair the relationship with russia. repair it? that's next. at heartoftype2.com.

after the united states and several other countries kicked out russian diplomats. the white house said it's payback for moscow's poisoning of a spoformer spy and his daugr in great britain. and said the 60 diplomats the united states is expelling are actually russian spies. let's bring in michael han hanlin. hey, michael. >> glad to be with you. >> why are we letting russian spies in in the first place? >> great question. both guys play the game of turning the other way. when you say spying, it's not like they are necessarily trying to sneak into nuclear submarines at new port news or something. they are trying to develop a picture of how washington works who knows whom. it's old-fashioned generally spying and therefore tolerated

under most circumstances. as you well know. and reporters have been reporting on based on past cases when something go as wry these are easy targets. in some sense it assures there's a path to recovery. why is there legitimacy having these in our country in the first place. it's natural russia retaliates and you hope that's the end of the cycle. we have a much bigger problem that this will do nothing to address by itself. >> there's also a base in seattle. headquarters of sorts in seattle. a console at. what's the significance of that? there's got to be something there. >> there could be a message, which is simply, we just saw you behave. to use some of your, you know, spies, in a very, very violent way in england, killing, or trying to kill, a double agent of your own nationality. therefore, you can't be trusted to have your people walking around our streets. whether we've got sensitive

individuals out in seattle or not. whether there are russians out there that moscow might want to hurt or not. there could be a symbol sis many saying, you're not going to be allowed to stay in our country as trustworthy individuals if you see we're not trustworthy. it could be something specific to seatle that i'm not aware of. >> if we want to send a message to moscow. to send a message to vladimir putin, how important would strong words and just that, from the president be? >> i think president trump struggle was this issue. there's a part of me that has to come to this defense. in the sense that very fuel people do that these days on this issue. i think he's right. we can't let u.s. russia relationship completely fall off the cliff. if we use harsh words from the white house spokesman or secretary of defense, the president himself tries to retain a certain rapport can putin that's not all bad but

everyone can see that president trump doesn't want to talk about the election because the russians were trying to help him and he fears that will be interpreted casting doubt on the legitimacy of his electoral victory. there's both realities. russians did try to help him, but trump also won. and both those facts to my mind are true. but trump has not wanted to accept both of those. one fact sort of returns against the other. so i think at some point he's going to have to be a little clearer himself. the fact he wants to be restrained in his rhetoric, i'm in favor of that. >> we hear from various sources, michael. this is as bad as relations with russia have been for years and years or decades and decades. give us a historical perspective. where are we on this scale, if there is one. >> that's a great question, shep. we're as bad as things have been since let's say the early 1980s.

as gorbachev came to power, he and reagan built up a pretty good rapport quickly. even though the cold war was still ongoing it was hard to think of war between the united states and soviet union. we were helping the afghan troops but things were gradually getting better and they did in the 1'90s and 2000s. but there were no direct military encounters with the two countries. since 2014 things have been worse since the '70s or early '80s. >> michael o'hanlon, great to see you again. thank you. >> thank you, shepherd. >> president trump has been relatively quiet when it comes to the stormy daniels scandal like anything else over the last 24, 48 hours but republicans

have to deal with it. how do they do that? look at the dow. it lost another 8, 9 points. dow on a downward slide. bottom of the hour head lines next.

let's go to fox business network dierdra, how do you address this? >> facebook is the center. one analyst's comment cannot break down an enter stock trade but it's lowering the price target on facebook fort second time in five days. i think this shows a larger pressure on facebook, of course. we've ben talking about the challenges that the company has ahead, and facebook, we have to say, is affecting trade for the rest of the text sector. as we've seen all of these push and pull sessions, shep, even going back to mid february, right where we saw that two week absolutely brutal sell-off. you had tech which was already a silver lining, but sometimes we t fell along the rest of the market but fell less. now facebook under fire. it's shifting for that stock and

shifting for tech overall. you were talking about entity us and investigations that have come out or developing for facebook but there's even one extra one as of today. in fact, face book and cambridge analytica is being sued by cook county and encompasses chicago and other area, this is a specific lawsuit, the first of its kind, saying both of these companies facebook and cambridge analytica misused data they scraped from social media. the suit said both companies violated state fraud laws. so, that's a pretty heavy charge, and if the ceo mark zuckerberg does go to capitol hill and testify on april 10th, you can believe he's going to have to field a lot of questions not necessarily about that particular lawsuit but that is going to be the spirit of the conversation with those congressional subcommittees and of course, as you know, facebook also now subject to its second

ftc investigation since the year 2011. so, if facebook violated what it already agreed to as far as protecting our privacy back in 2011 you got to keep adding on the millions of dollars of fines facebook has to pay. shep? >> diedra bolton giving you the power. and you heard the president deny again he had sex with stormy daniels. the president has not said much of anything but the white house said it. sarah sanders referring other questions to the president's personal attorney. let's head to jesse burns, associate editor for the hill. >> hey, shep. >> they've kept him out of cameras. is that by design, do we know? >> the white house said it responded extensively to the stormy daniels allegations from the "60 minutes" interview. trump has not responded to

these. it's remarkable to see from the white house podium sanders saying he doesn't always counterpunch when trump is outspoken on anything. any kind of criticism. of course he'll fire off a tweet or respond. he has not responded in person or directly to the stormy daniels allegations. >> are respecs expected to hear anything from him? >> he has not responded. we've seen two different white house spokes people come occupant and say the president denied in alleged affair but of course the president himself not saying anything about it and we don't have an indication yet that he will. >> this matter of a census, the census was established in an effort to count who is here so they can figure out how to appropriate. simple things. over the years we added questions for political reasons or others. the question is, are you a

citizen. the idea is, if you roo he choir people to say whether you're a citizen or not then a lot of people won't get counted at all. that will be on the surface, less fair. what's your reporting on this? >> i think it's important to understand that if the commerce department were to go ahead with this in 2020 to require this question to be asked if t would be breaking 70 years of precedent under republican and democrat administration. while it has been included in a smaller surveys for the census, it has not been included since 1950. i think you're seeing questions primarily from democrats in states across the country warning it could impact accuracy of this data and could impact federal funding that's being sent not only to blue states but red states that have major cities with hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants and federal funding being cut off because these

populations are under represented and therefore they think they don't need as much funding. >> some critics said this is part of a pattern, gerrymandering on behalf of the last time you were able to draw, which the republicans and now suppress counting, critics would say an effort to suppress votes. what's the reporting on this. what's the nuclear louse on this? >> they cited the 1975 voting rights act saying if they include this question they will be able to enforce this and be able to protect minority populations more. activists who have been involved in pushing for more representation for undocumented immigrant the or other minority populations across the country say the opposite, that this will impede that. i think you're seeing even last month there were nearly 20 democratic attorneys generals from across the country warning

that if the administration did this they would take some type of legal action. now we're seeing that play out. the question will this come about in 2020, we don't know yet but i think a lot of people that advocate for the population protected under the voting rights act are opposed to this move. >> definitely gives them something to fight about. jesse byrnes, appreciate it. >> several years ago the governor off arizona was all in to driverless technology. opening up the roads. now he's ordered uber to completely stop testing self-driving vehicles after a deadly crash. the question is, is that the right move? we'll update you on that. the dow jones industrial average, nasdaq off 3 percent, sepp off 1.8 percent. we wait for coverage.

the fbi reports agents and officers arrested a man suspected of sending explosive pack annuals to military bases in and around washington, d.c. officials say they intercepted about a dozen of those packages yesterday and thankfully nobody got hurt. but investigators say the suspect may have mailed other destructive devices that they have not yet found. agents arrests that suspect in his home in washington state. he's said to appear in federal

court today. so far we don't have a word on a motive. there will be no charges filed against two white police officers who shot and killed a black man celling cds outside a convenience store in baton ro e rouge, lounge. the shooting of alton shooting in 2016 was reasonable, unjustifiabunjusand justifiable. the attorney general said the officers tried to use a taser but sterling, the suspect, kept resisting and they thought he was reaching for a gun when they shot him. >> this decision was not taken lightly. we came to this conclusion at the countless hours of reviewing the evidence. i know this family is hurting. i know that they may not agree with this decision. >> and they do not. sterling's relatives say they have never agreed with this ruling and they plan to hold elected officials accountable.

>> we're not going to get answers until we change the people who are in office. we don't need a bunch of marches or a bunch of burning buildings. what we need is a bunch of burning people with burning hearts to replace people that are not doing their jobs. >> sterling's family filed a lawsuit against the baton rouge police department last year claiming a shooting fit a pattern there of racism and excessive force. former boss of larry nassar, the sports director accused of sexually assaulting dozens of girls and young women is now also charged as part of that investigation. at a court hearing, a former michigan state dean, william strample mishandled complaints and he also sexually pressured female students and had picture of naked students on his

computer. more than 100 women and girls accused nassar of sexual assault including members of u.s. women's olympics gymnastics team. arizona suspending out tests of uber self driving cars after one of the cars hit a woman last week and killed her. along with all of this, there has been an investigation that's opened. you wonder how far it will go. what do we see? >> investigation is still ongoing but arizona's governor this morning released a statement saying uber failed to meet safety expectations, primarily due to the police released last week shows moments just before the collision. this video shows the woman was in the middle of the road unfortunately and whether or not a human driver would have stopped is relevant -- >> or would have seen her. >> right. but the uber technology is supposed to be able to see that.

also disturbing was the scene inside the car. it raises questions about safety drivers he. it appears that she looks down for about five seconds just before the impact. >> hmm. >> now, uber released a statement saying we proactively suspended self driving operations in all city immediately following the tragic incident last week. we continue to help investigators in any way we can and will keep a dialogue open with the governor's office to address any concerns they have. this is more video of scenes from right after the accident. investigators ex-, like i said, are still looking in. they have not said uber was at fault. but the company that creates the anti-collision technology told bloomberg this morning that they believe the software had been turned off in that vehicle just before the crash. >> oh, wow. >> now, uber declined to comment to bloomberg on this so we have to wait and see what

investigators say at the end of all of this. >> future on trial. good to see you thank you. a live look at the dow before we get to a quick commercial break. dow up 440 points. 1.8 percent. nasdaq off significantly more and s&p 500 in that area ahead. ahead round and round the space station goes. where it comes down, nobody knows. an abandoned chinese outpost set to crash to earth within days. where? great question. that's next. you could simulate exhilaration or you can experience it for real, at the lexus command performance sales event. current qualified lexus owners can get up to $1,000 cash on select 2018 is models for these terms. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

the defense secretary said it does look kim jong-un visited china but he doesn't know for sure. the spokesperson said she cannot
