arthel: bipartisan calls for an investigation into the train derailment that spilled toxic chemicals into a small ohio community. the crash and controlled burn of poisons forced thousands in east palestine to flee their homes, and now more than two weeks later some are still wary of coming back. hello and welcome to "fox news live." i'm arthel neville. hi, eric. eric: hello, everyone, i'm eric shawn. the norfolk southern railroad operated that train. that company now facing demands for a congressional investigation over this

disaster. the epa says it has not detected any contaminants in the town's drinking water and says tests have shown the air is safe to breathe. but, you know, many residents in east palestine and other nearby towns, they're concerned about the potential long-term health effects. >> this town is going to need long-termest thing -- term testing. there's a lot of people who don't want to stay and really can't blame them. a major concern for me would definitely be the water. i think they should have dredged the creeks that are going out because, you know, it's spreading into other communities. arthel: garrett tenney is live in east palestine, ohio, with the very latest. garrett? >> reporter: yeah, arthel, that is such a tough question that a lot of folks are naysing now. -- facing no. with so much uncertainty about what the future of this town looks like, do we stay or do we go? to answer that question, it's going to take some answers, and some of those answers are going to take time.

well, today the a delegation of state lawmakers is here in town trying to see what they can do to get some of of those answers, meeting with local leaders and response officials for an update on what is being done to clean up the toxic chemicals that spilled into east palestine. this comes a day after the ceo of norfolk southern railway came to town with this message for folks who live here: >> this has been devastating to this community. and i, i want to make sure you understand i am terribly sorry that this happened to the community. norfolk southern is fully committed to doing what's right for this community. finish. >> reporter: the railway has said it is here for the long haul and won't leave until everything, the air, the water and the soil is cleaned up from its disaster. most residents we've spoken to though don't believe that'll actually happen and as soon as all of the cameras are gone, the railway will start to leave as well. mayor trent conway said he is going to hold the ceo accountable.

>> we have to hold him to it. right now we're believing but, you know, for one second he doesn't do that, we'll be right on the bully pulpit saying, hey, everybody come back, and we'll show you what they did to our town. >> reporter: and we've also learned that a team from the department of health and human services will be opening up one clinic downtown as well as a mobile clinic that will be able to go around to homes to be able to give folks -- get folks who live here tested and, hopefully, some of the answers as to why people are getting sick despite data suggesting that the air and water are safe. arthel? arthel: i'm sure that will provide some answers, some relief on a level to the residents to figure out what's wrong with me. garrett tenney live there in east palestine, ohio, or thank you. thanks, garrett. and just ahead, we're going to the speak with dr. marc siegel about the potential long-term health effects of the chemical spill. ♪ eric: meanwhile, secretary of state antony blinken met face to the face yesterday in munich

with his chinese counterpart, the chinese foreign minister. this, the first time since the u.s. shot down that chinese spy balloon two weeks ago. it comes as lawmakers question why the u.s. has called off the search for two other objects shot down, one over alaska, the other over lake huron last weekend. they say one could be a balloon from an illinois hobby club. they track their balloons around the globe, and that club hasn't heard from their balloon since the shootdown. david spunt live from the white house with more. >> reporter: good afternoon. then if you add in the one shot over the yukon territory of canada, that adds in number four. so four shot down, we know that the only one recovered in part is that chinese spy balloon. according to senior administration officials, there is a belief that the other three had no ties to china or any enemy nations. canada suspended the search to recover one over the yukon territory, but this gives you kind of an idea of where these different objects were shot down

in the month of february. here's white house spokesman john kirby this morning. >> we've called off now the search in lake huron and the one over alaska, so we may never know completely. but the leading intelligence community assessment is that they were probably for benign purposes, whether it's weather, commercial, scientisttism the research. >> >> reporter: president biden says he plans to speak to chinese president xi jinping, although we're told by blinken members of the delegation did not apologize and appear to be spinning the story. enter they're lying about balloon the same way they've lied about can covid. and it's it's time for us to stop being reactionary to china and start actually being aggressive and letting china know what we expect of them. >> reporter: meanwhile, president biden here at the white house today, he will leave tomorrow evening for poland to mark the grim one-year anniversary of the war in

ukraine. secretary blinken says he made it clear to his counterpart that china's help to russia is unacceptable. >> china has been engaged in providing rhetorical, political, diplomatic support to russia. but we have information that gives us concern that that they are considering providing lethal support to russia in the war against ukraine. and it was important for me to share very clearly with my counterpart that this would be a serious problem. >> reporter: according to administration officials right now, eric, there are no plans for president biden to the physically cross the border into ukraine when he is over in eastern europe. eric in. eric: we'll be looking forward to his speech on tuesday. david spunt at the white house, thank you. arthel? >> reporter: you're welcome. arthel: eric and david, thank you. for more, let's bring in jamil jaffer, founder and executive director of the national security institute and former associate white house counsel to president george w. bush. so, jamil, sticks and stones may

break my bones, but names will never hurt me. are these empty words? is he hearing secretary blinken's strong admonition? >> you know, it's a great question, arthel. i think one of the challenges that we're facing here is that the chinese keep slowly upping and upping the ante in the conflict with russia. early on they declared their no-limits partnership, now they're providing flak jackets and helmets, and we believe -- and now according to secretary blinken -- they're going to start providing lethal aid. that's a huge problem. arthel: so the u.s. will compete with china, but we don't want a confrontation with china. so how should the u.s. handle china? >> well, look, if china continues to behave in bad with ways towards our friends and partners in the region like taiwan, like japan, like australia, continues building militarized islands, continues supplying equipment to the russians in their illegal war in ukraine, we have to extract bigger and bigger penalties.

sanctions eventually are not going to be enough, we've got to go further, and the biden administration has to demonstrate to china we will stand by taiwan and our friends and partners in the region as well as around the globe. arthel: but when you say we've got to go further, what does that mean? >> well, at a minimum, arthel, i think that means starting to move forces into position forward there in the region, in the indo-pacific, making clear to the chinese that it won't take us forever to get there, we will be there, we'll be present and ready to respond to any chinese aggression in the region. and as we continue to up our aid to the ukrainians, we should provide them with the fighter jets and the long-range missiles they need to win this war with russia notwithstanding any chinese support. arthel: well, secretary blinken says china would, quote, cross that line with legal aid to russia. let's listen to that. >> we see china considering this. we've not seen them cross that line. so i think it's important that we make clear, as i did this evening in my meeting, that this

is something that is a deep concern to us, and i made clear the importance of not crossing that line and the fact that it would have serious consequences in our relationship, something that we do not need. arthel: yeah. so, jamil, a, does this strengthen the need for fully committed and quick support for ukraine or, b, is china bluffing or being outright reckless and defiant? >> well, look, i mean, that's hard to know. we'll find out more as the cays go forward. but certainly, it is critical for the allies to heed president zelenskyy's call for the speeding up of aid, provide those tanks that we've said we're going to provide them and, frankly, start the upping the aid that the supreme allied commander in europe has now said to u.s. lawmakers is necessary which includes those fighter jets and long-range attack missiles. arthel: we keep talking about it, and you hear president zelenskyy begging.

he goes, speed, speed is what i need right now, make it fast, get it to me now, you know? i need this equipment as russia is, you know, pulling people out of prisons, off the streets, whatever you can to put them on the front line. he doesn't care about their lives. >> that's exactly right, arthel. the problem here, of course, is that we've said repeatedly that we're going to give the ukrainians weapons, we slow-roll it. it took us a year to finally bet to the point where we're providing tanks. we said we weren't going to provide them before, now it's okay to provide them. frankly, if we had provided this kind of weaponry today, arthel, we might have stayed off this war, ukraine could have won it faster. the slow leak of weapons does not help our points against the chinese against taiwan and the like as they threaten those nations. the world is watching, and we appear weak and irresolute every time we say we're not going to do something, then we eke it out. now is the time to fully get behind the ukrainians and allow them to ultimately get to a negotiated solution that

protects ukraine's sovereignty. arthel: finally, why is president xi standing by putin? >> well, look, i think that he sees a successful russian incursion in ukraine as demonstrative of the fact that the allies won't really respond effectively in a way that the allows their adversary, the side that's being invaded, to win. he sees this in a lot of ways as a test case for taiwan and to see whether the u.s. will do what it takes to defend taiwan, and what he sees as the answer to that question is, no. arthel: jamil jaffer, thank you very much for joining us. a take care. >> thanks, arthel. arthel: eric? eric: arthel and jamil, memphis police are searching for people of interest many in connection to a shooting that wounded 11 people in two separate locations early this morning. officers first arrived at the scene at a local nightclub called live lounge, and they found multiple victims with gunshot wounds. officers then heard about another shooting less than a

mile away. one man was killed in the gunfire, five others reported to be in critical condition. we see standing by charles watson who has the very latest on this incident. man, more gunfire in memphis. charles? >> reporter: yeah. you mentioned it, memphis police department says those shootings happened at two separate scenes that are within a mile of each other. in total, 11 victims were shot, 1 is confirmed dead, 5 others currently in critical condition. investigators say the remaining victims who were, who had less serious injuries were released from area hospitals at some point this morning. meantime, police is have released the photos of three persons of interest. you can see the individuals there on your screen. police say they'd like to talk to these guys about those shootings and say one of the individuals may have been injure ared and may be in need of medical attention. the shootings in question, eric, happened in the white haven section of memphis. officers fist responded to reports of shooting at the address the of an establishment

tennessee, eric. eric: all right, charles. charles watson in our southeast bureau in atlanta, thank you. arthel? ♪ arthel: well, charles and eric, prosecutors say the suspect in the killing of a police officer near philadelphia last night will be charged with murder. investigators say the temple university police officer was trying to stop a carjacking when he was shot multiple times. the 18-year-old suspect was arrested this morning. alexis mcadams joins us live now with the latest details. >> reporter: hi, arthel. yeah, there's been a lot of crime in philadelphia and a lot of crime existence police officers just in the past few months here. investigators say in this case the teen gunman shot this officer right in the head. now we're learning more about that fallen hero killed in the line of duty. this is a photo of that police officer, he works for the temple university. he's a police officer there. christopher david the fitzgerald shot and killed saturday night. family and friends sharing that photo on a gofundme page that they say will help raise money

arthel: prayers are pouring in for former president jimmy carter who is now urn hospice care at his georgia home. today people have been stopping by at the carter center in atlanta to pay tribute to the 39th president and reflect on his legacy. jonathan serrie is live in carter's hometown of plains, georgia. jonathan? >> reporter: hi, arthel. the carter center says the

former president is moving to home hospice care with the full support of his family and his medical team. carter's grandson jason, who formerly is served as a georgia state senator, tweeted on saturday: i saw both of my grandparents yesterday. they are at peace and, as always, their home is full of love. and a spokesperson for the secret service tweeting: rest easy, mr. president. we will be forever by your side. back in 2015 mr. carter underwent treatment for melling know ma that that had spread to his liver and brain. a devout christian, carter continued to teach sunday school and explained to congregants and visitors that he was perfectly at ease with whatever comes, but he responded well to treatment at the time and was actually able to resume his active schedule that included international travel, the work on habitat for humanity building projects. he also continued to work through his atlanta-based nonprofit the carter center which he founded with his wife

in 1982. they were working on providing election monitoring services around the world and promoting global health initiatives. one of their center's proudest accomplishments is helping to reduce the number of guinea worm infections in developing countries from an annual 3.5 million human cases in the mid 1980 to just 14 cases reported worldwide over the course of 2021. mr. carter once said that his goal was to see the last guinea worm in the world die before he did, and it appears he is very close to realizing that goal as he writes what most people believe is the final chapter of a very long and very productive life. arthel? arthel: peace and love to president carter and his family. jonathan serrie, thank you. eric? eric: our thoughts and prayers are with the former president and his family. well, now back to our top story,

it is the damage and the blowback now from that massive train derailment and chemical spill in ohio and the concerns down river over the effects of that. you know, the spill and the toxic fire to avoid a potential tanker car explosion forced thousands of people in east palestine to evacuate their homes. officials say testing shows the water and the air are clean and safe to come back to, but some residents who have returned have reported that they're suffering from rashes, headaches, sore throats and other respiratory symptoms. others are plainly refusing to go back saying they're worried about the financial long-term effects of what they may have been exposed to. ohio senator sherrod brown says those families do have a right to be concerned. >> senator brown, you were just there this week on thursday. should the residents of east palestine accept the reassurances from the government, or are they right to be skeptical? >> well, they're right to be skeptical. the epa administrator when i was

there, both the state and the federal epa administrators, said that but when you return to your home, we think the water's safe, but when you return to your home, you should be testedded again for your water and your soil and your air not to mention those that have their own wells. eric: so what are the health effects? dr. marc siegel is here now, professor of medicine at nyu langone medical center and, of course, fox news contributor. dr. marc, always good to she see you, are these concerns justified? >> great to be with you. their concerns are justified. i want to talk about some things that haven't hit the news yet really. one is anxiety. not only are people obviously anxious because they don't know to what extent they're being exposed to chemicals, but on top of that, the nurses' health study in 0 the 15 off the harvard -- 20 the 15 showed of 71,000 nurses studied shows people exposed to environmental

toxins get anxious from the toxins themselves. so you talked about irritation to the eyes, to the skin, to the lungs if you have underlying lung disease, you can get asthma attacks from this. on top of that, there's anxiety. now, what chemicals are we talking about? there's been a lot of discussion the about vinyl chloride, and initially vinyl chloride can cause those effects, can cause makes, but it also can break down to hydrogen chloride which also can cause irritation to the eyes, to the lungs, headaches. but i'll tell you one that no one's talked about enough, which is dye i don't cares sins. eric, when vinyl chloride breaks down into the soil, you getty ox sins. the long-term risk of breast cancer, long-term risks of developmental delays in children, long-term risks of reproductive problems. so they've got to be testing the soil for dioxins in addition to these other chemicals. eric: remember what happened back in the '70s and '80s about that. the stories we're hearing from people saying, okay, the water,

the tap water is safe because it doesn't come from that creek, it comes from municipal supplies, yet people say, look, they had this film and this dust over their cars, over the ground, and you track that stuff in your house when you go in your house. how do they know all that is safe or not? >> they don't. and when the epa has come on fox, actually, and said, you know, we tested 500 homes, well, but there's thousands of homes that haven't beenest thed. and, by the way, some of the chemicals have been found in the water. another toxic chemical, we don't know to what extent that's a carcinogen, but that was involved also in this catastrophe, and that can cause irritation to the eyes, that has been found in the water. some of the tributaries have been shown, you know, to have some of these chemicals. so i don't know, you know, to what extent this is, how extensive this is. but clearly the feds have to be more involved. i know fema is now getting involved.

a lot of criticism has been why weren't they involved from the get go. eric: also, you may not live there exactly, but the plume, apparently, and the effects go down river like in huntington, west virginia. they were following concern following some of the chemicals through the river, through that. so you may not live there. you could potentially be affected even if you live 40, 50 miles and even more away. how do you know potentially if you should have any precautions? who do you call and how do you check that out? >> well, the epa has to be who you call and, again, fema -- also pittsburgh is only about 50 miles away. and i think that, you know, one of the things that hasn't been talked about either is the issue of poverty. you know, people can't necessarily afford to leave their homes, or if they leave their homes, they don't know where to stay. and this is a definite issue of socioeconomic disadvantage. so this needs more government involvement. this has got to be a swoop in, clean up, check everything and

continue to do it for years because, everything, some of the things -- eric, some of the things i'm talking about last for years. it's prolongs exposure that gives you cancer. you could get exposed to vinyl chloride in a brief period of time, that's not the issue unless you had an enormous exposure which is not the case here. but if you continue to be the exposed to it in the environment for years, your cancer risk goes up, liver cancer, blood cancer, multiple cancers. eric: so finally, do you think there'll be long-term tests that the government along with the railroad, others will set up to have long-term health monitoring the of everybody? >> eric, the government has been poor on this. i want you to know that there's been 5,000 derailments over the past 10 years leading to some kind of spill, chemical or oil. all over our country. and it's not something we're very good at. this is getting a lot of attention the. this is one of the worst in history, but i think we have to rethink exactly what we're

putting on a train, where we're bringing it and what kind of supervision it has before these disasters happen. and when they happen, huge investigations have to occur. eric: dr. marc siegel, certainly we hope that the authorities are on it. good to see you, marc. thank you. >> great to see you, eric, always. thank you. arthel: good stuff, dr. marc. all right. well, eric, the 2020 race is already heating up after nikki haley launched her campaign. now there's a lot of speculation about who will be next. we'll take a look at potential field and the front-runners, that's coming up. ♪ 2a's monitoring his money with a simple text. like what you see abe? yes! 2b's covered with zero overdraft fees when he overdraws his account by fifty bucks or less. and 2c, well, she's not going to let a lost card get her stressed. am i right? that's right. that's because these neighbors all have chase.

news sunday" with shannon bream. haley officially kicked off her campaign last week, and she and the former president are the only declared candidates so far, but the field is expected to get quite crowded with the former vice president and the florida governor among others expected to jump in. let's bring in now kaylee mcghee white, washington examiner's deputy editor of restoring america. i want to start where shannon bream left off. is nikki haley taking the right tactic? >> it depends on what she wants out of an early campaign announcement. you know, this is part of the strategy, either entering early or entering later. i think what nikki haley is trying to accomplish by getting into the race so early is she's trying to build name recognition and get a head start on fund raising. but, obviously, the downside to entering the race early is what shannon was saying. at some point she's going to have to touch the elephant in the room which is donald trump. there's no avoiding. that he's the only other

candidate in this race, and the question is whether she's going to be willing to take him head on or whether she's going to keep trying to avoid that question and just sort of focus on herself here. arthel: can she tap into herself? her bio, that is? when she was the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. under the trump administration and still separate herself from the former president? >> i'm sure she'll rely a lot on her record of, you know, sort of negotiating with trump and saying what she meant to his face. that was something that she prided herself on when she was the united nations ambassador. but the fact is he's going to start throwing some mud at her. we've already seen that he has been. he launched an attack on her as soon as she announced, and that's only going to become more exaggerated in the days to come. so her response is really going to be key whether she's going to be the able to take the attacks in stride and continue to maintain a wholesome focus on the campaign at large, or if she's going to take him on personal hi as well. personally as well.

arthel: well, she's stepping onto the trail as a togetherness candidate. so will nikki haley have to put forth a platform though, and how soon will she have to step out on issues? >> well, she should be doing that as soon as possible, and really any other republican candidate who hopes to enter this race should be thinking long and hard about the policy priorities that they would like to bring into the race. there are going to be a number of economic issues that republican candidates have to talk about including social security and medicare which trump has already ruled out touching. there are going to be a number of cultural issues that republican candidates are going to have to talk about. is so this is sort of a thing for the gop as a whole to start thinking about, is what is the next party platform, how are we going to win back the voters that we didn't manage to win during the midterm election. it's going to be a big race, and our ability to put forward a platform that attracts voters across the aisle -- independents, swing voters -- that's going to be the key to success. arthel: i want to get a quick

answer because i want to move to a poll, but will she lean on foreign policy, foreign relations experience? >> she certainly should. it's a strength of hers, and i think especially after the past couple of years with the biden administration, voters are looking for someone with experience on foreign policy. arthel: so now, kaylee, i want to look at this quinnipiac poll of 2024 prospective candidates, this is according to voter party id. republican and leaning republican. trump, 48%, 24%. desantis, 31%, 50%. haley, 4%, 7%. pence, 3 and 5%. pompeo with, 4 and 4%. does nikki haley have political staying power in this 200 the presidential race -- 2020 presidential racesome. >> i don't think she does. and to be honest, this is sort of what we've seen. we've seen this with every hypothetical primary lineup up until this point, desantis is the only one who carries any weight next to donald trump. and so this is what i would advise candidates who are

considering entering the 2024 race: enter the race, make the field as big as you can. let's have a competition, a debate over these ideas, but coso with the understanding that if you want to beat donald trump and if the party wants to move on from him as the next leader, there needs to be an understanding that they are going to need to drop out and rally around the most viable candidate. right now that's desantis. that could change. it's still a long ways away. but certainly, there needs to be some sort of agreement entering into this race. arthel: all right. kaylee mcghee white, thank you very much. >> thank you. arthel: eric? eric: arthel, police in los angeles now investigating the death of a catholic bishop in a suburban home. they call it a homicide. we'll have more on the shocking chuting -- shooting case straight ahead here on "fox news live." ♪ ♪ helping them achieve financial freedom.
