in syria, reports of more shelling by military forces in the city of homs. neighboring jordan is setting up a refugee camp, a possible sign that the situation is getting worse by the day. dominic is streaming live from beirut, lebanon. >> concern not just about the increased selling but activists say there talking about large numbers of government troops surrounding the city now. they are worried if those troops ground troops start to move in soon, they could end up with what they are calling a potential slaughter in the city. that would be a dramatic turn of events. but killing continues across the whole country, activists saying at least 14 people killed, half of those to government forces. we can't independently verify

those figures but the regime is under increasing pressure of isolation. egyptian ambassador was pulled out of lebanon to make more isolation and on top of that, refugee crisis, jordan rushing to build a refugee camp south of syrian border and influx will add to international pressure. u.n. figures and government figures are saying people are getting away from the violence. >> gregg: a trademark dispute is heating up big time between apple and a company in china, that company is asking custom officials importing and exporting ipads while authorities in chinese cities are seizing the ipads themselves. ipads are made in china. here now is anchor of "bulls and

bears", brenda butner. >> a registered trademark for ipad way back in 2001. apple is saying, that may be true, but we bought the right three years ago from a affiliate? >> a grand total, $55,000. that is like buying manhattan. >> gregg: a scant $55,000 for all that. >> so they are coming back and saying you owe us money. basically they want a settlement. the problem is that, yes, a court may agree with pro view but this is china. this may be very political because apple provides hundreds of thousands of jobs. >> gregg: more than a million actually so the chinese desperately need that? >> yes, so does apple.

>> their court system run independently? >> absolutely. so politically in this will be a huge issue and they are going to move in at some point. >> gregg: i think it's going to happen before wednesday. already pro view is banned from the exchanges because they are so insolvent and there a court hearing so something has to be done. >> i think so. even in the united states this issue usually a settlement would happen. i don't know how much apple will have to give but you have in one corner this small debt ridden company going up against this huge, 800 pound gorrilla. >> apple can write a ten million dollar check like that. it's a drop in the bucket. >> yeah, they don't want to lose, but it's their ipad. they have placed so many eggs to keep throwing out too these

cliches, so many manufacturing eggs in one basket in china, there is a danger to that. >> gregg: everybody gets their worldwide out of china. so if they shut down distribution it could be devastating. >> china realizes that. so i think pro view is going to get a much bigger check than $55,000. >> gregg: it's interesting this isn't the first time. cisco systems had a trademark for iphones back in 2007. they went against apple? >> there was undisclosed settlement. it happens very often here in the united states. there is no guilt admitted. >> and it's distinguished for trademark squatters that buy you up names and extort money from the companies? >> yes, absolutely. so something is going to happen.

you'll be able to buy ipads but it is interesting to watch and it does let you know that china, though, clearly talks about being a capitalist country still has huge communist foundations. >> gregg: it certainly does. >> heather: professional boxers taking it to the streets. a fight even before they get in the ring. this is a brawl you've got to see to believe. >> gregg: compelling testimony in the case of a man accused of killing his wife teen that watson, drowned on her honeymoon. it shows her lying on the sea floor. why witnesses say the husband's story does not at up. >> americans taking part in the pope's mass, celebration may be short-lived. a new debate about religious freedom brewing at home. >> it's a great day for new york.

lauren green joins us with more. this really was a beautiful ceremony, looking at the sea of red and purple at vatican square was remarkable. when will they the return home. >> they will return tuesday or wednesday. the whole church will celebrate in new york city. o'brien, he will have to replace him but the focus really is on timothy dolan, there has never been an interest in benedict's time because of the show that has come with the obama administration over affordable care act and mandate. now, archbishop dolan will have the platform and prestige to take on the president in this showdown. its high stake showdown, they're

not going to back down and administration and obama administration is saying, they think it's a settled deal. bishops are saying no. >> heather: you had the opportunity to sit down with cardinal dolan and speak with him a couple weeks ago? >> this was actually in november. ahead of the annual meeting. the at that point, are you going to take obama to the woodshed, with the creation of ad hoc committee on religious freedom with political platform, it sounds like you are going to take obama to the woodshed. oh, i don't have to. now, when i think back on the interview, i'm thinking he was prepared to do it and he will be prepared to do it. that is what we're seeing right now. >> heather: initially he had come out i wouldn't say in support of the compromise, but then later came out and said, the fight is not over. >> you have to read the fine point.

they weren't quick to say we gotten like it. he wants to look at i. he wants to believe that president believes that freedom of religion is sack co-sank. but no, not so good. >> but that is what they are backing off right now. >> heather: do you think cardinal dolan will use this platform that he now has to reach across the spectrum in terms of other religious organizations and the fight as it extend to them in the united states. >> i think it's been happening. in 2008 it was proposition 8, at that time they had consortium but that is still there. the idea of this mandate has more to do with religious freedom. one of the fights they are having with the red flag word, obama used a few years ago which is the freedom of worship. that is very different from

freedom of religion. you are free to do within the walls of your own church but don't take it out in the public square. that is why the church is fighting so hard. >> heather: pope benedict, 85 years old. there have been rumblings that cardinal dolan for pope. >> there has never been an american bishop who has had more buzz about being the next pope. it would be an almost slim to none chance but the fact, there is something about this cardinal that says he has the ear of everybody. he is favor of pope benedict. he has meteor i can rise, being appointed archbishop of new york and now a cardinal. is it possible?

i see, one journalist, you are going to nominate a cowboy for the pope? it would be interesting. >> heather: we have had a cowboy for president. it could happen. we appreciate it. great insight. >> gregg: riveting testimony in the honeymoon killer in alabama. involving the tragic death of tina watson, a young woman drowned 11 days after her wedding. you see her lifeless body highlighted in the water photograph. her husband on trial now for capital murder. elizabeth joins us with atlanta with details. >> good to see you. prosecutors say dave watson turned off his wife's oxygen, they were scuba diving allowed her to die and then turned it back on and then he swum to safety. he thought he was getting a

travel insurance policy on his bride. they called witnesses to told the jury they saw dave embracing tina underwater, like he was giving her a big hug. they thought he was helping her when they were separated and she started sinking. one fellow diver had this to say to watson when he got out of the boat safely. >> i got angry like i'm getting angry now. i apologize to the court i said [ bleep ]. >> reporter: watson has served 18 months in prison in australia for manslaughter charge. defense claiming there was a number of factors there was very strong current, the dive was too dangerous for tina, first open water dive. they say she panicked underwater. she lost control and she drowned on her own. they also say she had too much weight on her belt which

explains why she sank to the bottom. hearing from both attorneys friday afternoon. listen here. >> all these others seem to have great things to say about dave watson he was an inexperienced diver and was terrible accident. >> they are entitled to their opinion, but our view is just the opposite. our witnesses helped us. >> reporter: there is a international rule on double jeopardy. state of alabama has the burden of proof. they have to prove that he premeditated and planned the murder before they left their for their honeymoon which was back in 2003. >> gregg: that would only give them jurisdiction, he has since remarried to a woman who looks identical to tina watson. it's a bit eerie.

>> heather: incredible video emerging of a brawl between boxers outside the ring. chairs flying at a news conference in germany yesterday. british boxer and his entourage get into an it with his friends. he was detained by police and later released. before this melee, russian fighter's reaction. >> he shot shoot first. he went too far

>> heather: you know you think the fighting is going to take place in the ring there. >> gregg: it never does. it reminds you of the rocky movie where he went up against the russians. he is very tall. >> heather: he exactly. >> gregg: rocky 24.

whitney houston laid to rest in a private ceremony in new jersey she was laid next to her father. she was just 48 years old. stirring regime forces clamping down on the capital city of damascus after pro assad troops opened fire on opposition group. more sable rattling in iran, beginning a new round of ground exercises, this as the u.s. dispatches a top advisor to israel to talk about the threats from tehran. >> gregg: on the campaign trail, now mitt romney is on the attack going after g.o.p. rival rick santorum accusing him of falsely claiming to be a fiscal conservative. check out this new ad from restore our future. super pac supporting mitt zblomz

how did rick santorum vote? she voted to raise the debt limit five times and for billions in waste projects including the bridge to nowhere. in single sessions, santorum co-sponsored 51 bills to increase spending and zero to cut spending. >> gregg: joining us live ford con el. also joins us alexis mcgill johnson. good to have you both. let me start with you. a lot of think tanks and political groups have studied santorum's record. cato institute which is a libertarian think tank, said, santorum never met an earmark he didn't like. taxpayers for common sense which tracks the earmarks themselves, says santorum secured at least $1 billion in earmarks. for growth, describes his fiscal record as mixed while the american conservative union gave

santorum a lower conservative rating than gingrich or ron paul based on their voting record. so in truth, is romney's attack on santorum not only accurate but fair? >> well, i don't want to be in the position to be apologist for rick santorum, but i'm given the fact he was representing a very center left. i'm sure his fiscal record.... >> gregg: are you saying he had to pander moderates and liberals in a industrial state? >> yeah. if you look at national taxpayer union, i believe they actually graded him pretty fairly. when you take that context, when you take that into an context. larger issue is his social record. i think that the more that

santorum continues to talk, the more he is going to alien yate the general public. >> gregg: i want to focus on the fiscal stuff. ford, i actually took a look at santorum's voting record. he voted against right to work. he voted for no child left mind, medicare part "d", raising the minimum wage, raising the debt ceiling and numerous earmarks, in fact not long ago i'm proud of earmarks. is santorum's true record belie his claim he is a fiscal conservative? >> no, because perfection is a mix in politics. there are holes in his record, but this isn't about records. it's about mitt romney. >> gregg: those are pretty big holes i just identified? >> they are holes but they are still better than president obama. frankly it's really about mitt romney because mitt romney has

not given fiscal conservatives a reason to vote for him. right now they are backing santorum, how could santorum be rising in the polls when his campaign doesn't have two pennies to rub together and his campaign is in the back of van. >> gregg: alexis, the reason we're talking about earmarks, very important among conservatives and tea party members. to be fair here mitt royz himself supported earmarks under his leadership as governor, he saw tens of millions in earmarks for transportation projects, that is verified including jim mcgovern. romney administration was crystal clear on earmarks and they sent us a letter specifically asking for money to be earmarked for projects. so, is romney hypocritical on this subject? >> i don't know where romney is

on anything. i think that is part of the challenge of what ford was saying, why so few of the g.o.p. base won him in. here you have the sense that romney has the capability spending $2 million in michigan and mostly negative ads. anybody coming up against him is going to be superman one day and back to clark kent the next. they are all over the place. >> gregg: ford what about electability. it's true that santorum may lead now in many of the national polls, but if you look really closely, republican voters still overwhelmingly view mitt romney as the candidate to defeat president obama. that is according to the "new york times" poll out couple days out. how does santorum and this goes to alexis' point, how does he

swing voters and independents especially on his conservative stance on social issues. >> two ways, you win the catholic vote you win ohio. you show mitt romney's weakness. president obama is focusing on rick santorum for two reasons, he knows he wants to win re-election he has to win the majority of the catholic vote. right now rick santorum is resonating with mainstream message and catholics are listening. >> gregg: you did want to bring up the issue of social issues, its good one. santorum, sometimes utters controversial remarks, women in the workplace, condemned as sexist. his comments on homosexuality still haunt him. the black people remark which he denies and then yesterday his statement about president obama's, quote, phony theology, he spends a lot of time

backtracking, denying or explaining. do democrats view him as a loose canon and would they welcome his candidacy as a result of that? >> of course. when you look at the numbers who the president romney versus santorum, overwhelmingly beating santorum and gingrich and paul by huge margins, he is beating romney, as well. i think the latest of what santorum said, i take personal sense who is eight months pregnant, that prenatal testing is bad investment by the government. i think that catholics are obviously going to be a huge vote within the g.o.p. primary. independent women are really going to define where the general election is going to turn. so i think the fact he is alienating woman is going to be a huge issue for him. >> gregg: you look beautiful for eight months pregnant.

alexis, thanks so much for joining us, ford, great to see you. >> thank you, gregg. >> heather: ford looks great to. >> gregg: yeah, but he is not pregnant. >> heather: revealing the best and worst presidents in the last 32 years and one president that appears on both lists. we'll tell you who up next. ld se for the first wee.. i'm like...yeah, ok... little did i know that one week later i wasn't smoking.

theology not based on the bible. >> if you make comments like that, comments that are well over the line. i think this g.o.p. primary is in many cases, its race to the bottom. >> heather: let's bring in our power panel, t.k.mcfarland and host of fox news live. judith miller, investigative reporter and jehmu greene, former president of the women's media center. thank you all for joining us. as we said at the very top. just to add what santorum said. he did clarify later, he was not questioning president obama's christianity or his lack thereof but says there are lots of stripes of christianity. quote, he is imposing his values on the church and i think that is wrong. that was a clarification from santorum. regardless, did he get in the

thick of things of it? >> he did. it started last week, a speech came out that he made few years, he called 45 million protestants not christian enough. this is another in a series of really bad misstatements. to be fair, on multiple occasions he is not questioning president obama's christianity. but i agree santorum's intolerant comments disqualify him from being president. the president of united states should not be in the business of deciding whose theology is correct and who is not. >> absolutely. when you have to explain the comments it's safe to assume that misfired. he does this again and again and again. as greg calls him the moralizer in chief. these personal attacks really

degrade but the entire field. i think they do nothing but give support for obama who does not engage in that kind of thing. it's something that santorum, he can't seem to help himself. i think it's very sad and inappropriate. >> heather: should something be said for the fact, we know where he stands. we know what he believes and he stands by it and he makes no apologies for it? >> i don't care if he is a jew or atheist, forget it. if he believes in big state socialism. if he believes in free market capitalism. i don't think it belongs in the church, i don't think it belongs in the bathroom. i don't think it belongs in the bedroom. >> heather: it's shifting the focus when we all know the focus right now and what is important to voters is the economy and jobs. >> he prefers not to talk about that.

he prefers to talk about the social issues, personal issues, religious issues because that is where he feels comfortable. >> i say it's not that i don't feel those important but economy is in everyone's mind. >> more of the focus is on social issues but i'm also a little bit of afraid what i feel like is a movement in direction where our elected officials are supposed to be subservient to religious leaders. that is what they do in iran. >> i don't think anyone is saying that. >> i wouldn't go that far. >> heather: another topic, lawmakers raising concerns about the threat posed by home-grown terrorists following the arrests of kaliki in washington, d.c. f.b.i. says that kalisi, he planned to blow himself up inside the u.s. capitol

building. k.t., home-grown terrorism. threat is inkree creasing. >> this is someone who was in the united states illegally. he is not a u.s. citizen. >> heather: he was here for 12 years. >> we in the united states have reassured we're not going to have the same proble in great britain, where they have first and second generation and become radicalized. we have seen it in europe, as well. we don't have that problem. when you come to america, you get assimilated by second generation and first generation, you are hanging out at the mall or playing soccer. this is the new wave of terrorism and it's going to be problem. >> that is what you can't see coming. he doesn't have a network or financial support group you can track. >> i written about this for "the

washington post" a lot this trend was first identified by nypd, they wrote a paper about it. f.b.i. was listening it and even thousand they were l not call this trend islamic extremism, it's home-grown extremism, we went from having one of these cases in 2005 to 12 cases by 2010. this is exactly where this movement is going. i think the nypd who is now being criticized by the associated press where young muslims are, tended to be radical and where the extremists are coming from, they are being criticized by the associated press, i say congratulations to the nypd. we have been terror free in new york since 9/11 and they deserve thousands of cops keeping crime down. congratulations.

this is definitely a trend to worry about. >> i think everybody can agree we have to be vigilant. but we also have to balance it with a sense of proportion, singling out one ethnic group in one way is absolutely unamerican. when you look at the thousands of home-grown terrorist cases, a small fraction has come from the muslim community. when i hear representative --. [ talking over each other ] >> 93 out of thousands of cases. >> no, i said we have to be vigilant going after home-grown terrorists but simply focus on muslims. peter king is he going to hold another round of hearings, it's unamerican to focus on one religious group. >> would you call him an islamic

extremist? >> i'm talking about a bigger picture, peter king hearings, this is multifaceted problem but by only approaching it focusing on muslims. >> a lot of hatred with american muslims that contribute as citizens. >> heather: that does have to be final word. we appreciate. stay right here. we have more ahead for our panel. a poll that ranks the presidents over the last 40 years and, the best and worst.

higher but gas prices are skyrocketing upward. is the economic recovery real? or an illusion? >> but first, a fox news alert. a deadly avalanche killing at least two people in washington state. sheriff's officials are reporting that at least two people are dead and another eight people are missing. it's in an area called stevens pass. that's in the cascade mountains. that's about 90 miles east of seattle. happened just after noon local time. deputies say the deaths occurred in an out of bounds area near a popular ski resort. at the northwest weather and avalanche center had issued a warning for high avalanche danger for areas about 5,000 feet. however, the elevation of this avalanche was not immediately clear. and there's no word on the details of any search for those missing but we will keep you posted on this story as it develops.

>> race for the white house is entering what you might call a critical phase right now. three of the four republican candidates for president making the rounds on the sunday talk shows. meanwhile, pressures are on mounting on mitt romney to win next week's primary in his home state of michigan. if he cannot, well, it raises the possibility of a contested or brokered convention down the line. that's what happens when candidates fail to obtain a majority of delegates. 1,144 needed to secure the nomination. republicans last experienced a full blown brokered convention in 1948 although it was pretty close to that in 1976. national correspondent steve centanni is live in washington with more on this unprecedented g.o.p. race. steve? >> it is. it's a tight race and it's ever changing. the g.o.p. campaign hitting the airwaves this morning. with rick santorum being grilled on controversial statements he made yesterday in ohio, santorum then said president obama has a different theology, one not

based on the bible. he explained today he wasn't questioning the president's christian faith but was talking about environmental policy. >> the man is here to use the resources and use them wisely, to care for the earth and be a steward of the earth. we're not here to serve the earth. the earth is not the objective. man is the objective. and i think a lot of radical -- a lot of radical environmentalists have it upside down. >> former speaker newt gingrich seized on mitt romney's difficulty winning voters in his own home state of michigan. here's newt gingrich. >> if any of the three of us loses our home state, santorum loses pennsylvania, romney loses michigan and i lose georgia you have a badly weakened candidacy. i was home campaigning the last two days precisely to say to all my friend back home, georgia really matters. we cannot take this for granted. >> gingrich also said that under president obama there's going to be less american oil production and higher gas prices.

his comments come as "the new york times" reports republicans are preparing to use gas prices as a major campaign issue in the coming months. and candidate ron paul saying today, he's prepared to take his campaign all the way to the convention in august, if necessary. romney had no events or television appearances today. gregg? >> steve centanni live in washington. thanks. fox news is america's election headquarters. keep it here for more of newt gingrich's interview on "fox news sunday" tonight at 6:00 p.m. eastern time. >> right now, several new developments unfolding in iran. the country's revolutionary guard announcing two days of military exercises. this as international concerns mount over tehran's controversial nuclear program. doug mcelway had more for us from washington. >> the latest developments add to the uncertainty of iran's behavior. their latest maneuver, announced just this morning, halting oil exports to britain and france. this, in apparent retaliation to the e.u.'s decision to boycott

iranian oil exports. all this weekend, iranian naval ships moved through the suez canal into the mediterranean sea for only the second time since the islamic revolution of 1979. and new war games in iran today designed to defend the country from external threats. in other developments, israeli defense minister baraq endorsed sanctions against iran but called for them to be ratcheted up. >> this should be done determiningly and in a conclusive manner and urgently. >> ambassador john bolton suggested barak's moderate tone should not be mistaken for lack of resolve. >> i think barak is trying to play it safe and he doesn't want to tip israel's hand. he is the defense minister. i think he'll talk more like a foreign minister than a defense minister for the foreseeable future. >> the u.s. has been trying to pressure israel not to attack iran emphasizing the need to let

sanctions take their course. the u.s. believes iran is still about a year away from developing a bomb. but israel believes the critical time to act, disrupt the key stage of uranium enrichment is only months away. heather? >> and what does all this tough talk mean for iran and its defeated nuke program? we will ask international security expert jim walsh when he joins us a little bit later in the hour. gregg? >> to iraq now where a homicide bomber blows up a car outside a packed police station in baghdad. 18 people died in the blast and two dozen more were injured. all of them were either police officers or recruits. this is just the latest in a series of strikes on iraqi security by insurgents who are intent on destablizing the country. >> the situation on the ground in syria going from bad to all out desperate. the slaughter continues. new reports of shortages of vital medical supplies and food in some of the hardest hit areas and now, neighboring jordan

setting up refugee camps fearing a mass exodus into their country. world affairs contributor is streaming live for us from neighboring beirut, lebanon. dominick? >> heather, you know, the jordanians say they're at least 30,000 refugees that have left syria, not only over its borders but other borders as well. some million dollars they're spending on this camp alone indicates just the scale of the refugee crisis they are anticipating. combination of bad weather and also just people unable to move around the country because it's so unsafe. yet, actually leading to the true crisis they are actually anticipating. the violence people are trying to escape, more examples of that in the city of homs itself, government troops surround the city with greater numbers. activists inside the city say there will be a massacre in the city if more troops move in. casualty numbers, about 14 across the country so far and

those numbers can go up. it's difficult for us to find out these numbers and the video you're seeing is from a reliable source. all the same, in damascus, further tension there. the government yesterday still reeling from that massive protest that took them by surprise. they opened fire in crowds yesterday killing one, that individual a young protester buried today and tight security, they're very, very worried. there could be further large protests and 15,000 like yesterday that could indicate just the scale of the opposition the government is facing on its home ground in the government quarters just as we saw yesterday. but they are still suffering from further international isolation. egypt is pulling its ambassador out and the wealthy elite, the people who have supported him this long is beginning to defect because international sanctions are really kicking in. heather? >> they work. thank you very much. streaming live for us in beirut,

lebanon. thank you, dominick. >> north korea sending a harsh warning to its neighbor to the south threatening to attack south korea over their plans for new military drills near the disputed seaboarder but south korea saying it will go ahead with those maneuvers tomorrow. the north warning they'll consider it "a reckless military provocation and respond mercilessly." they conducted similar drills and north korea responded with a massive bombardment that killed four south koreans. >> new york archbishop timothy dolan is officially elevated to cardinal. the pope leading all the new cardinals in sunday mass today at st. peter's basilica. a cardinal, by the way, is the most senior rank in the catholic church behind the pope. yesterday, the pontiff presented each of the 22 new members with the iconic red hat during a big ceremony. among them, two americans. timothy cardinal dolan in new

york and edwin cardinal o'brien of baltimore. cardinals, of course, have a lot of responsibilities. one of them is choosing a new pope. >> some giant clothing retailers may now be jilting you, the american consumer. and courting chinese shoppers instead. the gap closing 21% of its u.s. stores and preparing to open a huge four story outlet in hong kong. abercrombie & fitch and wal-mart are following suit to capitalize on china's flourishing economy. what does this mean to the u.s. economy? casey siegel is live in los angeles. these companies may think it helps their bottom lines and it might but it certainly doesn't help america's unemployment figures. >> yeah, gregg, it doesn't help the unemployment figures but it is certainly good to beef up those companies' profits and they say the analysts that that was -- that actually will help the american economy. it's a little tricky. let me explain it first. why they're going to china. china is the world's fastest

growing consumer market and the fashion market in particular is expected to triple in the next decade and u.s. retailers, the ones that are doing well and not doing so well see china as the golden opportunity because the national retail association says that 300 million chinese entered the middle class recently and that means there's demand for middle of the road, affordable retail experiences similar to what we have here. so think of those discount stores like wal-mart and shops at your local mall like forever 21 and the discount fashion chain, they just recently opened a store in hong kong last month and has two plans for china by year's end. >> we opened four or five years ago in both korea and japan. it's a natural evolution for us to go into china which given the size of china, the growth of

china appears to be a very attractive market. >> now, the appetite for foreign goods in china is nothing new, by the way, the demand for high end european fashion brands has been steadily increasing. a report from broker firm csla suggests by 2015, the chinese luxury market will grow twice as fast as the rest of the retail industry which itself will likely swell 11% each year. but here's where it is crucial. keep in mind that just because these companies are expanding in foreign countries like china, they are still american companies meaning the profits come back to our own u.s. economy. listen. >> by the end of the day, the profits, they will come back to the united states which means they can reinvest it in the united states which means provide a lot of benefits to the u.s. economy. >> but the expansion does not

come without controversy and gregg, you were just talking about that because the retailer gap, for example, plans to triple its network in china by the end of the year, that means it's closing about 200 stores here in america and, of course, that translates into u.s. job losses. so there is a little bit of a debate going on here. should we be sending more money from the goods that are sold in the foreign countries and bring it back here to the united states or would it come at the cost of jobs? >> if you're the management of an american company, your first duty is to the shareholders and the bottom line so as sad as it is, got to do it, i suppose. good to see you. thanks. >> carnivale fever taking over brazil this weekend. take a look at these 50,000 people gathering in rio for the annual street party. flocking to hundreds of block parties and cramming into designated areas to watch elaborate parades and people

dressed like birds. fancy dancers and musicians march through the streets. all the evens leading up to the city's iconic carnival parade. >> i was there back in 1985. wow, what a party that was for 10 days. >> were you dressed like a bird? >> the goal back then, not among guys really, was to wear the least amount of clothing. yeah, for the women. >> ok. >> for the men, of course, that is -- >> i want to know what you were wearing. >> i was fully clothed. >> no you tube back in the day. >> yeah. thank god for that! we've heard it before. the economy is heading into a recovery. but will a fragile comeback be doused by high gasoline prices? >> researchers claiming a medical breakthrough in the fight against cancer. a pill in your medicine cabinet might stop spreading the disease. is that true?

>> welcome back. time for a check of the day's top stories. a powerful car blast killing 18 people and wounding 27 in baghdad today. the homicide bomber targeting a crowd of police recruits as they left their academy. powerful testimony in the so-called honeymoon killer trial is sent away in alabama, he's accused of killing his wife during a trip in australia.

watson swam to her but then let her go. the couple had been married just 11 days and in italy, lawyers for survivors of that capsized costa concordia cruise ship want some new drug tests on the cruise ship's captain. their demand prompted by reports that traces of cocaine were found on a hair sample. >> well, the protests turning very ugly yet again in greece. there you see it. demonstrators clashing with riot police outside of greece's parliament in athens protesting against a mix of wage cuts and national layoffs as greece's government struggles to avoid bankruptcy. greece's prime minister slated to meet with other prime ministers over a multibillion dollar proposed bailout deal tomorrow. >> good news for the u.s. economy. but don't count your eggs just yet.

unemployment claims dropped by some 13,000 last week. that is, in fact, the best showing since the president took office. the dow is inching higher as companies bring some jobs back to the u.s. but we all remember the obama administration's so-called recovery summer of 2010. that never really materialized so is this recovery for real? senior business correspondent and anchor of "bulls & bears" brenda buttner joins us and she can tell us is this for real? >> you know, i mean, there's -- economists have three hands, right? on the one hand and on the other hand and then there's the one in the middle, you know, it's hard to know. there are pros and cons to it but this has been the most prolonged severe recession we've seen since the great depression and so any comparison of a recovery to any past recessions that we have seen really support the right way to look at it. >> it's like apples and oranges.

>> it really is, and not only that. not apples and oranges, i mean, cherry pits or something horrible. the truth is this has been so prolonged and severe and if we went like this in the recession, the recovery just kind of like this, it's barely making it. it's very tepid. and we are really facing a lot of problems with this recovery, number one, gas prices are going up and that could really hurt this -- this recovery. >> some places are already up to $5 a gallon in some places. >> yeah, and it's at a high right now for this time of year. now, that alone could -- could take this kind of tepid recovery and swing it back into recession if it continues for a while. so our growth rate is nothing at this point. this is caused by debt, by government debt, by bank debt and by the bursting of a

balloon. and unless we can get the government spending and the government debt under control, nothing is going to basically happen and certainly, we haven't seen that. >> and what about the situation in europe? also? >> that's a huge problem. and it mirrors in many ways what's happening here. i mean, we -- on a worst scale, we're seeing in greece, these protests over austerity measures, over pensions, over work weeks. now, i have to, you know, give a lot of credit to many states who can't print money because they're being forced to cut the salaries and the pensions very painfully to many, many people who had been hoping to have them. it's painful. it's difficult. but they're doing it. and what we're seeing in greece on a much larger scale, what we are start to go do here. but if they're not able to do that overseas, we could again

see ourselves slip into recession as well. >> so we go back to positives that we mentioned at the top of the segment. when we talk about the unemployment numbers, there's still all of those folks who left the work force, who weren't in the work force, who just gave up. >> uh-huh. >> so we have to account for that. so really, is that any better either? >> well, that's so-called underemployment rate when you count people who are working part time, would rather be working full time. >> underemployed or have given up. >> yes. but even that is coming down. i mean, there are some positives, you know, it is coming down but we're still above 8%. that is nowhere near full employment which would be near, you know, 5% or 4%. we really have got to come down in terms of employment because that is the key to income because that's the key to consumers and we haven't even started talking about the housing market. >> ok. we'll have to save that for another day. thank you so much.

bulls & bears for that. >> popular beach resort, police finding more human remains. but is this an isolated case or will it lead police to a serial killer? we'll have a live report on that investigation now. >> and new developments, and get this, taking to the streets. this time doing a little cleaning up.

>> rescue crews are heading to the scene of a deadly avalanche in washington state. sheriff's officials are now confirming three people at least are dead. eight others are missing. it's an area called stevens pass. there's the map. it's in the cascade mountains. it's about 90 miles east of seattle happening just after noon local time there. deputies say the deaths occurred in an out of bounds area close to a popular ski resort. the northwest weather and avalanche center has issued a

warning for high av large danger in that region. above areas, well, above 5,000 feet. we don't know the elevation, though, of this avalanche. no word on the details of the search for any of those who are missing. we're going to keep you posted on this story as we get details. >> meantime, it is the bottom of the hour, that means it's time for the top of the news. singer whitney houston laid to rest in a private ceremony in new jersey. yesterday, her funeral was held in the church where she sang in the choir as a child. and egypt is withdrawing its ambassador from syria over the bloodshed there. violence in syria is reportedly getting worse by the day as opposition forces are battling troops loyal to the president and israel launching an air strike on gaza in retaliation for the rocket attacks. the israeli strike hitting a workshop. >> iran doing a major

about-face when it comes to nuclear talks. iran's foreign minister now saying his nation will participate in talks with the six world powers in turkey but the news comes along with reports that iran's program has almost expanded at a point where it can create nuclear weapons. jim walsh is an international security expert with the m.i.t. security studies program. jim, always good to talk to you. let's talk about these talks in turkey first. is this futile or meaningful? >> that remains to be seen. if you had asked me a month ago, i think i would have been fairly pessimistic about the outcome. the u.s. doesn't trust iran. iran doesn't trust the u.s. there are elections in both countries, domestic problems in both countries but with all the talk about air strikes, potential israeli military strikes against iran, and the sanctions having a bite in iran, i actually think that these -- you know, there's -- my confidence has increased. i'm still not an optimist.

i'm more cautious than i am optimistic but i think they're -- this is as good a shot as we will have had in the past several years to actually have a real negotiation. >> now, unnamed senior diplomatic officials are revealing that iran is poised for a huge nuclear jump greatly expanding their uranium enrichment at the fortified underground bunker and the centrifuges there are already running at up to 20% and now, according to these sources, can be reconfigured to make weapons grade material in a very short period of time. what's your reaction to that? >> i read that report and he's a good reporter. i think he may have gotten some things wrong here. they do have centrifuges that are enriching at 20%. you're absolutely right about that. a lot of this is based on iranian announcements and my experience over 10 years tells me take every iranian

announcement with a grain of salt if not a shaker of salt. they said back in the summer that they would be installing advanced centrifuges into this facility and it's february and they still haven't done it. so are they making progress? yes. should we expect that they'll make progress? two steps forward, one step backward. yes. but there's not a game changer today and the good news about this, the most important thing is ieae, the atomic energy agency is there on the ground in that underground site. they're going to issue their quarterly report very soon. and we're going to know what's going on there. if they make a move to try to upgrade the centrifuges and produce 90% enriched uranium, we're going to know that. >> that invites the question, wait a minute, if they are allowing the nuclear inspectors there at one of their most important facilities, then how is it that they could otherwise be hiding their nuclear program? >> you know, i think it's tough.

i mean, you never know what you don't know, right? but iran is the most watched country in the world. i mean, north korea would be the most watched but it's, you know, it's a whole different animal so iran really ranks number one here. and ieae is on the ground with video monitors, with sensors watching, you know, aggressively every move they make. so could they have some other facility? yeah, but, you know, every time they've had a facility, we figured it out and knew about it in advance so i think the quality of information is actually pretty good. >> we do know that tom donalin, the top security aide for the president has arrived in tel aviv and he's in talks there. are we sending a message either through him or somebody else telling the israelis not to engage in a tactical strike? >> oh, yeah. oh, yeah. we are definitely sending that message. we've been sending it. we continue to send it. we will send it in the future.

not only is the head there, we had a chairman of the joint chiefs of staff issue a similar statement today. we had the most recently retired head of the joint chiefs of staff, you know, this is our -- america's highest ranked military official saying no, we shouldn't -- there's been a steady chorus of officials and why is that? because certainly, in my discussions with people in washington, there's a real fear that israel will take a strike sometime in the spring. >> all right. well, that might deter the program or delay it at the very least but look, there are many members of congress who suspect that president barack obama not withstanding his insistence that he will never allow iran to have nuclear weapons has every intention of tolerating a nuclear capable iran with an ability to strike with nuclear weapons. what do you think? >> well, i think we have to draw a big line here and i know there's a lot of confusion around this concept between the capability and a bomb program. you know, lots of countries have

the capability. germany, japan, brazil, you know, on and on, but because they have a centrifuge, because they understand how to enrich uranium, they have in theory the capability and in fact, our own intelligence community in that report at the end of january said iran already has that because they know how to build the centrifuge. but the question is their intention to build the bomb and it's the judgment that they have not made that decision and therefore, it's reversible so we want to put them on a different path so they don't head towards the bomb. >> jim walsh, we always learn so much talking to you. thank you very much for taking the time to be with us. good to see you. >> thank you, gregg. have a good weekend. >> you, too. >> they are one of the biggest names on the web. and three u.s. congressmen think they might be spying on you. lawmakers now pushing the federal trade commission to investigate google over claims that the search engine is spying on its users. according to "the wall street journal", google used special

coding apparently to track people's behavior on their computers and their iphones. democratic congressman edward marky, republicans joe barton and chris barnes believe that google's coding may violate a privacy settlement with the ftc. each violation could cost up to $16,000 per day, google, though, they say they have disabled the coding. the murder mystery deepens in a tranquil suburb of eastern long island, new york, more human remains have been found near a beach in suffolk county, an area known notoriously as a dumping ground for bodies. and the question is are the latest findings an isolated case or the work of a serial killer who has eluded justice for years? anna has the latest from our new york city newsroom. hi, anna. >> we apologize. we clearly have some audio problems.

we'll try to get to that report with anna in a moment. well, in the meantime, we are not used to seeing occupiers doing very much cleaning. but that's exactly what's happening in oakland, california, part of the occupy oakland group has begun cleaning up streets after their many protests there. this comes in the wake of past protests in oakland that turned quite ugly. in one case, resulting in hundreds of arrests at oakland's convention center. >> sensational murder trial in the hands of a jury this week. it is the case of the virginia college student who denies killing his girlfriend. what issues are the jurors considering? our legal panel weighs in. up next. at the age where you don't get thrown by curveballs. ♪ this is the age of knowing how to get things done. so, why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex.

latest. >> hi there, heather. a suffolk county inspector says it's too early to tell if these human remains are related to the other sets found in the area. it adds to mysterious events going on in the eastern end of long island. a man walking his dog made the discovery around 6:30 on friday night. he says it was an entire body but it looked like the corpse had decomposed years ago because trees were growing up through it. >> i probably walked by it hundreds of times before. i looked a little closer and, you know, went from there to discover it was human remains. >> police say the state the remains were in suggests the body was dumped five years ago. they are bringing in experts to help determine that information as well as the age, gender and identity of the person. >> the department has brought in a forensic anthropologist from the chief medical examiner's office in new york city to help evaluate the remains and assist the suffolk

county crime lab with the removal. >> the area has been used as a dumping ground before. the remains of two men were discovered in the same wooded area in 2000 and 2003. manorville was also the place where someone dumped pieces of two dismembered women along with eight other corpses beside a long stretch of beach highway. one of those women whose bodies was partially found in the area has been identified as a 20-year-old new york city woman by the name of jessica taylor. her torso was found about four miles away from the site of friday's discovery. heather, back to you. >> also, a child's remains found in that area. definitely disturbing news. we appreciate it. gregg? >> jury deliberations beginning this week in the murder trial of a former college lacrosse player. george hugley is facing life in prison accuse of killing his ex-girlfrie ex-girlfriend. prosecutors say he stormed into her apartment where he beat her to death in a violent rage. defense says hugley went to talk

to her that night and not to kill her. joining us is live is bob massi, fox news legal analyst. prosecutors, top count is felony murder which is someone is murdered during the course of a felony in this case stealing her computer. doesn't that strike you as overreaching given what we know about the evidence in the case. >> it does for a number of reasons. first of all, people are outraged about this case. they should be. a person is dead here. the question becomes what is he responsible for? i think there's a reasonable view of the evidence that would suggest this is a crime of passion. and it was a crime not of malice but something suggestive of a person who is jealous. a person who is enraged and the person is highly upset. as a result of that, he goes to confront his girlfriend. as a result of what happens in that particular apartment, she ends up dead. with it, that he premeditated it? that's the question the jury will have to ask. what was in his head at the

time? was it, as the defense is suggesting, simply an accident that resulted in her death? >> you know what, bob? in this particular case, the defense is saying look, the guy was a drunk. he was a serious alcoholic. he went over there and he just for whatever reason, he lost control and they're pleading with the jury for involuntary manslaughter which is not planning premeditation, it's not malice. it's just sort of recklessness resulting in death. what do you think of that? >> you know, interesting, gregg, i checked virginia law today and by definition they don't define the elements of voluntary or involuntary manslaughter and they rely on the common law that you just talked about in case law. obviously, the problem is apparently there were some e-mails that this guy sent which is the intent behind him taking that computer to delete it. he broke in, into the door so that's a burglary potentially, right? you have a breaking and entering. that's a felony. so i think that the only thing they do have under virginia law,

if they show that he was so drunk and so intoxicated that he didn't have the wherewithall to understand it, that is their big argument, best argument. >> i think what the jury will -- go ahead, i'm sorry. >> go ahead, bob. >> i was going to say i think what the jury is really going to focus on, if i was a juror, is was this a robbery? if it flows from that, you got felony murder. >> you know what, joey? as the prosecutor appropriately pointed out to the jury, being drunk is not an excuse to a crime. it's not an excuse to a murder. but it helps to explain the circumstances and can be a mitigating factor, true? >> exactly. no, that is absolutely the case and it helps to establish what his mindset was at the time. now, to say that it was a robbery, let's be clear about it. did he take a computer? absolutely, he did. but it would seem to me, gregg, that was more suggestive of an after thought than it was -- he didn't go to the apartment intending to rob her. >> what about the breaking and entering that bob bought up? that's a felony, too. >> the breaking and entering could be classified as a felony but ultimately it comes back to

the murder and was it a murder? it was certainly a homicide. she died. i think the question is for the jury, they're going to come back with something. there's no question. but the main focus is going to be what was in his mind? did he go there to kill her or did he go there because he was outraged and she died as a result of his conduct at the time. >> bob, one of the notes that they found inside yardly's apartment was from the defendant in which and i'll quote it, alcohol is ruining my life. i'm scared to know that i can get that drunk to the point where i cannot control how i act. that's an important piece of evidence, isn't it? >> it is. but it shows the co-dependency, the addiction and obviously that goes to the defense's argument that this guy didn't understand and not cognizant of what he was doing and that's interesting. the other thing if you remember that doctor yesterday, i believe, or it was yesterday, testified that he did not believe the cause of death was from a trauma so not only do we

have the issues that joey has brought out, we're given the causation here, was it causation? he testified it was some kind of affixation. it was not as a result of a trauma. that raises the cause of death issue. >> joey, how could medical examiners not be able to distinguish or agree on the cause of death? there's a huge difference between asphyxiation, smothering somebody and head trauma. >> it's -- there's a huge difference and you know, gregg, bob knows, it happens in every case or i'm overstating it a bit but there's always medical disagreement and in this particular case, the prosecution is saying blunt trauma! and in this case, the defense is saying no, it couldn't have been because the blood wasn't bleeding and there wasn't blood in the brain so therefore, it was asphyxiation as a result of her not being able to move because of the condition he was in at her hand so i think that goes to the issue again of what his intent was. did he contribute to her death? yes, did he cause it? separate question. >> wait and see. bob and joey jackson, two of the best, thanks for being with us. >> thanks, gregg.

>> the fight against cancer using something you might have

in your medicine chest? >> yes, group of researchers finding that aspirin can actually keep some cancer cells from spreading. he is a senior attending physician of emergency medicine at st. barnabas hospital and joins us now with more on this. thanks for joining us first of all. >> thanks, heather and gregg for having me. >> the new information here is that it keeps cancerous cells tumors from spreading. >> what aspirin does is it's part of a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that reduce inflammation and what they found is that cancer cells have a trigger that dilates or causes inflammation in the lymphatic system, opening up those lymphatic channels allowing the cancer cells to spread throughout the body and mestasize. aspirin has been shown to decrease this inflammation closing down these highways and preventing the cancer cells from spreading. >> cancer cells and tumors are runaway cells, right? >> yes, cancer cells are definitely runaway cells. what they do is multiply at a much faster rapid rate and

create tumor tissue that's unchecked by the body's normal regulatory mechanisms. >> so aspirin can shut down the die lakes and thus inhibit the spread. >> yes, it can. >> the spread of all types of cancer? >> that's what they're looking at now. the initial research just looks at the tumor cells and lymphatic effects of aspirin. i'm sure they're going to try to look at it from all across the board at every type of cancer. >> problem is a lot of people can't really tolerate aspirin, right? it causes all kinds of intestinal stomach problems. >> it can. and they've developed other types of aspirins that are actually they call them coated aspirins that dissolve down further along in the digestive track. you have to have this discussion with your physician. if you have ulcers or other types of bleeding issues, he may not want you on a certain aspirin regimen that you may want to pop one every day. >> that leads into my next question, what could be the negative side effects of this, if any? >> well, bleeding is usually one of the side effects that occur with aspirin, stomach and

gastrointestinal irritation, the exciting thing about it, though, is this is a common everyday medication that's been around for many years and if it proves to be as strong as they see the link initially, it could be a huge boom for people who have had cancer. >> you know, people who take, for example, statin drugs, lipitor and so forth, they recommend a baby aspirin to go anning lot with it. is that equally as useful in terms of cancer cells? >> the reason they're recommending taking a daily aspirin is the more cardiovascular effects that it has. those effects have been extrapolated over with the cancer therapy and they're looking to see if they can utilize that in the same way. i take one every day, too. >> what are the effects? why do that? >> because basically when you take them for cardiovascular issues, it things your blood out and allows platelets to be less sticky. >> ok. >> also, what about things like regular exercise? are there things that we can do beyond medication?

>> all those things that we normally think of, proper diet and exercise, vitamins, exercise, maintaining a positive outlook. all those things reduce the inflammation in the body generally. and allow us to be healthier. inflammation is the culprit and whether we do it naturally by all those means or help ourselves along by taking aspirin, i think all of them work together as well. >> doctor, thanks so much for being with us. >> thanks. having been 15 years now cancer free myself, i mean, it's exciting new breakthrough here. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks so much. >> and that is it for us. >> yeah. it's been a great weekend. "fox news sunday" with chris wallace is coming up next. hope you have a wonderful president's week. >> yes, see you next week. the employee of the month is...
