from your credit cards et cetera. you haven't hired one person. >> he hired workers from poland and he had t tpay $1 million. >> that's wrong. >> people can look it up. i'm sure people are googling it right now. polish workers, you'll see $1 million for hiring illegal workers on his projects. he did it. that happened. >> i've hired tens of thousands of people over my lifetime. tens of thousands. >> many from other countries. >> be quiet. let me talk within i've hired tens of thousands of people. he brings up something from 30 years ago. it worked out very well. everybody was happy. by the way, the laws were totally different. that was a whole different world, but i've hired people. nobody up here has hired people. >> marco is right that a federal government found donald guilty

and found a $1 million judgment againsnshim. >> mr. trump. >> i can only say this and i've said it loud and clear for many years and many of these people are sitting in the audience right now because the audience is packed with them and they're packed with you, i've had an amazing relationship with politicians, both democrat, republican, because i was a businessman. as one magazine he's a world class businessman. i got along with everybody. you get along with nobody. you don't have one repubtican -- you don't have one republican senator and you work with them every day of your life, although you skipped a lot of time, these are minor details, but you don't have one republican senator backing you. you don't have the endorsememe of one republican senator and you work with these people. you should be ashamed of yourself. >> i think donald is right, he

will cut deals in washington. he is right, he's given hundreds of -- the next democratic primary is saturday in south carolina and here is nancy cordes. >> we could turn this into ary vooif al. >> reporter: hillary clinton and her preacher came out today as she court reporter black crowds in south carolina. >> i think we need more singing, don't you? i sing because i'm happy. >> reporter: in michigan bernie sanders was focussed on minorities too meeting with residents in flint. >> this water is brown and they continue to ignore it. >> reporter: neither candidate can win in the delegate rich super tuesday states without minority support. in 2008 african-americans alone made up half of the democratic electorate in alabama and georgia and nearly a third in virginia and tennessee. 32% of democratic voters in

>> when you have people like trump saying that mexicans are rapists or criminals that is an outrage. >> reporter: a new national poll finding clinton leading sanders among hispanic voters by a margin of two to one. her husband's crime bill has been a sticking point for some. two black lives protesters night. >> can i talk? >> reporter: the protesters were escorted out and clinton later said she was sorry for some of the terms she used in the 90s including the phrase super predators. she says it was a poor choice of words. both clinton and sanders want to reform the way drug crimes in particular are handled because

and latinos are ending up behind bars. this evening president obama claimed progress against the isis terrorist group in syria. he said that isis has lost 40% of its teitory, cut the pay of its trps and is reduced to ususg civilians as human shields, but the wider war in syria is not going mr. obama's way. american backed rebels are on the run. the forces of the assad dictatorship are advancing for the first time in years because of russian air support and iranian troops. it is rare dpor a reporter to get into syria, butut our elizabeth palmer covered the dictator's advance today. >> reporter: this used to be a neighborhood. now it's a battlefield where the syrian army says it's got the enemy on the run. there's just been an air strike bebend me.

center of damascus and the syrian army is trying to clear this suburb of opposition fighters. there is certainly no cease fire here at the moment and there's not going to be in he time soon. one of the syrian soldiers takes us to see the buildings half a mile away where he says the rebels are now hiding. overhead we can hear the helicopters scouting their target, then -- what are they hitting? they're terrorists, he says. those are barrel bombs? barrel bombs are basically con sters filled with explosives rolled out of a chopper. they'r'r cheap, but horribly inaccurate. are there any civil yaps left over there? no, no, he says, only fighters, but there are fighters families

near by we enter tunnels soldiers say were dugug by by fighters where they hid and fought for years. the general leads the way through ruins he now controls. you're still using air strikes in the suburb in order to fight? yes, he says, because they're dangerous for syria and the world so we're justified in using any weapons that are legal, but that means when this overstretched and under trained army does gain ground, it's victories look like nothing more than a few blocks of rubblele but the truth is that by now all sides in this war are completely exhausted and unlikely as it sounds just a couple of suburbs over the army has reached a mini truce with the rebels to allow food and supplies to reach civili civilians.

today, the director of the f.b.i. said that his battltlwith apple is the toughest fight he's faced in government. a federal magistrate ordered apple to unlock the iphone of one of the san bernardino terrorists, but today, apple toto the court that order is dangerous. jeff pegues has more. >> reporter: in its filing, apple says the f.b.i. is seeking a dangerous power and that it would be forced to dedicate six to 10 apple engineers to create new code that apple calls the government operating system or government o.s. apple said there would even have to be a government's forensics lab on company grounds that could be used to open hundreds of other seized devices in law

apple says: if it creates software to break into the iphone, criminals will view the c ce as a prize. >> this is the hardest question i have seen in government. >> reporter: f.b.i. director james comey reassured members of congress today that the bureau only wanted access to the iphone used by san bernardino terrorist syed farook. comey said the f.b.i. is standing on firm legal ground, but congress needs to set the limits on how far government investigators can go. >> i'm a huge fan of privacy. i love encryption. it's a great thing. but our need for public safety and our need for privacy are crashing into each other, and we've got to sort that out as a people. >> reporter: apple agrees that congress should have a bigger role in this debate, but, scott, the court case is moving forward. google a a facebook are expected to file legal papers in support of apple. >> pelley: jeff pegues for us

jeff, thank you. tornadoes in several states yesterday killed at least four people, including three in waverly, virginia, where we find chip reid tonight. >> man, it's an experience, man. you goto experience it to talk about it. >> reporter: vincent donond was about to sit down right here to watch tv when the tornado slammed into his mobile home, sheering off the roof and the wall. do you feel lucky to be alive? >> i'm not lucky. i'm blessed. >> reporter: but the tornado tore his neighbor's mobile home from its foundation and sent it sailing across a highway. a two-year-old boy, his father, and another man died. their r dies and other debriri were found 300 yards away. somehow, the boy's mother survived with serious injuries. in nearby appomattox, virginia, a 78-year-old man died and 100 buildings were damaged after a funnel cloud left an eight-mile path of destruction. at least three tornadoes were reported in north carolina.

were leveled. in pennsylvania, a tornado ripped through amish country, hitting structures in narvon. a torrential downpour lead to flash flooding in and around washington, d.c. and left one major road flooded for the morning commute. in the new york area, a gust of wind sent this truck airborne. and,d,cott, take a look at this. off queens, new york, 12-foot waves capsized a coast guard boat as it was trying to rescue fishermen on another vessel that had run aground. and back h he in waverly, virginia, you're looking at a photograph of a-plus tires before the tornado. now you're looking at a-plus tires after the tornado. this was the garage door. that up there is the metal that was once the roof. scott, it's a good example of what happens when a tornado meets a building made of sheet metal. >> pelley: and we want to point out, no one was injured in the coast guard incident today. chip, thanks very much.

portable electronics has triggered huge demand for rechargeable batteries, but many of these batteries are now bursting into flames in places you would least expect. vinita nair is looking into this. >> reporter: when the fire first ignited, employees at thth kentucky gas station thought it was a bomb. it turned out to be an e- cigarette that exploded in josh hamilton's pants. he suffered third degree burns. it's just the lateststncident involving defective lithium ion batteries that power e- cigarettes. 22-year-old evan spahlinger had to be placed in a medically induced coma for three days after one of them blew up in his mouth. >> it's an alternative to smoking cigarettes. it's supposed to be a safer and a healthier way of doing it. >> reporter: the same battery cells that power e-cigarettes, so power hoverboards. since december there have been 52 reported incidents involving hoverboards catching on fire. jay whitacre is a professor at

he said the demand to make these products cheaper and more powerful has led some companies to cut corners. >> what we're seeing right now is a situation where maybe some of these batteries are simply not made to the same standard as the battery that are made say, at sony or panasonic, which have much more stringent quality control. >> reporter: whitacre says that lithium-ion-n-wered items like e-cigarettes and hoverboards are considered high-power applications. if their batteries are badly designed when they are crged they can overheat. is it something thth the user is doing incorrectly? >> no. in general, with this kind of technology, it's very difficult for the user to be at fault. there is a well-controlled charging circuit, and there should be a good package t tt the cell lives in. both of those things should be designed to protect the user. >> reporter: industry advocates say these incidents are still rare and that users should always use compatible batteries and chargers. they say to avoid battery contact with metal objects, scott, such as coins, keys, or jewelry.

>> pelley: airbus has an idea that could revolutionize the in- flight experience. think flying station wagon. here's kris van cleave. >> reporter: jet maker airbus wants to patent a seating concept taking a row of three airline seats and tuing it into a rapidly and easily reconfigurable bench. it could seat the traditional three passengers, shift to two people who need additional space, including overweight passengers, or even fit a fourth person, like two parents and two small children. the airlines will c csider ything that allows them to make a buck.

the editor of "usa today's" "today in the sky" blog. >> if we've seen nothing else in the airline industry, they're very clever about coming up with ways to sell seats to passengers, especially when they can charge more for either seats that are better or for seats that are less awful. >> reporter: airbus previously sought patents for a design stacking passengers and this semi-standing concept. seat maker zodiac created a hexagon pattern where the middle seat faces the passengers in the aisle and window while adding up to 30 more passengers per plane. tennessee congressman stephen cohen worries extra seats could jeopardize safety making it hard to evacuate within the required 90 seconds as seen in this video. he's authored a bill requiring the f.a.a. to set minimum seat- size standards. >> if people can't get out of an airplane in emergency conditions they lose their lives. it shouldn't be after there's an accident. after there's an accident, it's too late and people are dead.

now, scott, will an airline say they want these seats and will safety regulators ever allow em to be installed i ia plane? >> pelley: kris van cleave, thank you, kris. what's killing players in the

sports-related sudn cardiac death is highest among basketball players. one big question is what's a normal heart size for these athletes? to find out, dr. david engel and colleagues reviewed the heart ultrasounds of more than 500 n.b.a. players. when you first saw them, you thought these are big hearts. these are abnormal? >> the first instinct is to say these hearts are enlarged. we're not used to seeing hearts for people that are this big. the average n.b.a. player is 6'7" and the average weight is 222 pounds. >> reporter: it turns out, like any other muscle, the heart gets bigger with exercise, although the hearts of the n.b.a. players were about 10% thicker than normal, that was not felt to be dangerous. the research establishes a baseline for doctors going forward. and how does this help us? >> this should help us distinguish those changes from dangerous heart condions that can lead to sudden cardiac death. >> reporter: in additiononthey found that the aorta, the major

also bigger in these athletes and knowing that will help with future diagnosis. scott, dr. engel says this is now a model for evaluating athletes in other sports. >> pelley: jon lapook, thank you very much, jon. well, soccer's biggest star came through with heart today for his biggest fan. murtaza ahmadidia five-year-old from afghanistan was photographed wearing a lionel messi shirt made from a plastic bag. it went viral so messi sent him an autographed shirt froro argentina's national team. the bag has been retired. up next, a math teacher's
