4:02 am
we're letting them think that, you know, we're okay with what's going on and we're absolutely not okay with it. >> reporter: "the indianapolis star" newspaper is making its editorial message about the law in bold type on this morning's front page, "fix this now." republican leaders in the indiana general assembly are scrambling to contain the controversy and possibly clarify the law to show that it does not allow discrimination. indiana governor mike pence writing in "the wall street journal" says the law is simply misunderstood. "unfortunately, the law has stirred a controversy and in recent days has been grossly misconstrued as a license to discriminate." outside indiana, an avalanche of criticism. connecticut has joined washington state in banning taxpayer-funded travel to indiana. companies such as apple and angie's list have voiced loud critiques, and the ncaa headquartered in indiana is reconsidering its investment there. >> we have to say, all right, what are we going to do if this law goes into effect in july and what's our relationship with the
4:03 am
state of indiana going to be? >> reporter: susan saulny, abc news, washington. well, arkansas will likely be the next state to have a religious freedom law, and we could see it by the end of the day. that legislative committee approved a final version yesterday and the house will vote on it today. the governor has promised to sign it. like indiana, arkansas' proposed law protects a business' right to refuse to serve someone because of religious beliefs and like indiana has no law in arkansas on the books that forbids against discriminating against someone because of their sexual orientation. new details about the security scare at nation's biggest spy agency. one man was shot to death, another injured when they tried to crash the gate at the nsa in maryland. sources say the men had been involved in a robbery and then took the wrong exit off a parkway. they had apparently been up most of the night partying. each was wearing a wig and women's clothing. well, just a few hours left for diplomats facing a midnight deadline to reach a deal on iran's nuclear program.
4:04 am
negotiators were at the table shortly after dawn this morning. secretary of state kerry said it would be a long day. a new abc news/"washington post" poll shows that 59% of americans support lifting economic sanctions but only 31% are confident a deal would prevent iran from developing those nuclear weapons. meanwhile, the iranian supported rebels in yemen are taking a pounding from a saudi-led coalition. air strikes overnight destroyed a weapons storage facility controlled by the rebels. those air strikes have already neutralized the rebel-held air force. now the saudi coalition has also imposed a naval blockade to keep them from taking arms shipments. a disturing new revelation about the co-pilot who crashed his airliner into the alps. he had been treated for suicidal thoughts. andreas lubitz was treated years ago before he received his pilot's license. the airline won't say if they had that information. meanwhile, scientists have started the grim task of identifying the remains, which could take months. searchers are still looking for

4:06 am
rally in miami april 13th to reveal whether he'll run for president. rubio is up for re-election to the senate in 2016, but florida law bars him from making a bid for both offices at the same time. if he runs, he could face as many as 20 other gop rivals. president obama and politicians from both sides of the aisle descended on boston to pay tribute to the late senator ted kennedy. it was the dedication of the edward kennedy institute, which opens to the public today. it's an interactive museum devoted to civic education. the speaker shared memories of kennedy's friendship and leadership and conflicts. >> i miss him. i miss his company. i miss fighting with him, to be honest. it's gotten harder to find people who enjoy a good fight as much as ted did. [ laughter ] >> just not as enjoyable. the institute centers around a life-sized replica of the senate chamber, and it has a copy of kennedy's office filled with

the first president bush. now, with reagan, who was 69 when he took office, they found an increased use of repetitive words and a decline in vocabulary. the research is aimed at developing early detection methods and treatments for alzheimer's before there is significant damage to the brain. and a sleep study from washington state university certainly sounds alarming. they looked at what's called exploding head syndrome. let me explain. it's a phenomenon which involves people being awakened by an inexplicable loud noise that actually never existed. the study says about 20% of us experience exploding head syndrome, which occurs when most of the brain's neurons shut down all at once suddenly instead of gradually. research says the ability to recognize the syndrome and not be afraid of it may actually make it better, but no word that it's actually harmful to you, just scares the heck out of you. >> sounds horrible. >> it does. well, now some basketball, the ncaa women's final four is set. so was geno auriemma and he got to his girls at halftime.
